Hot, Customizable Studio Meals—Delivered Anywhere in Columbia!
When productions roll cameras in Columbia—whether on Main Street, at the historic South Carolina State House, or out by Lake Murray—timing is everything. Best Food Trucks specializes in studio food truck catering in Columbia, drawing on years of experience feeding film crews from USC’s Horseshoe to the soundstages near Fort Jackson. We design rotating, daily menus that keep your cast and crew energized, help you map the most efficient service locations, and streamline online ordering and pickup so every break stays on schedule.
Our Columbia food truck partners are fully vetted for permits and insurance, and we provide a detailed, budget-friendly cost analysis before the first plate is served. Hungry for bold local flavor? Invite Carolina Cookin' for Lowcountry soft-shell crab and grits, or spice things up with New Orleans favorites from Mardi Gras Tyme. Need quick comfort food that keeps crews smiling? The Haute Dog Lady turns classic American dogs into gourmet bites.
Columbia’s famously hot summers call for a cool wrap party—treat everyone to shaved-ice bliss from Ken's Famous Italian Ice or the island vibes of Kona Ice - Columbia. Food truck catering reduces food and packaging waste, keeping our “Famously Hot” city a little greener. Let Best Food Trucks handle the meal logistics for your studio production in Columbia—so you can focus on the next perfect shot.
Supporting Columbia’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking studio food truck catering in Columbia does more than keep your crew fed between takes—it keeps money circulating right here in the Midlands. Many of the rolling kitchens we dispatch got their start at Soda City Market on Main Street or along Devine Street’s weekend pop-ups, and they’re still owned by solo entrepreneurs and family-run teams. Every taco, shrimp po’ boy, or vegan grain bowl you order helps a local household pay rent, hire neighbors, and source produce from Lexington County farms.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional buffet lines. With built-in commercial kitchens, trucks draw less power than tented steam tables and send out meals in compostable packaging that keeps single-use plastics out of the Congaree River. Choosing a truck for your Columbia film set catering shrinks your carbon footprint while giving cast and crew fresh, made-to-order dishes instead of reheated pans.
So the next time you Google “low-budget film catering near me” during an overnight shoot in Five Points or a dawn call at Riverfront Park, remember Best Food Trucks. We’ll match you with a socially responsible, Midlands-made menu that makes good food part of the good you do.

Hello, I missed my pickup because I got held up at work. That’s my fault. Would it be ok to get my order next time Magic Hibachi are at the PCT buildings? I’d be fine with that if they are.

I love everything about the balsamic strawberry salad; all the right ingredients and the right portions. I appreciate that I can easily get my mouth around the grilled sandwiches and they are not too greasy when picking up. If course they taste great too!

All food was great. Boom boom shrimp was especially good. Cook was understaffed but did a remarkable job under pressure. Kudos.
