Fort Wayne Barbecue Food Truck Catering – Real Smoke, Real Flavor, No Lukewarm BBQ Allowed!
If you’ve spent an afternoon tailgating before a TinCaps game or strolled through the Three Rivers Festival, you already know Fort Wayne takes its barbecue seriously. Guests at your next event—whether it’s a graduation party in Aboite, a wedding reception along the St. Marys River, or a corporate picnic at Headwaters Park—expect the same wood-fired perfection they find at their favorite local pit stops. That means juicy brisket with a pink smoke ring, ribs that pass the “clean-bone test,” and pulled pork piled high on a soft bun, not the sad, gray buffet-tray mystery meat that’s steamed itself into oblivion.
The smartest hosts in Fort Wayne skip the chafing dishes entirely and call in professional barbecue food truck catering. A rolling smoker pulls up, the hatch pops open, and the aroma of hickory and mesquite drifts across the Allen County Fairgrounds—instant crowd-pleaser. Food trucks keep everything hot off the grate, serve it fast, and disappear before the last spark in the firebox goes out, leaving you with nothing but happy guests and Instagram-worthy plates.
Best Food Trucks partners with top local favorites like Head 2 Hock and Street Chef to deliver championship-level barbecue catering all over Fort Wayne. From classic American comfort sides—think smoked mac-n-cheese and bacon-braised greens—to inventive chef specials, these trucks roll up ready to flex their pit-master skills. We handle the logistics, parking permits, and service flow so you can stay in Boss Mode and focus on greeting guests, not refilling Sterno cans.
Planning a family reunion in Foster Park, a late-night campus bash at Purdue Fort Wayne, or a vendor appreciation lunch near Dupont? Tap the button below and secure the best barbecue food truck catering Fort Wayne has to offer. Your guests will taste the difference real smoke and local expertise make—and you’ll look like a hero.

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

The truck arrived 30 mins late, which caused quite a disturbance. The food was cooked and served quickly. Some things were overcooked and dried out, a bit. However, Mike was very courteous and professional and accommodating.
