Catering in Asbury Park, NJ
The boardwalk crowd is already moving by nine, and by noon Asbury Park's appetite is fully awake. That's when slow-smoked brisket — the kind that took twelve hours to become what it is — makes perfect sense on a paper-lined tray in the open air. Smokin Zo's meets that appetite where it lives, bringing backyard-cookout warmth and serious smoke craft to the heart of Asbury Park.

Venues & Event Locations
Fletcher Lake Park draws the kind of afternoon where time slows down and appetite sharpens, which is precisely the right atmosphere for a properly smoked rack of ribs. The crowd at Liberty Square Park has learned that when the Smokin Zo's truck rolls in, that's the lunch plan sorted. Over at the Bungalow Hotel, guests who thought they were just checking in for the weekend find themselves in line for pulled pork before they've even unpacked — and nobody is complaining.
New Jersey does not have health or fire reciprocity — each local jurisdiction issues its own food-truck permits.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with Asbury Park City.
Smokin Zo's and our local partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.
