Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Columbus, Ohio

From Red, White & Boom on the Scioto Mile to game-day tailgates outside the Horseshoe, Columbus knows how to throw a party—and nothing fuels a Buckeye-sized crowd better than Columbus food truck catering. Best Food Trucks brings self-contained, fully licensed kitchens on wheels that roll in, serve fast, and roll out without the headache of pop-up tents, extra permits, or long teardown times.

Our roster of local favorites covers every taste. Craving American comfort classics? Roadster fires up juicy burgers and crispy fries that rival anything in the Short North. Need chicken that scores as high as a Blue Jackets power play? Chick Happens! delivers bistro-style sandwiches and sauces that keep Arena District crowds coming back for more. Looking for a veteran crew with 35+ years of culinary chops? City Classics can customize any menu for festivals as large as ComFest or the Columbus Arts Festival.

If your large-scale event guests are in the mood for global flavor, Cupzilla layers Korean BBQ, rice, and spicy gochujang into cups that are perfect for strolling Goodale Park. And when you want a “party in your mouth” filled with Philly cheesesteaks, tacos, and loaded fries, Rolling Bistro brings the fiesta right to your festival gates.

Whether you’re feeding 500 runners at the Cap City Half Marathon finish line or 5,000 fans at Lower.com Field, Best Food Trucks coordinates multiple trucks, handles logistics, and keeps the lines moving. For the most reliable, crowd-pleasing food truck catering for large scale events in Columbus, let us curate a lineup that tastes as big as the city’s Buckeye pride.

Skip the Line and Savor the Columbus Large-Scale Event

Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering platform lets your guests cheer on the Buckeyes, browse the Columbus Arts Festival, or dance at WonderBus instead of standing in a food line.

No crowded queues, no missed moments—just hot, local eats delivered at the perfect time.

Hosting a massive turnout for Red, White & Boom or the Cap City Half Marathon? Send a pre-order link days in advance so runners, families, and festival-goers can lock in a pickup window before the gates even open. Our system was built for high-volume, high-frequency events, processing thousands of transactions as smoothly as a Cannonball dive at Zoombezi Bay.

It was the best gluten-free pizza I've had since New York City and the chocolate Dubai dessert was amazing. I hope they come to Starkey ranch again soon!!

Once home, we discovered that we weren't given the broth that was to accompany the Birrias or the sauce and limes that were to accompany the tacos. Disappointing...
