Hot, Customizable Studio Meals in Gainesville—Ready When the Director Calls “Cut!”
From sunrise shoots at Payne’s Prairie to late-night takes near the Hippodrome, Best Food Trucks has Gainesville studio catering down to a science. Our local team partners with production managers to build rotating daily menus that keep crews energized, whether you’re filming a student short for UF or a Netflix pilot on Main Street. We’ll pinpoint the best service spots on-lot or on location, streamline online ordering and pickup, and vet every truck for Alachua County permits and insurance. You get a crystal-clear cost analysis that stays on budget—and a greener footprint thanks to reduced food and packaging waste.
Need Gainesville flavor? We’ll roll in smoker-fresh barbecue from Blueline Q, tailgate-worthy American comfort plates from Rancho Luna Food Truck, and Southern favorites worthy of a Swamp Saturday from Tommyknockers Mobile Kitchen. Craving something different? Spice up lunch breaks with bold African dishes from A or island vibes from Impact Island Cafe Food Truck. Whatever your Gainesville studio needs, we deliver meals that keep cast and crew happy, productive, and ready for the next scene.
Backing Gainesville’s Own Small Businesses
Choosing food truck catering for your Gainesville studio set does more than satisfy hungry talent—it funnels your budget straight into the heart of the local economy. Most trucks that park outside soundstages near Depot Park or beyond the city limits in Alachua are run by solo chefs, family partnerships, and UF alumni chasing their culinary dreams on four wheels. Every taco, brisket plate, or vegan bowl you order helps a neighbor pay their staff, renew their city permits, and keep the Gator spirit thriving.
Food trucks are also a sustainability win for north-central Florida. Because these mobile kitchens use compact cooking equipment and prep to-order menus, they draw less electricity than a pop-up commissary and slash food waste—a bonus when you’re filming in eco-sensitive spots like Paynes Prairie Preserve. Recyclable serviceware and digital ordering mean fewer trash runs and a cleaner set.
So the next time you punch “low-budget film catering near me” or “food truck catering for studio in Gainesville” into your phone, call Best Food Trucks. We’ll match your production with a roster of licensed local trucks, keep your carbon footprint light, and make every bite another reason to shout, “That’s a wrap!”

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.

The food truck needs to actually have the online pick up orders ready BEFORE they tell us it's ready. The food is never ready and we have to wait in long, slow lines to get our food. The entire purpose of pick-up online orders is to AVOID standing in lines. Many of us do this because we have to go to meetings during lunch time and having us stand in line and waiting completely defeats the purpose. The chicken is good, but not worth the repeated wait times for online orders. The other line was going faster than the online order line. Y'all need more efficiency, or I can no longer order from this food truck.

The pizza was good but we were unable to order sausage for the pizza. Sausage does not appear on your menu of potential additions.
