Portland, ME Studio Catering: Piping-Hot, Fully Custom Meals on Your Schedule
Whether you’re filming a winter scene on Commercial Street or blocking out a sunrise shot near Portland Head Light, your crew still needs to eat—fast. Best Food Trucks has spent years feeding production teams, and now we’re bringing that expertise to every soundstage and back-lot in Portland, Maine. From Casco Bay to the Old Port, we handle the entire food truck catering process so your AD can keep the call sheet tight and your talent stays happy.
We’ll work hand-in-hand with your production office to build rotating daily menus, pinpoint the perfect curb space for service (yes, we know which streets allow a 26-footer), streamline pre-orders and walk-ups, verify permits & COIs, and deliver a crystal-clear cost breakdown that keeps you on budget. Food truck catering isn’t just convenient—it slashes food and packaging waste, helping keep our beloved Pine Tree State green.
Need local flavor? Check out some Portland favorites we frequently book for studio lots:
- PB&ME – American comfort classics that turn a simple peanut-butter sandwich into crew-fueling magic.
- Mainely Hotdogs – Accessory items and artisan dogs perfect for a quick bite between takes.
- Lucky Lou's Portland – Authentic Greek street food like gyros and souvlaki, ideal for warming up a chilly Back Cove night shoot.
- Frozen Rooster – Hand-crafted ice cream to keep morale high when the lights are burning late.
- Maine-ly Meatballs – Hearty meatball subs and bowls that satisfy even the grumpiest gaffer.
Let Best Food Trucks remove the mealtime stress so you can focus on capturing that perfect shot of the sunrise over Peaks Island. When it comes to studio food truck catering in Portland, ME, we’ve got the script—and the seasoned grills—ready to roll.
Fueling Portland’s Indie Economy
Booking a food truck for your studio shoot isn’t just the tastiest decision on set—it’s a vote for Portland’s tight-knit community of makers. Nearly every truck that pulls up outside your soundstage is owned by a Munjoy Hill neighbor, a Deering Center family, or a culinary grad who cut their teeth at the Portland Farmers’ Market. Your catering dollars circulate right back into Cumberland County, keeping the wharves busy and the sidewalks along Congress Street vibrant.
Food trucks are also one of the most sustainable catering options available. Because they cook to order in compact kitchens, they burn far less propane and electricity than a conventional craft-services build-out, and they roll away with minimal single-use packaging. That means fewer trash runs to ecomaine and a lighter carbon footprint drifting over Casco Bay.
So the next time the production coordinator types “studio food truck catering Portland ME” or “low-budget film catering near me” into their phone, send them our way. Best Food Trucks will connect you with the local rolling restaurants that keep Portland delicious, green, and camera-ready.

This was my first time looking into getting a food truck on site to feed our employees. You guys made it very easy and so did Paul, with Doc E's BBQ! The food was delicious and everyone I talked to say the same! The portions were perfect and was a very easy process. I had the pulled pork with slaw on top for my first plate and then later on Paul gave us a pan of ribs that were phenomenal!

The churros were absolutely delicious - fresh, warm, perfectly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside! The team was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience so fun. Such a great addition to any event, and our guests loved it. Highly recommend!

I had so many employees come up and tell me how great the food was and how wonderful the food truck employees were! We ended up with a lot more people attending our picnic than we had originally planned on and both Wiseguy and High On Tacos were more than accommodating with the overflow.

We had Wiseguy food truck out at our summer company picnic and they were a huge hit! We'll definitely book them again!

Order was done earlier than scheduled, food was delicious, we had them take tots off the order and they reimbursed us for the tots on both orders. This is our fav food truck! Nicely done, we will be back!

The macaroni and cheese was cooked perfectly, the cheese had a great flavor, and the bacon was nice and crispy. There was a great amount of bacon for the topping, and I felt like the portion of macaroni and cheese was decent. I will definitely order from this food truck the next time I want to try the brisket.

Fave part: All of it! The whole experience. The aroma hits first as I walk towards the truck & trailer. Smells SO good! The staff is next - they are professional & courteous. The pizza is simply delicious. Best pizza I have had. All the flavors and ingredients are balanced. Perfect!
