Food Truck Catering for Columbus Neighborhood Events

Whether you’re planning a summer movie night in Clintonville, a tailgate-style block party in the University District, or a family fun day at a Short North pocket park, you’ve got enough on your plate. Let Best Food Trucks handle the actual plates—plus cups, napkins and the rest—so you can focus on music, permits and making sure the cornhole boards are level. Our neighborhood catering team lives and breathes Columbus food truck culture, from Franklinton’s arts scene to Worthington’s farmers markets, and we treat every guest like they’re coming over for Sunday dinner in Bexley.

Skip the hassle of piecing together menus, chasing down private chefs or juggling no-show vendors. Best Food Trucks delivers fully self-contained kitchens on wheels that arrive on time, cook fresh and clean up without a trace. Need crowd-pleasing American comfort food? Tap Roadster. Craving customizable street tacos? La Delicia and Valle Verde have you covered. Looking for loaded fries and Philly cheesesteaks that disappear faster than a Buckeye kickoff return? Rolling Bistro is your MVP. Prefer Mediterranean flavor that feels right at home along the Scioto Mile? Book Demos Grille.

Best of all, our industry-leading digital ordering system keeps lines short and neighbors happy. Guests place orders on their phones, receive pickup texts and get back to the block party in minutes—no cash, no confusion, no complaints. From one truck on a quiet cul-de-sac to a fleet feeding the entire Olde Towne East, our Columbus food truck catering scales with your vision. Book today and give your neighborhood event the local flavor it deserves.

Skip the line and soak up your Columbus neighborhood event!

Best Food Trucks brings the same high-tech convenience you’ll find at a Blue Jackets game right to your block. Our Columbus-built online ordering system lets guests at your Italian Village porch party or Merion Village art walk order from their phones, pay in seconds, and get a text when their food is hot and ready. No standing in queues, no missing the drum circle, no fumbling for cash—just pure neighborhood fun.

Want to dial in the timing even more? Shoot out a pre-order link before the first lawn chair is unfolded so neighbors can lock in a pickup window before, during, or after the festivities. Food truck catering in Columbus plus our seamless mobile ordering keeps everyone focused on cornhole, chalk murals, and catching up—not on waiting. Easier for you, happier for them, and a win for every community gathering from Grandview to Gahanna.

Well, my husband and I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and it was phenomenal. The crunch on that bread was amazing. Probably the best sandwich I've ever had on Italian beef as a matter of fact, it was the best sandwich ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Truck arrived well before the event to prepare. The owners/workers were very friendly as I met them upon arrival. They provided a varied selection of entrees to satisfy everyone's tastes and provided options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was also delicious per the team; I can say the burgers and burritos were a hit.
