Hot, Customizable Meals Delivered to Your Raleigh-Durham Set
Whether you’re rolling cameras at the WRAL studios in Raleigh, shooting a commercial on Fayetteville Street, or lighting up Durham’s American Tobacco Campus, Best Food Trucks is the Triangle’s go-to partner for studio food truck catering. We’ve spent years keeping film and TV crews on schedule and well fed, and we’re ready to do the same for you.
From pre-dawn call times to late-night wrap parties, our Raleigh-Durham studio catering program is built around speed and flexibility:
- Rotating daily menus that satisfy vegan grips, gluten-free gaffers, and everyone in between.
- On-site planning to identify the best parking spots at your soundstage or remote location.
- Streamlined online ordering and touch-free pickup that keeps your meal break under 30 minutes.
- Full vendor vetting—proper permits, insurance, and health grades are non-negotiable for us.
- Transparent cost summaries so your production accountant in Raleigh or LA never gets a surprise.
Plus, food truck catering creates dramatically less food and packaging waste than traditional buffet lines—something your sustainability coordinator (and Mother Nature) will appreciate.
Local Triangle Favorites Ready to Roll Up to Your Set
Your crew can mix and match from some of the area’s most talked-about trucks:
- Poblanos Tacos – Authentic Mexican favorites and legendary birria tacos that keep camera ops fueled through overtime.
- Mama Voula's – Mediterranean comfort food from a Durham legend; the gyro platters disappear faster than a scene change.
- Shmack'n Plates Bistro – Southern-inspired American bistro fare crafted by Chef Rob Howard, perfect for a hearty lunch on a chilly Carrboro exterior shoot.
- La Republica – Mexican fusion dishes that bring RTP-style innovation straight to your craft-services lot.
- El Jefecito – Street-style tacos and fresh salsas that make second-unit crews wonder why they ever ate boxed lunches.
Let Best Food Trucks handle the meals so you can focus on hitting your marks. Reach out today and discover why production managers across Raleigh-Durham call us the easiest line item on the call sheet.
Supporting Small Businesses Across the Triangle
Choosing a food truck for your Raleigh-Durham studio catering isn’t just a smart way to feed cast and crew—it’s a direct investment in the mom-and-pop operators that make the Triangle’s food scene legendary. Every time you roll a truck onto the lot at Cary’s Epic Games soundstage or into a parking bay at the PBS North Carolina studios, you’re putting revenue into the hands of local, family-run businesses rather than a distant national caterer.
That hometown commitment pays off on set, too. Owners are often behind the window taking orders, which means fresher food, faster adjustments for special diets, and a whole lot more Southern hospitality. From chefs who source collards at the State Farmers Market before a Raleigh dawn shoot to pitmasters who smoke pork over Durham hickory for a late-night wrap, you can taste the local pride in every bite.
Food trucks are also the eco-friendly choice for production catering. Self-contained kitchens use less power than a full commissary build-out, and our single-serving, made-to-order model slashes buffet waste. Pair that with compostable serviceware required by the City of Durham’s “Feed People, Not Landfills” initiative, and your sustainability coordinator will have another box checked.
So the next time “low-budget film catering near me” pops up in your scouting notes, remember that Best Food Trucks can line up Raleigh-Durham’s top rolling kitchens—giving your crew mouth-watering meals, shrinking your carbon footprint, and keeping the Triangle’s small-business economy thriving.

The food was amazing, I had accidentally given them the wrong order number and they were super nice and quick once I realized my mistake. I’d definitely get them again!

Food was good and I would order again. Nothing blew my mind (tho the sauce was quite tasty), but it was a good meal

I hosted an office event that was made wonderful by having Poblanos Taco Truck! The food was DELICIOUS and they were set up to serve 40 people very efficiently. Every one loved the food. Jonathan and his collegue were so friendly! Big Hit! Highly recommend.

El Jefecito was so easy to work with. The tacos were delicious and the churros were out of this world. Our employees kept going back for a second Churro.

Frank and the crew were very friendly and accommodated those with dietary restrictions (GF, vegetarian, etc.) They even decided to set up cash payment so they could service a few other guests from another part of our organization that did not have tickets. The service was pretty fast, despite the line. The food was really good and I had several peoplke comment to me that they enjoyed the food very much. The food truck made the event a complete success, especially on this hot day! I would definitely use them again for another event and I will provide positive feedback to our property managers in hopes they will put Mama Voula's truck on our weekly Tuesday Food Truck rotation.
