Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Albany Studio Set
Filming near the Capitol, along Lark Street, or in a converted warehouse in the Warehouse District? Best Food Trucks brings top-tier Albany food truck catering for studio productions right to your call sheet. Our team has spent years feeding crews from early-morning call times to late-night wrap parties, so we know how to keep your talent, grips, and gaffers happy—even during a surprise Hudson River cold snap.
We’ll collaborate with your production office to create rotating daily menus, map the most efficient service spots on location, and streamline online ordering so your AD never hears “crafty line is backed up.” Every vendor we send is fully permitted and insured in the City of Albany, and we’ll give you a clear, line-item cost breakdown to keep the budget on point.
Choose from local favorites that Albany residents rave about:
- Eggy's Place – Classic American Bistro breakfasts that turn 5 a.m. call times into a crew-wide smile.
- Michele's Charcoal Pit Food Truck – Char-kissed chicken platters perfect for a quick protein boost between takes in Pine Hills.
- The Healthy Cafe Catering Co. – Multi-cultural bowls and wraps to satisfy vegan, gluten-free, and omnivore diets alike.
- Heisenburgers – Smash-style hamburgers that have fueled more late-night shoots in Albany than we can count.
- Smokey Salsa Grill – Mexican-fusion tacos with just the right kick to keep energy high on set.
Food truck catering is also a greener choice for your Albany studio production—less packaging waste and virtually no leftovers headed to Rapp Road Landfill. Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime logistics while you focus on getting the perfect shot at Empire State Plaza. One call, endless culinary possibilities.
Fueling Albany’s Economy, One Food Truck at a Time
Booking food truck catering for a studio in Albany isn’t just the fastest way to feed cast and crew—it’s a direct investment in the Capital Region’s small-business community. Nearly every truck we roll onto your set is owned by an Albany County family or a solo chef who perfected their recipes at the Troy Waterfront Farmers Market, the Tulip Festival in Washington Park, or along bustling Madison Avenue.
Instead of funneling your catering budget to an out-of-town conglomerate, you’ll keep those dollars circulating from Center Square coffee roasters to South End produce suppliers. That means more local jobs, more tax revenue for city services, and more of the up-and-coming flavors that make Albany’s food scene buzz.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart choice for production catering. Because each kitchen is self-contained, trucks draw less power than a traditional craft-service tent and slash single-use packaging. Many of our partners compost prep scraps and use Empire Zero’s cooking-oil recycling program—so nothing good ends up at Rapp Road Landfill.
Ready to feed the crew, support local entrepreneurs, and shrink your carbon footprint? The next time you Google “low-budget film catering near me” or “Albany studio food trucks,” give Best Food Trucks a call. You’ll get hot, memorable meals and a socially responsible solution that makes production life a whole lot tastier.

Lupita's Tacos were incredible - I've received positive feedback from attendees! The food was great! I really appreciated the pre-packaging, it made everything go by so smoothly and the line was never too long. And communication up to the event was great. My one suggestion would be to label the pre-packaging so people know what type of meat is inside the burritos/tacos, instead of having to open each container. But other than that, amazing! Will definitely keep them in mind for future events :)

Well, my husband and I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and it was phenomenal. The crunch on that bread was amazing. Probably the best sandwich I've ever had on Italian beef as a matter of fact, it was the best sandwich ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Truck arrived well before the event to prepare. The owners/workers were very friendly as I met them upon arrival. They provided a varied selection of entrees to satisfy everyone's tastes and provided options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was also delicious per the team; I can say the burgers and burritos were a hit.

Despite the fact that the food was fabulous, I will share with everyone I know to never patronize the Smokin' Dough food truck. The person who handed me my order was rude and yelled at me when I asked about the diet cola that I ordered that they were unable to fulfill. They do not understand customer service, and when I shared that I wouldn't be coming back, she seemed gleeful at that prospect. Smokin' Dough is not an inexpensive food truck and I had even left a 10% tip when I placed the order online. That was a huge mistake.

The last sure times I've placed a order the burrito has been busted open on one or both sides. Other than that, it's been delicious.
