Hot, Customizable Meals Delivered Right to Your Des Moines Studio
Whether you’re shooting a commercial near the Pappajohn Sculpture Park or wrapping a late-night scene inside a warehouse in the Historic East Village, Best Food Trucks is Des Moines’ one-stop solution for studio food truck catering. We’ve spent years feeding film and TV crews, so we know how important it is to keep cameras rolling and bellies full. Our team will create rotating daily menus, pick the perfect curb-side service spot—yes, even in the tricky Court Avenue District—and streamline ordering and pickup so cast and crew breeze through meal breaks.
Every vendor we bring on set is fully vetted for City of Des Moines permits and insurance. You’ll receive a detailed cost analysis that keeps your production accountant smiling, plus the sustainable bonus of lower food and packaging waste compared to traditional craft services.
Craving bold Mexican flavors? Roll up Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza to your soundstage for street-style tacos that keep the crew energized between takes. Need a plant-powered comfort option for the vegan lead actor? Veggie Thumper dishes out Midwest-inspired fare everyone can enjoy.
From sunrise shoots by the Des Moines River to overnight set builds out by Jordan Creek, let Best Food Trucks handle the food while you focus on creating movie magic. Studio food truck catering in Des Moines has never been this easy—or this delicious.
Fueling Your Shoot While Fueling Des Moines’ Small Businesses
Every time you book studio food truck catering in Des Moines, you pump life back into the 515’s entrepreneurial scene. Most of the trucks that pull up to your set are family-run operations that got their start at the Downtown Farmers’ Market or along University Avenue outside Drake. Your craft-services dollars stay right here—supporting local suppliers from Mingo Beef to Donut King bakery—so our city keeps creating the next generation of culinary stars.
Food trucks also check the “green set” box. By cooking to order in energy-efficient mobile kitchens and serving with compostable ware that meets Metro Waste Authority guidelines, our vendors cut down on the excess pans, power, and plastic that plague traditional buffet catering. Less waste means fewer trash runs and more time rolling camera.
So the next time your producer whispers “find low-budget film catering near me,” remember that Best Food Trucks links Des Moines studios to locally owned, eco-smart trucks in minutes. Give the crew incredible meals, keep the accountants happy, and champion the small businesses that make DSM taste so good.

This was my first time looking into getting a food truck on site to feed our employees. You guys made it very easy and so did Paul, with Doc E's BBQ! The food was delicious and everyone I talked to say the same! The portions were perfect and was a very easy process. I had the pulled pork with slaw on top for my first plate and then later on Paul gave us a pan of ribs that were phenomenal!

I love grilled cheeserie, but tonight my sourdough bread was burnt, not just grilled. I do like the truck and would like it to come back.

The sausage was good and had the right amount for the size of the pizza and the crust was soft with a layer of crispy. Overall.....delicious!

Loved the fresh crispy fries. The heat on the Spicy Burger was well balanced flavor and not just hot.

Way better than I was expecting. I'm not a fan of tater tots and like these very much. The Big Piggy is where it shined though. Wasn't dried out just , just the right portion size where you get your moneys worth.

We had an amazing experience with Brooklyn Burger! From start to finish, everything was seamless. The food truck arrived right on time, was extremely clean and well organized, and the staff was incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. Most importantly, the food was AMAZING! Everything was fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with our team. I would absolutely recommend Brooklyn Burger to anyone looking for a food truck for an event. Great food, great service, and an overall wonderful experience. We will definitely be using them again!

This was restaurant-quality Irish dishes brought right to our doorstep. I need this truck on regular rotation! I'm not sure there is a local Irish restaurant that has food this good and with quality-fresh ingredients! The corned beef was so tender and beautifully seasoned. The sauces were delicious and complemented the sandwich perfectly. Love the fresh-cut fries and the lightly breaded pollock! Can't wait till they return!
