Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Columbia Studio Set!
Whether your cameras are rolling near Five Points, Main Street, or along the banks of the Congaree, Best Food Trucks brings the most reliable food truck catering for Studio productions in Columbia, South Carolina. Our local team understands the demanding pace of film and TV shoots: early call-times, quick turnarounds, and the need to keep cast and crew happy (and on budget).
We’ll partner with you to create rotating daily menus that highlight Columbia favorites—think Lowcountry-inspired shrimp from Carolina Cookin', authentic Cajun spice courtesy of Mardi Gras Tyme, tropical treats from Kona Ice - Columbia, gourmet franks via The Haute Dog Lady, and sweet relief from Ken's Famous Italian Ice. Every truck is vetted for City of Columbia permits and $1M+ liability insurance, so you can focus on the next shot, not paperwork.
Our crew scouts the ideal service spots—whether that’s the back lot at South Carolina ETV Studios or a pop-up base camp near Riverbanks Zoo—then streamlines ordering with our digital queue system. No more long lunch lines; your grips can grab plates as soon as they’re released from set. Plus, food truck catering dramatically reduces single-use packaging and food waste, aligning with Columbia’s growing green-production initiatives.
From detailed cost analyses that protect your production budget to menu flexibility that satisfies even the pickiest gaffer, Best Food Trucks is Columbia’s trusted partner for studio catering. Let us handle mealtime logistics, so you can keep your lens on that perfect Soda City skyline shot.
Supporting Columbia’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking a food truck for your Columbia studio shoot does more than satisfy hungry cast and crew—it funnels dollars straight back into the Midlands economy. Nearly every truck in the Best Food Trucks network is a Gamecock-owned solo venture or a tight-knit family operation based right here in Soda City. From the husband-and-wife team at The Haute Dog Lady grilling on Devine Street to the father-and-son crew behind Carolina Cookin’ sourcing produce from City Roots Farm, your catering budget powers local dreams, not distant shareholders.
Food truck catering for studio productions in Columbia is also an eco-smart choice. Trucks run lean kitchens that draw less energy than a traditional craft-service tent, and our digital ordering queue slashes paper waste. Many vendors even compost on-site or use compostable serviceware in line with the City of Columbia’s Green Business Pledge.
So next time you type “low-budget film catering near me” while scouting locations on Main Street or at BullStreet District, remember: a Columbia food truck keeps lunch exciting, your footprint lighter, and our local entrepreneurs rolling. Tap Best Food Trucks and taste the most socially responsible—and downright delicious—way to keep your production moving.

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
