When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Austin, so booking early gives you the best selection.

How far in advance should I book Buddy's BBQ & Bites?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in Austin book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Buddy's BBQ & Bites cater?
Buddy's BBQ & Bites is new to Food Truck Club, so there are no platform bookings to show yet. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around Austin are all bookable from this page.
Where does Buddy's BBQ & Bites serve?
Buddy's BBQ & Bites is based in Austin, TX and takes bookings across Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson Counties. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is, so include the full event address in your request and the truck will let you know if one applies. For a venue outside this area, the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Buddy's BBQ & Bites hasn't listed specific dietary menus, but most trucks can adapt a few items. Describe what you need, including allergies, in your booking request and the truck will confirm what it can safely prepare.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need.
