Sizzling, Customizable Meals for Philly Film Sets—Right on Schedule!
From Fishtown soundstages to back-lots off the Schuylkill, Best Food Trucks has spent years fueling Philadelphia’s movie and TV crews with on-location eats that hit the spot faster than the Broad Street Line. We’ll partner with your production team to craft rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew excited, select the perfect curbside service spots (yes, we know every permit quirk from Center City to Manayunk), streamline online ordering and rapid pickup, and deliver a transparent cost analysis that respects even the tightest studio budget.
Because we work exclusively with fully licensed local vendors, you’ll never worry about insurance, health codes, or last-minute cancellations. Plus, food truck catering cuts down on packaging and food waste—so your set stays green while you’re filming all that gritty Philly gray.
Craving smoky ribs from Chuck's BBQ Chuckwagon, Wisconsin-style cheese curds from the iconic The Cow and the Curd, or a classic roast beef sandwich worthy of South Philly from Nick's Roast Beef? Maybe your crew wants steaming bowls of ramen from Slurp Philly or flaky Mediterranean pastries courtesy of Authentik Byrek. We’ll line them up faster than you can shout, “Quiet on set!”
Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime for your Philadelphia studio production. Your only worry will be deciding whether to dunk that roast beef in au jus or go straight for another order of cheese curds.
Fuel Your Shoot —and Philly’s Small Businesses
Every time you roll a local food truck onto your Philly back-lot, you keep more production dollars right here in the 215. Most of the trucks we curate are run by solo owners who got their start in neighborhoods like Point Breeze, Northern Liberties, and Brewerytown—people who shop at Reading Terminal Market before dawn and prep in Kensington commissaries before racing to your call time. Hire one truck or build a rotating fleet, and you’ll taste the difference that home-grown passion brings to craft-services.
There’s a green upside, too. Compared with traditional buffet lines and disposable chafing racks, a modern food truck sips less power, cooks to order, and slashes food waste—no half-pans of mac ’n’ cheese heading straight for the dumpster behind the studio. That keeps more of your budget on the screen and less in the landfill.
So the next time you Google “studio food truck catering Philadelphia” or “low-budget film catering near me,” remember that Best Food Trucks links you to the city’s most exciting mobile kitchens. Great eats, stronger neighborhoods, greener sets—call “Action!” and we’ll handle the rest.

The truck arrived 30 mins late, which caused quite a disturbance. The food was cooked and served quickly. Some things were overcooked and dried out, a bit. However, Mike was very courteous and professional and accommodating.
