Fueling Des Moines Studios—and the Local Economy
Booking a food truck for your Des Moines studio set isn’t just the tastiest call sheet item—it’s an investment in the community. Nearly every truck that rolls up to your lot is owned by a family from Beaverdale, a pair of friends from Drake University, or a solo chef who cut their chops at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Your catering dollars stay right here in Polk County, creating jobs and keeping our creative scene thriving.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart alternative to traditional craft services. Modern rigs run on energy-efficient equipment, prep to order, and serve in compostable or recyclable packaging—no giant chafing dishes or mountains of plastic wrap cluttering the set. That means fewer trash runs on Grand Avenue and more time capturing that perfect golden-hour shot on Fleur Drive.
So the next time your production manager types “low-budget film catering near me” or “studio food truck catering Des Moines” into a search bar, remember Best Food Trucks. We’ll line up the city’s favorite mobile kitchens, keep your crew fed, and give you one more reason to say, “That’s a wrap!”

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.

Nothing specific, my wife just thought the Sonora steak tacos were ok but nothing special. My 3 mahi mahi tacos tasted great but were cold and I had to heat them in the microwave.

First experience. All was pretty good. Burger was well seasoned, bacon was good. Could have used a bit more of the signature sauce. All in all a good experience
