Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Columbia, SC

From a packed Gamecocks tailgate outside Williams-Brice Stadium to a summer concert along the Congaree River, the Midlands knows how to throw a party—and great parties need great food. Modern food trucks deliver exactly that. Unlike the old tent kitchens that clogged up Finlay Park festivals with generators and extension cords, today’s trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, quick permitting, and zero fuss set-ups.

Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple food truck vendors for high-volume crowds, making us the go-to choice for large event catering in Columbia. We’ll park a fleet at the State Fairgrounds, Spirit Communications Park, or right on Main Street for Soda City Market-style block parties, giving your guests more culinary options than traditional caterers ever could.

Looking for bold Lowcountry flavor? Book Carolina Cookin' and wow your attendees with soft-shell crab & grits. Craving Cajun heat worthy of a Riverbanks Zoo & Garden after-hours bash? Mardi Gras Tyme dishes out jambalaya that would make New Orleans proud. For crowd-pleasing American bistro bites, Buck n Cluck serves up juicy chicken sandwiches and hearty burgers that keep lines moving fast.

When that famously hot Columbia sun kicks in, cool everyone down with hand-poured snow treats from Kona Ice - Columbia or the refreshing flavors of Ken's Famous Italian Ice. From corporate expos at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center to 10,000-person music festivals on the Horseshoe, we have a truck—and a menu—for every palate.

Ready to elevate your next large-scale event? Contact Best Food Trucks today and discover why we’re Columbia’s first choice for food truck catering. Great entertainment, iconic Midlands venues, and an awesome selection of food trucks: that’s how Columbia celebrates.

Skip the Line and Soak Up the Columbia Vibe

Nothing kills the buzz of a Gamecock-sized crowd faster than a 40-minute food line. Best Food Trucks fixes that. Our Columbia-ready online ordering platform lets guests tap in their order on a phone, stroll the Horseshoe, snap a selfie at the State House, and swing back when a text alerts them that their fried green tomato sliders are hot and waiting.

Running a riverfront concert at the Columbia Canal & Riverfront Park? Drop a pre-order link in your social feeds and let fans lock in pickup times before gates even open. Hosting Soda City’s Fourth Friday bash in Five Points? Our system effortlessly processes hundreds of orders per minute, keeping Main Street foot traffic moving and vendors cooking.

The result: attendees stay focused on your festival schedule, panel talks, or tailgate traditions—not a winding queue. Combine Columbia’s best food trucks with Best Food Trucks’ high-frequency ordering tech, and you get the fastest, tastiest way to feed a Midlands crowd.

There were three of us. We all had different foods but all of us loved them-we had one Heat burger with onion rings that both folks loved. One person got the veggie burger-I had a taste and we both loved the flavors. I had the Mediterranean salad. I enjoyed the mixture of ingredients and the unexpected flavors of the broccoli and cauliflower.

Nothing specific, my wife just thought the Sonora steak tacos were ok but nothing special. My 3 mahi mahi tacos tasted great but were cold and I had to heat them in the microwave.

First experience. All was pretty good. Burger was well seasoned, bacon was good. Could have used a bit more of the signature sauce. All in all a good experience
