We used Tampa Bay Food Trucks for our wedding at Uliana Estate in Lakeland, and they were incredible! Kim Sanders helped us throughout the entire process and made everything so easy. She listened to what we wanted and matched us with the perfect trucks. We ended up choosing Chief’s Cantina for street tacos and One Stop Shop for sliders, and both were a huge hit with our guests. The food was delicious, service was efficient, and the whole setup added such a fun, relaxed vibe to the night. Highly recommend working with Tampa Bay Food Trucks and Kim!

Choosing Tampa Bay Food Trucks was one of the best decisions I made in planning our wedding. Kim was an amazing communicator and made me feel so prepared, even coming out to our venue ahead of time since she had not been there before. We chose three trucks for our guests, which gave us an incredible menu with so many options and something for everyone. Everyone loved the food, and any line that formed simply gave people time to talk and enjoy each other. We had so many happy guests. We chose Dochos Latin Bistro, Breaking Bread BBQ, and Say Cheese, and everything was delicious. My only regret is not going back for seconds. I would recommend them to anyone wanting great food and the calm confidence of knowing their food service will run smoothly and taste amazing.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kim for our wedding celebration, and truly we couldn't recommend booking Tampa Bay Food Trucks more! Kim was so helpful from the very beginning and our guests absolutely loved the food from our vendors (The Forge Wood Fired Pizza and Crab Daddy's Surf & Turf). If you're looking for something to wow your guests, this is definitely it!

Tampa Bay Food Trucks was our first and is still our primary booking agency since we started our business, in 2022. Mike, Kim, Ben , and Tish , have all been our mentors, plus the other food truckers affiliated, have become our food truck family. It’s an incredibly close-knit network of people who can count on each other, in all circumstances. We have established a good reputation and means of income, because of Tampa Bay Food Trucks!

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.
