Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Traverse City Studio
Whether you’re filming along East Front Street, staging a shoot near the historic State Theatre, or wrapping a scene at the old Traverse City State Hospital grounds, Best Food Trucks delivers fresh, studio food truck catering in Traverse City that keeps cast and crew fueled and happy.
Our local team understands the unique pace of productions in Northern Michigan. We create rotating daily menus that highlight regional flavors—think Leelanau cherries, fresh Lake Michigan whitefish, and locally grown asparagus—while still covering every dietary need on set. Early call time? We’ll have breakfast tacos ready before sunrise. Late-night shoot? Expect comfort-food pierogi piping hot at midnight.
Here’s how we make studio catering effortless:
- Menu Planning: We work with you to craft balanced meals for every shooting day, no matter how dynamic your schedule.
- Strategic Truck Placement: From the Civic Center Park lots to the backroads near the Old Mission Peninsula orchards, we scout the optimal service spots so your crew is never far from their next bite.
- Streamlined Ordering & Pickup: Cast and crew can order ahead on their phones and grab their food in minutes—perfect when the director calls a quick break.
- Compliance Handled: We vet every vendor for Traverse City health permits, insurance, and fire codes, so you don’t have to.
- Transparent Budgeting: Receive a detailed cost summary that respects your production budget and reduces surprise expenses.
Food trucks also shrink your environmental footprint—less catering waste means a greener set and a cleaner Grand Traverse Bay.
Some Traverse City favorites ready to roll up to your studio:
- Lost Village Pierogi: The Polished Cuban Grill – Polish comfort classics and Cubano flair served steaming hot for chilly lakeshore mornings.
- King Wubbz – Street-style tacos loaded with local produce and house-made salsas, perfect for a quick refuel between takes.
Let Best Food Trucks handle your Traverse City studio catering so you can focus on capturing that perfect shot of the sunset over West Bay. Contact us today and take the guesswork out of mealtime on set.
Fueling Your Shoot—and Traverse City’s Small Businesses
Every time you book Best Food Trucks for studio food truck catering in Traverse City, you’re doing more than feeding a hungry crew— you’re pouring money right back into the local economy. Nearly all of our trucks are owned by Grand Traverse area families and solo entrepreneurs who source ingredients from neighbors like Gallagher’s Farm Market, Grocer’s Daughter Chocolate, and the fishermen at Harbor Dock. Your production dollars help them keep their griddles hot long after the cameras stop rolling.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to the diesel-guzzling, single-use-plastic buffets of yesterday. Because our kitchens are compact and energy-efficient, they burn less fuel, create less food waste, and leave fewer disposables floating down the Boardman River. It’s a sustainable choice the crew can feel good about—even on a budget.
So next time you’re Googling “low-budget film catering near me” from a set on Old Mission Peninsula, remember: with Best Food Trucks you’ll serve killer meals, support Traverse City small businesses, and keep our bays blue—all in one call.

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!

Don't run out of German potato salad so early in the evening. We placed our order before 5:00 for a 5:20 pick up and they were already out of it.
