What We Cater in Tompkins County, NY

The Burger Bus brings that classic satisfaction without apology: real beef, melty cheese, and a toasted bun that holds together through a whole afternoon of lawn games or a crowded outdoor concert.

Venues & Event Locations
Out near Bostwick Corners, Cornell Cooperative Extension Tompkins County anchors a calendar of community-facing events where food trucks can become part of the programming rather than an afterthought. The county also claims the Interlaken Historical Society Farmers Museum — a region-scope venue with the unhurried energy of a summer afternoon, the kind of setting where a thoughtfully grilled burger earns real appreciation. Come pool season, Horizons Swimming Pool in the South Hill area fills with the county's most reliably hungry demographic, and The Burger Bus is exactly what that crowd is looking for by noon.
New York does not have health or fire reciprocity — each local jurisdiction issues its own food-truck permits.
The Burger Bus and our local catering partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.
