Support Cream City’s Small Businesses

Every time you book an American Bistro food truck in Milwaukee, you’re doing more than feeding your crew—you’re investing in the city we love. Most of the trucks that roll up to offices on Brady Street or festivals in Bay View are owned by solo chefs, husband-and-wife teams, or second-generation family businesses who source their beef, dairy, and produce from Wisconsin farms. Your catering dollars stay right here in Milwaukee’s local economy, helping neighbors pay rent, buy gear, and hire more staff for the busy summer festival season.

Choosing food trucks is also an eco-smart move. Mobile kitchens sip far less energy than a traditional banquet hall, and the “order-by-phone, pick-up-at-the-window” model slashes food waste and disposable pan usage. Many Cream City trucks even run on biodiesel brewed from leftover fryer oil—how’s that for closing the loop?

So the next time you type “American Bistro food trucks near me” while planning a Harbor District block party or a company lunch overlooking Lake Michigan, remember: Best Food Trucks connects you with the tastiest, most socially responsible catering Milwaukee has to offer. Great food, greener footprint, stronger community—what are you waiting for?

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard
