Hot, Customizable Meals for Charleston Studios – Ready When the Director Yells “Action!”
Whether your cameras are rolling at Trilith’s Charleston backlot, a historic home off the Battery, or out on Folly Beach, Best Food Trucks is the trusted choice for food truck catering for studio productions in Charleston. Our team has dialed in every detail of on-set and basecamp service so your talent and crew enjoy fresh, steaming meals without delaying the shooting schedule. From Shem Creek sunrises to late-night scenes on King Street, we’ll keep craft services running smoothly and on time.
We collaborate with Charleston’s favorite mobile kitchens to build rotating daily menus that hit every dietary need—gluten-free, vegan, keto, or just plain Southern comfort. Imagine savoring a falafel gyro from Wally Gyros LLC, a plant-powered burger from Bangin' Vegan Eats, shrimp & grits egg rolls from Fed Up Truck LLC, a shawarma bowl from Zimo's, or crispy lumpia from Lola's Lumpia Food Truck—all without your crew ever leaving set.
Best Food Trucks handles everything: mapping the optimal service location, setting staggered pickup windows to prevent long lines, verifying each vendor’s Charleston business license and insurance, and delivering a clear cost breakdown that keeps you on budget. Plus, food truck catering reduces disposable packaging and food waste, helping productions stay green—something every Lowcountry local can appreciate. Partner with us and take the guesswork out of mealtime for your Charleston studio; it’s one more thing you can strike from the call sheet.
Fueling Charleston’s Creative Economy—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking food truck catering for your Charleston studio set isn’t just smart production planning—it’s a direct investment in the Holy City’s small-business community. Every truck that rolls up to your basecamp is run by a local family or solo entrepreneur who lives right here in the Lowcountry. Your lunch order might pay for new tires on their trailer, ballet lessons in West Ashley, or fresh shrimp from a James Island dock.
Because these mobile kitchens cook everything to order, they use far less energy and disposable ware than traditional buffet lines. That means lighter footprints on our fragile marshlands and fewer trash runs on set—exactly the kind of eco-friendly win Charleston productions love to brag about during wrap parties on Upper King.
So the next time your production assistant is Googling “low-budget film catering near me,” tell ’em to call Best Food Trucks. You’ll score hot, unforgettable meals, lift up Charleston’s small businesses, and keep your shoot as green as the live oaks on Meeting Street.

I was told that the $6 garlic fries I paid extra for were on the one box. I find it hard to believe that was extra fries. Seems like it would be an extra box(extra side)

Food was very good and our guests enjoyed it. However, the wait for food orders was 35 to 45 minutes. Thankfully we also had an ice cream truck that guests could visit and have their ice cream while they waited for their lunch order.

: Not the style of teriyaki I anticipated. But overall the flavor was OK. Veggies and fried rice were quite good and the portion size was excellent.

I have visited this truck twice now, each time they didn't have an ingredient i wanted, but they've always suggested something in its place, both times I have been very pleased with the results, their pizza is TOP NOTCH, very delicious and satisfying

the lamb meat was excellent. I would have liked a little more vegetables, but overall it was excellent. I would eat there again and would try other options.

We hired Dave's S&T for a corporate employee appreciation event, and it was a smashing success from start to finish. Great communication in advance, very reasonable fixed price menu, impressive streamlined efficiency that prevented a line/wait for food, great customer service with our employees, tons of options on the menu, and fresh, flavorful food that *almost* everyone went absolutely crazy about (I mean, you can't please everyone. But it was as close to a resounding consensus as we've ever had). We'll book them again!
