On Location Catering catering

Fueling Film Sets & Supporting Grand Rapids Small Businesses

Booking food truck catering for your Grand Rapids studio does more than satisfy hungry crews—it keeps the city’s entrepreneurial spirit thriving. Every truck that rolls onto set is owned by a West Michigan family or solo chef-preneur who got their start at places like the Fulton Street Farmers Market or the Downtown Market incubator kitchens. Your catering dollars circle right back into the local economy, from produce purchased at Ken’s Fruit Market to late-night bread runs at Nantucket Baking Company.

Choosing a food truck is also the greenest way to feed cast and crew. Compact kitchens mean lower energy use than traditional on-set catering, and most Grand Rapids trucks run on biodiesel or plug into shore power at locations like River City Studios to cut generator fumes. Many partners ditch single-use plastics for compostables supplied by the city’s own Organicycle program, turning yesterday’s lunch trays into tomorrow’s nutrient-rich soil for West Michigan farms.

So the next time you’re Googling “low-budget film catering near me” while storyboarding in a Wealthy Street coffee shop, remember that Best Food Trucks can deliver sustainable flavor and hometown impact in one shot. Roll cameras, roll tacos, and let’s keep Grand Rapids’ creative economy—and your production—moving forward.

The sandwich meat was great and the Mac-n-cheese were very good too! I would have like some sauce on the side as an option.

Their time management could be worked on, and when ordering it doesn't allow you to choose mild, medium or hot like it says so they just give you hot

the service was excellent! This is our first time hiring a food truck from BTF and it was super last minute. I submitted my request on Friday before Memorial Day, for a Memorial Day Luncheon and BTF did not fail us. Our truck was here one hour before event started and was here until all the food we paid for was served. Will definitely use you guys again.

NFM says that was the best Philly sandwich of all the trucks that come to Wright farms. I should have ordered 2 (more) for later. Raise your price and stay in business. Please come back again. Friend NFM

My order wasn't ready despite getting the ready for pickup and it then started raining on me but they still went out there way to make up for it and bring it to me as I was hiding for cover. Thank you so much!!!

I was late picking up food because I got an unexpected work call I had to take. They offered to remake my sandwich when I picked it up. I declined and the sandwich was still very delicious.
