Baton Rouge Food Trucks
One of the most welcome additions to the food scene in recent years is the rise of the food truck.
We are long past the days of funnel cakes, cotton candy, and turkey legs being the main options for mobile eateries. A range of cuisines is now available, much of it rivaling traditional brick-and-mortar establishments. Here are some of the best Baton Rouge food trucks and their locations.

Louisiana Classics

Snoballs and Sweet Treats
Every good meal needs a sweet treat to top it off with. While some of the food trucks we've mentioned have their own tasty desserts, these food trucks specialize in sweet treats everyone will love.
Where to Find Them
Around Town
Certain areas are natural gathering places for food trucks. Downtown Baton Rouge, the LSU campus, and the Acadian Perkins Plaza Shopping Center are popular spots. Farmers markets are also prime locations, as well as local breweries like Rally Cap Brewing and Cypress Coast Brewing Co that have rotating food truck vendors.
Food Truck Events
The popularity of mobile food vendors has also generated events where you can sample to your heart’s content. Perkins Rowe hosts a Food Truck Round-Up at The Rowe, a free and open to the public food truck event that brings several local favorites and new gems to the scene for Baton Rouge to try in one place. BREC also hosts a Food Truck Frenzy, bringing the community together at one of its many parks to taste a variety of cuisines.
These gatherings are subject to change every year, so make sure you stay alert for any updates on Baton Rouge events.
