Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Gainesville Studio Crew
Producing in Gainesville means long days on set, from the bustling sound stages near UF’s Innovation District to the indie shoots out by historic Depot Park. Keep your cast and crew energized with locally loved food truck catering that’s fast, flexible, and downright delicious. Best Food Trucks has spent years feeding film and TV teams across the country—now we bring that expertise home to the Swamp.
Our Gainesville studio catering program is built around rotating daily menus that highlight beloved local trucks such as smoky barbecue from Blueline Q, hearty American comfort plates from Rancho Luna Food Truck, stick-to-your-ribs Southern fare by Tommyknockers Mobile Kitchen, bold African flavors at A, and island vibes courtesy of Impact Island Cafe Food Truck. Whether it’s a sunrise call time on Payne’s Prairie or a night shoot downtown, we’ll craft a lineup that satisfies vegans, carnivores, and everyone in between.
Best Food Trucks handles every detail: we scout the best serving spots for your production footprint, coordinate permits and insurance with the City of Gainesville, streamline mobile ordering so your AD never has to chase down lunch tickets, and deliver a transparent cost analysis that stays on budget. Food truck catering reduces food and packaging waste too—so your Gainesville studio can keep it green while you capture the perfect scene.
From quick craft-services snacks to full-service meal breaks, let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime. Focus on getting that perfect shot; we’ll keep the Gator Nation’s hungriest crew members happy and on schedule.
Supporting Gainesville’s Small Businesses, One Food Truck at a Time
Every time you roll a Gainesville food truck onto your studio lot, you’re investing directly in the home-grown talent that makes our city special. Most Gainesville trucks are run by solo chefs, husband-and-wife teams, or recent UF grads chasing their culinary dream instead of a corporate paycheck. Your order for a wrap party at Heartwood Soundstage or a marathon shoot off Newberry Road keeps their burners lit and their kids in orange and blue.
Unlike fly-in caterers, these mobile kitchens buy their produce from the Alachua County Farmers Market, smoke their brisket with local pecan wood, and hire Gators for weekend prep. That means every taco, vegan bowl, or plate of fried green tomatoes sends dollars right back into the Gainesville economy.
Food truck catering is also an eco-smart choice for studio productions. Trucks draw less power than a tented buffet line, arrive with compostable serving ware, and leave little more than tire tracks when the last scene wraps. Less waste on set keeps Payne’s Prairie pristine—and keeps your sustainability report looking sharp.
So the next time you Google “low-budget film catering Gainesville” or “studio food trucks near me,” remember that Best Food Trucks connects you with the city’s most creative rolling restaurants. Book a truck, feed your crew, and give Gainesville’s small businesses another reason to keep on cooking.

Fresher ingredients. The tomatoes was kinda not fresh - like the skin was separating from the flesh. Maybe more veggies, as well. Overall it was good.

Mr. Gourmet Sausage was AWESOME! They arrived with plenty of time to set-up, kept me up to date on the number of guests served, and were super courteous to our guests. Best Food Trucks made the booking very easy and were so pleasant to work with.
