Hot, Customizable Meals For Your Gainesville Studio Crew
Running a tight production schedule at a Gainesville studio—whether you’re filming near the historic Hippodrome, on campus at UF’s Digital Worlds Institute, or out by Payne’s Prairie—means meal breaks have to be fast, fresh, and unforgettable. Best Food Trucks has spent years perfecting studio food truck catering, and now we’re bringing that expertise to North Central Florida. From location scouting to last-minute call-time changes, we make sure your cast and crew are fueled without slowing down the shoot.
Our team works hand-in-hand with your production office to create rotating daily menus that satisfy vegans, keto followers, and downright picky eaters alike. We’ll:
- Pinpoint the best service location—whether that’s a shady oak on SE 4th Ave or right outside your soundstage off Newberry Road.
- Handle online ordering, pick-up queues, and contact-free drop-offs so your AD never hears, “Where’s lunch?”
- Verify permits, insurance, and health scores for every truck, keeping union guidelines and Gainesville City Codes 30-5 compliant.
- Deliver a clear, line-item cost analysis that respects indie-film budgets and big-studio accounting alike.
We also keep sustainability in focus: food trucks slash food and packaging waste compared with traditional buffet catering—great news for the nearby springs and wetlands we all love.
Need menu inspiration? Check out some fan-favorite Gainesville trucks ready to roll up to your set:
- Blueline Q – smoky barbecue brisket and ribs that rival any tailgate on game day.
- Rancho Luna Food Truck – American comfort classics, perfect for a cozy night shoot.
- Tommyknockers Mobile Kitchen – Southern comfort plates that would make your grandma say “Go Gators!”
- A – bold African flavors that turn lunch into a cultural adventure.
- Impact Island Cafe Food Truck – Caribbean bites that feel like a wrap party in the Keys.
Let Best Food Trucks handle every detail of your studio’s food truck catering in Gainesville, so you can focus on nailing the next scene.
Fueling Gainesville’s Economy—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking Gainesville food truck catering for your studio set does more than keep bellies full—it keeps the local creative community thriving. Most of the trucks we partner with are run by Gator grads, resident chefs from East Gainesville, and family-owned startups that park weekly at the Union Street Farmers Market. Every plate of mojo pork or farm-fresh veggie bowl you order sends real dollars back into Alachua County’s small-business ecosystem.
Food trucks also check the eco-box. Because they cook to order right on-site, they use far less electricity and refrigeration than a traditional buffet line, and the compostable serviceware we recommend keeps extra plastic out of Paynes Prairie and the Santa Fe River. It’s tasty, local, and lighter on the planet—exactly what a forward-thinking production should be.
So the next time your production coordinator types “low-budget film catering Gainesville” into Google, skip the soggy boxed lunches. Call Best Food Trucks and give your cast and crew a socially responsible meal they’ll actually Insta about.

It was the best gluten-free pizza I've had since New York City and the chocolate Dubai dessert was amazing. I hope they come to Starkey ranch again soon!!

Once home, we discovered that we weren't given the broth that was to accompany the Birrias or the sauce and limes that were to accompany the tacos. Disappointing...
