Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Columbia Studio Set
When productions roll into Columbia—whether you’re shooting along the scenic Congaree River or inside one of the sound stages near the University of South Carolina—you need studio food truck catering that runs as smoothly as your call sheet. Best Food Trucks has spent years feeding cast and crew nationwide, and we now bring that expertise home to South Carolina’s capital city.
We partner with local favorites like Carolina Cookin' for Lowcountry soft-shell crab and grits, Mardi Gras Tyme for Cajun jambalaya that could make a tiger at Riverbanks Zoo roar, and Buck n Cluck for hearty American-bistro bites that keep grips and gaffers going strong. Need a cool treat when the Midlands heat kicks in? Kona Ice - Columbia and Ken’s Famous Italian Ice have tropical shaved ice flavors that keep morale high between takes.
Our Columbia studio catering service is fully turnkey. We’ll craft rotating daily menus that respect dietary preferences, secure the perfect parking spot on or off Garners Ferry Road, coordinate contact-free ordering and pickup, and verify every vendor’s permits and insurance with Richland County. You’ll also receive a transparent cost analysis that protects your production budget.
Choosing food truck catering for your Columbia studio set reduces food and packaging waste, keeping our Soda City streets cleaner. Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime logistics so you can focus on getting the perfect shot.
Fueling Columbia’s Creative Economy
When you book Columbia studio food truck catering with Best Food Trucks, you’re feeding more than your crew—you’re energizing Soda City’s small-business scene. Every truck we send to your set is owned by a Midlands family or a proud USC alum chasing a culinary dream, from the smoker parked outside a soundstage off Shop Road to the taco trailer you’ve seen at the Saturday Soda City Market on Main.
Keeping catering dollars local means those funds circle back into Richland and Lexington Counties—produce from the State Farmers Market, service hires from Five Points, and equipment repairs in Cayce and West Columbia. It’s smart for filmmakers too: food trucks operate as self-contained mobile kitchens, drawing far less power than a traditional commissary tent and serving meals in compostable packaging that meets the City of Columbia’s Green Business standards.
So the next time a PA is frantically searching “low budget film catering near me,” send them to Best Food Trucks. We’ll roll in Columbia’s favorite trucks, keep your environmental footprint light, and let you capture the perfect shot knowing lunch is supporting the community that makes the Midlands shine.

The only thing we would not order again is the Barbacoa tacos. Expected them to be more finely shredded. The meat was a little tough. Everything else was great!

More accurate timeline to have the food ready. My grandkids waited 45 mins after being told it would be 10 minutes

Suggest slightly less fries. I did like how they were cooked. Slightly more sauce in the sandwich; not much though. I'd definitely order again in the future.

Food was great, process was not, received message 30 minutes prior to my requested order time only to arrive and then have to wait 20 minutes in line to pick up my order..... process needs value stream mapping. Food was legit though.
