Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio—Ready When You Are!
From the sound stages in the Market District to on-location shoots near Gray’s Lake, Best Food Trucks has been the go-to choice for food truck catering for studios in Des Moines. We understand the pressures of tight call sheets and union meal penalties, so we make sure every craft-services break runs like clockwork—no matter if you’re filming a commercial on Court Avenue or a feature in Waukee.
Our Des Moines studio food truck catering program is built around flexibility. We’ll collaborate with your production office to create rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew excited, scout the best parking spots for fast service, and streamline online ordering and pickup so no one misses a shot. Every vendor is pre-vetted for City of Des Moines permits, insurance, and ServSafe certifications, and we supply a transparent cost analysis that fits your budget and satisfies the line producer.
Want authentic Mexican street eats between scenes? Book local favorites like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza. Need a vegan option for that health-conscious lead actor? Veggie Thumper has you covered. With Best Food Trucks, your Des Moines film crew catering lineup can change daily while still hitting every dietary note—from gluten-free to “extra queso, please.”
Food truck catering is also a green choice for studio productions: individual portions mean less food waste and compostable packaging cuts down on trash runs to the Polk County Landfill. Let Best Food Trucks handle the mealtime logistics so you can focus on capturing that perfect Drake Stadium sunset shot. Your crew will eat well, stay happy, and be back on set before the director calls, “Rolling!”
Fueling Des Moines Dreams—and Small Businesses
Booking a food truck for your Des Moines studio set does more than feed the crew—it keeps the city’s creative engine humming. Nearly every truck we partner with is a family-run or solo-owned venture, whether they’re rolling in from Beaverdale, the Historic East Village, or up Fleur Drive after the morning farmers market. Every plate you order puts real dollars back into Polk County’s small-business community and helps local culinary talent thrive.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart choice for production catering. Because they cook to order inside energy-efficient kitchens on wheels, they burn far less power than a traditional commissary tent, and their compostable serviceware keeps extra runs to Metro Waste Authority to a minimum. Your sustainability report will look as good as that golden-hour shot over the Capitol dome.
So the next time your production manager types “low-budget film catering Des Moines” or “studio food truck near me” into the call sheet, give Best Food Trucks a shout. You’ll lock in crowd-pleasing meals, support the city’s entrepreneurs, and keep your set green—all without blowing the craft-services budget.

Fat Boys Food Truck catered our CEO’s 25th anniversary celebration, and they were fantastic from start to finish! The team was punctual, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Our staff had great things to say about how delicious everything was — the food was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of options; we were expecting just burgers but were thrilled to see chicken tenders, wraps, and salads as well. Everyone found something they loved! Thank you, Fat Boys, for helping make our event such a success. We’ll definitely keep you in mind for future celebrations!

Good size pizza, tasty pies. Cauliflower crust was good. Hard to have a hot pizza by the time we walked home.

Some of the best barbecue I have had. Hands down the best food I have had from a food truck. The Mac and cheese was delicious and the portions were large!
