Hot, Customizable Meals for Columbia Studio Sets—Ready When the Director Calls “Lunch!”
From indie shoots on Main Street to big-budget productions at the old WLTX soundstage, Best Food Trucks has spent years fueling film crews all across Columbia, South Carolina. When you book our food truck catering for studios in Columbia, every break is on schedule and every plate is emptied.
Our local team partners with your production coordinator to design rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew excited—think Carolina Cookin'’s soft-shell crab & grits on Monday, Mardi Gras Tyme’s New-Orleans-style jambalaya on Tuesday, and a mid-week cool-down of shaved ice from Kona Ice - Columbia. We’ll even bring in crowd-pleasers like crispy chicken boxes from T&J's Deliciousness or the rainbow scoops of Ken's Famous Italian Ice for those famously hot Columbia afternoons.
Best Food Trucks handles every logistical detail—scouting the easiest pull-up spots at Riverfront Park, arranging whisper-quiet generators so sound can keep rolling, verifying permits and insurance with the City of Columbia, and issuing a transparent cost breakdown that keeps the line-producer smiling.
Choosing food truck catering also lightens your production’s environmental footprint. Our vendors cook to order, so there’s less leftover food, fewer disposable pans, and minimal packaging—exactly the kind of green practice the South Carolina Film Commission loves to see.
Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your Columbia studio set. You shoot the scene; we’ll feed the team.
Fueling Columbia’s Small Businesses—One Film Set at a Time
Booking food truck catering for your Columbia studio doesn’t just satisfy hungry crew members—it keeps the Soda City economy rolling. Nearly every truck we dispatch is a family-run operation that you’ve seen parked at the Saturday Soda City Market on Main Street or tailgating at Williams-Brice on game day. When you invite them onto your soundstage, you’re funneling production dollars straight into Midlands small businesses instead of a national conglomerate.
And talk about a “famously hot” win-win: modern food trucks draw far less electricity than a traditional craft-services kitchen and eliminate mountains of disposable chafing pans. Many Columbia vendors—like solar-powered Kona Ice Columbia—run energy-efficient equipment and compostable serviceware, keeping the Congaree River cleaner for that wrap-party kayak trip.
So the next time the line producer Googles “low-budget film catering near me,” remember that Best Food Trucks delivers delicious, eco-smart meals while boosting the local business community. That’s studio catering Columbia can be proud of.

That was just about the best chicken I have ever had. The crunch, the taste, the moisture was all delicious.

The food was delicious The fries were good and I was late picking up so if I was on time and the food was hot I can't imagine how scrumptious it all would have been. I had the briscuit and my husband had the Philly cheese steak and they were both filling enough that we could save half each for tomorrow's lunch. I got an order of boom boom sauce just so I could know whether I should order the sandwich that has it the next time. I think I will; it has just enough of a kick, but not too much that it will cause me heartburn. Loved it.

The spice levels were 1-5 I chose 1 (I don't like very spicy foods). However, I found it to be quite spicy which is why I rated it a four. Otherwise the food was very well made.

The jerk chicken taco and vegan carnitas taco were both so good and fresh. The service at the truck was very friendly and quick.

Very kind to warm up my fries at pickup since my coworkers picked it up at late and it was delicious!

Everything was very good as well as fresh. I think the burger could have used more seasoning but that is only a preference and not a negative.

The french fries were good but overly salty. . . The truck arrived an hour & half or more late after we already ordered and paid around 5:30! Customers were not notified of when they were arriving.

The service is consistently incredible and the flavor, fresheness and amount of food was perfect. I was craving tacos for weeks and knew I would be satisfied ordering from Moms Tacos!

Turkey wrap was fresh as well as the pasta salad. Many times the pasta salad is "wilted and soggy" via other venues; NoT the case with Livvi's--everything was perfect, including the hospitality!!

Everything was good. Cranberry's and nuts would have have been great in the chicken salad sandwhich. It was still very good! Loved the pasta salad
