Kalamazoo’s Choice for American Comfort Food Truck Catering
Few things warm the soul during a lake-effect winter or a Friday night at Bronson Park quite like scratch-made comfort food. When you order American comfort food truck catering in Kalamazoo, you don’t have to settle for heat-lamp trays and dried-out entrees. Your guests deserve mac-and-cheese that’s still creamy, pulled pork that’s just been sliced, and hand-cut fries dusted with salt the second they leave the fryer.
With Best Food Trucks, every dish comes straight from an inspected rolling kitchen, cooked to order by local favorites such as Lazy Man BBQ, Top Chelf Catering, The Rolling Soul, Ibison Concessions, and Catering By Roxie’s. From a graduation celebration for your WMU Bronco to a Bell’s Brewery corporate outing, our American comfort food trucks serve Kalamazoo classics exactly when they’re ordered.
We even eliminate those long festival-style lines. Best Food Trucks’ advanced ordering system sends a text the moment a guest’s meal is ready, giving everyone more time to enjoy the Kalamazoo Mall, mingle at Arcadia Creek, or dance at the next Kalamazoo Ribfest.

How Best Food Trucks Fuel Kalamazoo’s Small-Business Scene
Booking an American comfort food truck through Best Food Trucks does more than keep your guests happy—it keeps Kalamazoo’s economy humming. Every slider, smoked rib, and loaded fry is prepared by hard-working solo entrepreneurs and family-run operations based right here in Southwest Michigan. From the Edison neighborhood to Westnedge Hill, these rolling kitchens reinvest their earnings locally, hiring K-College students, sourcing produce from the Texas Township farmers market, and buying supplies at Kalamazoo-owned distributors.
Food trucks are also a greener choice for catering in Kalamazoo. Their compact kitchens sip far less energy than a conventional banquet hall and generate minimal waste, thanks to streamlined menus and compostable servingware. That means your WMU tailgate, downtown street party, or corporate lunch on Portage Road can taste amazing while leaving a lighter footprint on the shores of the Kalamazoo River.

Had the buffalo lemon pepper tenders with fries. Fries were spot on. Hot and fresh. Seasoned nicely. Tenders were not hot. A little heavy on the batter and needed more sauce and lemon pepper. Flavor was fantastic. Just needed a bit more and to be hot and fresh.
