The food trucks were a big success. I got a lot of compliments on the food. It was something fun for my daughter's wedding instead of the old sit down chicken dinner. I highly recommend you doing it for your next event. Kim was very helpful and organized it making everything come together smoothly.

What can I say about Kim and Tampa Bay Food Truck Rally except that they saved this mama’s life! We had the concept of an outdoor event with food trucks for our son’s wedding reception even before he got engaged. So, when the time came, I began to search out food trucks on my own. Luckily, I came upon the TBFTR website which immediately grabbed my attention. And am I glad it did! Kim Sanders was invaluable in all steps of planning our event, from helping us decide which types of cuisine we wanted, to the number of trucks we would need, to reserving the trucks for the event. Then, along with her assistant Jessica, she was there well before the event until all clean-up was finished that evening. She answered every question and concern I had along the way. This is our fourth child to get married, fourth wedding reception to plan and, by far, the absolute least stressful occasion of the four. Our guests are still raving about the amazingly delicious food provided by Nico’s and The Rolling Gourmet (how about those fries…YUM!) and how much fun it was to have a genuine food truck walk-up “experience”. And can I tell you how excited the kids (and grownups!) were about the sundae and snow cone bar provided by Chief’s Chill-out? All of the food was fresh, made to order and served quickly. It was a perfect evening and I am so very thankful that Kim and Tampa Bay Food Truck Rally was there to help us out! Let’s have a party so we can do it again!

Our Roots: The Evolution of Tampa’s Food Truck Scene

The Tampa food truck scene gained momentum with the city’s first food truck rally on Sept. 23, 2011, organized by Tasting Tampa. This event helped spark a thriving food truck culture in the region. By 2013, Tampa became one of the top cities for launching a food truck, second only to San Antonio, Texas. Tampa Bay Food Trucks has been instrumental in this growth, partnering with major employers, universities, hospitals, and local attractions such as Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lead times for food trucks in St. Petersburg can vary depending on the season and which day of the week your event is being held. The specific location, such as St. Petersburg, Sarasota, or Clearwater, can also affect the availability. Typically, it is a good idea to book your food truck at least 30 days prior to your event. However, we often have availability within this window, although you may have to be more flexible with your food choices. Contact us to see what we can do to cater your next event!
When hiring a food truck for catering in Pinellas County, you typically receive a comprehensive package designed to simplify your event planning. This includes a diverse and customizable menu tailored to your preferences, professional chefs and staff to prepare and serve the food, and all necessary equipment, such as plates, napkins, and utensils. Additionally, you can expect personalized service with attention to dietary restrictions and special requests. Some vendors may also offer options for beverages, desserts, and themed décor to enhance the overall experience.

Typically we deploy trucks for 2-3 hours. We can certainly do longer shifts, but, if there isn't an adequate number of meals to justify the time additional fees will apply.

We can help you cater events of all sizes, from small gatherings to large corporate events. Our minimum catering order is $1,450. The number of people this will feed depends on the type of food requested. If you just want to serve something simple, like hot dogs, you can feed more people on this budget. However, if you are looking for comfort food or specialty items, then this budget will feed fewer people. Contact us today and we can give you all the options available and help you plan exactly what you need.

We're a rain or shine company. Rain in Florida isn't something that's predictable but usually, it comes in short waves and can easily be worked around during an event time. We do reschedule events for extreme weather conditions like Hurricanes and Tropical Storms.

We cannot, we inquire with trucks individually and provide the details of your event to ensure the truck is capable and able to complete your service well. We can certainly provide options, but, we need a starting point so we have an idea of what would work for your event.

Contacting us is easy! For quick inquiries, give us a call at our office where our friendly staff is ready to assist you. If you prefer written communication, send us a form detailing your event needs and any questions you might have; we strive to respond promptly to ensure you have all the information you need.
