Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Knoxville

From concerts on World’s Fair Park’s performance lawn to orange-and-white tailgates outside Neyland Stadium, Knoxville knows how to throw a party—and great food is half the fun. Gone are the days of bulky concession tents that needed extra permits, power hookups, and hours of setup. Today, fully self-contained food trucks roll in, fire up, and start serving hungry crowds in minutes.

Best Food Trucks coordinates Knoxville’s top mobile kitchens so planners don’t have to juggle multiple vendors or worry about Knox County health codes. Whether you’re hosting the Big Ears Festival, Dogwood Arts in Market Square, a corporate picnic at Chilhowee Park, or a marathon finish line along the Tennessee River, our food truck catering for large scale events in Knoxville delivers diverse menus that keep guests smiling.

Craving authentic East Tennessee barbecue? Book Smoked Pickle Barbecue or Clean Smoke BBQ for pulled-pork sandwiches and smoky ribs that would make any Vol fan proud. Looking for south-of-the-border flavor for Cinco de Mayo on Market Square? Dia De Foods dishes out street-style tacos and loaded nachos. Prefer a classic American bite? Hamburger Hill Food Truck stacks juicy burgers with Tennessee cheddar. And for pasta lovers watching the sunset over the Smokies, Penne For Your Thoughts twirls fresh noodles into crowd-pleasing Italian favorites.

With Best Food Trucks, you can mix cuisines, enable digital ordering to slash wait times, and leave parking logistics to us—and the only thing you’ll have to worry about is catching the fireworks over the Sunsphere. When it comes to food truck catering for large scale events in Knoxville, nobody serves the Scruffy City better.

Marathon catering

Skip the line in Knoxville and enjoy your large-scale event!

Nothing kills Big Orange spirit faster than standing in a half-hour food line. Best Food Trucks fixes that. Our Knoxville-ready online ordering system lets guests tap in their meal right from the lawn at World’s Fair Park, the concourse at Thompson-Boling Arena, or the midway at the Tennessee Valley Fair—and get a text the second their order is hot and waiting. No shuffling, no shouting over the crowd, just straight-up eating.

Planning a 20,000-person concert or a charity 5K along the Tennessee River? Send attendees a pre-order link so they can choose a pickup window before the gates even open. On event day our platform handles thousands of transactions per hour, so Smokies-sized crowds flow smoothly while Knoxville’s best food trucks keep the fryers sizzling.

Food truck catering for large scale events in Knoxville plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering equals pure efficiency: shorter lines, higher sales for vendors, and happy guests who can get back to singing “Rocky Top” under the Sunsphere. That’s how you serve the Scruffy City.

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!

The pizza taste great but the picture made them look bigger than the pie was and I didn't know I would have order a few more because they were small.

Nashville bourbon cheesesteak.. delicious only suggestion to put queso sauce in a separate container so the bread won't get soggy.

. The boneless wings and fries were really good but the kids burger barely had a meat patty on it. It was almost eating just bread. I know it's a kids burger but it still costs like 9 dollars.

I made a review earlier about their sauces being a little amount, I’ve tried them since and they have made the portion of their sauces much better and the food was amazing again!

Don't run out of German potato salad so early in the evening. We placed our order before 5:00 for a 5:20 pick up and they were already out of it.
