Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Raleigh-Durham Studio Set
Whether you’re rolling cameras at UNC TV in Research Triangle Park, blocking a scene in Durham’s historic American Tobacco Campus, or shooting B-roll in downtown Raleigh’s Warehouse District, Best Food Trucks delivers studio food truck catering Raleigh-Durham film crews rave about. Our on-set experience keeps your meal breaks on schedule and your cast and crew happy.
We partner with some of the Triangle’s most popular mobile kitchens to create rotating daily menus that satisfy vegan extras, barbecue-loving gaffers, and everyone in between. Favorites include authentic Mexican street eats from Poblanos Tacos, Mediterranean comfort food from the legendary Mama Voula's, Southern-inspired bites at Shmack'n Plates Bistro, bold Mexican-fusion plates from La Republica, and crowd-pleasing tacos from El Jefecito.
Our local team scouts the best service locations—whether that’s a tucked-away loading dock near Hillsborough Street or a gravel lot off Fayetteville Street—and coordinates permitting and insurance so you don’t have to. Crews order ahead on their phones, pick up piping-hot meals in minutes, and get back to set before “rolling!” even echoes across the soundstage.
From detailed cost analyses that fit your production budget to eco-friendly service that slashes food and packaging waste, Best Food Trucks removes the guesswork from studio catering in Raleigh and Durham. You handle the storyboard; we’ll handle breakfast, lunch, and crafty. Lights, camera, lunchtime!
Fueling Film Sets & the Triangle’s Small Businesses
Booking a Raleigh–Durham studio food truck does more than silence rumbling stomachs between takes—it pours money right back into the Triangle’s independent economy. Nearly every truck we curate is run by a local family or solo chef who lives in neighborhoods like Oakwood, Southpoint, or Cary’s MacGregor Downs. When your production chooses on-set food truck catering, you’re helping that pit-master upgrade his smoker, that Venezuelan arepa maker hire an extra line cook, and that NC State alum finally open her own commissary kitchen.
Film crews also appreciate that food trucks are a greener alternative to traditional buffet lines. Modern rigs idle on efficient generators, their digital ordering cuts paper waste, and the compostable serve-ware we require keeps single-use plastics out of Falls Lake and the Eno. It’s a win-win: you stay on budget with quick, flavorful meals, and Raleigh–Durham stays cleaner and more vibrant for your next shoot.
So the next time your production assistant googles “low-budget film catering near me” while scouting sets on Fayetteville Street or the American Tobacco Trail, send them our way. Best Food Trucks will keep your cast, crew, and community thriving—one delicious plate at a time.

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!

It was delicious, but the food could've been hotter when we received it.

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.
