- How far in advance should I book the food truck?
- We recommend booking Harold Dean SmokeWagon at least 2-4 weeks before your event date. Food trucks in Dallas book quickly during peak seasons (Spring and Fall), so earlier is always better. For large corporate events with 100+ guests, 30 days advance notice ensures menu availability and proper staffing.
- What types of events do you cater?
- Harold Dean SmokeWagon caters corporate lunches, office parties, employee appreciation events, team building gatherings, company picnics, community festivals, university events, government functions, holiday parties, and private celebrations throughout Dallas and surrounding areas.
- Is there a minimum order or guest count?
- Yes, Harold Dean SmokeWagon has a minimum order of $625.00. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing, travel to your Dallas location, and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider our attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.

- No utilities required. Harold Dean SmokeWagon is completely self-sufficient with onboard generators, water tanks, and cooking equipment. Simply provide a flat, accessible parking spot (approximately 12x30 feet) and we handle everything else. This makes food truck catering ideal for outdoor venues, parking lots, parks, and locations without kitchen facilities.
