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.

We hosted an office party at a local park & had Good Hombres there to serve lunch. Everyone loved the food & the service that was provided. We will definitely use them again in the future!

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.

Unfair question. It was salted perfectly, the pasta is perfect, everything was fantastic. The bread on the side was perfect to sop up the rest of the sauce.

This time my pizza was a little too saucy. It's a personal thing. Still delicious and hit the spot, I just like less sauce with a margarita pizza.
