Craving something handheld? Byrne’s Grilled Pizza fires up gourmet pies that rival anything you’ll find at an Indians game in Victory Field.

Keeping Indy’s Small Businesses Rolling

Every time you book American Bistro food truck catering in Indianapolis, you inject real dollars back into the Circle City. Most of the trucks we work with are run by Hoosier-born solo owners—husband-and-wife teams from Irvington, childhood friends from Garfield Park, or veterans who grew up tailgating at the Indy 500. Your lunch budget helps them pay their staff, source produce from Indiana farms, and keep those shiny rigs cruising down I-70 instead of sitting in a commissary kitchen.

Choosing a food truck over a traditional drop-off buffet does more than boost the local economy; it’s greener too. American Bistro food trucks sip electricity, compost kitchen scraps, and serve with recyclable packaging—meaning less trash in our beautiful White River. You’ll taste the difference, and Mother Nature will feel it.

So the next time you catch yourself Googling “American bistro food trucks near me in Indianapolis,” remember that Best Food Trucks connects you with the very Indy entrepreneurs who make our city’s dining scene special. Book a truck, feed your crowd, and keep Indianapolis small businesses—and appetites—thriving.

Food was great and she was very pleasant. She was by herself when I went down there but she had a great system and stayed positive during a hectic time. I loved being able to pre-order and that they texted me when my food was ready.

Tasty sandwich and soup. I pre ordered and received an email they would try to accommodate my scheduled pickup and was expecting a text when the order was ready but didn’t receive one. Upon going to the truck my order was handed to me immediately however.

How does food truck catering work with Best Food Trucks?
With Best Food Trucks, you choose the budget for your event and provide details like, time, date, how many diners and what type of party you're throwing. Best Food Trucks will send out your request to regional food trucks who will submit a proposal based on your budget.
How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?
You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.

Are there different budgets for each food truck proposal?
No. Each proposal will be for the budget you've chosen. If you have a budget of $2000, we'll only send you proposals for your budget of $2000.
What are the menu choices for my food truck event budget?

Food trucks that can serve fast and serve a cuisine that can easily be eaten while standing without having to use utensils, typically work for a party atmosphere.
Are food trucks cheaper than catering?
Food trucks can be cheaper depending on the menu. However, the prices can vary considerably. Food trucks typically need a bit more staff and are bringing a full service kitchen to your event so they have additional costs which can impact the overall cost.
