Fueling St. Louis’ Small-Business Scene
Booking American bistro food truck catering in St. Louis does more than feed your crowd—it keeps the Gateway City’s independent economy humming. Every time you invite a truck to your office on Market Street or your reception in Tower Grove Park, you’re putting money directly into the hands of home-grown owners from neighborhoods like The Hill, Maplewood, and Benton Park. Most St. Louis food trucks are single-rig operations run by solo entrepreneurs or tight-knit families who prep, cook, and serve right on board.
Choosing a rolling kitchen over a traditional banquet hall is greener, too. Trucks sip far less energy than brick-and-mortar restaurants, and their streamlined menus cut down on food and packaging waste—good news for Forest Park’s tree canopy and our rivers alike.
So the next time you type “American bistro food trucks near me” or “food truck catering St. Louis” into your phone, remember that Best Food Trucks connects you with the very chefs who make our city’s streets smell amazing. Book a truck, savor the flavors, and give St. Louis’ small businesses another reason to thrive.

The food from Dragon's Den Cafe was delicious! We loved the uniqueness of the dishes, as well as the variety of offerings. Even the burgers weren't just burgers-they were unique and delicious in their own right. The variety of coffees and energy drinks was a definite plus. The staff was wonderful, too! We highly recommend Dragon's Den Cafe!

not one complaint about the food or service. Operators of the truck were very personable. I would and will recommend to others. Only thing i would add is some side heat on the spice. Some expressed the taste is great but would have liked to add some heat on the side

Pot roast po boy was bland. It could use more seasoning. Shrimp po boys and Brussels sprouts were great.

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

The burger and onion rings were great, and I loved the alert of when my food was ready so I didn't have to wait in line when I came down to get it!
