Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Charlottesville Studio!
Whether you’re shooting a commercial on the Downtown Mall, filming a documentary along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or wrapping a late-night scene near the University of Virginia, Best Food Trucks brings the very best food truck catering in Charlottesville straight to your studio lot. Our seasoned team has fed film crews from Belmont to Crozet, so we know exactly how to keep cast and crew happy— and on schedule.
We’ll design rotating daily menus that fit any dietary need, scout the most convenient service locations on set, and streamline online ordering so your grips and gaffers aren’t stuck in line. Every vendor is fully vetted for Charlottesville permits and insurance, and you’ll receive a transparent cost analysis that keeps production accountants smiling.
Choose local favorites like a hearty Mediterranean bowl from Ricebowls Express, a wood-fired slice from Blue Ridge Pizza Co, decadent scoops from Royal Creamery & Icery, or stick-to-your-ribs comfort fare by Fantabulous Chef Service LLC and Curbside Creations. Food truck catering cuts down on food and packaging waste too— a win for your budget and for our beautiful Blue Ridge environment.
From sunrise call times to midnight wrap parties, let Best Food Trucks handle every bite of your studio catering in Charlottesville. You focus on the shot list; we’ll handle the shopping list.
Fueling Charlottesville’s Small Businesses
Booking food truck catering for your Charlottesville studio shoot does more than keep the crew happy—it pumps dollars straight back into our local economy. Every truck that rolls up to your set on West Main, at IX Art Park, or out by the Rivanna River is owned by a Central Virginia family or solo entrepreneur. Your budget stays right here in the 22901–22903 zip codes, helping neighbors hire staff, pay rent, and keep Charlottesville’s ever-growing food scene buzzing.
Choosing food trucks is also an eco-smart move. Mobile kitchens draw far less energy than conventional buffet lines and rely on compostable or recyclable serviceware, slashing waste on location. Many of our partner vendors even source ingredients from Charlottesville farmers’ markets and use disposables supplied by local sustainability groups like GreenBlue.
So when the production assistant types “low-budget film catering near me” into Google, give them the responsible—and delicious—answer. Reach out to Best Food Trucks and line up Charlottesville’s finest wheels for your next shoot. Great food, happy crew, stronger community.

Truck ran 30 mins late on our order and the meatballs tasted like they were previously frozen - they were a weird texture and not flavorful

The order was "on time" very generous amounts, the roll was toasted perfectly.( unexpected) the meat was so tender and tasty..the mac & cheese yummy, and the beans even had a piece of VERY tender bacon in it! DELICIOUS!

My sandwich was tasty! I didn't like that it had two different sizes of bread one substantially smaller. This caused the roast beef on one end to be dried out. It was a great sandwich and the chef was very friendly.

The Mac and cheese was fantastic 10/10 would get again. The peach lemonade is also lovely. They are such wonderful people too!

Plantain! Jerk chicken was fried crispy. Thought the jerk barbecue could have been a little spicier. Still very good

First time buying. The rice & vegetables were perfect! And the yum yum sauce added just the right "kick". The egg rolls were a bit skimpy on filling, but taste was fine.
