One of the best food trucks in Lancaster, PA

Everyone in PA loves a (real) Philly cheesesteak. But what they don’t love is the traffic on 76 to go get one. This is what sparked the idea for our one-of-a-kind towable, custom stainless steel cheesesteak grill. That original rendition has evolved into a full-on, high-end catering service on wheels.

Today, our clients and guests vote us one of the best food trucks in Lancaster, PA because of these factors:

Fresh, Quality Ingredients: We know that in Lancaster, you’re the experts in fresh, farm-grown eats. And we take that seriously. We hand-select every ingredient that goes onto our guests’ plates with a critical eye for how and where it’s made. Ultimate quality, guaranteed!

All-Inclusive Service: Delectable dishes, local craft beer, and excellent service, all from one company. You can count on us to set up, clean, and bring everything you need right to your venue’s doorstep, so you can relax and enjoy the party.

Philly Food Culture on a Plate: We take food culture seriously, and we know our guests do too. That’s why our menus weave together all the local Philly favorites like cheesesteaks, Hess chips, Federal soft pretzels, and of course, Tastykakes for dessert.

Tell us about your event and we’ll roam over with the goods.

🐄 Great Steaks

All variations and menus are for you to experience.

🥗 Salads + Sides

Remember, we can bring the brews, too

Our partner, Sly Fox Brewing of Pottstown, crafts some of the best local beer in Pennsylvania, and it’s an honor to serve up their brews.

As mentioned, every The Lost Cow food truck has four taps to pour directly from the side of the truck, which is not only a cool visual that people typically haven’t seen before, but it also makes for ice-cold beer, which is sometimes hard at an event you plan yourself!

Choose from one of our three beer packages serving up a variety of Sly Fox brews, from their Helles Golden Lager to the beloved Haze Fix Hazy IPA to seasonal options like Alex’s Lemon Wheat Ale or Oktoberfest. From there, we’ll make sure you and your guests are happily toasting to the occasion.

Adding this is a fun favorite for all our couples who do wedding catering in Lancaster, PA.
