Food Truck Catering
Catering in Blacksburg, VA
Walk through Blacksburg on a Thursday evening and you'll find the usual mix of students, faculty, families, and the kind of outdoors people who treat the New River Valley like a backyard. What they share, across all those different days and contexts, is an appetite for food that was made with actual care. That's the promise behind every Smokin Zo's service — smoke, patience, and BBQ worth gathering around.

What We Cater in Blacksburg, VA
BBQ fits Blacksburg because Blacksburg already knows how to slow down when it matters. The same town that debates ideas seriously and spends weekends on mountain trails is going to respect a brisket that spent fourteen hours in a smoker. Smokin Zo's brings backyard-cookout warmth to a community that's been primed for it — hearty, unpretentious, and genuinely satisfying.

Venues & Event Locations
On a crisp fall afternoon, Lane Stadium draws tens of thousands of Hokies, and the appetite that comes with that crowd is real and serious — Smokin Zo's is equipped for that scale. Across town, the trail crowd winding through Shenandoah Bike Trail and Park tends to finish a ride hungry in a way that politely skips salads entirely, which is where a rack of ribs earns its keep. On a quieter midweek afternoon, a corporate lunch near the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences Building calls for the same careful craft — just a smaller, more deliberate crowd.
Under HB 1625 (effective July 1, 2017), Virginia has health and fire reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or fire inspection issued by any Virginia jurisdiction is accepted statewide.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the Town of Blacksburg.
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.

Stephen
Food Truck Booking Agent
Stephen came up cooking, driving, and prepping across more than a dozen food trucks before stepping into a 12-truck network leadership role, the kind of background that shapes how he plans BBQ service today. He's prepped over 3,000 meals in a single day for corporate crowds of 1,000 or more and once pulled together a full event from scratch within an hour of the request. His planning advice stays simple: two entrées on the menu keeps the smoky flavor strong and the line moving.
Stephen will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
