Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Charleston Studio Set
Whether your cameras are rolling on historic King Street, under the Ravenel Bridge, or out on the marshes of the Lowcountry, Best Food Trucks delivers seamless, on-time food truck catering for studio productions in Charleston. After years of feeding film crews all over the Holy City, we know exactly how to keep talent, techs, and PAs happy during those tight meal breaks.
Our local team collaborates with your production office to create rotating daily menus, select optimal service spots on-lot or on-location, and streamline ordering so your AD never has to yell, “Back to set!” twice. We handle every detail—vendor permits, insurance, power requirements, and a crystal-clear cost analysis—so you can focus on the shot list, not the shopping list.
Charleston’s vibrant truck scene means your crew can savor Mediterranean street wraps from Wally Gyros LLC, plant-powered bowls from Bangin' Vegan Eats, Lowcountry fried chicken sliders from Fed Up Truck LLC, fresh falafel from Zimo's, or crave-worthy Filipino lumpia from Lola's Lumpia Food Truck—all without ever leaving the call sheet.
Choosing food truck catering isn’t just convenient; it’s greener too. With made-to-order meals and compostable serviceware, our studio clients report far less food and packaging waste than traditional buffet setups. Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime for your Charleston studio production—it’s one less continuity error to worry about.
Keeping the Cameras Rolling — and Charleston’s Small Businesses Thriving
Booking food truck catering for studio productions in Charleston does more than feed hungry crews; it pours money back into the Holy City. Nearly every truck we dispatch—from a Johns Island shrimp-n-grits wagon to a Park Circle wood-fired pizza rig—is owned by local families and solo entrepreneurs. Your catering budget stays right here in the Lowcountry, supporting Charleston farmers, mechanics, and prep cooks instead of a national craft-service chain.
Choosing food trucks is kinder to the coast, too. Self-contained kitchens use far less power than diesel buffet lines, and our compostable plates help keep Shem Creek and Folly Beach free of single-use plastics. It’s the eco-friendly way to serve hot, customized meals without leaving a big footprint on set—except for the footprints in the marsh mud.
So the next time your production coordinator searches for “low-budget film catering near me” or “Charleston studio meal service,” call Best Food Trucks. We’ll deliver on-time plates, Lowcountry flavor, and a boost to the very small businesses that make Charleston such a magnetic backdrop in the first place.

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!

I was home and didn’t plan on going back out. I got a pop up that the Melt Machine was a few minutes away. I placed an order and left my house for a grilled cheese and tots! LOVE the Melt Machine!!!!
