Cleveland's Premier Barbecue Food Truck Catering: Elevate Your Event with Smokin' BBQ!

Let's get one thing straight, Clevelanders know their barbecue. And when it comes to hosting an event in The Land, serving subpar BBQ isn't just a faux pas; it's a missed opportunity to showcase the rich, smoky flavors that our city loves. Forget about the all-too-common tragedy of overcooked, dry meats masquerading as "juicy" thanks to a deceptive pool of juices. In Cleveland, we demand more from our barbecue, and that's where our local food trucks come into play.

Not to mention the unique flavors brought by The Pit BBQ Grille and Parker & Sons BBQ, each adding their own twist to Cleveland's barbecue scene.

And while barbecue is the star, let's not forget about the comfort and joy brought by American classics, perfectly executed by Hatfield's Goode Grub, rounding out an all-star lineup of food trucks that bring Boss Mode to every event. In Cleveland, we don't just feed our guests; we provide a culinary experience that reflects the heart and soul of our city.

I've tried everything on this cart! It's all awesome and nothing beats the convenience of a gourmet food truck right by the Lowe's - Brooklyn front door. Best food option in the area and reasonably priced.

We didn't ask about bbq sauce for the ribs. Not sure if we needed to include that when we ordered- or ask for it when we picked up.

Their Mexican food is great. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the steak sliders were slightly inconsistent, but great tasting.

Both the Cuban and pork sandwiches were delicious. The beans were cold but overall the food was excellent. I hope you come back!

There were a lot of overly fatty pieces in the brisket. The good pieces had a great flavor, but we had to throw away more pieces than we would have expected.
