Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio Crew!
Whether you’re filming a commercial along the Des Moines River or shooting the next indie hit near the Pappajohn Sculpture Park, Best Food Trucks delivers the fastest, most reliable food truck catering for studio productions in Des Moines. Our team has spent years feeding film and TV crews, so we understand the tight call sheets, last-minute schedule changes, and the need for meals that keep cast and crew energized.
We’ll work side-by-side with your production office to craft rotating daily menus, determine the most convenient serving locations—be it a downtown soundstage or a backlot in the East Village—streamline online ordering and pickup, and verify that every vendor carries the proper City of Des Moines permits and insurance. You’ll also receive a clear cost analysis, so your accounting department can stay on budget without the guesswork.
Craving authentic local flavor? Treat your crew to sizzling Mexican plates from Des Moines favorites like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza. Want a plant-forward option for your vegan stars? Veggie Thumper has you covered with fresh, locally sourced bowls and wraps.
Food truck catering for studios in Des Moines also helps reduce waste—no more half-eaten boxed lunches and piles of plastic. Let Best Food Trucks handle the logistics so you can focus on getting the perfect shot. When the director calls “Cut!”, hot, customizable meals will be waiting.
Supporting Des Moines Small Businesses
Booking studio food truck catering in Des Moines isn’t just a smart move for your production’s budget—it’s a huge win for local entrepreneurs. Each truck that pulls up to your set near the Iowa State Capitol or the soundstage off Fleur Drive is owned and run by a Des Moines family or solo chef who lives right here in the Metro. Your catering dollars stay in town, circulating through neighborhoods like Beaverdale, Drake, and Valley Junction and strengthening the creative heartbeat of our city.
Food trucks are also the most eco-friendly way to feed a cast and crew. Because they cook to order, there’s far less food waste than with traditional drop-off catering, and their compact kitchens draw a fraction of the energy used by brick-and-mortar kitchens. Many of our Des Moines partner trucks even source produce from the Downtown Farmers’ Market and local growers in Polk and Dallas counties, reducing food miles while giving your crew the farm-fresh flavor Iowa is famous for.
So the next time you’re googling “low-budget film catering near me” or “studio food truck catering Des Moines,” remember that Best Food Trucks can deliver mouth-watering meals and a positive community impact in one seamless package. Book a truck, feed your crew, and keep Des Moines cooking—both on set and off.

We did a pre order online and didn't know the burgers came with fries - not an issue just something that would be nice to know because we ordered additional fries then

Freshness. Crispy oinion rings and fries. Burgers were perfectly built. Only critique would be on the pricey side.

Food is 10/10. I look forward to ordering every time it's by the office. The staff working the truck are so kind too.

The crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)

The staff running the truck was amazing.. We had a lot of people bombard the truck after my mother’s services and they got people food quickly. They had their serving down. We would definitely hire them again.

We ordered the Chili Chicken Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, and an order of wings. Everything was delicious

The Buffalo Chicken Pizza was perfect and the Pepperoni with Bell Pepper was good. I personally had a problem with my veggie pizza, but it is really my fault because I guess the veggie pizza comes with Truffle Oil on it and either I didn't see that or I don't like Truffle Oil. So really the truck gets a 5.
