Food Cart — Catering

Bruneau’s Food Cart

Established in 2014, Bruneau’s Food Cart is one of the original food carts in Bend, Oregon with a name recognized for quality, a great reputation for serving awesome food, and consistent 5-star reviews.  Bruneau’s specializes in serving Authentic Philly Cheese Steaks and Traditional Greek Gyros (with Vegetarian and Gluten Free Options).  Our simple but awesome menu was designed by a Philly Native.  Made with delectable ingredients, our sandwiches consistently win rave reviews from discriminating Philly and east coast customers (as our 4.9 Star Google Reviews will affirm).

Our food carts are licensed in Deschutes County, and serve all of Central Oregon including Sisters, Tumalo, and Redmond; Sunriver and La Pine; and Madras, Smith Rock, and Prineville. You can find us at most of the large public festivals and at many privately catered events including weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, graduations, corporate gatherings, and school functions.

Bruneau’s has served at the most exclusive events in Central Oregon and for some of the most discriminating clients in America.

We offer White-Glove Service and will make you look and feel like a rock star by reducing your stress and increasing your joy.  Let us help you plan, coordinate, and serve the food, drinks, appetizers, sides, and desserts for your guests for you most important event.

Catering for Weddings, Birthday Parties, Graduations, Anniversaries & Family Reunions 

Do you remember the feeling you had as a child when the ice cream truck drove through your neighborhood?  You couldn’t wait for a cool, delicious treat on those hot, summer days.  What if you could share a little of that nostalgia at your next big event?  Why not feature Bruneau’s Food Cart instead of a buffet?  Food cart catering is hip, quick, affordable and delicious.  It’s a great idea and the perfect fit for the both local foodies and the great visitors we have the privilege of sharing Central Oregon with -because everyone loves a food cart or food truck!

We have catered lunches and dinners for exclusive dinner parties, private birthday bashes, unique wedding receptions, and memorable anniversary celebrations.

To be respectful of people’s privacy we rarely share images or name drop.  But you can read a few of the reviews of our satisfied customers from Google, Yelp, and Facebook below:

“We had our backyard wedding catered by Bruneau’s and were so happy with our experience. The food was bomb and we had several guests gushing about how nice Andrea was after the wedding.” – Kailie Tronson (Bride)

“This is the best cheesesteak I’ve ever had. Might actually beat Pat’s and Geno’s in Philly! Nothing like it in Bend – that’s for sure. They also do a great job of catering – they did our wedding and it was a major hit. I’d follow these guys anywhere.” – Bride

“Bruneau’s catered my 40th birthday party- and what a hit!!! Delicious-! everybody loved it- and went back for more( maybe too much more …lol) How fun to come home to my “surprise” party with a food cart at my back patio!”  -Jennifer Steigmen

 

Why Bruneau’s is Unique

Our food carts are very unique compared to all the other food trucks in Central Oregon.  Most mobile food vendors make their food privately inside a food truck or a food trailer and then serve their food through a sliding glass window.   Our food carts on the other hand are open-air carts.  This means that you can literally see everything that we do from prepping the food to cooking and serving the food.  And not only can you see everything happening, but you can hear and smell the sizzling onions, meat and cheese on the grill.  Everything that we do is a show!  And, people love to watch us cook!  This is no surprise of course, if you think of all the cooking shows that have become popular through the years: Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Hell’s Kitchen, Beat Bobby Flay, and Iron Chef.

Enjoying our food is an unforgettable experience: from the presentation and taste to the conversation and friendships that develop around the grill. Your friends, family, team, and/or clients, will remember and talk about our food long after the meal is over.

Wow! We can’t give Bruneau’s South Philly Cuisine enough kudos for making our family reunion kickoff a success. We had 47 people of all ages and food preferences at the Black Butte Ranch Resort outdoor pavilion just west of Sisters, Oregon. Several family members asked who the caterer was as they were fully satisfied with the variety and mouth watering food. Andrea ran such an efficient show, while keeping a low profile too. Delicious!

Less Stress – More Joy!   

Let’s face it, planning a memorable event with important people can be stressful and often a lot of work.  But, it doesn’t have to be.  You can impress your friends, family, or colleagues with a strategic decision to have our food cart cater your event and do all work.  Why not enjoy yourself and look like a rockstar, while we cook some phenomenal food, create an unforgettable experience for your guests, and clean up the mess.
