Fueling Des Moines’ Small Businesses
Booking food truck catering for your Des Moines studio shoot does more than fill empty stomachs—it keeps money circulating right here in the Metro. Most DSM trucks are run by Drake grads, Valley Junction families, or longtime 515 service-industry pros chasing their culinary dream on wheels. Every taco, poke bowl, or smash burger you order helps a local owner pay staff, buy Iowa-grown produce, and keep their rig rolling from Ingersoll to Ankeny.
Food trucks also score high marks with eco-conscious producers. They require less power than a traditional buffet setup, arrive with reusable prep tools, and hand out meals in compostable packaging approved by Des Moines’ Waste Smart program. Fewer chafing dishes, less food waste, happier planet.
So the next time your production manager types “studio food truck catering Des Moines” or “low-budget film catering near me,” skip the bland box lunches and call Best Food Trucks. You’ll serve crowd-pleasing eats, cut your carbon footprint, and give a boost to the small businesses that make #DSMUSA delicious.

The brisket was excellent. I was disappointed that the Mac n cheese that I ordered was out but was pleased with the fries. They were hot and fresh.

The food was very good. The food truck staff were super kind and did their best to keep up with the inundation of orders. The BFT app told me that my order was ready; however, I had to wait at the truck (with many other customers) for well over an hour for my order. The communication dependability between BFT and the customer needs to improve drastically.

They forgot to put the nacho toppings on top of the chips for my dad so he had to go back so he wasn't just eating plain chips when steak nachos were ordered. The quesabirria though was very tasty!
