Supporting Portland’s Small Businesses
Every time you book American Bistro food truck catering in Portland, ME, you do more than feed your crowd—you fuel the city’s independent spirit. Most of the rolling kitchens that park along Commercial Street or pop up at Payson Park are owned by solo chefs, husband-and-wife teams, or first-generation families chasing the Maine dream. Your event dollars stay in the 207, paying local purveyors for grass-fed beef, Crown O Maine veggies, and micro-roasted coffee from East Bayside.
Food trucks are also an eco-friendly win. Compared with traditional banquet halls, a single American bistro truck uses a fraction of the electricity, relies on reusable prep gear, and sends less waste to ecomaine. Many Portland operators even run on biodiesel reclaimed from neighborhood fryers—talk about closing the loop!

The food was great and had a good variety of flavors. The owner could have been friendlier and that is why I am only giving 4 stars.

Food was great and she was very pleasant. She was by herself when I went down there but she had a great system and stayed positive during a hectic time. I loved being able to pre-order and that they texted me when my food was ready.
