Hot, Customizable Meals for Charlotte Studios—Ready When the Director Calls “Cut!”
From the bustling soundstages at Charlotte Film Studios near University City to commercial shoots tucked away in South End warehouses, Best Food Trucks keeps the Queen City’s crews well fed and on schedule. We understand the tight call sheets, hungry grips, and “five-minute” meal breaks that come with filming around Charlotte.
Our studio food truck catering program lets you build rotating daily menus featuring some of the city’s most popular rigs. Treat the team to homestyle comforts from Word Of Mouth Catering CLT, gourmet nachos piled high by Nacho Average Truck, juicy burgers and wings from Krave Food Truck, authentic Japanese skewers via Tiger Yakitori, and wood-fired pies served hot out of Wheelz Pizza. Every truck is fully vetted for Mecklenburg County permits and insurance, so your production stays compliant.
We’ll handle everything—identifying the perfect parking spot whether it’s curbside on North Tryon, a back lot off Wilkinson Boulevard, or the tree-lined avenues of Ballantyne; streamlining pre-orders and pickup windows; and providing a clear cost analysis that fits your budget. Plus, food truck service slashes food and packaging waste compared to traditional buffet catering.
Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your Charlotte studio. When the lights, camera, and action kick off, your crew will already have a hot, locally loved meal in hand.
Fueling Charlotte’s Economy—One Food Truck at a Time
Every time you roll a Charlotte food truck onto set, you’re pumping dollars straight back into the Queen City. Most of the trucks we partner with are owned by solo chefs from neighborhoods like NoDa, Plaza Midwood, and Steele Creek, or by family-run operations that have been serving fans at Knights and Panthers games for years. When your production hires them, you’re keeping hometown talent busy between festivals, breweries, and Bank of America Stadium events—exactly the kind of local support small businesses need to thrive.
Food trucks are also the eco-smart choice for studio catering. Because they cook to order in compact kitchens, trucks draw far less power than a traditional commissary line and slash single-use chafing dishes and plastic ware. Many Charlotte vendors even compost prep scraps through Mecklenburg County’s food-waste program and rely on refillable propane instead of noisy generators.
So the next time a producer yells, “We need affordable on-set meals, stat!” skip the generic buffet search for “low-budget film catering near me” and call Best Food Trucks. You’ll serve crowd-pleasing menus, back Charlotte’s small-business community, and keep your carbon footprint lighter than a drone shot over Freedom Park.

The food was VERY good. 1 of their fryers broke so it took almost 3 hours to get everyone thru the line which didn't make anyone happy. The quality of the food was great and quantity of food also but time was a turn off for most. They also did not show up to the event early enough to set up so they didn't start serving until about 20-25 mins after the set-up start time. Would hire again for smaller event.

Love the popper. I liked how the jalapeño is within a tortilla so the filling doesn't spill out. Your tortillas are excellent.

The brisket melt is absolutely delicious. We loved the seasoning on the fresh cut fries. This is definitely our favorite sandwich truck that comes to Talavera.
