Hot, Customizable Meals for Detroit Studios—Delivered Right on Cue!
Whether you’re shooting B-roll on the Riverwalk, blocking scenes in a Corktown warehouse, or staging car chases near the old Packard Plant, Best Food Trucks brings first-class food truck catering for studios in Detroit directly to your set. Our Motor City team coordinates everything: rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew excited, strategically placed service zones that fit your call sheet, and a friction-free ordering system that keeps the lunch line moving faster than a Woodward Avenue streetcar.
We handle all the behind-the-scenes logistics—permits, insurance, and health inspections—so you can stay focused on lighting and lenses. You’ll also receive a clear, line-item cost report that fits your production budget. Plus, food trucks create far less packaging and food waste than traditional craft services, making your shoot a little greener along the banks of the Detroit River.
Craving bold flavors to keep energy high between takes? Book hometown favorites like the crave-worthy Indian comfort food from Paradise Street Eats, street-style tacos from Da Bomb Taco or Tacos Hernandez Food Truck, over-stuffed sandwiches from the legendary Detroit 75 Kitchen, or West African specialties from Waka Street Food. With Best Food Trucks, every meal break feels like a mini food festival right on set.
From sunrise call times to late-night wrap parties, let Best Food Trucks eliminate the guesswork from mealtime for your Detroit studio production. One less worry, one more reason the dailies will look (and taste) great.
Fueling Detroit’s Creative Economy—One Food Truck at a Time
Every time you book food truck catering for your Detroit studio, you’re not just keeping stomachs full between takes—you’re investing in Motown’s next success story. Most of our trucks are run by solo chefs and tight-knit family teams from neighborhoods like Midtown, Hamtramck, and Grandmont Rosedale. Your order puts real dollars back into the local economy, the same way a vinyl press keeps spinning at Third Man Records.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart choice. Because they cook to order on the truck, they burn far less energy than a traditional craft-services kitchen and slash single-use packaging. Many of our Detroit partners source produce straight from Eastern Market and compost food scraps through city programs—so your shoot stays green while the Red Wings keep the ice clean.
Searching for “low-budget film catering near me” that still feels five-star? Let Best Food Trucks roll up with a socially responsible spread that keeps your cast and crew hyped all day long—and keeps Detroit’s small-business engine roaring.

The food was delicious!! And the quantity was better than I expected so guests were definitely full! I didn't give it 5 stars because even with the guest total known, some people were waiting between 30-50 minutes for the food. Luckily, we had enough time at the event and my friends were easy going about it so it was ok. Also, the main chef had a teenager it seemed helping him and she was very quickly overwhelmed and obviously unhappy so it made for a potentially unpleasant experience but as I said, my dear friends were super understanding and the food tasted GREAT so it didn't become a point of disappointment.

The seasoning of the Shrimps, the tenderness of the tenders. The crispness of the fries. Just would've wanted more seasoning on the fries. Delicious

The brisket tacos were phenomenal. The sandwiches were also very good, a little saucier than my preference but I like little to no sauce, that's not a reflection of you guys, but it is all is very delicious.

Make pictures more appealing- that was a large problem last night. You need a photographer or something to make those pictures were artistic . The pictures of the Philly cheesesteak do not look good and the burgers all look wilted. The taste of the food is not translating in the pictures. Your onion rings are delicious. Chicken fingers are average. You need a honey mustard dipping sauce. Cheeseburger was very good - add a pickle spear on the side. Fries were average Also add more choices than just Coke - and maybe you have them, but it doesn't show up on line.
