Hot, Customizable Meals for Columbia Studios—Delivered Right On-Set!

Whether you’re shooting a scene on Gervais Street, capturing sunrise over the Congaree River, or filming downtown near the historic South Carolina State House, Best Food Trucks brings the taste of Columbia straight to your cast and crew. Our team has years of experience providing food truck catering for studios in Columbia, so your meal breaks run smooth as a Steadycam shot.

We’ll work hand-in-hand with your production office to build rotating daily menus, pinpoint the most convenient serving spots—be it a secured lot in Five Points or a pop-up basecamp in the Vista—streamline online ordering and pickup, and handle every permit and insurance detail. You’ll even receive a clear cost analysis that keeps your budget as tight as your shooting schedule.

Hungry for local flavor? Treat the crew to Lowcountry seafood from Carolina Cookin', spicy Cajun classics from Mardi Gras Tyme, refreshing treats from Ken's Famous Italian Ice or Kona Ice - Columbia, and all-American comfort fare from The Haute Dog Lady. With dozens of trucks on our roster, even the pickiest eater in the lighting department will leave lunch smiling.

Food truck catering is eco-friendly too—less food waste, fewer disposable containers, and smaller carbon footprints than traditional craft services. Let Best Food Trucks handle the meals so you can focus on getting the perfect take. When it comes to studio food truck catering in Columbia, we’re the folks who call “action” on flavor and “cut” on stress.

Supporting Columbia’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time

Every time a production books studio food truck catering in Columbia with Best Food Trucks, the Midlands economy gets a little bump. Most of the rolling kitchens we partner with—think of the rigs you see parked at Soda City Market on Main Street—are owned by local families, USC alumni, and veterans who proudly call the Capital City home. Your breakfast burrito or shrimp po’ boy doesn’t just feed the crew; it keeps dollars circulating right here from Cayce to Forest Acres.

Food truck craft services are also a greener choice for Columbia film sets. Since each truck is a self-contained kitchen, energy consumption is lower than that of a traditional commissary, and reusable serviceware slashes landfill waste. Add in our streamlined online ordering system—no paper tickets cluttering the production office—and your shoot earns serious sustainability cred.

So the next time you type “low-budget film catering near me” while scouting locations along the Congaree, remember there’s a socially responsible, flavor-packed solution parked just around the corner. Book a Columbia food truck and give your cast, crew, and community something to cheer about between takes.

The cheese, pulled pork Quesadilla and Taco Nachos were so tasty. My dad loved your cheese quesadilla. The chocolate cake was delicious too.

I like both pizzas, especially the one with mushroom, cheese, carm onion, and arugula with truffle oil. Also being able to pre-order ahead, service was fast. Thank you!

Delicious and PROMPT! Such a refreshing change from most trucks that start 20 to 40 minutes late. Awesome job have them back!

The Ahi Tuna Roll was quite delicious and surprisingly substantial without being too heavy. I recommend picking a fork with it. Wraps never survive in one piece.

Everything. Only recommendation would be to have regular tartar sauce for catfish along with the sauce it comes with.

The Italian sausage sandwich was great with the peppers, and it was nice to have a cooked vegetable option with the green beans. It was made just like how I'd cook it up in my own kitchen.

The chicken tacos were great, with awesome flavor, along with the fries that were nice and fresh with the added extra seasoning! I enjoyed my lunch today for sure! 🤗

The sauce was just the right amount of sweet, the combination of the crispy crust and warm melted cheese was perfect and the pepperoni added a nice spice to round it out. 😋yum

I ordered the Lemonade cupcake. I loved the balance between the sweet of the icing and the sour of the lemon! It was so delicious!!!
