Supporting Minneapolis Small Businesses
When you book an American Bistro food truck through Best Food Trucks, you’re doing a whole lot more than serving incredible meals at your event—you’re reinvesting in the Minneapolis community. Every burger flipped and every hand-cut fry served keeps dollars right here in the Twin Cities, fueling solo entrepreneurs and family-run operations from Powderhorn Park to Camden.
Most of our Minneapolis food truck partners source brioche buns from local bakeries, cheese curds from creameries up in Stearns County, and produce straight from Mill City Farmers Market. That local supply chain means a stronger neighborhood economy and fresher flavors on your plate. It’s Minnesota Nice, served hot.
Choosing an American Bistro food truck is also an eco-friendly catering move. Modern rigs run high-efficiency equipment, and many trucks—like those parked weekly at Surly Brewing—cook with renewable energy and compost all food scraps through the city’s organics program. Compared with traditional chafing-dish buffets, you’ll cut down on single-use plastics and wasted steam-table fuel.
So the next time you’re Googling “American Bistro food trucks near me” for a gathering in Northeast, a client lunch in the IDS Center, or a graduation picnic at Minnehaha Falls, reach out to Best Food Trucks. You’ll get crowd-pleasing American classics, support Minneapolis small businesses, and keep your event green—all in one delicious bite.

We had a great experience with the Sizzling Wagon! The food was fresh, tasty, and they made accommodations for special diet restrictions. Service was awesome, and everything ran smoothly. Our team really enjoyed it—we’d be happy to have them back again!

All the employees were mostly happy with the meal. a few things that were said is that for the pulled pork they would of liked more meat on the sandwich. Also it was stated that the brownies were homemade, in which they were not. Over all it was a good experience.

I heard the food truck food was delicious and they were very efficient on getting people through the line. Thank you! I was glad to I was able to talk to the food truck driver prior to the event to ensure the food that was coming and that there would be options. I started to wonder if the whole process of finding the truck was a scam.. so glad I was able to connect with a person to ask questions. Everyone indicated it was very good and our event was a success! Thank you! Pam Hoffdahl Neogen Oakdale, MN

I would have preferred the fries would have been separated to later add the rest. But that's just my preference. The spring rolls and sauce were fire!! So good
