Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Charleston Studio Set
Charleston may be famous for its pastel row houses and the sweet smell of jasmine along King Street, but locals know it’s also a hotbed for film and television production. When your cast and crew break for lunch on the Battery or just off East Bay, you need food that’s fast, fresh, and Lowcountry-approved. Best Food Trucks specializes in studio catering in Charleston, crafting rotating daily menus that keep everyone—from the boom-mic operator to the executive producer—excited for the lunch bell.
Our on-set service is designed for the pace of production. We map out ideal serving locations (whether you’re shooting under the Ravenel Bridge or on a soundstage in North Charleston), streamline online ordering and pickup, and vet every vendor for City of Charleston permits and insurance. You’ll get a clear cost analysis that protects your budget while reducing food and packaging waste—something we care about as much as preserving our beautiful marshlands.
Want Mediterranean that rivals any spot on Upper King? Invite Wally Gyros LLC or Zimo’s. Craving plant-based options for your talent? Bangin' Vegan Eats brings crowd-pleasing flavor without the meat. Need Southern comfort that tastes like grandma’s James Island kitchen? Fed Up Truck LLC has you covered. And when the crew wants something unique, Lola's Lumpia Food Truck rolls in with crispy Filipino classics that disappear faster than the tide at Folly Beach.
From dawn call times to late-night shoots, let Best Food Trucks handle every bite of your Charleston studio catering so you can focus on getting the perfect shot.
Support Charleston’s Small Businesses—One Plate at a Time
Every time you roll a food truck onto your set, you pump dollars straight back into the Holy City. Most Charleston trucks are run by solo chefs, husband-and-wife crews, or multigenerational families who source shrimp off Shem Creek, collards from Johns Island, and buns baked on Meeting Street. Instead of writing a check to a national conglomerate, you’re investing in neighbors who keep our Lowcountry culinary scene vibrant, creative, and delicious.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly choice for studio catering. Their compact kitchens draw less power than a traditional commissary tent, and many hand out recyclable or compostable wares to keep plastic out of our pluff mud and salt marshes. Lower energy, less waste, happier dolphins—it’s a win all around.
Ready to feed the crew and feel good about it? The next time the AD types “low-budget film catering near me” into their phone, call Best Food Trucks and book a socially responsible spread that tastes like Charleston.

Food was very good and our guests enjoyed it. However, the wait for food orders was 35 to 45 minutes. Thankfully we also had an ice cream truck that guests could visit and have their ice cream while they waited for their lunch order.

: Not the style of teriyaki I anticipated. But overall the flavor was OK. Veggies and fried rice were quite good and the portion size was excellent.

the lamb meat was excellent. I would have liked a little more vegetables, but overall it was excellent. I would eat there again and would try other options.

We hired Dave's S&T for a corporate employee appreciation event, and it was a smashing success from start to finish. Great communication in advance, very reasonable fixed price menu, impressive streamlined efficiency that prevented a line/wait for food, great customer service with our employees, tons of options on the menu, and fresh, flavorful food that *almost* everyone went absolutely crazy about (I mean, you can't please everyone. But it was as close to a resounding consensus as we've ever had). We'll book them again!
