Check three things before you book: whether the truck runs off its own generator or needs a power supply at the venue, how much level ground it needs to pitch, and the gate or archway clearance on the way in. Service rate matters too. Most single-window trucks serve 60 to 100 guests an hour, so larger events often book two.
Of the 31 suppliers listed here, 30 are based in the United States. The other one is willing to travel there.

Food trucks in the United States serve hot food cooked on site, which makes them a practical option for venues with no kitchen of their own and for events where the catering is meant to be part of the entertainment. Most operate as full catering businesses with commercial kitchen equipment on board.
Ask for the pitch size the truck needs, including room to open a serving hatch and space for any towing vehicle that stays on site. Confirm whether power comes from an on-board generator or the venue supply, and whether the ground needs to be hard standing. Menus are usually fixed on the day rather than cooked to order, so agree the options and any dietary requirements in advance.
Rates for mobile catering in the United States range from $70 to $1,500+, with most bookings around $500. Guest numbers and menu complexity move the figure most, and many operators set a minimum spend rather than a flat fee. Ask whether staff, setup and clearing are included, and whether travel beyond a set radius is charged separately.
The average price is $500 (USD), with most priced from $70 to $1,500+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.
