"Food truck was good! The individuals running the truck were hospitable, they arrived early, and all of our guests were satisfied. We got tacos, churros, and elote. My only critique is that the chicken tacos were incredibly dry. The al pastor and asada tacos were much better."

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about food truck catering in Gary
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our customer support team.
- What happens if it rains on the day of my Gary event?
- Food trucks operate rain or shine and serve from their windows, so guests stay dry. For outdoor seating, consider a backup plan with covered areas. We can help you think through logistics.
- What's the best food truck setup for a small office lunch in Gary?
- For small office lunches (20-50 people) in Gary, a single truck with a pre-selected menu works great. Many trucks offer boxed lunches or taco bars that are perfect for smaller groups.
- What happens if the food truck cancels?
- Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee means we'll find a replacement truck or provide a full refund. Your payment is held securely until service is delivered to your satisfaction.
- How does coordination work for multi-truck events in Gary?
- Food Truck Club handles all coordination — arrival times, parking layout, and service flow. For multi-truck events in Lake County, IN, we ensure each truck has adequate space and your guests have a seamless experience.
- How far in advance should I book food truck catering in Gary?
- A couple of weeks of notice covers most events, and week-of works more often than not. During peak corporate event seasons (spring and fall), booking early gives you the widest truck selection.
- Are there travel fees for food trucks coming to Gary?
- Most trucks based in the Chicago area travel to Gary (about 30 miles) without extra fees. Venues farther from the metro center may see a small travel surcharge, which we'll confirm upfront.
- Can food trucks near Gary accommodate dietary restrictions?
- Many trucks offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly options. When you submit your booking request, let us know about dietary needs and we'll match you with trucks that can accommodate them.
