Food Truck Catering for Columbia Schools and Campuses
From the bustling Horseshoe at the University of South Carolina to Friday night lights at Dutch Fork High, school life in Columbia, SC, moves fast—and hungry students move even faster. Best Food Trucks makes school food truck catering in Columbia as easy as a stroll down Main Street during Soda City Market. Whether you’re planning a Gamecocks tailgate, a Benedict College club fair, or daily lunches for Richland One and Lexington–Richland Five, our curated lineup of local trucks keeps cafeteria lines short and school spirit high.
Our best-in-class online ordering platform lets students, teachers, and staff grab their shrimp & grits or barbecue brisket with just a few taps, skipping the wait so they can get back to class—or kickoff. We handle scheduling, health-code compliance, and payment processing, pairing each event with trucks that meet every dietary need, from gluten-free to vegan. All you have to do is pick the date; we’ll bring the flavor.
Check out a few Columbia favorites ready to roll onto your campus:
- Carolina Cookin' – Gourmet Seafood specialties like soft-shell crab and creamy stone-ground grits, rooted in Lowcountry tradition.
- Mardi Gras Tyme – Authentic Cajun classics such as Creole jambalaya and red beans & rice that’ll make you say “Laissez les bons temps rouler!”
- RB Top Chef Mobile Kitchen & Catering – Slow-smoked barbecue and Southern sides perfect for pep rallies and booster club fundraisers.
- The Haute Dog Lady – Gourmet hot dogs and American-comfort staples ideal for quick, crowd-pleasing lunches.
