Seven trucks on Austin's roster serve American comfort food, and between them they cover the whole diner menu: cheeseburgers and bacon cheeseburgers, pastrami sandwiches and pastrami burgers, hot dogs, steak sandwiches and grilled cheese, smoked brisket and pulled pork, pizza by the slice and Texas cheesesteaks, BBQ nachos, loaded fries, onion rings and Wisconsin cheese curds.

Austin's American Menu for Your Next Event

Every item below comes from a truck you can book in Austin today.

Burgers & Fries

Cheeseburgers, bacon cheeseburgers, pastrami burgers and Mexican-style burgers, all with fries. Six trucks on the roster make one.

Deli Sandwiches & Hot Dogs

Pastrami sandwiches, steak sandwiches, grilled cheese and hot dogs with fries from the deli truck, and a Mexican-style dog from the burger truck.

Smoked Brisket & Pulled Pork

Chopped brisket and pulled pork sandwiches, BBQ plates and BBQ nachos from the Central Texas BBQ trucks.

Pizza & Cheesesteaks

Pizza by the slice, two-slice meals, Italian subs and a Texas cheesesteak meal from the pizza truck.

Loaded Fries & Fried Sides

Loaded fries, loaded nachos, onion rings, jalapeño poppers and Wisconsin cheese curds. The sides are the reason people come back to the window.

Sweets to Finish

Churros from the burger truck, banana pudding from the BBQ truck and Rice Krispie treats from the pizza truck, or add a dessert truck on the same order.

Why Event Planners Choose Food Trucks

The catering choice that delivers on taste and experience

The Widest Choice in Austin

Seven trucks under one listing means a burger, a brisket sandwich, a slice and a hot dog are all a single request away.

Nobody Goes Hungry

Comfort food is the safe order for a mixed crowd of kids, clients and picky eaters.

Options for Every Diet

Impossible burgers, a vegan sandwich, gluten-free buns and vegetarian slices are on the roster.

Two Trucks, One Invoice

Pair a burger truck with a BBQ truck for a large event and you still get one order and one invoice.

Perfect for Any Austin Occasion

From corporate gatherings to backyard celebrations

Corporate Lunches & Appreciation Days

Burgers or brisket sandwiches at The Domain, downtown or East Austin. The safe pick for an office that includes everyone.

Weddings & Rehearsal Dinners

A burger or BBQ truck for a casual rehearsal dinner, and a hot dog or pizza truck for the late-night crowd.

Birthday Parties & Backyard Cookouts

Burgers, dogs and cheese curds for a backyard party where the host would rather not run the grill.

Tailgates & Game Days

UT home games and youth sports banquets in Round Rock and Cedar Park. Comfort food serves fast and travels well.

Community & Church Events

Block parties, church picnics and fundraisers book American trucks for volume and a menu everyone recognizes.

Brand & Festival Events

SXSW pop-ups and downtown activations use burger and pizza trucks for crowds that eat standing up.

Best Times to Book in Austin

Plan around Central Texas weather and the festival calendar

Evening cookouts and shaded lunch spots beat the July heat. Lemonade and aguas frescas from several trucks help keep the line comfortable.

UT football Saturdays and ACL Fest weekends in October are the contested dates, so book those early. Otherwise this is the best outdoor weather of the year.

December holiday parties fill calendars, and January is the quietest month, with the widest choice of trucks. Austin's mild winters keep outdoor service comfortable most days.

SXSW week in March goes first, so book that early. April and May bring ideal weather, and graduation Saturdays in late May fill fast.

Austin Catering Experts

Austin's American trucks are the deepest bench on the roster: six burger windows, a deli truck with pastrami and hot dogs, three Central Texas BBQ trucks and a pizza truck with cheesesteaks.

That depth is why an American listing is the easiest place to start for a large event: two trucks of different styles, one order, one invoice.
