Boston's Smokehouses on Wheels
Boston's barbecue scene has grown up fast, and smokehouse trucks bring brisket, ribs, and pulled pork to company outings, tailgates, and backyard parties across the metro.
Book verified Greater Boston BBQ trucks for outings on Route 128 campus lawns, Patriots tailgates, and reunions on the Shores.
BBQ for Your Next Boston Event
Smoked meats, house sauces, and the sides that go with them.
Slow-Smoked Brisket
Brisket smoked low and slow with house rubs. The centerpiece for an appreciation event or a company outing.
Pulled Pork and Ribs
Pulled pork sandwiches and ribs for picnics, tailgates, and reunions.
Smoked Chicken and Turkey
Smoked and grilled poultry keeps a lineup covered for guests who skip red meat.
BBQ Bowls and Sandwiches
Bowls and sandwiches that serve fast and travel well from the lot to a desk or a tailgate blanket.
Sides and Sauces
Mac and cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, and cornbread. Sides are where BBQ trucks compete, and they round out a plate for a fixed per-person price.
BBQ and Dessert Pairings
Pair a BBQ truck with an ice cream or whoopie pie truck to turn an outing into a celebration.
Why Event Planners Choose Food Trucks
The catering choice that delivers on taste and experience
Built for Big Groups
BBQ plates serve fast when the meat is smoked ahead, which makes these trucks a natural fit for 200-person outings and tailgates with two or three trucks.
Real Smokehouses
Boston's BBQ trucks smoke on board or overnight and make their own rubs and sauces. This is pitmaster food served from the truck it was smoked on.

Best Times to Book in Greater Boston
Plan around the metro's calendar for the best selection
Summer Peak (June-August)
Graduation parties, weddings, and town days compete for BBQ trucks through the summer. Book early for a weekend date; a weekday lunch needs far less. Coastal wedding dates go first.
Fall (September-October)
Ideal weather, move-in weeks, Head of the Charles, and New England's best wedding season. October is the sweet spot for outdoor corporate events.
Winter (November-March)
Trucks serve year-round from covered docks, parking garages, and indoor-adjacent setups. Winter weekdays often have the best availability of the year. Holiday parties fill December.
Spring (April-May)
Marathon Monday, then weather that turns by May. Commencement season across dozens of campuses makes late May and June the tightest windows. A strong window to start a weekly lunch rotation.
Greater Boston Catering Experts
Boston's BBQ trucks work a metro where Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and every surrounding town license vendors separately, and where downtown buildings and lab campuses ask for insurance certificates and dock windows. Trucks in our network carry the permits for the town your event is in, and our coordinators handle the paperwork with your site.
Whether you're hosting at a Seaport tower, a Kendall Square lab, a Newton backyard, or a Route 128 campus, our trucks bring professional service and New England flavor.
