Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Grand Rapids

Whether you’re planning an ArtPrize block party on Monroe Center, a summer concert at John Ball Zoo or a huge tailgate outside Van Andel Arena, great food is what transforms a gathering into a true Grand Rapids experience. Modern food truck catering delivers that wow-factor without the headaches that used to come with big tent kitchens—no extra permits, no generators sprawled across the lawn at Riverside Park, and no hours of tear-down when the last song ends.

Best Food Trucks coordinates a fleet of fully self-contained mobile kitchens that roll in ready to serve crowds of any size. From gourmet waffles on a stick to hand-dipped ice cream cones, Grand Rapids’ diverse trucks keep lines moving and guests happy. Looking for a high-volume caterer for the Amway Family Fireworks, a corporate outing at Millennium Park or a multi-day festival on Calder Plaza? Our team handles all the scheduling, menu planning and onsite logistics so you can focus on the show.

Here are just a few local favorites we can book for your large-scale event:

  • MyCone Creamery – Small-batch premium ice cream cones and frosty beverages, perfect for cooling down a humid West Michigan afternoon.
  • Roll Call by Gettin' Fresh – A multicultural menu that lets your guests travel the globe without leaving downtown GR.
  • Airborne Burritos – Veteran-owned and military-themed, serving gourmet burritos inspired by flavors from around the world.
  • Waffle Stix – Michigan’s original waffle-on-a-stick, offering both sweet and savory options that keep lines moving at festivals.
  • Around Baking Company – Artisan desserts that add a touch of Grand Rapids sweetness to any celebration.

Skip the Line at Grand Rapids’ Biggest Gatherings

Best Food Trucks’ Grand Rapids-based online ordering system lets your crowd grab killer eats without missing a guitar solo or power play. Guests place their order right from their phone, stroll the Riverwalk, then get a text when their perch taco or vegan smash burger is hot and ready.

Planning ahead for a marathon day on Calder Plaza? Send attendees a pre-order link so they can lock in a pickup time before they even find parking near The Rapid station. Our platform is built to process thousands of tickets per hour, so whether you’re feeding 500 conference-goers at DeVos Place or 30,000 fireworks fans along the Grand River, transactions stay smooth and lines stay short.

Fries were blah. I love shoestring fries but these were not great. Very plain. Not a great taste. Our burgers were very good. Chicken fingers were average. I wish we could find a place that did amazing beer battered chicken fingers.
