Fueling Ann Arbor’s Small-Business Scene
Every time you book American Bistro food truck catering in Ann Arbor, you’re doing more than feeding a hungry crowd—you’re investing in the city’s independent makers. Most of the trucks on our Best Food Trucks roster are one-truck operations run by U-M alumni, longtime Ann Arbor families, or chefs who got their start at the Kerrytown Farmers Market. Your catering dollars stay right here in Washtenaw County, paying local staff, renting local commissary kitchens, and sourcing produce from Michigan growers.
Food trucks are also a smarter, greener choice. A single mobile kitchen parked at your office on South State or your picnic shelter at Gallup Park uses far less power and water than a traditional banquet setup—and because guests order digitally and pick up on demand, we slash disposable-chafing-dish waste, too. That means your next American Bistro feast can taste amazing and tread lightly on the Huron River watershed.
So when you type “American bistro food trucks near me in Ann Arbor,” choose the option that supports local entrepreneurs, shrinks your carbon footprint, and still delivers melt-in-your-mouth brisket and elevated comfort food. Click “Book Now,” and let’s keep Ann Arbor’s small-business engine—and your guests—well fed.

Food is 10/10. I look forward to ordering every time it's by the office. The staff working the truck are so kind too.

The crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)

The staff running the truck was amazing.. We had a lot of people bombard the truck after my mother’s services and they got people food quickly. They had their serving down. We would definitely hire them again.

Nashville bourbon cheesesteak.. delicious only suggestion to put queso sauce in a separate container so the bread won't get soggy.

. The boneless wings and fries were really good but the kids burger barely had a meat patty on it. It was almost eating just bread. I know it's a kids burger but it still costs like 9 dollars.

Abundance of delicious tasting food. Steak sandwich and bratwurst cheese dinner. Please bring them back!

- 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.
