Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Columbia, SC

When you’re planning a major gathering in the Heart of South Carolina—whether it’s a bustling tailgate outside Williams-Brice Stadium, a company picnic along the Saluda River, or a packed concert at Colonial Life Arena—great food can make the difference between a good event and an unforgettable one. Traditional tent kitchens demand extra permits, generators, and hours of setup. Modern food truck catering in Columbia eliminates that hassle with self-contained, fully licensed mobile kitchens that roll in, feed the crowd, and roll out without a trace.

Best Food Trucks pairs Columbia’s favorite mobile eateries with festivals, 5K runs, SEC watch parties, and even Famously Hot New Year celebrations. From gourmet seafood to icy sweet treats, we curate a lineup that keeps guests happy and lines moving fast—perfect for events drawing hundreds or even thousands.

Looking to wow your attendees with authentic local flavor? Check out these Midlands favorites that often anchor our large-scale events:

  • Carolina Cookin' – serving up soft-shell crab & grits and other Lowcountry classics with true Southern hospitality.
  • Mardi Gras Tyme – Cajun jambalaya, red beans & rice, and all the Big Easy vibes right here on Gervais Street.
  • Buck n Cluck – an American bistro on wheels, perfect for Segra Park baseball crowds hungry for burgers and wings.
  • Kona Ice - Columbia – gourmet shaved ice that keeps Riverbanks Zoo fundraisers cool on steamy summer days.
  • Ken's Famous Italian Ice – a Soda City Market staple offering silky Italian ices in every color of the rainbow.

From Five Points block parties to corporate retreats at the State House grounds, Best Food Trucks is Columbia’s one-stop solution for large event catering.

Skip the Line & Soak Up the Columbia Vibe

When you’re cheering the Gamecocks in Williams-Brice’s sea of garnet or dancing under the lights at Riverfront Park, the last thing your crowd wants is to waste twenty minutes in a food line. Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system for large-scale events in Columbia lets guests order straight from their phones, keep their spot on the lawn, and get a text when their tacos or BBQ sliders are ready.

Our system is built for the high-frequency rush that comes with SEC tailgates, Famously Hot festivals, and Soda City Market pop-ups. Share a custom pre-order link days before the gates open so vendors can prep, and your attendees can schedule a pick-up time that fits their agenda—whether that’s kickoff, an intermission, or the headliner’s encore.

Food trucks plus seamless mobile ordering equals fewer lines, happier guests, and more time to enjoy everything your Columbia event has to offer. That’s why planners across the Midlands trust Best Food Trucks for large-scale event catering with online ordering.

Love the popper. I liked how the jalapeño is within a tortilla so the filling doesn't spill out. Your tortillas are excellent.

The brisket melt is absolutely delicious. We loved the seasoning on the fresh cut fries. This is definitely our favorite sandwich truck that comes to Talavera.
