Food Truck Catering
Catering in Florence, SC
Smoke rises slowly over Florence the same way the morning light crawls across the Pee Dee — unhurried, deliberate, like the place itself knows something about patience. This is a city that has always understood the value of time: time to build, time to remember, time to let a brisket reach its full potential. Smokin Zo's brings that same low-and-slow devotion to the streets of Florence, where the bark is dark, the smoke ring runs deep, and every plate is worth the wait.

What We Cater in Florence, SC
Florence has spent decades growing into itself — a railroad junction town that became a regional hub, a place where industry and community learned to coexist with genuine warmth. That backyard-cookout spirit lives in the DNA here, and BBQ fits this city the way a well-worn cast iron fits a fire pit: naturally, completely, without apology. Humid subtropical summers and cool, mild winters mean the smoke smells right in any season, and Florence's people have never needed much convincing that a proper meal should take its time.

Venues & Event Locations
On game days at Carolina Bank Field, the crowd arrives early and hungry, and the smell of smoked ribs drifting across the parking lot has become part of the ritual. Francis Marion University draws students and faculty who know the difference between fast food and food worth standing in line for, and Smokin Zo's has become a presence they look forward to. When the workday winds down near the Florence County Courthouse, there is something satisfying about pulling pork off the bone in the shadow of a building that has witnessed the city's long, slow becoming.
South Carolina has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any South Carolina jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Florence.
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.

Kaleb
Food Truck Booking Agent
Detail-oriented booking support shaped by real truck and catering experience.
Backup planning is where Kaleb earns his keep — when a contractor's wheel bearing gave out en route to an event, he had a replacement smoked-meats truck on site in under 20 minutes, no dropped service. That instinct for fast, calm coordination is the same thing that let him shift a 200-guest wedding from buffet to BBQ truck service on just 30 minutes' notice. Before he'll put his name behind a truck for your event, he checks current fire extinguishers, valid health and fire licenses, and coolers that are labeled and organized, because generous portions and bold flavor only matter if the setup behind them holds up.
- Hands-on experience across 12 trucks and catering companies
- Strong on organization, communication, and execution
Kaleb will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
