Hot, Customizable Meals for Columbia Studios—Ready When You Call “Lunch!”
Whether you’re shooting a feature downtown near the South Carolina State House, filming an indie by the Congaree River, or producing a commercial on the University of South Carolina campus, Best Food Trucks is Columbia’s trusted partner for on-set food truck catering. Our crew understands how tight production schedules can be, so we make sure every meal break runs smoother than a take on the first call.
We collaborate with your line producer to build rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew excited. Think Lowcountry favorites from Carolina Cookin', spicy Cajun classics from Mardi Gras Tyme, over-the-top comfort dogs from The Haute Dog Lady, smoky barbecue plates courtesy of RB Top Chef Mobile Kitchen & Catering, and a sweet wrap party cool-down with Ken's Famous Italian Ice. Every truck is fully vetted for permits, insurance, and ServeSafe certifications, so you never have to worry about compliance on set.
We’ll help you pinpoint the best parking spot—whether that’s tucked behind a soundstage in the BullStreet District or beside a location shoot in Five Points—then streamline mobile ordering and rapid pick-up so your AD doesn’t have to extend the lunch window. Detailed cost summaries and real-time spend analysis keep your budget in check while eco-friendly service ware and portion planning reduce food and packaging waste across the Midlands.
From sunrise call times to late-night wrap shots, trust Best Food Trucks to handle studio food truck catering in Columbia. You focus on getting the perfect shot; we’ll make sure everyone’s fed, happy, and back on set faster than you can say, “That’s a wrap!”
Fueling Columbia’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking a food truck for your studio shoot in Columbia isn’t just the tastiest way to feed the crew—it’s an investment in our local economy. The trucks that line Main Street for Soda City Market or serve Gamecock fans outside Williams-Brice Stadium are the very same family-owned rigs that can roll up behind your soundstage. Every taco, brisket plate, or vegan bowl you order keeps revenue circulating right here in the Midlands and helps home-grown entrepreneurs thrive.
Food truck catering is also gentler on the planet than traditional buffet service. Each truck arrives self-contained, using less power, less water, and far fewer disposables. They cook to order, which means slimmer food waste numbers—something both your production accountant and the City of Columbia’s sustainability office will appreciate.
So when someone hops on comms asking for “low-budget film catering near me,” call Best Food Trucks. We’ll connect your set with a local Columbia food truck that keeps cast, crew, and small businesses rolling—deliciously, responsibly, and right on schedule.

The food was incredibly tasty and the portions were large - enough left over for lunch tomorrow. There aren't many creole trucks out there so knocking it out of the park flavor-wise was great!

Delicious food, ready for pickup exactly when promised, and friendly, welcoming folks running the operation. I hope they return to Greyhawk Landing.

Food was delicious but I have a feeling I got someone else's order. Be careful with your online orders.

Everything was great but no one knew they could get a cookie, the sign for the type of pizza's and the cookie was not very visible. The team did a great job, food was hot and delicious (salad very good). We had some happy campers.

Have the pick-up window labeled so people who pre-order can go straight up to the window instead of being overlooked as someone who hasn't ordered yet or someone who is waiting for their food order.

I would put messaging in the text alerts to: let the staff know when you have arrived and provide your order number. I waited 15 min. Not realizing that. Thank you

I received a text saying it was ready and then when I got there they made me wait ten more minutes for it and it was the 3rd order of the day and on the counter the whole time. It's not hot anymore. Food would be better still warm
