Supporting Des Moines’ Small Businesses & Green Goals
Booking studio food truck catering in Des Moines isn’t just the easiest way to keep your cast and crew happy—it’s a direct investment in the Metro’s vibrant small-business community. Most of the trucks we dispatch are owned by Drake University alumni, South Side families, or chefs who got their start at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Every taco, tenderloin, or vegan bowl you order puts real dollars back into Polk County kitchens instead of into a far-away corporate commissary.
Food trucks also check the boxes for eco-friendly production catering. Because each rig is a self-contained kitchen, they draw less power than a traditional craft-services tent and send far fewer disposable pans and chafers to the landfill. We even coordinate compostable serviceware with Metro Waste Authority guidelines to keep your set’s carbon footprint as low as the Des Moines River valley.
So the next time your production manager Googles “low-budget film catering near me” from a sound stage off Fleur Drive, send them our way. Best Food Trucks delivers socially responsible, studio-ready meals that taste as good as they feel—another reason we’re the top choice for studio food truck catering Des Moines crews trust.

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.

Flavors and freshness nail it every time! Could be a tad* less salty but honestly that's also part of the appeal. Makes for one hell of an afternoon of trying to stay away lol

They ran out of a primary protein option one hour into their 3 hour service and subbed with no contact. I would have preferred a refund. Otherwise it was good.
