Hot, Customizable Meals for Every New York Studio Set
Whether you’re shooting a feature in Steiner Studios, rolling tape at Silvercup, or lighting a late-night TV segment in Midtown, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable food truck catering for studios in New York City. Our local team understands the fast pace of NYC production life—tight call sheets, traffic on the BQE, and last-minute script changes are part of the deal. Your meal breaks shouldn’t add more stress.
We’ll partner with your production office to build rotating daily menus, schedule staggered service windows for different departments, and identify the perfect curbspace near your stage door (yes, we know every NYPD Film & TV Unit permit trick in the book). From order-ahead QR pickup to on-set runners, we streamline the entire process so talent, crew, and background can grab hot food fast—and get right back to rolling.
Budget concerns? We provide a transparent cost breakdown and real-time spend tracking, so your accounting team can wrap without overages. And because our trucks cook to order, you’ll see far less food and packaging waste than traditional buffet lines—an eco-win that keeps both the planet and your studio’s sustainability office happy.
Fan-Favorite NYC Food Trucks Ready for Your Next Shoot
Yankee Doodle Dandy's serves all-American comfort classics such as the Love Me Tender Chicken Sandwich and Buffalo Soldier—perfect for keeping grips and gaffers fueled during those overnight exterior shots in Long Island City.
Cue the wrap-party sugar rush with the legendary Carvel Ice Cream Truck, dishing out soft-serve cones and Flying Saucers that New Yorkers have loved since 1929.
Need a slice between takes? Jiannetto's Pizza brings award-winning grandma-style Sicilian squares straight to your loading dock—crispy, cheesy, and ideal for one-handed eating while you’re resetting lights.
Nothing crushes midday hunger like a juicy burger from Smash Burger. Their Angus patties with melty cheddar and signature Smash sauce have become a staple on Brooklyn soundstages.
Introduce the crew to authentic Ethiopian-Eritrean flavors with MAKINA Cafe. Injera platters, sambusas, and vibrant veggie sides add a global twist to any production’s craft-services lineup.
From Queens backlots to SoHo lofts, Best Food Trucks is the quickest way to lock in New York studio catering that’s on time, on budget, and on brand. Let us handle the food so you can keep the cameras rolling.
Fueling Your Shoot—and NYC’s Small Businesses
Booking food truck catering for your New York studio does more than satisfy cast and crew—it keeps the city’s entrepreneurial heartbeat alive. Most of the trucks we roll up to Steiner Studios, Silvercup, or a SoHo loft are run by first-generation families from Queens, the Bronx, and Brooklyn. Every birria taco, halal platter, or black-and-white cookie your team orders pumps dollars back into local produce markets at Hunts Point and repair shops under the 7 train. Feeding your set means feeding the five boroughs, too.
It’s the greener call as well. Parked trucks hook into shore power, slash generator use, and serve meals in compostable containers—no more overflowing craft-services trash cans when the AD yells, “That’s lunch!” So the next time you type “low budget film catering near me” while hustling down the FDR, remember: Best Food Trucks delivers hot meals, a lighter carbon footprint, and a big win for New York’s small-business scene—all in one take.

Food and service was excellent. Arrival of food truck was late. Driver wanted to come half hour earlier (11:30a) to event to prep but ended up showing an hour later (12:30p). Wasn’t able to feed some of my important guests. They missed out on some good food to catch a flight. For the amount of $$ paid, was hoping have event catered on time.

We were very happy with the Smash Burger truck. They showed up on time, were very professional, and the food was delicious. I would hire them again. Thank you!

The pizza taste great but the picture made them look bigger than the pie was and I didn't know I would have order a few more because they were small.

Nashville bourbon cheesesteak.. delicious only suggestion to put queso sauce in a separate container so the bread won't get soggy.

. The boneless wings and fries were really good but the kids burger barely had a meat patty on it. It was almost eating just bread. I know it's a kids burger but it still costs like 9 dollars.

I made a review earlier about their sauces being a little amount, I’ve tried them since and they have made the portion of their sauces much better and the food was amazing again!
