Delight Your Guests With Our Deli Food Truck Catering in Washington DC
From Capitol Hill block parties to corporate lunches on K Street, Washington DC knows a thing or two about a great sandwich. Whether you grew up ordering a “half-smoke” at Ben’s or grabbing a pastrami on rye near Union Station, that classic deli flavor is woven into the District’s food DNA. Best Food Trucks brings those same stacked sandwiches to your event with the top deli food truck catering Washington DC has to offer. Think house-roasted cold cuts piled high, tangy Italian dressing, locally baked hoagie rolls, and plenty of sides—crisp Old Bay fries, crunchy slaw, kettle chips, you name it.

We hired District Small Bites food Truck for our company picnic lunch, and they exceeded all expectations! The team arrived promptly on time, setup was seamless, and the service was top-notch. The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of options to cater to our diverse team's tastes. Every employee raved about the quality and flavor of their meals. What truly impressed us was the outstanding service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and ensured everyone had a fantastic dining experience. I highly recommend District Small Bites food Truck for any corporate event or gathering. Their professionalism, flexibility, and commitment to quality made our picnic a huge success.

The food was delicious The fries were good and I was late picking up so if I was on time and the food was hot I can't imagine how scrumptious it all would have been. I had the briscuit and my husband had the Philly cheese steak and they were both filling enough that we could save half each for tomorrow's lunch. I got an order of boom boom sauce just so I could know whether I should order the sandwich that has it the next time. I think I will; it has just enough of a kick, but not too much that it will cause me heartburn. Loved it.

I ordered the wings, which were good. I ordered a double batch to share with coworkers. Each one was short, a wing which the owner apologized for. Only one box had dipping sauce. He did supplement with cheesy breadsticks, which were delicious.
