Fueling Your Shoot—and Des Moines’ Small Businesses

Booking a food truck for your studio catering in Des Moines does more than keep the crew happy between takes—it pours money right back into our city’s vibrant small-business scene. Every truck that rolls up to your set near the East Village murals or the Historic Valley Junction soundstage is usually owned by a local family that got its start at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Your catering dollars help those entrepreneurs grow, hire, and stick around for the next production that hits town.

Food truck kitchens are also surprisingly green—perfect for eco-conscious directors watching both the budget and the planet. Compared with traditional buffet setups, trucks draw less energy, rely on exact-portion cooking, and cut down on disposable chafing pans and plastic. That means fewer trash runs, less food waste, and a lighter footprint on our beautiful Raccoon River watershed.

So the next time you’re Googling “low-budget film catering Des Moines,” skip the soggy sub tray and let Best Food Trucks match you with a locally owned rig that serves fresh, Iowa-grown flavors. Great food, a stronger Des Moines economy, and a greener set—now that’s a wrap!

This was my first time looking into getting a food truck on site to feed our employees. You guys made it very easy and so did Paul, with Doc E's BBQ! The food was delicious and everyone I talked to say the same! The portions were perfect and was a very easy process. I had the pulled pork with slaw on top for my first plate and then later on Paul gave us a pan of ribs that were phenomenal!

We had an amazing experience with Brooklyn Burger! From start to finish, everything was seamless. The food truck arrived right on time, was extremely clean and well organized, and the staff was incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. Most importantly, the food was AMAZING! Everything was fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with our team. I would absolutely recommend Brooklyn Burger to anyone looking for a food truck for an event. Great food, great service, and an overall wonderful experience. We will definitely be using them again!

This was restaurant-quality Irish dishes brought right to our doorstep. I need this truck on regular rotation! I'm not sure there is a local Irish restaurant that has food this good and with quality-fresh ingredients! The corned beef was so tender and beautifully seasoned. The sauces were delicious and complemented the sandwich perfectly. Love the fresh-cut fries and the lightly breaded pollock! Can't wait till they return!

The wonton chicken tacos are ridiculously delicious. Never had it before but just the thought of the description sold me.

It's just a good sandwich!!! First time eating at this food truck. Got the Chicken Club Melt and the chicken was cooked well, but the garlic aioli really made it! I want to try some other sandwiches🙌��

Food is always great and we appreciate that they have gluten-free buns. Most of the food trucks don't have any gluten-free options.

The food was great, there wasn't a long wait but they ran out of salsa and some of the toppings midway through the event.

The food was SO good. It was bragged about all night by guests. The team showed up early, even in the rain and knocked it outta the park. We are so happy with how everything turned out.
