How Best Food Trucks Lifts Up Olympia’s Small Businesses

Booking American comfort food truck catering in Olympia doesn’t just fill bellies—it fuels the local economy. Nearly every truck in our lineup is a home-grown venture run by solo entrepreneurs, veteran chefs transitioning from downtown brick-and-mortars, or family teams who’ve served the Thurston County farmers markets for years. When you choose a food truck for mac ’n’ cheese, fried chicken, or backyard-style BBQ, you’re keeping dollars circulating from West Bay Drive to Yelm Highway and giving your neighbors the opportunity to thrive.

Food trucks are also a greener choice for events at locations like Heritage Park or the Hands On Children’s Museum. Their compact kitchens sip far less energy than a full-scale catering set-up, and built-in portion control means less food waste heading to the landfill on Hogum Bay Road. Fewer delivery vans rumbling down I-5, more fresh, hot meals served curbside—it’s a win for Olympia’s air quality and for your guests.

So the next time you search “American comfort food trucks near me in Olympia,” tap Best Food Trucks. You’ll get crave-worthy cuisine and a feel-good way to support the small businesses that make our city deliciously unique.

The brisket tacos were phenomenal. The sandwiches were also very good, a little saucier than my preference but I like little to no sauce, that's not a reflection of you guys, but it is all is very delicious.

please bring this one back. All of the sandwiches were great even the tater tots were soft in the middle and crispy on the outside perfect.

Make pictures more appealing- that was a large problem last night. You need a photographer or something to make those pictures were artistic . The pictures of the Philly cheesesteak do not look good and the burgers all look wilted. The taste of the food is not translating in the pictures. Your onion rings are delicious. Chicken fingers are average. You need a honey mustard dipping sauce. Cheeseburger was very good - add a pickle spear on the side. Fries were average Also add more choices than just Coke - and maybe you have them, but it doesn't show up on line.

The pulled pork and brisket were incredible. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. I'd eat it every week.

Best chicken sandwich ever! It had a lot of meat and the flavor was amazing. The slaw was excellent too. Will look for them again.

The food was absolutely amazing—the meats were tender and smoky, and every side dish was flavorful. The service team was outstandingly professional, friendly, and efficient, ensuring all our guests were served quickly and with a smile. Most importantly, the entire event went off without a single issue. Sweet Magnolia Smokehouse delivered incredible food and zero stress, making them the absolute highlight of our day!

My husband and I each had a fried chicken sandwich- the classic one and the one with cheese, lettuce and tomato. These were the best chicken sandwiches! We liked them better than Chick fil A!!

How does food truck catering work with Best Food Trucks?
With Best Food Trucks, you choose the budget for your event and provide details like, time, date, how many diners and what type of party you're throwing. Best Food Trucks will send out your request to regional food trucks who will submit a proposal based on your budget.
How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?

Best Food Trucks has the best in class technology platform to allow your guests to skip the line and order directly from their phone. This ensures that your customers can enjoy your event and avoid waiting in line. When their order is ready, they'll get a text message to come pick up their order.
