Fueling Des Moines Small Businesses
Booking studio food truck catering in Des Moines isn’t just convenient for your shoot—it’s a direct investment in our city’s vibrant small-business community. Most of the trucks that pull up to sets in the Historic East Village, the Drake neighborhood, or Valley Junction are family-owned operations started right here in Central Iowa. When your crew grabs lunch from one of these mobile kitchens, your production dollars stay local and help those entrepreneurs keep their grills—and their dreams—firing.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart upgrade over traditional buffet lines. Mobile kitchens draw less power, prep exactly what’s ordered, and minimize single-use packaging. Best Food Trucks partners with vendors who recycle, compost, and source Iowa ingredients—think summer sweet corn, La Quercia prosciutto, and Maytag blue—to lower your carbon footprint while elevating flavor.
So when the call sheet says “Meal break, 12:30,” skip the bland boxed lunches. Search “studio food truck catering Des Moines” or “low-budget film catering near me” and let Best Food Trucks roll in a solution that feeds your crew, sustains the local economy, and keeps Mother Earth smiling.

Everything. Only recommendation would be to have regular tartar sauce for catfish along with the sauce it comes with.

The Italian sausage sandwich was great with the peppers, and it was nice to have a cooked vegetable option with the green beans. It was made just like how I'd cook it up in my own kitchen.

The chicken tacos were great, with awesome flavor, along with the fries that were nice and fresh with the added extra seasoning! I enjoyed my lunch today for sure! 🤗

The sauce was just the right amount of sweet, the combination of the crispy crust and warm melted cheese was perfect and the pepperoni added a nice spice to round it out. 😋yum

I ordered the Lemonade cupcake. I loved the balance between the sweet of the icing and the sour of the lemon! It was so delicious!!!

Amazing crust, great cheese and pepperoni. Sauce tasted great too, but I would like a bit more on the pizza

Pizza was perfectly cooked with high quality ingredients and you could tell they make their own crust and sauce, would definitely order from them again. Pickup went smoothly and order was ready at the requested time.

Very tasty! The seasoning on the fries has a nice kick to it. Burger was way bigger than I expected and cooked just the way I like it.

Food was ready on time, we are at the workplace and are busy so this is important to us and they were on-point. Online system worked great. Staff were friendly. Food was a little pricy, but not unexpected given it was on-site service. Quality if good was good. Original take on pizza. Was nice to get fresh cooked food at work.
