Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Columbia Studio
Running a production in the heart of Soda City? Whether you’re filming along Main Street, capturing sunset shots on the banks of the Congaree, or turning a warehouse in Cayce into the next blockbuster set, Best Food Trucks delivers on-time, crowd-pleasing food truck catering for studios in Columbia, SC. Our team has fed crews from indie shoots near Five Points to national commercials at the South Carolina State House, so we know all the local permitting quirks and the quickest routes to get hot meals on location fast.
We coordinate every detail: rotating daily menus that keep a two-week shoot fresh, strategic truck placement to avoid blocking equipment lanes, streamlined online ordering, and a transparent cost analysis that respects your production budget. Plus, food trucks slash food and packaging waste—perfect for eco-minded sets filming our region’s lush scenery.
Columbia favorites like Carolina Cookin' (don’t miss their soft-shell crab & grits), Cajun powerhouse Mardi Gras Tyme, summertime staple Ken's Famous Italian Ice, comfort-food queen The Haute Dog Lady, and shaved-ice legend Kona Ice - Columbia are ready to roll up to your base camp and keep cast and crew energized from first call to wrap.
Let Best Food Trucks handle the catering so you can focus on getting the perfect take. Book your Columbia studio food truck lineup today and taste why everyone from Gamecock alumni to Hollywood A-listers love eating local on set.
Fueling Columbia’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Every time you book a food truck for your studio set, you’re keeping Columbia’s creative engine humming right alongside your own production. Most of the rigs that roll up to Finlay Park for Soda City Market on Saturdays—or park outside a soundstage in Northeast Richland—are owned by solo entrepreneurs, husband-and-wife teams, or proud Gamecock alumni who turned grandma’s recipes into a mobile kitchen. Your catering dollars stay right here in the Midlands, supporting local farms, commissary kitchens, and the mechanics on Two Notch who keep those trucks road-ready.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart alternative to chafing-dish buffets. Fewer generators, leaner prep spaces, and compostable serviceware mean less waste hauled from your base camp back to the landfill off Screaming Eagle Road. It’s a quick win for productions that want a smaller carbon footprint while filming our famously hot city’s scenic rivers and historic districts.
So the next time your production coordinator types “studio food truck catering Columbia” or “low-budget film catering near me,” remember that Best Food Trucks can deliver delicious, locally sourced meals and a positive impact for the community. Book now and let Columbia’s small-business flavor shine through every take.

There were three of us. We all had different foods but all of us loved them-we had one Heat burger with onion rings that both folks loved. One person got the veggie burger-I had a taste and we both loved the flavors. I had the Mediterranean salad. I enjoyed the mixture of ingredients and the unexpected flavors of the broccoli and cauliflower.

Nothing specific, my wife just thought the Sonora steak tacos were ok but nothing special. My 3 mahi mahi tacos tasted great but were cold and I had to heat them in the microwave.

First experience. All was pretty good. Burger was well seasoned, bacon was good. Could have used a bit more of the signature sauce. All in all a good experience
