Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Columbia Studio Set!
Whether your cameras are rolling at Indie Grits Labs on Main Street, a commercial shoot in The Vista, or a late-night scene near the historic South Carolina State House, Best Food Trucks is Columbia’s trusted partner for studio and film crew catering. Our team has spent years dialing in the perfect flow for food truck catering for studios in Columbia, so your cast and crew can grab a fresh, local meal and get back on set fast.
We work hand-in-hand with your production office to:
- Create rotating daily menus that keep even the pickiest Midlands eaters excited.
- Scout the best service spots—whether that’s a tight alley in Five Points or the spacious back lot at Carolina Studios.
- Streamline online ordering and no-contact pickup so you stay on schedule.
- Verify every vendor’s permits, insurance, and DHEC compliance.
- Provide a clear cost analysis that protects your production budget.
Columbia’s own fleet brings the flavor: savor Lowcountry seafood from Carolina Cookin', kick up the Cajun heat with Mardi Gras Tyme, treat the crew to cupcakes from T&J's Deliciousness, or cool everyone down with shaved-ice favorites Kona Ice - Columbia and Ken's Famous Italian Ice.
Choosing food trucks for your Columbia studio catering cuts down on wasteful buffets and single-use packaging—good for the planet and great for your wrap report. Let Best Food Trucks handle the meals, so you can focus on the movie magic.
Fueling Columbia’s Small Businesses—One Set at a Time
Every time you roll a Best Food Trucks vehicle onto your set, you’re pumping dollars straight back into the Soda City community. Most of the trucks we book are owned by USC alumni, Fort Jackson veterans, or long-time Midlands families who have turned their recipes into roving restaurants. From a husband-and-wife team slinging pulled-pork sliders on Devine Street to a single-mom chef serving vegan grain bowls on Gervais, these are real Columbians chasing their culinary dreams—and your production keeps them rolling.
Choosing food truck catering for studios in Columbia is also a greener call sheet decision. Trucks idle for far less time than box-lunch delivery vans, draw minimal power from quiet onboard generators, and our digital ordering cuts out mountains of paper. Fewer chafing dishes, fewer plastic lids, and zero Styrofoam trays mean leaner trash runs and happier location managers.
So the next time your PA is Googling “low-budget film catering near me” at 2 a.m., tell them to tap Best Food Trucks. You’ll get hot, crowd-pleasing meals, support Columbia’s small-business backbone, and keep your production’s carbon footprint lighter than a Palmetto breeze.

We had a great experience with TNT Mexican Grill. The food was delicious, service was fast and organized, and the team handled our group efficiently. They took orders quickly and served everyone in a timely manner, which made the event run smoothly. The only small suggestion would be to have a separate table for churros and napkins, as they were a bit hard to see and grab from the service window. Overall, excellent service and great food. We would definitely work with them again.

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!!
