Hot, Customizable Meals for Gainesville Studios—Ready When the Director Calls “Cut!”

Whether you’re filming a commercial on Main Street, shooting an indie flick near Depot Park, or producing Gator athletics content right off University Avenue, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable studio catering in Gainesville, FL. Our team has fed crews from pre-dawn call times to late-night wrap parties, all while keeping things flavorful, fast, and within budget.

We’ll partner with your production staff to build rotating daily menus that please everyone—from vegan grip to barbecue-loving DP. We coordinate the ideal service spots, whether that’s outside Visionary Studios in Innovation District or in the spacious lots near Gainesville Regional Airport. Ordering and pickup are streamlined through our online system, and every vendor is vetted for Alachua County permits and insurance.

Food truck catering is also a sustainable choice: fewer disposable pans, less food waste, and minimal generator idling. That means smaller footprints on set and bigger applause from Mother Nature.

Ready to roll cameras and tacos? Sample some local Gainesville favorites your crew will love:

  • Blueline Q – slow-smoked barbecue that turns every lunch break into a tailgate worthy of the Gator Nation.
  • Rancho Luna Food Truck – American comfort classics perfect for cozying up during those North Florida night shoots.
  • Tommyknockers Mobile Kitchen – Southern comfort staples that taste like a weekend down in Paynes Prairie.
  • A – vibrant African flavors bringing international flair to your Gainesville set.
  • Impact Island Cafe Food Truck – Caribbean bites that make you feel the breeze of Cedar Key without leaving craft services.

Let Best Food Trucks handle studio catering for your Gainesville production—one less thing for you to storyboard.

Fueling Gainesville’s Creative Economy—One Food Truck at a Time

Booking a food truck for your Gainesville studio shoot does more than keep the cast and crew happy—it keeps money circulating right here in the 352. Every truck we dispatch is a family- or owner-operated small business, from the pit-master who honed his craft at UF tailgates to the baker rolling Cuban bread just off SW 13th Street. When your production pays them, that revenue goes back into Alachua County farms, local suppliers, and neighborhood storefronts.

Mobile kitchens are also a greener choice for on-set catering. Trucks run on compact, energy-efficient equipment, eliminate the need for disposable hotel pans, and leave a smaller carbon footprint than traditional buffet lines. Our vendors follow the City of Gainesville’s recycling guidelines and carry eco-friendly serviceware, so your shoot at the Hippodrome or a soundstage off Waldo Road stays sustainable from first call to final wrap.

Searching “low-budget film catering near me” while the camera batteries charge? Call Best Food Trucks instead. You’ll get crowd-pleasing meals, support Gainesville’s small-business scene, and keep your production as eco-conscious as a stroll through Sweetwater Wetlands Park.

The brisket melt is absolutely delicious. We loved the seasoning on the fresh cut fries. This is definitely our favorite sandwich truck that comes to Talavera.

I was just a little disappointed that they didn't have the chess pie that I had ordered. The red beans and rice were really good.

The turkey burger was good. I don't eat onions and have allergies to that so I scraped them off. There wasn't a space to request ti have them removed. Perhaps, an "instructions" space can be added for that particular burger as well. Many have allergies to foods. Thank you!🙂

Truck was great, would like a lid for the pudding to carry a little easier. And would like more trucks with healthier options
