Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Charlottesville Studio!
Whether you’re shooting a commercial on the Downtown Mall, filming a documentary along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or wrapping a late-night scene near the University of Virginia, Best Food Trucks brings the very best food truck catering in Charlottesville straight to your studio lot. Our seasoned team has fed film crews from Belmont to Crozet, so we know exactly how to keep cast and crew happy— and on schedule.
We’ll design rotating daily menus that fit any dietary need, scout the most convenient service locations on set, and streamline online ordering so your grips and gaffers aren’t stuck in line. Every vendor is fully vetted for Charlottesville permits and insurance, and you’ll receive a transparent cost analysis that keeps production accountants smiling.
Choose local favorites like a hearty Mediterranean bowl from Ricebowls Express, a wood-fired slice from Blue Ridge Pizza Co, decadent scoops from Royal Creamery & Icery, or stick-to-your-ribs comfort fare by Fantabulous Chef Service LLC and Curbside Creations. Food truck catering cuts down on food and packaging waste too— a win for your budget and for our beautiful Blue Ridge environment.
From sunrise call times to midnight wrap parties, let Best Food Trucks handle every bite of your studio catering in Charlottesville. You focus on the shot list; we’ll handle the shopping list.
Fueling Charlottesville’s Small Businesses
Booking food truck catering for your Charlottesville studio shoot does more than keep the crew happy—it pumps dollars straight back into our local economy. Every truck that rolls up to your set on West Main, at IX Art Park, or out by the Rivanna River is owned by a Central Virginia family or solo entrepreneur. Your budget stays right here in the 22901–22903 zip codes, helping neighbors hire staff, pay rent, and keep Charlottesville’s ever-growing food scene buzzing.
Choosing food trucks is also an eco-smart move. Mobile kitchens draw far less energy than conventional buffet lines and rely on compostable or recyclable serviceware, slashing waste on location. Many of our partner vendors even source ingredients from Charlottesville farmers’ markets and use disposables supplied by local sustainability groups like GreenBlue.
So when the production assistant types “low-budget film catering near me” into Google, give them the responsible—and delicious—answer. Reach out to Best Food Trucks and line up Charlottesville’s finest wheels for your next shoot. Great food, happy crew, stronger community.

Fries were blah. I love shoestring fries but these were not great. Very plain. Not a great taste. Our burgers were very good. Chicken fingers were average. I wish we could find a place that did amazing beer battered chicken fingers.

I haven't ordered for a whole year because I was having so many bad experiences. I'm really glad that I came back!

Oh my goodness!!! best sweet potato fries we have ever had in our entire life. So tender so crispy. Brisket sandwich was beyond delicious. As was the shrimp taco. Please come back to Raintree again.

bang bang chicken was delicious. Would prefer if the fries were separate so they didn't get soggy or serve with rice instead.

The portion was more than expected and hot and fresh. A coworker ordered the Pepperoni pizza and it was really good as well

I really liked Max’s hot chicken. I got the gyro plate and it was great quantity. The only thing I didn’t enjoy as much was that the meat was too salty.
