Barbecue Food Truck Catering in Jersey City: Bring Smokin’ BBQ To Every Party!
When you’re throwing a bash on the Hudson—whether it’s a birthday at Liberty State Park, a rooftop corporate mixer near Exchange Place, or a waterfront wedding in Paulus Hook—you want your guests raving about the food long after the last sparkler fizzles out. Nothing kills the vibe faster than sad, gray, lukewarm “barbecue” sweating in aluminum pans. In Jersey City, we expect more. We expect the kind of pit-master magic that perfumes Grove Street with hickory smoke and makes passers-by on Newark Avenue wonder where the party is.
That’s where Best Food Trucks steps in. We partner with the top Jersey City BBQ food trucks, handle all the tricky parking permits and logistics, and make sure the only thing you need to worry about is grabbing a second helping of brisket. From Hoboken-border block parties to late-night bites outside White Eagle Hall, our barbecue food truck catering service turns any gathering into a full-blown cookout.
Craving championship-level ribs? Book Michael's Backyard BBQ and let the slow-smoked aromas take over Montgomery Street. Want a mash-up menu that keeps everyone happy? Pair tangy pulled pork sliders from Empire BBQ NYC with over-the-top stuffed sandwiches from STUF'D. Need a halal-friendly option for your Newport office lunch? Wraps And Kebabs brings Mediterranean flair—shawarma, kebabs, and all—to the BBQ party. And when the crowd demands all-American comfort, Mickey's Oasis Grill & BBQ has you covered with smoky classics and grill-side favorites.
Bottom line: Jersey City BBQ lovers know quality the moment that first bite hits. Skip the sad buffet trays and fire up the city’s best barbecue food truck catering instead. Your guests will taste the difference, your event photos will be filled with saucy smiles, and you’ll cement your status as the host who always brings the heat—literally.
Skip the Line—Let Jersey City’s Best BBQ Come to You!
Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering platform was practically built for fast-moving Jersey City parties. From an after-work BBQ happy hour on the Harborside boardwalk to a graduation party by Saint Peter’s University, your crowd can pull out their phones, tap in their order, and get a text the moment their brisket is ready—no shivering in a wind tunnel on Washington Boulevard, no clogging the sidewalk outside City Hall.
Here’s how it works: we send you a custom pre-order link as soon as your barbecue food truck catering in Jersey City is confirmed. Guests choose their pick-up time—before the DJ drops the first track, during the vows at a Hudson River wedding, or after the fireworks on the Morris Canal basin. Orders fire straight to the pit master, and your guests stroll up only when their name pops up on their phone. Lines disappear, plates stay hot, and the party keeps rolling.
Professional planners downtown use our system to keep Exchange Place mixers looking polished; now you can, too. Whether you’re a first-time host or a seasoned event pro, Best Food Trucks streamlines Jersey City BBQ catering so you can focus on clinking glasses, not chasing orders. Tap us in, kick back, and watch your event run as smoothly as the sauce on those St. Louis ribs.

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.
