Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Knoxville

Knoxville knows how to throw a party—whether it’s a packed Saturday at Neyland Stadium, an evening concert series on Market Square, or the colorful Dogwood Arts Festival stretching across World’s Fair Park. No matter the occasion, hungry crowds expect the same Volunteer-State hospitality they get at a backyard cookout. That’s where Best Food Trucks steps in. We coordinate full-service food truck kitchens that roll in fully licensed and self-contained, eliminating the headaches of pop-up tents, extra permits, generators, and long setup times.

Our curated lineup brings every flavor Knoxville craves. Fire up smoky East Tennessee barbecue from Smoked Pickle Barbecue or the competition-style goodness of Clean Smoke BBQ. Spice things up with street-taco favorites from Dia De Foods, sink your teeth into stacked burgers at Hamburger Hill Food Truck, or twirl creamy Alfredo from Penne For Your Thoughts. From gourmet to grab-and-go, we match the right trucks to your guest count, venue layout, and service window.

Planning a 10,000-person tailgate along the Tennessee River or a multi-day sports tournament in Farragut? Best Food Trucks scales seamlessly, coordinating staggered arrival times, multiple service lines, and integrated point-of-sale systems so lines stay short and fans stay happy. You focus on the music, the fireworks, or the opening whistle—our Knoxville food truck catering team handles the rest.

Make your next large-scale event in Knoxville unforgettable with the city’s best rolling kitchens and the pros who schedule, staff, and streamline them. Contact Best Food Trucks today and discover why we’re the first call event planners make for food truck catering for large scale events in Knoxville.

No long queues, no wandering around World’s Fair Park with a buzzer—just tap, pay, and pick up.

Our high-volume system was built for exactly this pace, processing thousands of orders per hour without breaking a (computer-generated) sweat. Send a pre-order link with your ticket confirmation, let fans lock in a pick-up time, and watch crowd flow—and concession revenue—stay smooth all day.

We hosted an office party at a local park & had Good Hombres there to serve lunch. Everyone loved the food & the service that was provided. We will definitely use them again in the future!

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...
