Hot, Customizable Meals Delivered to Your Madison Studio Set
From the indie shoots on Williamson Street to national productions filming along Lake Mendota, Best Food Trucks is Madison’s trusted partner for on-set food truck catering. We understand the tight call times and long shoot days a studio crew faces, so we bring fresh, made-to-order meals right to your lot—fast, friendly, and always on budget.
Our Madison food truck catering team will collaborate with your production manager to:
- Design rotating daily menus packed with Badger-approved favorites and dietary-specific options.
- Select strategic service spots—whether that’s outside the East Washington Avenue soundstage or a pop-up near the Capitol Square skyline—for smooth meal breaks.
- Streamline online ordering and express pickup so every grip, gaffer, and producer eats without losing valuable shoot time.
- Verify each vendor’s City of Madison permits and insurance, keeping your set fully compliant.
- Provide transparent cost analyses to ensure great food fits your production budget.
Hungry for inspiration? Treat your Madison studio crew to local legends like Toast (American comfort classics), Jakarta Cafe for dreamy desserts, bold Thai flavors from Thailand in a Truck, iconic curds via Say Cheese Curd Company, or sunrise favorites from All Belgium Waffles - WI. With fewer disposable trays and minimal food waste, our food truck catering keeps Madison green—just like the scenic bike paths that line Lake Monona.
Let Best Food Trucks handle every bite and logistical detail, so your Madison studio can focus on capturing the perfect shot. One call, countless menu possibilities, zero mealtime worries.
Supporting Madison’s Small Businesses
Every time your production books food truck catering for a studio in Madison, you put real dollars back into the community that’s hosting your shoot. The trucks that pull up outside your set at University Research Park or on the leafy streets of Maple Bluff aren’t faceless corporations—they’re solo entrepreneurs, UW-Madison alumni chasing a dream, and family-run kitchens perfecting recipes that started at the Dane County Farmers’ Market.
Choosing truck-side service is also an environmentally smart play. Mobile kitchens draw less power than a traditional commissary tent, and our partners lean on local suppliers—think cheese curds from Mineral Point dairies and produce grown just across the Yahara River—so freight miles (and your carbon footprint) stay low. We even coordinate compostable serving ware and bike-route oil recycling to keep Madison’s green reputation as vibrant as the terraces on State Street.
The result? You get fresh, crowd-pleasing meals, Madison’s small businesses get a boost, and the planet breathes a little easier. So the next time you type “low-budget film catering near me” or “Madison studio food truck,” remember: with Best Food Trucks you’re feeding your crew, fueling local entrepreneurs, and filming sustainably—all in one delicious shot.

Only suggestion is not to use aluminum foil wrapping before it's cut. There were small pieces of aluminum in the burrito, which is not good to eat.

Hire this truck for your event! I hired them with about two weeks notice for my 50th birthday party, and I’m so glad I did! Donnell was fantastic to work with in terms of planning, and the food was *all* amazing—my guests could not stop raving. They worked with me to do small portions of more items so that we could have a variety… I chose jerk chicken, salmon, wings, and chicken tenders as entrees, and sides included Rasta Pasta, rice and peas, cabbage, and Yummy Mac. Everything about the entire experience was highly organized and super friendly, including impeccable service on the night of the event! Yummy food, and fantastic friendly service-you can’t go wrong! 😃

One of the best pizzas around. I love the Grandma's pizza and the Bianca. By far the best Grandma's pizza in the area!
