Best Food Trucks brings the city’s most popular mobile kitchens straight to your lot, delivering studio food truck catering in Des Moines that even the pickiest grip or producer will rave about.

Our local team knows the ins and outs of Polk County permitting, the tight parking around Ingersoll, and how unpredictable Iowa weather can be. We’ll schedule rotating daily menus, help you pick the safest serving location, streamline online ordering and pickup, verify every vendor’s insurance, and give you a crystal-clear cost analysis that stays on budget. Plus, food trucks cut down on food and packaging waste—perfect for an eco-friendly set.

Fueling Des Moines Studios—and the Local Economy

Booking a food truck for your Des Moines studio set isn’t just the tastiest call sheet item—it’s an investment in the community. Nearly every truck that rolls up to your lot is owned by a family from Beaverdale, a pair of friends from Drake University, or a solo chef who cut their chops at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Your catering dollars stay right here in Polk County, creating jobs and keeping our creative scene thriving.

Food trucks are also an eco-smart alternative to traditional craft services. Modern rigs run on energy-efficient equipment, prep to order, and serve in compostable or recyclable packaging—no giant chafing dishes or mountains of plastic wrap cluttering the set. That means fewer trash runs on Grand Avenue and more time capturing that perfect golden-hour shot on Fleur Drive.

So the next time your production manager types “low-budget film catering near me” or “studio food truck catering Des Moines” into a search bar, remember Best Food Trucks. We’ll line up the city’s favorite mobile kitchens, keep your crew fed, and give you one more reason to say, “That’s a wrap!”
