Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Columbia Studio Set
From indie shoots along the Congaree River to national productions filming on Main Street, Best Food Trucks is Columbia’s first call for studio food truck catering. Our local team understands the tight timelines and big appetites that come with on-set life. We’ll coordinate rotating daily menus packed with Midlands flavor, pinpoint the best service spot—whether that’s a pop-up lot near the Vista or a shady corner of Five Points—streamline mobile ordering and pickup, and make sure every vendor carries the proper City of Columbia permits and insurance. The result? Meal breaks that keep cast and crew happy, productive, and right on schedule.
Choose from beloved Columbia trucks like Carolina Cookin' (think shrimp & grits that would make your grandma proud), the Cajun comfort of Mardi Gras Tyme, island flavors from T&J's Deliciousness, or cool things down with Kona Ice - Columbia and Ken's Famous Italian Ice. We vet every truck, track every ticket, and deliver a detailed cost analysis that fits your production budget. Plus, food truck catering cuts packaging waste—good news for a city that prides itself on its rivers and green spaces. Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime so your Columbia studio can keep the cameras rolling.
Fueling Columbia Studios — and Soda City’s Small Businesses
Booking food truck catering for your Columbia studio set does more than feed a hungry crew—it keeps Soda City’s entrepreneurial spirit alive. Nearly every truck you’ll see parked behind a soundstage or along Huger Street is a family-run small business, from Forest Acres pit-masters to Rosewood bakers. Bringing them on-set puts real dollars back into the Midlands economy while giving your cast and crew an authentic taste of Columbia.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional buffet lines. With self-contained kitchens, they sip far less power than a fleet of chafing dishes and cut single-use plastics by serving straight from the window. That means a smaller footprint on the banks of the Congaree—and fewer trash runs delaying your shoot schedule.
So the next time you’re Googling “low-budget film catering near me” or “food truck catering for studio in Columbia,” remember: Best Food Trucks connects you with the very vendors you browse every Saturday at Soda City Market. Let’s keep the cameras rolling, the plates full, and Columbia’s small businesses thriving—all in one delicious take.

The food was very good. The food truck staff were super kind and did their best to keep up with the inundation of orders. The BFT app told me that my order was ready; however, I had to wait at the truck (with many other customers) for well over an hour for my order. The communication dependability between BFT and the customer needs to improve drastically.

They forgot to put the nacho toppings on top of the chips for my dad so he had to go back so he wasn't just eating plain chips when steak nachos were ordered. The quesabirria though was very tasty!

Food was good but the service was lacking. I placed a preorder for 5:25pm. I received an email at 5:25pm that my order was ready. I went to pick it up and finally got my order at 6:30 pm and that was after having to remind the crew what I ordered and paid for one hour and 45 minutes earlier. They evidently lost my order.

I don't think it's them, there seems to be an issue with receiving notification when our orders are done it's everytime we have ordered through BFT

Everything was great, but the cannolis were empty in the middle. They were tasty though, just wish they were filled more.

The pizza is too expensive for the size. Delicious but too small. Didn't like the garlic knots too much, tasted like pretzel dough.

I left a note to put sauce on side and it was on the tenders. I ordered ahead and there wasn't a option for no sauce

The black beans, plantains, avocado, and mozzarella cheese combo on the arpes bread was amazing. I've never had this before & I was very pleased. The order was fast, andthe food was hot. I'll definitely order again.
