Food Truck Catering
Catering in Fort Collins, CO
Smoke drifts through Fort Collins differently than it used to — past the craft breweries that replaced old feed warehouses, past Colorado State's expanding campus, past Old Town storefronts that have cycled through a dozen identities since the city was a cattle-trading post. What hasn't changed is the appetite for something real, slow-cooked, and worth standing in line for. Smokin Zo's brings that low-and-slow BBQ tradition straight into the living pulse of this city — brisket with a proper bark, ribs that took all day to get right, pulled pork that smells like a Saturday afternoon in the best possible way.

What We Cater in Fort Collins, CO
Fort Collins runs on event energy — game days, summer festivals, outdoor gatherings that spill across parks and plazas under that wide Colorado sky. A BBQ truck fits that rhythm perfectly: hearty, shareable food that fuels a crowd without slowing it down. The semi-arid climate means more clear days than most cities get, and more clear days means more excuses to eat outside.

Venues & Event Locations
The crowd that pours out of Canvas Stadium after a CSU game wants something substantial, and Smokin Zo's is positioned to deliver it — brisket and ribs at the scale that game-day appetite demands. Leisure Park tells a different story: it's neighborhood Fort Collins, relaxed and unhurried, the kind of place where BBQ smoke draws people over before they've even decided they're hungry. And at Collindale Golf Course, a well-earned meal after a round on a classic Fort Collins course is the kind of detail that turns a good afternoon into a great one.
Under HB25-1295 (effective January 1, 2026), Colorado has health and fire reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or fire inspection issued by any Colorado jurisdiction is accepted statewide.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Fort Collins.
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.

Brandon
Senior Booking Agent
Direct, solutions-focused booking support backed by large-scale truck operations experience.
Brandon's hospitality roots go back to 2003, with early years at Red Robin and Isle of Capri in Black Hawk covering front-of-house, expediting, and banquet setup, before 12 years took him fully into food truck and catering logistics, 6 of those spent directly on trucks, smokers, and live kitchens. That background now shows up in his approach to booking BBQ service that keeps the event moving: fast response, clear partner communication, and a willingness to swap a contractor quickly if the quality, reviews, food, or presentation aren't up to standard, drawing on work supporting Amazon, Starbucks, the Denver Broncos, the Denver Nuggets, Southwest Airlines, Harvard, and Texas A&M across markets he knows best — Denver, Fort Collins, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boston, and San Francisco. His advice to hosts stays simple: a tighter menu means smoky BBQ comfort food with generous portions and bold flavor, delivered without the line ever stalling.
- Scaled operations from 1 truck to an 11-truck business
- Strong on pricing, menu consultation, and fit
Brandon will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
