About Uncle Louie G’s

Authentic Italian ice is a gourmet dessert crafted by churning real fruit, water, and sugar together in a process similar to making ice cream. This slow-churning process produces a smooth, creamy, sorbet-like consistency where the flavor is frozen directly into the crystals. makes you grin is the thing people come back for. I run a little Uncle Louie G’s trailer serving Italian ice and scooped ice cream, with vegan and dairy-free non-dairy options and gluten-free choices on the menu. We do classic cups, cones, pints, and a few novelty items you’ve probably seen around events. It’s honest, handheld dessert, simple to order and easy to enjoy. We’re a veteran owned and minority owned operation doing on-site service for parties and events. Lines can get long at summer fundraisers and block parties, but we move quick and try to keep things fun. Folks mention the variety of vegan and sugar-free options when they come back. I keep the menu straightforward so people know what they’re getting and can find something for kids, for folks avoiding dairy, or for someone wanting a nostalgic scoop. If you need someone to show up and serve Italian ice and ice cream at your event, we can do that. Based in Houston, 77007.

Derek Bowens

Owner, Uncle Louie G’s

The first night I pulled the truck into a neighborhood lot and watched a line form in the heat I felt something click, people clutching cash and grinning like it was a holiday. I opened my first truck in 2017 after 14 years in the military and 17 years as a flight attendant, careers that taught me discipline, attention to detail, and how to read a room. Running Uncle Louie G’s in Houston and surrounding areas , has taught me patience and that small choices matter more than big gestures. We’ve had the chance to serve at big city moments like the Super Bowl and the World Series, but what keeps me going is taking care of the crew and showing up every night ready to work. I keep things simple, steady, and human.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

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 Houston, so booking early gives you the best selection.

What is included in the catering price?
Your quote from Uncle Louie G’s includes food preparation, serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), the truck's staff, and setup and breakdown. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is; the truck will let you know if one applies. The per-serving prices on this page already include Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book Uncle Louie G’s?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in Houston 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 Uncle Louie G’s cater?
Uncle Louie G’s 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 Houston are all bookable from this page.
Where does Uncle Louie G’s serve?
Uncle Louie G’s is based in Houston, TX and takes bookings across Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Matagorda, Walker, Waller and Wharton 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?
Uncle Louie G’s lists vegan options, gluten-free options and dairy-free options on its profile. Include a count for each in your booking request so the truck preps enough, and flag any allergies at the same time.
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. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Uncle Louie G’s will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
