Supporting Kalamazoo’s Small Businesses

Every time you book American Bistro food truck catering in Kalamazoo you keep your dollars right here in the Zoo. Most of the trucks we roll into Bronson Park, Portage Road, or a tailgate at Waldo Stadium are owned by Western Michigan University grads, neighborhood families from Milwood, or veterans who grew up fishing the Kalamazoo River. Your party guests get scratch-made smash burgers, artisanal mac & cheese, and loaded Bistro fries—while those independent owners get the fuel to hire more locals and buy produce from the Kalamazoo Farmers Market.

Food trucks are also a greener choice for Southwest Michigan events. Because the kitchen is already on wheels, American Bistro trucks use less power than a traditional banquet hall and they serve on compostable trays, cutting landfill waste after your company picnic at Kindleberger Park. Supporting small business, boosting the Kalamazoo economy, and shrinking your carbon footprint all happen in one easy booking.

So the next time you Google “American Bistro food truck near me in Kalamazoo,” let Best Food Trucks park the solution at your curb. Great food, local impact, eco-friendly service—that’s how Kalamazoo does catering.

Our burgers and fries were delicious! We don't usually do fast food or food trucks. The food was hot with fresh ingredients on the hamburger. Our fries had a hint of salt which was perfect for us. The staff was also very friendly (even though there was a line). Thank you.

The flavor of the fries & corn dog were great & the fried cookie dough was a nice treat to have accessible given you typically only get the luxury of fair food at the fair. It's nice to have the option for fair food so easily accessible! Look forward to ordering again!
