People line up for our Love Me Tender chicken sandwich and the buffalo soldier sandwich. I run a compact all‑American truck that specializes in chicken, sandwiches, and straightforward American plates. We park with a simple menu and move fast. We do boxed lunches for offices and events, set up on site when needed, and handle orders for conferences and neighborhood gatherings. Our catering menu lists chicken sandwiches, tenders, and grilled cheese. But we can also upgrade it to include , a the entire menu vegan and offer other sandwiches that are not on the standard menu. We can offer gluten‑free options on request—a salad with grilled chicken. Service is casual, plates and boxes handed out at the window. Folks mention the tenders and sandwiches most often in reviews and press pieces, and we get repeat orders for catering. I keep things practical. If you need on‑site food truck service and boxed lunches with a broadly appealing menu that your crew will love and ask for again and again—Yankee Doodle Dandy’s is the truck for you!

How this list of New York trucks is ranked
These are the food trucks you can book for events across the five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, North Jersey and Fairfield County, ranked by verified host reviews and recent bookings on Food Truck Club. New York is new on the platform, so ratings are still building and trucks without reviews yet are listed after the rated ones. Compare menus, per-person prices and minimums, then book a truck online.

Rated by hosts
After every event the host rates the truck. Only trucks booked through Food Truck Club can be reviewed.
- 2
Weighted by volume
A long record counts for more than a handful of reviews, so a few perfect scores do not outrank dozens of great ones.

Ties go to recent work
Trucks with more confirmed bookings in the last 12 months rank higher. Trucks without a review yet come last.
Local know-how
Planning a food truck event in New York
New York crowds expect range, and the trucks joining the roster reflect the city they cook in. Each truck's profile shows its full menu, per-serving price, minimum order and dietary notes, so you can see what fits your guest list before you book, and pair a meal truck with a dessert or coffee truck when the event runs long.
Street vending in the five boroughs runs on a scarce city permit, so nearly every event happens on private property: a plaza, a lot, a loading dock or a street closed under a Street Activity Permit. Manhattan towers want a certificate of insurance naming the building and a scheduled dock or curb window, New Jersey and Connecticut towns license vendors separately, and winter dates need a covered spot or an indoor space next to the truck. Tell the truck where it will park when you book.
Every truck is reviewed and approved by our team before it can take bookings and carries its own health permit and liability insurance. For event ideas and costs by event type, start with the New York food truck guide, or browse every New York truck by cuisine.
Midtown, Hudson Yards and the Financial District
Office towers and plazas host lunches and client events; confirm the loading-dock or curb window and security check-in with building management, and expect to provide a certificate of insurance.
Brooklyn and Queens
The Navy Yard, Industry City and Long Island City campuses and towers book employee lunches and resident truck nights; block parties on residential streets need a Street Activity Permit.
Long Island and Westchester
Route 110 offices in Melville, the Platinum Mile in White Plains and backyard graduation parties across Nassau and Westchester; confirm with property management where the truck can park.
North Jersey and Fairfield County
Exchange Place and Newport in Jersey City, Metropark and Raritan Center, Morris County office parks and downtown Stamford; each town licenses mobile vendors on its own, which the truck handles.
- How is this list of New York food trucks ranked?
By host reviews. After each event booked through Food Truck Club, the host rates the truck. Trucks are ordered by their average rating, weighted by how many reviews it rests on, so a truck with a long record is not outranked by one with two reviews.
Ties go to the truck with more confirmed bookings in the last 12 months. Verified New York trucks without a review yet are listed after the rated ones, by recent bookings. The list updates hourly.
- Why do so few New York trucks have reviews yet?
New York is a new market on Food Truck Club. Ratings come only from hosts after their events, so they build as New York events are served and reviewed. Trucks without reviews yet are listed after the rated ones.
Every truck on the list was reviewed and approved by our team before it could take bookings, carries its own health permit and liability insurance, and is covered by our Satisfaction Guarantee.
- What do New York's top rated trucks charge per person?
Across bookings on Food Truck Club, the typical price is $18 per person before tax, and the middle half of events land between $14 and $24. The median minimum order is $750; an event for 100 to 149 guests typically totals about $1,950, and one for 200 to 299 guests about $3,120.
These are platform-wide medians, not local figures, and a Manhattan quote includes the truck's tolls. Each truck on this list shows its own per-serving price and minimum, so compare those before you book, or see the food truck cost guide for how guest count and cuisine change the total.
- Can I book a specific truck from this list?
Yes. Open the truck's profile, check its menu, per-serving price and minimum, then pick your date and guest count, place the order online and pay once the truck accepts.
If your first choice is not free on your date, pick another truck from this list or browse every New York truck. You can also tell us about the event and we'll connect you with an available truck. See how it works.
- How many trucks does a large New York event need?
One truck serves up to about 150 guests. For bigger groups, book two or more so lines stay short, and check each truck's minimum, since every truck you add has its own.
At a Manhattan dock, stagger the arrival windows so the trucks are not waiting on the same bay, and pair a meal truck with a dessert or coffee truck when the event runs past a single service window.
- Where can a truck park in New York?
On private property, a building plaza or a parking lot, the owner's approval plus the truck's own permits and insurance are enough. A truck needs a level spot about 25 feet long with 12 feet of clearance, placed so driveways and emergency access stay open.
Public curb space is rarely an option in the five boroughs because city vending permits are scarce; closing a street needs a Street Activity Permit, and a park event goes through NYC Parks. New Jersey and Connecticut towns each license vendors separately. Tell the truck the address when you book and it will confirm what applies.
