Food Truck Catering
Catering in Forest Acres, SC
Forest Acres sits tucked inside the Columbia metro with a character all its own — tree-lined streets, tight-knit neighborhoods, and a civic life that likes to gather outside when the weather allows, which in South Carolina's humid subtropical climate means you'd better have something worth standing in the heat for. Real pit-smoked barbecue is exactly that something. Smokin Zo's brings the low-and-slow tradition to this community: brisket held at temperature until the bark sets deep, ribs that pull clean from the bone, pulled pork with smoke threaded all the way through.

Venues & Event Locations
The open grounds of Gills Creek Memorial Park have a way of making even a weekday feel worth celebrating, and Smokin Zo's smoked brisket and pulled pork only deepen that sense of occasion. Benedict College Community Park draws a bigger crowd with bigger expectations, and the BBQ truck meets both. Over at Heathwood Park, a smaller neighborhood gathering becomes something memorable when the smoke is rolling, and the team at Fort Jackson Fire Department knows the difference between food that fills a plate and food that actually delivers — Smokin Zo's is firmly in the latter category.
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 Forest Acres.
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.
