Nothing fits the Bay’s party vibe better than piping-hot Cajun cuisine fresh off a food truck.

The fried catfish. I only wish you would have added more packets of tartar sauce. I ended up having to use some cocktail sauce that I had.

The andouille and chicken gumbo was superb and beignets so fresh and light. I thoroughly enjoyed my Baton Roux food experience. I haven't had authentic Nola cuisine outside of New Orleans until now. Merci beaucoup

Yes. The food was great but it took 30 minutes longer to deliver the food than I had scheduled which was disappointing. Hence a 4.

Food was very good and our guests enjoyed it. However, the wait for food orders was 35 to 45 minutes. Thankfully we also had an ice cream truck that guests could visit and have their ice cream while they waited for their lunch order.

- 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.

- You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.
