Supporting Providence’s Small Businesses—One American Bistro Truck at a Time

Every time you book American Bistro food truck catering in Providence, you’re sending your food budget straight back into the local economy. Most of the trucks we partner with are owned by solo chefs who grew up in Elmhurst, family teams from Silver Lake, or culinary-school grads renting a commissary kitchen off Broad Street. Your wedding on Benefit Street or company picnic at Roger Williams Park becomes more than a meal—it becomes a micro-investment in Providence’s entrepreneurial scene.

Food trucks are also a greener choice than traditional catering halls on the East Side. Compact kitchens mean lower energy use, and the “cook-to-order” model cuts down on buffet waste. Many of our Providence food truck owners compost prep scraps and serve on recyclable trays, so your Block Island Sound views stay just as clean as your conscience.

So the next time you Google “American Bistro food trucks near me in Providence,” remember that Best Food Trucks delivers more than sliders and truffle fries. We deliver jobs, sustainability, and a taste of the city we love—all from a rolling bistro parked right outside your door.

Loved this food truck, both the food and the crew! They were wonderful, kind and very quick. The price was not too bad for what we got and we'd love to host with them again!

More than 5! They worked their butts off to get the food out. All of it was delicious! Probably the best burger meat I've ever had, melted in my mouth!

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.

Tasty sandwich and soup. I pre ordered and received an email they would try to accommodate my scheduled pickup and was expecting a text when the order was ready but didn’t receive one. Upon going to the truck my order was handed to me immediately however.

The food taser fresh and flavorful, and the French Fries were cooked perfectly brown and crispy, not soggy.

Great flavor in the Buffalo Chicken Wrap and the fries were perfect. I would've appreciated a side dipping sauce of the Buffalo sauce.

How does food truck catering work with Best Food Trucks?
With Best Food Trucks, you choose the budget for your event and provide details like, time, date, how many diners and what type of party you're throwing. Best Food Trucks will send out your request to regional food trucks who will submit a proposal based on your budget.
How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?
You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.

Food trucks that can serve fast and serve a cuisine that can easily be eaten while standing without having to use utensils, typically work for a party atmosphere.
