Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Rhode Island Studio Set!
Whether you’re filming in Providence’s Knowledge District, capturing coastal shots in Newport, or setting up a soundstage in Pawtucket, Best Food Trucks delivers the most dependable food truck catering for studios in Rhode Island. We’ve spent years feeding film and TV crews across the Ocean State, so we know exactly how to keep your cast and crew fueled between takes—without blowing the budget or the schedule.
Our local team will work with your production office to craft rotating daily menus that celebrate Rhode Island favorites—think coffee milk-infused waffles, grilled cheese with Narragansett beer cheddar, and legit backyard BBQ that tastes like a Block Island summer. We’ll map out optimal service locations (from the East Side of Providence to the steps of Fort Adams), streamline online ordering and pickup, and vet every vendor for the proper RI health permits and insurance. Before the first camera rolls, you’ll receive a clear cost summary & analysis so there are zero surprises in post.
Food truck catering helps shrink your carbon footprint, too. By cooking to order, our vendors create far less food and packaging waste than traditional craft-service buffets—perfect for productions committed to green filming guidelines.
Need menu inspiration? Check out a few of our Rhode Island all-stars:
- The Burgundian: Coffee and Waffles – Belgian-style waffles drizzled with local coffee milk syrup for a true “Rhody” breakfast.
- Black Dog Donuts – Hand-cut donuts that keep the 5 a.m. call-time crowd smiling.
- No Joke Smoke BBQ – Slow-smoked brisket, pulled pork, and house-made sauces showcasing New England ingredients.
- Fancheezical – Gourmet grilled-cheese melts perfect for a quick walk-away lunch on set.

Supporting Rhode Island’s Small Businesses—One Set at a Time
Booking Best Food Trucks for your production isn’t just the smartest move for on-time, on-budget meals—it’s an instant investment in Rhode Island’s small-business community. Every truck we send to your Providence soundstage or Newport cliff-side shoot is owned by a local family or solo entrepreneur from places like Cranston, Warwick, or East Providence. When you choose food truck catering for studios in Rhode Island, your catering dollars stay right here in the Ocean State, fueling neighborhood economies and helping mom-and-pop operators grow faster than a Quonset Point tide.
Our vendors source ingredients from Farm Fresh RI markets, Narragansett Bay fisheries, and Johnston greenhouses, so your cast and crew enjoy ultra-fresh menus while local farmers and fishers get paid. Plus, trucks run on high-efficiency propane or generators and follow Rhode Island Resource Recovery recycling and compost guidelines, cutting waste compared with old-school craft-service buffets. It’s delicious, sustainable, and totally “Rhody.” Searching “low-budget film catering near me”? Tap Best Food Trucks and give your production an eco-friendly, socially responsible edge—along with the best plates in New England.

I wish there was another slice of tomato on my loaded grilled cheese, it was a lot of bread. The kale salad was very tasty. Thanks

The only thing we would not order again is the Barbacoa tacos. Expected them to be more finely shredded. The meat was a little tough. Everything else was great!

More accurate timeline to have the food ready. My grandkids waited 45 mins after being told it would be 10 minutes
