Fueling Ann Arbor’s Small-Business Scene
Every time you book American Bistro food truck catering in Ann Arbor, you’re doing more than feeding a hungry crowd—you’re investing in the city’s independent makers. Most of the trucks on our Best Food Trucks roster are one-truck operations run by U-M alumni, longtime Ann Arbor families, or chefs who got their start at the Kerrytown Farmers Market. Your catering dollars stay right here in Washtenaw County, paying local staff, renting local commissary kitchens, and sourcing produce from Michigan growers.
Food trucks are also a smarter, greener choice. A single mobile kitchen parked at your office on South State or your picnic shelter at Gallup Park uses far less power and water than a traditional banquet setup—and because guests order digitally and pick up on demand, we slash disposable-chafing-dish waste, too. That means your next American Bistro feast can taste amazing and tread lightly on the Huron River watershed.
So when you type “American bistro food trucks near me in Ann Arbor,” choose the option that supports local entrepreneurs, shrinks your carbon footprint, and still delivers melt-in-your-mouth brisket and elevated comfort food. Click “Book Now,” and let’s keep Ann Arbor’s small-business engine—and your guests—well fed.

I really liked Max’s hot chicken. I got the gyro plate and it was great quantity. The only thing I didn’t enjoy as much was that the meat was too salty.

The nachos had great flavor but the beef and chicken could have been hotter. The meat was a little cold but overall, I would definitely get the nachos again.

Luis of Senor Wooffle was terrific to work with. He was able to make some menu modifications that we needed. This is the first time we have used a Food Truck and were so pleased. BTW - his root beer floats were fabulous!

Finally an amazing burger food truck. The loaded fries are one of the best things I ever tasted. The quality of the meat in the burger was second to none.
