Food Trucks in Somerset, Kentucky

Somerset has a small but active food truck scene that has grown steadily over the past few years. You'll find Kentucky BBQ and smoked meats, tacos and Latin street food, loaded mac and potatoes, Asian dishes, ice cream, and classic concession favorites all in regular rotation.

The most reliable lunch spot is Judicial Center Plaza downtown, where a rotating lineup of trucks sets up on weekdays. Weekends bring trucks to Fountain Square and the surrounding blocks of East Mt. Vernon Street, and Jarfly Brewing Company regularly hosts trucks on-site for dinner crowds. Activity picks up sharply from Memorial Day through Labor Day, when Lake Cumberland tourism brings extra foot traffic to Burnside and the marinas.

Somerset's calendar also pulls trucks in for bigger events. Foodstock takes over Fountain Square each spring, the Master Musicians Festival fills Somerset Community College's Festival Field with a full vendor row each July, and Thunder Over Burnside draws trucks to the lake on Labor Day weekend.

Hours and locations shift truck to truck. Some run weekday lunch only, others chase festivals and brewery nights, and a few work private events you wouldn't find otherwise. That's where StreetFeast comes in. The app shows you which trucks in Somerset are open right now, where they're parked, and where they're heading next. Download today!
