We also want to serve as a resource for you, but not just for new Toyotas, used cars, and car care questions. Check out this guide to the best food trucks near you in Central Florida when it comes to southern food.

Five southern food trucks in Orlando you don’t want to miss

Mama’s Fixins: This soulfood and barbecue food truck near you is definitely worth dropping some money on. Their menu is straight southern with options like BBQ ribs, fried chicken, fried fish, mac n cheese, cole slaw, fried okra, and sweet potato casserole. If you have room, finish things off with old-fashioned banana pudding and wash it down with Mama’s Pineapple Lemonade – you won’t regret it. Mama’s Fixins started out as a good delivery service in downtown Orlando and evolved from there; they’ve been in business for more than 10 years and also offer catering services.

Bell’s Kitchen and Smokehouse: Bell’s actually kicked off their career in Long Island, NY but made their way to Orlando to find major success. They specialize in Carolina-style barbecue and their menu includes delicious dishes like frog legs, alligator popcorn, BBQ sliders, creole sausage po boys, crawfish mac, and Carolina slaw. It doesn’t get much more southern than that. They also cater and can handle your next event with ease.

Phatty Chow: This food truck near you specializes in New Orleans-style brunch food, so you can expect to curb your hunger with dishes like fried lobster, brioche french toast, fried chicken, and more. They also specialize in event catering for your next big brunch, and you can book them for a private chef experience in your home for your next dinner party. Don’t miss out on their unique cuisine!

Mimi’s Kitchen: Their headline reads “We are a family and butter-loving food truck out of Orlando, Florida!” so you should know what to expect when you head over to this food truck. Their menu offers dishes like beef brisket, pork, barbecue chicken, and ribs, as well as baked beans, cole slaw, and cheese potatoes. Wash it all down with sweet tea and ask about their southern desserts before you head home!
