Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Knoxville

From tailgates on the banks of the Tennessee River to packed concerts at World’s Fair Park, Knoxville knows how to throw a party—and great parties need unforgettable food. Modern food trucks give large events downtown, in Farragut, or out by the foothills of the Smokies a fast, self-contained kitchen that sets up in minutes, not hours. No extra tents, no temporary wiring, just hot food served fresh to thousands of hungry Vols fans or festivalgoers.

Best Food Trucks specializes in food truck catering for large-scale events in Knoxville. Whether you’re planning a marathon finish line near the Sunsphere, a corporate picnic at Lakeshore Park, or a weekend full of SEC action outside Neyland Stadium, we can book multiple trucks that keep lines short and guests smiling. Our network covers every appetite—from slow-smoked East Tennessee barbecue to authentic Italian pasta—so your attendees enjoy more variety than any traditional tent vendor could offer.

Check out a few local favorites we regularly schedule for Knoxville’s biggest gatherings:

  • Smoked Pickle Barbecue – crowd-pleasing pulled pork, ribs, and their signature tangy pickle-brined chicken.
  • Clean Smoke BBQ – classic Southern barbecue plates that pair perfectly with a cold sweet tea on a hot game day.
  • Dia De Foods – street-style tacos and loaded nachos that spice up any Market Square festival.
  • Hamburger Hill Food Truck – towering smash burgers and fresh-cut fries that satisfy big crowds fast.
  • Penne For Your Thoughts – scratch-made Italian pastas and garlic knots perfect for evening concerts at Thompson-Boling Arena.

Ready to elevate your next large event? Let Best Food Trucks handle the logistics so you can focus on entertainment, sponsors, and the Volunteer spirit. Contact us today for seamless, scalable food truck catering in Knoxville!

Fun Run catering

Skip the line at your Knoxville Large-Scale Event

Nothing kills Big Orange energy faster than a 30-minute food line outside Neyland or a crowded queue at World’s Fair Park. Best Food Trucks solves that problem with Knoxville’s first large-event online ordering platform. Guests pull out their phone, tap the truck they want—whether it’s Smoked Pickle Barbecue or Penne For Your Thoughts—and keep cheering, shopping, or exploring the Sunsphere while their meal is prepared. The moment it’s ready, they get a text and pick up at a dedicated express window. No shuffling through lines, no missing the “Rocky Top” touchdown song.

Planning a marathon on the Gay Street Bridge or a summer concert series in Market Square? Send your runners or music lovers a pre-order link so they can schedule a pickup time before the gates even open. Our system is built for Knoxville crowds, easily processing thousands of high-frequency orders during festivals, UT commencement, or the Smoky Mountain Air Show.

Food truck catering for large-scale events in Knoxville has never been this seamless. Pair our local fleet with Best Food Trucks’ online ordering and give your attendees what they really want: more time enjoying the event, less time standing in line, and unbelievably good eats they’ll be talking about all the way down I-40.

Once home, we discovered that we weren't given the broth that was to accompany the Birrias or the sauce and limes that were to accompany the tacos. Disappointing...
