Supporting Wilmington’s Small Businesses—One Crispy Chicken Sandwich at a Time
Booking a chicken food truck in Wilmington, NC does more than satisfy hungry guests—it pumps energy (and revenue) back into the Port City’s small-business scene. Most Wilmington chicken trucks are run by solo chefs who perfected their recipes at the Riverfront Farmers’ Market or on late-night runs down Front Street. Every plate of buttermilk fried chicken you order sends dollars to local families, not distant corporations, helping keep our downtown storefronts on Castle Street and the Brooklyn Arts District thriving.
Food trucks are also a win for eco-friendly catering on the Carolina coast. Because the kitchen rolls right up to your Wrightsville Beach wedding or Mayfaire corporate lunch, there’s no need for cross-town delivery vans or mountains of packaging. Modern truck kitchens use high-efficiency fryers and compostable service ware, cutting energy use and landfill waste compared with traditional buffet setups.
So the next time you Google “corporate chicken catering near me” for a UNCW departmental mixer, an Ogden neighborhood block party, or a film-set lunch in Screen Gems Studio, choose Wilmington’s chicken food truck pros. You’ll get crunchy, coastal flavor—and you’ll fuel the local economy while keeping our shores just a little greener.

Well, my husband and I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and it was phenomenal. The crunch on that bread was amazing. Probably the best sandwich I've ever had on Italian beef as a matter of fact, it was the best sandwich ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
