Supporting Des Moines’ Small Businesses & Green Goals
Booking studio food truck catering in Des Moines isn’t just the easiest way to keep your cast and crew happy—it’s a direct investment in the Metro’s vibrant small-business community. Most of the trucks we dispatch are owned by Drake University alumni, South Side families, or chefs who got their start at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Every taco, tenderloin, or vegan bowl you order puts real dollars back into Polk County kitchens instead of into a far-away corporate commissary.
Food trucks also check the boxes for eco-friendly production catering. Because each rig is a self-contained kitchen, they draw less power than a traditional craft-services tent and send far fewer disposable pans and chafers to the landfill. We even coordinate compostable serviceware with Metro Waste Authority guidelines to keep your set’s carbon footprint as low as the Des Moines River valley.
So the next time your production manager Googles “low-budget film catering near me” from a sound stage off Fleur Drive, send them our way. Best Food Trucks delivers socially responsible, studio-ready meals that taste as good as they feel—another reason we’re the top choice for studio food truck catering Des Moines crews trust.

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!

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.

I ordered noodles with a side of chicken. On the description of the noodles it says it comes with grilled vegtables and there were none.

Ashley was awesome! She checked in days beforehand to coordinate proper timing and setup, and she endured the extreme heat to provide great food and friendly service for four hours. People really enjoyed the tacos and nacho selections. Outstanding addition to our house party!
