Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Knoxville

From the banks of the Tennessee River to a sold-out Saturday at Neyland Stadium, Knoxville knows how to throw a party—and nothing fuels a crowd better than great food. Modern large-scale event catering in Knoxville has moved far beyond pop-up tents and extension cords. Self-contained food trucks roll in with fully equipped kitchens, serve hundreds of guests per hour, and roll out without leaving a trace. It’s the perfect match for events at World’s Fair Park, concerts on Market Square, or a packed Orange & White Game tailgate.

Best Food Trucks makes it simple to curate a fleet that fits your vibe, budget, and headcount. Whether you need smoky barbecue for a music festival, handheld bites for a downtown block party, or late-night pasta for a university fundraiser, we’ll line up Knoxville’s finest food trucks and handle the logistics so you can focus on the fun.

Check out just a few local favorites ready to serve your next large event:

  • Smoked Pickle Barbecue – award-winning pulled pork, brisket, and their famous pickled-pepper slaw.
  • Clean Smoke BBQ – low-and-slow Tennessee barbecue with house-made sauces that Vol fans swear by.
  • Dia De Foods – authentic Mexican street tacos and elote that keep the Big Ears Festival crowd coming back for seconds.
  • Hamburger Hill Food Truck – half-pound smash burgers stacked higher than House Mountain.
  • Penne For Your Thoughts – build-your-own pasta bowls perfect for late-night cravings on Cumberland Avenue.

No event is too big—be it a 5K on the Greenway, a corporate convention at the Knoxville Convention Center, or a Thunder in the City fireworks show. Contact Best Food Trucks today and discover why we’re the go-to choice for Knoxville food truck catering for large scale events.

The brisket grilled cheese was seriously the best BBQ sandwich I've ever had. It was PERFECT. The meat was Smokey and the BBQ sauce was definitely homemade because it was superb & you can taste the love that was put into it. My husband tried it & instantly wanted one. We will be ordering 2 sandwiches each next time - they were THAT good. Staff was friendly and our order was made exactly at the time we selected. 10/10 will be back!

Sandwiches were absolutely phenomenal. Cuban, chicken parm, grilled cheese and brisket were all top notch! Five stars there. Fries had zero taste and were pretty bad but the main course more than made up for it.

Everything! It's the best pizza I've ever had and I mean it. I do wish they had a customization option with more add ons. But for what they had I wouldn't change a thing. 10/10

I received the wrong pizza (pepperoni) at first. Once I took the incorrect pizza back to the truck they apologized and made the NY plain with extra cheese as I had originally ordered. The staff was friendly and professional. When I was picking up the remake the AFrame metal sign blew over and struck me in the back of my lower leg just above my foot. I would suggest that food trucks tie down or weight their signs to keep this from happening in the future. Luckily it did not land on the top of my foot since I was wearing flip flops. I have some bruising and have placed some ice on it.

My two favorite parts are the family atmosphere and the high quality food. I look forward to the savory sauces in the pastas.

Thanks food was good. Maybe think about adding a combo to your menu to add a taco or fries for an additional 3-4$
