Fresh, Customizable Studio Catering in Madison, WI
Whether your cameras are rolling on State Street, along the shores of Lake Monona, or inside a sound stage on the UW-Madison campus, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable studio food truck catering in Madison. We’ve spent years feeding film and TV crews, so we know how to keep your talent and techs happy—and on schedule.
Our local team will:
- Design rotating daily menus featuring Madison favorites like Toast (American comfort) and the legendary Say Cheese Curd Company.
- Scout and secure the best service spots, from Capitol Square to the expansive parking lots out by American Family Studios.
- Set up online ordering so your 1st AD can track meal counts faster than you can say “rolling.”
- Vet every truck for City of Madison permits, food-safety certificates, and full insurance coverage.
- Provide a clear cost summary that keeps your production accountant smiling.
Looking for variety? Kick off breakfast with fluffy Liège waffles and locally roasted coffee from All Belgium Waffles - WI, break for a Thai noodle bowl at Thailand in a Truck, and wrap the night shoot with sweet treats from Jakarta Cafe. Our curated lineup guarantees something for every palate, even the most persnickety eater on the call sheet.
Food trucks aren’t just tasty—they’re eco-smart. Mobile kitchens cut down on transport, reduce single-use packaging, and minimize food waste, helping keep Madison’s lakes blue and its skies clear for that perfect establishing shot.
Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your studio. From Lake City to “wrap,” we’ve got catering covered—so you can focus on getting the shot.
Fueling Madison’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Choosing studio food truck catering in Madison isn’t just a win for your cast and crew—it’s a direct investment in our city’s independent culinary scene. Most of the trucks we roll onto set are owned by solo entrepreneurs from neighborhoods like Willy Street, Atwood, and the South Side, or by family-run operations that got their start at the Dane County Farmers’ Market. Every breakfast burrito, cheese-curd po’ boy, or vegan banh mi you order keeps dollars circulating right here in Madison’s local economy.
Food trucks are also a smart choice for eco-friendly studio catering. Mobile kitchens draw less power than a traditional craft-services tent, and our vendors are pros at composting through the City of Madison’s food-scrap program and using reusable serving ware when your set allows. Fewer generators humming means quieter audio takes on set and fewer emissions drifting over Lake Mendota.
Bottom line: the next time you Google “low-budget film catering Madison” or “studio food truck near me,” remember that Best Food Trucks can feed your crew while keeping the Isthmus green and supporting the small businesses that make our city deliciously unique. Ready to roll? Give us a call, and let’s park some local flavor right outside your sound stage.

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.

The food was absolutely amazing—the meats were tender and smoky, and every side dish was flavorful. The service team was outstandingly professional, friendly, and efficient, ensuring all our guests were served quickly and with a smile. Most importantly, the entire event went off without a single issue. Sweet Magnolia Smokehouse delivered incredible food and zero stress, making them the absolute highlight of our day!
