Keep Central Pennsylvania Cooking – Support Small Businesses
Booking an American Bistro food truck isn’t just a smart way to feed a crowd—it also keeps dollars circulating right here in Central Pennsylvania. Every truck you reserve through Best Food Trucks is a neighbor’s dream on wheels: family-owned rigs from Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, and State College that buy their beef from local farms, sponsor area Little League teams, and hire graduates from our very own culinary schools.
Mobile kitchens are greener, too. A self-contained truck parked on City Island or along Carlisle Pike uses a fraction of the electricity and water a banquet hall burns through, and it hauls away its own trash—no mountains of aluminum trays or Sterno cans left behind. Your Susquehanna Riverfront wedding or Penn State tailgate can serve scratch-made burgers on Amish-baked pretzel rolls without leaving a carbon crater.
So the next time you search “American Bistro food trucks near me,” choose the Central Pennsylvania pros at Best Food Trucks. You’ll get crave-worthy food, boost a local entrepreneur, and do the planet a favor—all with one click.

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard

The food was good but I ordered green beans and got Mac and cheese which I don't eat. Otherwise, your score would be a 5
