Kansas City Barbecue Food Truck Catering: Bringing Smokin’ KC BBQ To Every Party!
Kansas Citians know good barbecue the way Patrick Mahomes knows a comeback: it’s baked into our DNA. From smoky burnt ends to saucy ribs that drip with Gates-level swagger, KC guests can taste the difference between real pit-master passion and reheated, gray “cue” that belongs in the penalty box at Arrowhead. If your barbecue is swimming in puddles of mystery juice, those aren’t “flavor bombs”—they’re signs the meat was steamed into shoe-leather. Your friends, clients, or wedding party deserve better than amateur hour.
Unlock Boss Mode with food truck catering that travels as well as it tastes. A properly outfitted Kansas City BBQ food truck rolls up with the smoker on board, slices to order, and serves every plate at peak tenderness—no chafing-dish shame, no dried-out regrets. Whether you’re feeding a rooftop happy hour in the Crossroads, a corporate picnic in Overland Park, or a tailgate outside GEHA Field, KC’s mobile pit masters keep the fire stoked and the queues moving.
Need the right rig for the gig? Check out some of the metro’s hometown heroes ready to park, smoke, and serve:

- Taylor Made Catering Food Truck – family-owned for 26+ years and slinging crowd-pleasing platters from weddings to WallStreet Tower rooftops.

Skip the line and soak in the KC vibes—let the pit masters text you when it’s chow time!
Kansas City knows how to throw a party, from First Fridays in the Crossroads to family reunions at Swope Park. With Best Food Trucks’ slick online-ordering system, your crew can mingle, dance, and debate who does burnt ends best—Joe’s or Jack Stack—without babysitting a long line. Guests tap in their KC BBQ order from any smartphone, then get a text the moment their ribs, brisket, or smoked jackfruit are sliced and sauced.
Hosting a big tailgate outside GEHA Field at Arrowhead or a corporate happy hour in Overland Park? Fire out a pre-order link days in advance so everyone can lock in a specific pickup time. No bottlenecks, no cold ‘cue, just warp-speed service that keeps the spotlight on your event.
That’s why the pros trust Best Food Trucks: our Kansas City barbecue food truck catering looks polished, runs smooth, and tastes like a Sunday at the pit.

We were a little nervous that they would need more time to set up, as they didn't arrive until about 25-30 minutes before our event. However that was the only potential negative aspect. These guys were quick with getting food out, I had so many positive comments regarding how good the food was I lost track how many there were. I would absolutely hire this truck again in a heartbeat.

The brisket was a little dry. Still good but I did use more bbq sauce than I usually do on a sandwich.

The flavor was great...I ordered the link, and the generosity from the chef on adding pickles and toast was a lovely surprise. Also, the BBQ sauce was amazing!

The crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)

The brisket and collards were on point. The flavor profile was spot on. Looking forward for the next time.

The brisket tacos were phenomenal. The sandwiches were also very good, a little saucier than my preference but I like little to no sauce, that's not a reflection of you guys, but it is all is very delicious.

The pulled pork and brisket were incredible. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. I'd eat it every week.
