Top food trucks in Columbus

Columbus enjoys a reputation for some of the best street food in the Midwest, and chances are, you're not far from it during your visit. You'll find Columbus food trucks rolling your way whether you're visiting the Ohio State University campus or going to an event downtown. While there's no way to taste all the treats that rumble through the city, here are a few you shouldn't miss.

After-hours Pizza Craving: Mikey's Late Night Slice

When you’re enjoying the late night scene downtown and have a hankering for pizza, look for similarly minded folks lined up outside large black trucks. The PizzAssault Trucks roll out from Mikey’s Late Night Slice  with four kinds of pizza sure to soothe that midnight craving. Try the Spicy Pepperoni—it’s a combo of Sriracha sauce and banana peppers that’s sure to spice things up.

Hand-Held Grub: Cupzilla Korean BBq

Experience Korean barbecue in a handy cup at the Cupzilla Korean BBQ truck . Korean-style barbecue chicken nestles into rice and veggies. There’s also beef and pork varieties, pot stickers and spring rolls. Feel like mixing it up? Opt for a combo cup and get two meats or a meat and a side. Look for Cupzilla’s lunch and dinner locations on a food truck locator website or app.

The Pit is It: Ray Ray’s Hog Pit

Savor meats slow cooked over oak and hickory harvested from local forests at Ray Ray’s Hog Pit. The meats are local too—enjoy jerk chicken, beef brisket, pulled pork, pork chops and ribs. The truck shares space with Ace of Cups where you can pull up a bar stool and wash down your barbecue with a brew or boilermaker. You’ll want more of this lip-smacking barbecue for a late-night snack, so buy a pound or two to go.

Chicken Made From Scratch: Mya’s

Sink your teeth into juicy fried chicken coated with a crispy-tender crust at Mya’s. Go online to find the location of the big white truck with the picture of a chicken on it—and bring your appetite. Sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken spends a full day bathing in buttermilk before it's coated with herb-infused flour and fried in shallow pan. The finishing touch is a drizzle of honey infused with herbs, chilies and vinegar.

The Big Cheese: Timmy’s Meltdown

When only comfort food will do, turn to Timmy’s Meltdown. Check out Timmy’s website to locate the cheerful yellow truck. Grilled cheese is the star of the show. Get it with choices that include Swiss, pepper jack, Mozzarella, cheddar or classic American. Top it with tomato, egg, ham or other ingredients and slather it in artisan sauces. Pair it with a bowl of creamy tomato soup or Timmy’s soup of the day.
