A long record counts for more than a handful of reviews, so a few perfect scores do not outrank dozens of great ones.

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 Philadelphia
The Philadelphia roster runs from cheesesteaks, barbecue and grilled cheese to dumplings, fried chicken and donuts, wood-fired pizza, walking tacos and roasted corn, with açaí bowls, gourmet pops, ice cream and water ice for dessert. Compare them all on the full Philadelphia roster.
Ratings here are still building. Most trucks haven't had a host review yet, so they are listed after the rated ones, and the order shifts as hosts review their events.
Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable seasons for outdoor events. July and August are hot and humid, a good time to add a water ice or ice cream truck, and winter events work when guests eat indoors while the truck serves from outside. Graduation weekends in late May and June and Eagles home games go first, so book those dates early.
Center City and Market Street
Office lunches and client events in high-rise towers; ask building management whether a loading dock, private plaza or nearby lot can host the truck.
University City
Campus, research and hospital events around Penn and Drexel; university and hospital property usually requires vendor approval and a certificate of insurance, so start that paperwork early.
Navy Yard and the South Philadelphia stadiums
Office campus lunches at the Navy Yard and tailgate gatherings near the stadiums; confirm with the property manager or lot operator where a truck can set up, and plan around game-day traffic.
Main Line, Montgomery and Bucks counties
Backyard parties, school events and suburban office parks; for a township park or street, check the township's rules on vendors and permits.
- How is this list of Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia trucks without a review yet are listed after the rated ones, by recent bookings. The list updates hourly.
- What do Philadelphia's top rated trucks charge per person?
Across bookings on Food Truck Club, trucks run about $18 per person before tax, and most events land between $14 and $24. The typical minimum order is $750, a 100-guest event comes to about $1,950 and a 200-guest event about $3,096.
Those are platform-wide medians, not Philadelphia-only figures. Each truck on this list shows its own per-serving price and minimum, and the full total with tax appears before you pay. The cost guide breaks prices down by guest count and cuisine.
- Can I book a specific truck from Philadelphia's top rated list?
Yes. Open the truck's profile, check its menu and minimum, and place the order online. Nothing is charged until the truck accepts your date.
If that truck can't take your date, pick another one from this list, browse every Philadelphia truck, or tell us about the event and we'll match you with trucks that fit.
- Should I book a Philadelphia truck that has no reviews yet?
Most Philadelphia trucks haven't had a host review on Food Truck Club yet, so a missing rating says little about the truck. Every one of them was reviewed and approved by our team before it could take bookings, and each carries its own health permit and liability insurance; a certificate of insurance is available on request.
Judge it on its menu, its per-serving price and minimum, and any past events on its profile. Every booking is covered by our Satisfaction Guarantee.
- How many trucks does a Philadelphia event need?
One truck serves up to about 150 guests in a normal service window. Bigger groups book two or more, which also shortens lines and adds a second cuisine, such as a cheesesteak or barbecue truck paired with water ice or ice cream.
Each truck keeps its own minimum, and you get one invoice for the event however many trucks you book.
