Lowcountry Flavor, Customizable Meals Delivered On-Set!
Best Food Trucks is Charleston’s go-to partner for food truck catering for studio productions, from indie shoots on Johns Island to big-budget features filming along the Battery. Our Holy City team knows tight call sheets, and we’ll time every service so your cast and crew can grab a hot meal and be back under the lights before the tide changes on the Cooper River.
We’ll build rotating daily menus packed with Lowcountry favorites and global bites. Think smoky shrimp and grits from our Southern comfort star, Fed Up Truck LLC, crisp falafel and gyros from longtime local legend Wally Gyros Llc, plant-powered creations from Bangin' Vegan Eats, bold Mediterranean bowls via Zimo's, and crunchy lumpia straight out of Lola's Lumpia Food Truck. Whether you’re filming a beach scene on Folly or a carriage ride downtown, we’ll place trucks where parking is easiest, streamline mobile ordering, and vet every vendor for Charleston permits and insurance.
You’ll receive a clear cost breakdown that fits your production budget, plus the eco-perk of less food and packaging waste than traditional catering. Trust Best Food Trucks to handle on-set meals so you can focus on that perfect Ravenel Bridge sunset shot—because in Charleston, the food should be as unforgettable as the scenery.
Fueling Charleston’s Small Businesses — One Film Set at a Time
Choosing food truck catering for your studio in Charleston isn’t just smart for your production schedule—it’s a big win for the local economy. Nearly every truck we roll onto your set is owned by a Holy City family, a CofC alum, or a Navy Yard kitchen start-up in North Charleston. When your crew bites into a buttery biscuit from a Johns Island baker or a smoky barbecue slider straight off a Folly Beach smoker, 100% of that spend stays right here in the Lowcountry.
Food trucks also keep your shoot a little greener than the marshes off Shem Creek. Compared with traditional craft-services buffets, our rigs run on energy-efficient equipment, use compostable serve-ware, and produce far less food waste. Fewer generators idling, fewer plastic pans in the trash—just quick, eco-friendly meals that keep cameras rolling.
So the next time you Google “film set food truck catering near me” or “budget studio catering Charleston,” skip the generic listings and call Best Food Trucks. We’ll spotlight Charleston’s tastiest small businesses, cut your carbon footprint, and make every break as memorable as the scene you’re shooting on King Street.

The way orders are made and called out. I was standing at the truck waiting on my order. I got a text that my order was ready. I waited for 10 min, No one called my name. All the while they were passing out other orders. Stepped to the window to ask about my order, got a little bit of attitude from the guy it took him 10 seconds to walk over and get my order. It was obviously waiting for that 10 min.

I made a review earlier about their sauces being a little amount, I’ve tried them since and they have made the portion of their sauces much better and the food was amazing again!

The seasoning of the Shrimps, the tenderness of the tenders. The crispness of the fries. Just would've wanted more seasoning on the fries. Delicious

The taste is amazing, but the price of the sauce, just to get a small sauce cup that’s not even half way filled does suck. Other than that the food is delicious.

Good was delicious. Docked one point because food was not ready when I received the text (waited an extra 20 minutes) and one of my items was wrong

Fries and shrimp were amazing... however, my crab cake smelled and tasted funny and was s little discolored on the inside.
