Providence Barbecue Food Truck Catering – Bring Smokin’ BBQ To Your Rhode Island Party!
When you’re hosting a party in Providence—whether it’s a graduation on College Hill, a family reunion at Roger Williams Park, or a WaterFire night along the Riverwalk—serving sad, gray, lukewarm “barbecue” just won’t cut it. Folks in the Ocean State want the real deal: ribs with a perfect smoke ring, brisket that melts like Narragansett butter, and sides that taste like home on Federal Hill.
That’s why the smartest hosts turn to Providence barbecue food truck catering. Instead of chafing pans and overcooked meat, you get pit-fresh flavor right at the curb. Imagine Le Smoking BBQ firing up hardwood smokers in Elmhurst, or No Joke Smoke BBQ pulling into Pawtucket with handmade sauces that shout “Rhode Island pride.” Craving a fusion twist? Tacofied can drop its famous “BBQ-Tacofied” tortillas—think pulled-pork gyros and house-made sodas—perfect for a Brown University tailgate. For big backyard weddings, Big T’s Jerky House and BBQ brings 25 years of southern pit mastery, and you can even invite Boston favorite Travelin’ Bones BBQ to roll down I-95 for extra smoke power.
Best Food Trucks handles every logistic—permits, parking, and seamless mobile ordering—so you stay in total Boss Mode while your guests devour championship-level barbecue. From corporate lunches in the Jewelry District to late-night bites after PVDFest, our Providence barbecue food truck catering keeps the smoke rolling and your reputation sizzling.
Skip the line and savor more of your Providence party!
Whether you’re toasting the bride at an East Side backyard wedding or cheering on the Friars near the Dunkin’ Center, nobody wants to waste time standing in a food truck queue. Best Food Trucks’ seamless mobile-ordering system lets your guests tap in their barbecue cravings right from their phones—then stroll Benefit Street or snap selfies by the State House dome until a text says their brisket is ready.
Hosting a WaterFire soirée? Drop a pre-order link in the invite and your friends can schedule pick-ups before the braziers are even lit. Planning a lunch rush in the Jewelry District? Set staggered pickup windows so smoked ribs and mac ’n’ cheese roll out hot without jamming the sidewalk.

The brisket was a little dry. Still good but I did use more bbq sauce than I usually do on a sandwich.

The flavor was great...I ordered the link, and the generosity from the chef on adding pickles and toast was a lovely surprise. Also, the BBQ sauce was amazing!

The crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)

The brisket and collards were on point. The flavor profile was spot on. Looking forward for the next time.

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.

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.
