Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Charlotte Studio Crew

Film and TV production in the Queen City moves fast—whether you’re shooting at Silver Hammer Studios in the North End, a soundstage in NoDa, or on location uptown near the Spectrum Center. Best Food Trucks keeps your Charlotte studio catering running just as smoothly. We’ve spent years feeding hungry crews, so we know how to build rotating daily menus that hit call-time, wrap-time, and every break in between.

Our local team will map the best service spots on your lot, streamline online ordering and express pickup, and verify every vendor’s permits and insurance with the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. You’ll get an itemized cost analysis that stays on budget—no surprise overages. Plus, food truck catering drastically reduces food and packaging waste, helping keep our beloved Catawba River and Lake Norman cleaner.

Looking for menu variety that keeps cast and crew excited? Charlotte favorites like Word Of Mouth Catering CLT (Southern comfort classics), Nacho Average Truck (the city’s first gourmet nacho truck), Krave Food Truck (burgers, tacos, and wings), the grilled-cheese genius of Papi Queso, and coastal flavors from Ruthie’s of Charlotte roll right up to your set. We’ll rotate them throughout the week so everyone—from background extras to the director—finds something they love.

Ready to take the guesswork out of mealtime for your Charlotte studio production? Reach out to Best Food Trucks and discover why we’re the top choice for food truck catering for studios in Charlotte.

On Location Catering catering

Fuel Charlotte Studios & Lift Local Businesses

Choosing food truck catering for a studio in Charlotte doesn’t just solve mealtime logistics—it funnels your budget straight back into the Queen City’s small-business economy. Most Charlotte food trucks are family-run labors of love, parked nightly in neighborhoods like Plaza Midwood, South End, NoDa, and Wesley Heights before rolling onto set at dawn. Every burger flipped or shrimp po’ boy served keeps dollars circulating with hometown entrepreneurs instead of large national vendors.

Mobile kitchens are also a greener way to feed cast and crew. Self-contained trucks pull significantly less power than full craft-service tents, and their cook-to-order model slashes the buffet overages that usually end up in the Buford landfill. Many Charlotte operators even power their rigs with biodiesel refined right here in Mecklenburg County, trimming your production’s carbon footprint in the process.

So the next time you’re on location at Silver Hammer Studios or shooting night exteriors uptown and type “low budget film catering near me” into your phone, call Best Food Trucks. We’ll line up Charlotte’s best mobile chefs, deliver hot meals on cue, and give your production a socially responsible story to tell.

The food was VERY good. 1 of their fryers broke so it took almost 3 hours to get everyone thru the line which didn't make anyone happy. The quality of the food was great and quantity of food also but time was a turn off for most. They also did not show up to the event early enough to set up so they didn't start serving until about 20-25 mins after the set-up start time. Would hire again for smaller event.

How fresh my sandwich still was even though I was late. Great flavor, and the lady who helped me with sauces was great. She had lovely service, and spoke to me by name.

I ordered cauliflower crust but I don't think that's what I got. Just an intolerance to gluten so no issue...but really wanted to try the cauliflower

Food was amazing! Owners and staff really have a heart for service. All my guests raved about every item on the menu. Bananas Foster Plaintains were excellent and something no one had ever had.

The pizza is delicious. But I asked for arugula on it and paid extra. They didn't put any arugula on it.
