Fueling Albany’s Film Sets—and the 518 Economy
Booking studio food truck catering in Albany isn’t just the fastest way to feed a hungry crew—it’s also the easiest way to pour your production dollars back into the Capital Region. Every truck we roll onto set is owned by a 518-proud family or solo entrepreneur who shops at the Troy Farmers Market, hires local staff, and keeps their commissary dollars right here in Albany County.
Compared with traditional buffet service, a food truck kitchen sips electricity, trims food waste, and cuts down on disposable pans—good news for both your sustainability report and the Hudson River. Our vendors run energy-efficient equipment and recycle fryer oil through Albany’s green-waste program, so your shoot can hit its carbon-reduction targets without breaking a sweat.
In short, every taco, burger, or vegan grain bowl served on your set is a vote for small business, green practices, and the creative spirit that makes productions in Upstate New York possible. The next time your production assistant Googles “low-budget film catering near me” from a folding chair on Wolf Road, give Best Food Trucks a call and get a meal plan that supports Main Street as much as your bottom line.

I’ve had a lot of burgers in my life and this was a great one. I was extremely pleased that they put raw jalapeño on The Heater. The burgers were delicious, the sweet potato fries were crispy, and the price was reasonable. I will definitely order from there again.

the food was good but I orded a side of chip for 3 dollars and I felt that was a bit steep. For like 10 chips.

I ordered the Shrimp Bowl and it was amazing! All of the flavors go so well together and it's fairly priced for how many shrimp you get. Delicious!

They were very kind and quick with getting food out! I had asked for a 12pm pick up time and they messaged me at 11:50 that it was ready to go. The food was delicious and just as I ordered. I'd visit them at other locations as well

Food was good, chicken sandwiches were large, but underseasoned. Buffalo wasn't spicy at all and blackened just needed some more. My daughter did say it's the best burger she ever had and that's all she wants to eat
