Hot, Customizable Meals for New York Studios—Ready the Moment You Call “Cut!”
Whether your production is rolling at Steiner Studios on the Brooklyn waterfront, lighting up Silvercup in Queens, or capturing that perfect street scene in SoHo, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable food truck catering for studio sets in New York. Years of on-location experience mean we anticipate every detail: rotating daily menus that keep your crew excited, strategic truck placement that never blocks the grip truck, lightning-fast online ordering, and strict vetting for NYC permits and insurance. From call time at dawn to the final martini shot, we keep mealtime seamless, affordable, and compliant with your budget.
New Yorkers are famously picky about their food, and film crews are no exception. That’s why we partner with a lineup of iconic local trucks your cast and crew will recognize instantly:
- Yankee Doodle Dandy’s serves all-American comfort favorites like the Love Me Tender Chicken Sandwich—a perfect pick-me-up between takes.
- Carvel Ice Cream Truck brings classic New York nostalgia with its legendary soft-serve swirl—ideal for cooling off under hot set lights.
- Jiannetto's Pizza dishes out grandma-style thin-crust Sicilian slices that even a lifelong Manhattan slice snob will love.
- Smash Burger sears premium Angus patties to order, satisfying those late-night burger cravings after overtime shoots.
- MAKINA Cafe introduces authentic Ethiopian-Eritrean fare like injera and sambusas, giving your crew a flavorful break from the ordinary.
Food truck catering on set isn’t just delicious—it’s sustainable. Trucks prep exactly what you order, cutting down food and packaging waste and keeping your production’s eco-footprint as small as an East Village studio apartment. Let Best Food Trucks handle the logistics so you can focus on the shot list and leave lunchtime to us. For studio food truck catering in New York City, we’re the one call that covers it all.
Support New York’s Small, Mobile Kitchens
Booking a food truck for your Brooklyn soundstage or Midtown rooftop shoot does more than feed the crew—it keeps New York’s vibrant small-business scene alive. Nearly every truck we work with is a family-run or owner-operated venture, from the husband-and-wife team ladling ramen in Long Island City to the father-son duo slinging halal plates outside Kaufman Astoria. Your catering dollars stay right here in the five boroughs, fueling jobs, rent, and supplies purchased from local wholesalers at Hunts Point.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional craft-service buffets. Because each order is cooked to ticket, trucks burn less energy than commissary kitchens and send far fewer half-pan leftovers to the landfill—an important win in a city where every trash bag travels by truck or barge. We provide compostable serviceware on request, and our vendors follow NYC’s strict recycling rules, so your production can roll credits with a lighter carbon footprint.
The next time you type “low-budget film catering near me” or “studio food truck catering NYC” into your phone at 4 A.M. call time, reach out to Best Food Trucks instead. We’ll line up a delicious, socially responsible fleet that makes feeding the cast as memorable as the shoot itself.

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.

Food and service was excellent. Arrival of food truck was late. Driver wanted to come half hour earlier (11:30a) to event to prep but ended up showing an hour later (12:30p). Wasn’t able to feed some of my important guests. They missed out on some good food to catch a flight. For the amount of $$ paid, was hoping have event catered on time.

All food was great. Boom boom shrimp was especially good. Cook was understaffed but did a remarkable job under pressure. Kudos.

Friendly, family like service and delicious pasta! I also appreciate the dressing for the Caesar salad being put on the side, so salad does not get soggy.
