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!

My husband and I placed an order for 2 entrees. When I went to pick it up, the food truck workers or owners were so kind, and they seemed excited to be here. That's refreshing at the end of a long day. The food was amazing!! My husband got the brisket tacos and Cajun fries and really enjoyed both! I got the brisket sandwich and sweet potato fries. The brisket sandwich was so tender and flavorful. The sweet potato fries were scrumptious. I received two different sauces with my order. They were unique and tasty. As the food truck worker or owner bagged our order, he added an additional basket on top of the entrees and said, "We've added a couple of apple pies on the house for the neighborhood to enjoy!" I was shocked ... and excited! In a time where food costs are soaring, no one offers items for free. To receive dessert "on the house" was such a kind and appreciated ending to a fabulous meal! We hope this truck comes back soon. We loved everything!

I ordered a prosciutto and hot honey pizza but they ran out of prosciutto and substituted pepperoni, but it would have been better with prosciutto. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza. It was very good and we loved the crust!

Almost everything was deliciously perfect. The corn beef is so tender and beautifully seasoned. The cabbage however, was undergone and bitter, with bits of charred burnt areas.

Tony and Asath were absolutely wonderful! They handled the long line of students with such care, speed, and efficiency. They were true professionals from start to finish. I would absolutely hire Burger Point again and highly recommend them!
