Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Knoxville Studio—Served Right On-Set!
Whether you’re shooting a commercial off Kingston Pike or wrapping a feature film on the banks of the Tennessee River, Best Food Trucks delivers flawless studio food truck catering in Knoxville. Our local team knows the city’s permitting maze as well as we know the back roads to Oak Ridge, so your crew meals stay on schedule—even when production doesn’t. We’ll craft rotating daily menus, pinpoint the best parking spots along Neyland Drive or in Old North Knoxville, streamline online ordering and pickup, and hand-select vendors who carry full Knox County permits and insurance.
Want smoky East Tennessee barbecue? We can roll in Smoked Pickle Barbecue or the legendary Clean Smoke BBQ. Craving bold Mexican flavors between takes? Dia De Foods will fire up fresh tacos faster than you can call “Action!” Burger fans on set? Hamburger Hill Food Truck stacks towering patties that keep gaffers and grips fueled all night. And for a comforting carb-load before that big crane shot, Penne For Your Thoughts dishes out made-to-order Italian classics.
From detailed cost analysis that respects indie budgets to eco-friendly service that reduces food and packaging waste, Best Food Trucks takes the guesswork out of studio catering in Knoxville. Let us handle the meals so you can keep the cameras rolling—Go Vols!
Fueling Your Shoot & Knoxville’s Small-Biz Scene
Booking a food truck for your Knoxville studio set does more than quiet rumbling stomachs—it pumps money straight back into the Scruffy City. Nearly every truck we partner with is a home-grown operation, run by chefs who live in neighborhoods like Bearden, Fountain City, and South Knox. When your cast grabs smoked brisket from a local pitmaster or a vegan burrito from a UT alum’s truck, you’re helping a family business pay rent, hire neighbors, and keep Knoxville’s culinary scene thriving from Market Square to Marble City.
Food trucks also tread lighter on our beloved Tennessee hillsides than traditional catering. These kitchens-on-wheels sip far less power than a pop-up commissary, arrive with reusable serving gear, and roll out leaving almost zero waste—perfect for eco-minded productions filming along the French Broad River or inside one of Knoxville’s historic warehouses.
So next time you’re Googling “low-budget film catering Knoxville” during a late-night edit, give Best Food Trucks a call. We’ll deliver crave-worthy meals, keep your carbon footprint small, and make sure every dollar stays Volunteer-strong.

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.
