Hot, Customizable Meals for Columbia’s Hard-Working Studio Crews
Whether your production is shooting B-roll on Main Street, wrapping a scene near the Congaree River, or setting up base camp by Fort Jackson, Best Food Trucks keeps Columbia film crews well fed and on schedule. We’ve spent years fine-tuning studio and film-set catering, so meal breaks run like clockwork and even the pickiest gaffer leaves happy.
Our local team will:
- Create rotating daily menus that spotlight Columbia favorites like shrimp & grits and mustard-based BBQ.
- Scout and secure the best service spots— from Soda City Market alleys to spacious lots in the BullStreet District.
- Streamline online ordering and quick-grab pickup so you’re back on set before “rolling!” is called.
- Vet every vendor for City of Columbia permits, DHEC requirements, and full insurance.
- Deliver a clear cost summary that keeps your production accountant smiling.
Food truck catering also slashes food and packaging waste— great news for productions looking to stay green while filming in the Palmetto State.
Choose from a roster of beloved Midlands trucks your crew already knows:
- Carolina Cookin' – Gourmet Seafood classics like soft-shell crab over creamy grits.
- Mardi Gras Tyme – Cajun comfort straight from the Big Easy to the Vista.
- Ken's Famous Italian Ice – A frosty pick-me-up for those humid South Carolina afternoons.
- The Haute Dog Lady – All-American dogs with toppings as wild as your script.
- Kona Ice – Columbia – Shaved-ice bliss that turns any back lot into a mini beach.
Let Best Food Trucks handle the mealtime logistics for your Columbia studio. You focus on capturing the perfect shot— we’ll make sure the catering is a wrap.
Fueling Columbia’s Economy, One Food Truck at a Time
Booking studio food truck catering in Columbia doesn’t just keep your cast and crew satisfied— it pours money right back into the Midlands community. Every truck that rolls up to your set in Five Points or on the Horseshoe is usually a family-run or solo-owner operation. When you hire them, you’re helping a neighbor pay rent, put kids through USC, and keep Columbia’s culinary scene thriving long after you yell, “That’s a wrap!”
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional craft-services buffets. Smaller kitchens mean lower energy usage, and serving straight from the truck eliminates mountains of disposable pans and plastic. Many of our Columbia vendors even compost oyster shells and recycle cooking oil through local green programs.
So the next time you Google “studio food truck catering Columbia” or “low-budget film catering near me,” give Best Food Trucks a call. You’ll treat your crew to unforgettable Soda City flavors and keep Columbia’s small businesses—and the planet—thriving.

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
