Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Wilmington, NC

From the Riverwalk along the Cape Fear to the lawns beneath the shadow of the Battleship North Carolina, Wilmington knows how to throw a party. Whether you’re planning a concert at Live Oak Bank Pavilion, the street fair at the Azalea Festival, or a Seahawk tailgate outside Trask Coliseum, one thing every Port City crowd demands is memorable food. That’s where food truck catering comes in.

Unlike old-school tent vendors that need extra permits, power drops, and hours of setup, modern food trucks roll up ready to cook in fully self-contained kitchens. Guests spend less time standing in line and more time enjoying the music, the river breeze, and that famous Wilmington sunset. Best Food Trucks will coordinate a lineup of trucks that can handle crowds of 500 or 50,000, making us the go-to choice for large-scale event catering in Wilmington, NC.

Comments from Inspira Senior VP: The staff loved it. The vendor even made sandwiches & waffles brought them to OR staff that couldn’t get to the truck. They came from Morris County in north jersey. Very pleasant & accommodating. Please let them know of the great service

The portion was more than expected and hot and fresh. A coworker ordered the Pepperoni pizza and it was really good as well

I really liked Max’s hot chicken. I got the gyro plate and it was great quantity. The only thing I didn’t enjoy as much was that the meat was too salty.

The nachos had great flavor but the beef and chicken could have been hotter. The meat was a little cold but overall, I would definitely get the nachos again.

Nope it was really good. Was not expecting 5 stars so did not give a 5, but beats typical food trucks rated 2 or 3
