Fueling Detroit’s Film Sets & Small Businesses
Booking a food truck with Best Food Trucks doesn’t just satisfy your cast and crew—it keeps Detroit’s entrepreneurial engine running. Each truck we bring to your studio lot is a hyper-local, family-owned business, from a husband-and-wife pierogi rig out of Hamtramck to a next-gen Coney cart built in Southwest Detroit. Your catering dollars circulate right back into the neighborhoods where we film, strengthening the very streets that give the Motor City its character.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-minded choice for studio catering in Detroit. Because they cook to order, trucks pull far less power than a traditional kitchen trailer and slash excess packaging—good news for the Detroit River and our Great Lakes watershed. So the next time you type “low-budget film catering Detroit” into your phone at 2 a.m., remember that a quick call to Best Food Trucks delivers hot meals, local impact, and a greener footprint all in one take.

The food was delicious!! And the quantity was better than I expected so guests were definitely full! I didn't give it 5 stars because even with the guest total known, some people were waiting between 30-50 minutes for the food. Luckily, we had enough time at the event and my friends were easy going about it so it was ok. Also, the main chef had a teenager it seemed helping him and she was very quickly overwhelmed and obviously unhappy so it made for a potentially unpleasant experience but as I said, my dear friends were super understanding and the food tasted GREAT so it didn't become a point of disappointment.

It was the best gluten-free pizza I've had since New York City and the chocolate Dubai dessert was amazing. I hope they come to Starkey ranch again soon!!

Once home, we discovered that we weren't given the broth that was to accompany the Birrias or the sauce and limes that were to accompany the tacos. Disappointing...

The brisket was a little dry. Still good but I did use more bbq sauce than I usually do on a sandwich.
