Fueling Detroit’s Small Businesses
Every time you roll up an American Bistro food truck for your event in Detroit, you’re doing more than feeding guests—you’re pumping dollars straight back into the Motor City. Most of our trucks are owned by east-side grill masters, west-side bakers, and culinary dreamers who graduated from Eastern Market pop-ups to four wheels and a flat-top. Booking them keeps family-run kitchens busy, supports Black- and women-owned enterprises from Corktown to Hamtramck, and helps Detroit’s small-business engine keep humming.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart choice for catering.

Food is always excellent! Service is wonderful! The Rollin Recipe is my favorite and if they are at my spot I always get my lunch there. Miss seeing Chef Dre.

Been getting food at this truck a while. I dont like the new packaging they use for the orders. The food quantity felt much smaller than usual and the sauce content was minimal. I cant in good faith give this experience a 5 but I love this truck and have been coming here every time they come by for years while purposely hunting them down at the other places they station at. Still good food I just expected better.

Our burgers and fries were delicious! We don't usually do fast food or food trucks. The food was hot with fresh ingredients on the hamburger. Our fries had a hint of salt which was perfect for us. The staff was also very friendly (even though there was a line). Thank you.

Oh my goodness! These have to be the sandwich. Best sandwiches we have ever had. Your toasted buns are phenomenal and you don’t skimp on the filling!!! Your chicken is so tender, and we loved the Reuben too. Looking forward to you coming back to Raintree again.

The flavor of the fries & corn dog were great & the fried cookie dough was a nice treat to have accessible given you typically only get the luxury of fair food at the fair. It's nice to have the option for fair food so easily accessible! Look forward to ordering again!
