Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Charlottesville Studio!
Whether you’re shooting a commercial off the Downtown Mall, filming a documentary near Monticello, or producing the next indie hit on the UVA Grounds, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable food truck catering for studio crews in Charlottesville. Our local team understands the tight turnarounds and early call-times that come with life on set. We’ll design rotating daily menus, identify the easiest pull-up spots— from Belmont to the foot of the Blue Ridge— and organize contact-free ordering so cast and crew spend less time in line and more time on camera.
Every vendor we bring on lot is vetted for Virginia health permits, insurance, and fire-safety requirements, and we back it all up with a clear cost analysis that protects your budget. Plus, food truck catering keeps Charlottesville green by reducing buffet overage and excess packaging. From sunrise shoots to late-night wrap parties, let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your studio— it’s one less thing for you to worry about.
Craving local flavor? Treat the team to Mediterranean rice bowls from Ricebowls Express, wood-fired slices courtesy of Blue Ridge Pizza Co, or classic American comfort favorites from Fantabulous Chef Service LLC and Curbside Creations. Don’t forget a sweet wrap-day reward— hand-churned scoops from Royal Creamery & Icery are always a crowd-pleaser.
Fueling Local Dreams—And Your Set
Booking food truck catering for your Charlottesville studio shoot does more than feed a hungry crew—it keeps the city’s small-business scene thriving. Most of the trucks that roll up to sets from North Downtown to Crozet are owned by UVA grads, longtime City Market vendors, or families who’ve served late-night bites on the Corner for years. Every taco, smash burger, or vegan grain bowl you order puts money back into our community and helps local entrepreneurs chase their own creative projects.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional craft-services tables. Because meals are cooked to order right on the truck, there’s far less food waste and no need for mountains of disposable chafing pans. Modern rigs run on high-efficiency generators or shore power, shrinking the carbon footprint of your production—something we can all appreciate when we’re filming along the Rivanna or out by Carter Mountain’s orchards.
So the next time you Google “low-budget film catering Charlottesville” or “studio food truck near me,” skip the boxed lunches and call Best Food Trucks instead. We’ll deliver fresh, hyper-local flavor to set while you focus on capturing the perfect shot.

The brisket melt is absolutely delicious. We loved the seasoning on the fresh cut fries. This is definitely our favorite sandwich truck that comes to Talavera.

I was just a little disappointed that they didn't have the chess pie that I had ordered. The red beans and rice were really good.

The turkey burger was good. I don't eat onions and have allergies to that so I scraped them off. There wasn't a space to request ti have them removed. Perhaps, an "instructions" space can be added for that particular burger as well. Many have allergies to foods. Thank you!🙂

Truck was great, would like a lid for the pudding to carry a little easier. And would like more trucks with healthier options
