Fort Lauderdale BBQ Food Truck Catering: Bring Smokin’ Barbecue To Your Next Party!
Nothing says “Fort Lauderdale party” like the aroma of slow-smoked meats drifting across A1A or through a backyard on the New River. When you book BBQ food truck catering in Fort Lauderdale, you skip the soggy hotel-pan barbecue and serve the real deal—pulled pork that drips with flavor, brisket so tender it barely survives the walk from smoker to bun, and ribs that make even seasoned locals line up like it’s the Las Olas Art Fair.
The trick is simple: hire the city’s best barbecue food trucks and let their pitmasters roll right up to your event. They smoke on board, carve to order, and hand your guests plates that are still sizzling. No gray, lukewarm “queue” sitting in its own juices—just vibrant, wood-fired perfection that shows everyone you know how to throw a Fort Lauderdale bash.
Need crowd-pleasing options? Check out hometown favorites like Fat Boyz BBQ, famous from Pompano to Plantation for their epic brisket plates, or Big Tree BBQ, the Pompano Beach legend whose ribs rack up five-star reviews faster than the Intracoastal fills on a king tide. Want to mix in comfort-food sides and Caribbean flair? Bring in 3 Island G's Mobile Cuisine, where Chef Gregory George marries island spices with Southern smoke. Round out the lineup with Latin fusion crowd-pleasers from Che Grill or seasonal specialties prepared by Seasons catering LLC.
From beachfront weddings in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea to corporate retreats off Cypress Creek Road, Fort Lauderdale BBQ food truck catering guarantees hot-off-the-smoker quality, zero cleanup, and a party vibe only a rolling kitchen can deliver. Unlock Boss Mode for your next gathering—book a Fort Lauderdale barbecue food truck and let the smoke speak for itself.
Skip the Line—Soak Up the Sunshine and Let the Smoke Do the Talking!
At a Fort Lauderdale gathering, nobody wants to waste time in a queue while the breeze off the Atlantic is calling. Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system lets your guests relax on the patio, snap selfies by the Intracoastal, or catch the next set by the pool instead of hovering around the truck. With a few taps on their phones, they can order fall-off-the-bone ribs or mojo-kissed pulled pork and get a text when it’s hot and ready.
Hosting a sunset reception on Las Olas Isles? Send a pre-order link ahead of time so friends can schedule pick-ups right as the tiki torches light. Planning a tailgate outside DRV PNK Stadium? Guests can order during warm-ups and grab their brisket sandwiches at halftime—no lines, no hassle.
Food truck catering in Fort Lauderdale should be about beach vibes, not busywork. Our online ordering keeps the focus on the party while still delivering smokin’ barbecue fast, fresh, and hassle-free. The pros count on Best Food Trucks to make their events look—and taste—top-tier. Whether you’re a first-time host or a seasoned event planner, we’ll help you serve championship-level BBQ without breaking a sweat. Everyone wins when the only thing rising higher than the temperature is the smoke from your pit!

We had Mr Mack's catering for our jobsite lunch event where we had around 90 people. Service was pleasant and food was enjoyed by everyone. Would definitely recommend.

Food was very good and our guests enjoyed it. However, the wait for food orders was 35 to 45 minutes. Thankfully we also had an ice cream truck that guests could visit and have their ice cream while they waited for their lunch order.

It was good but so spicy! I wasn’t expecting it to be spicy. It may be too spicy for the average person lol.

The pork combo was great. Pork was melt in your mouth, the slaw and mac and cheese, baked beans and brisket sandwich were also very good.

. The Mac and cheese was delicious. The BB sauce had a little bite to it; however, got use to it. The beef was great

Well, in the past (and I've had Newmans a lot for lunch), I typically received 4-5 ribs rather than three, which is what I received today. The cost of my lunch was $19 for 3 ribs, a coke, and Mac-n-cheese (which also was a very small portion). Bottom line, the $19 cost did not equate to the meals value.

The food was fresh, the mac and cheese is unlike most other places mac and cheese, and the cornbread + butter is delicious
