Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Knoxville

Big Orange Country knows how to throw a party, whether it’s 100,000 fans pouring into Neyland Stadium, a summer concert at World’s Fair Park, or the Dogwood Arts Festival stretching across Market Square. What every successful Knoxville gathering has in common—besides that familiar view of the Sunsphere—is incredible food. Modern food trucks make large-scale event catering easier than ever. Each truck rolls in as a fully self-contained commercial kitchen, so you skip the headache of tents, generators, and long setup times.

Best Food Trucks partners with East Tennessee’s most popular mobile kitchens to keep lines moving and guests happy. From gourmet bites to down-home comfort food, we’ll curate a fleet that matches your crowd and your budget. Planning a riverside fundraiser, a Smoky Mountains marathon, or a UT alumni tailgate? We’ll coordinate multiple Knoxville food trucks, handle all permits, and provide real-time ordering technology, so you can focus on the show.

Here are just a few local favorites we can bring to your next large-scale event:

  • Smoked Pickle Barbecue – Slow-smoked meats kissed with Appalachian hickory and a tangy pickle twist.
  • Clean Smoke BBQ – Award-winning pulled pork and ribs served with classic Knoxville hospitality.
  • Dia De Foods – Street-style tacos and birria that bring a fiesta to Volunteer Country.
  • Hamburger Hill Food Truck – Smash burgers stacked higher than House Mountain.
  • Penne For Your Thoughts – Hand-tossed pasta and zesty sauces inspired by Old-World Italy, perfected in East Tennessee.

When you need reliable, mouth-watering food truck catering for large-scale events in Knoxville, call on Best Food Trucks—the local experts who understand Rocky Top crowds.

Skip the Line and Soak Up the Knoxville Scene

Best Food Trucks’ Knoxville-ready online ordering system lets your crowd spend more time singing “Rocky Top” and less time standing in line. Whether they’re tailgating outside Neyland Stadium, catching fireworks over the Tennessee River, or dancing at the Rhythm N’ Blooms Festival, guests can pull out their phone, browse every participating food-truck menu in one place, and tap to order. A text alert tells them exactly when their food is ready—no more missing a guitar solo or a fourth-down conversion.

Want to get a jump on the rush? Include a pre-order link with your ticket confirmations so fans can reserve smoked wings or hot chicken for a specific pickup time before the gates even open. Our platform is built for high-frequency ordering, capable of handling thousands of transactions per hour when Market Square is shoulder-to-shoulder. For large-scale event catering in Knoxville, pairing local food trucks with Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge mobile ordering keeps lines short, bellies full, and the spotlight right where it belongs—on your event.

Food was amazing. Chef Yarwood clearly knows what he is doing. The steak tips with mushrooms and onions as well as the Mac and cheese were truly delicious. I will definitely be ordering again in the future.

Good pizza! I love the crust and the garlic is over the top! Suggestion: allow me to add sausage and extra basil to the base white pizza without adding red sauce.😉

The Ice Dreammm Truck was a hit. Strawberry Shortcake was a favorite. The employees were very friendly.

I found the cheese pizza to be salty and the margherita pizza needed more tomato sauce. The cauliflower crust was good as was the balsamic vinaigrette.

I was home and didn’t plan on going back out. I got a pop up that the Melt Machine was a few minutes away. I placed an order and left my house for a grilled cheese and tots! LOVE the Melt Machine!!!!

The sandwich and salad combination is a good value: whole sandwich and large salad. It was also very tasty.

The food was delicious. For the price it would have been nice to have an egg roll in the plate. But it was really good.
