Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Philadelphia Studio Crew
Whether you’re shooting a gritty drama in Fishtown or rolling cameras on the waterfront at the Navy Yard, our team at Best Food Trucks understands the fast-paced demands of studio life in Philadelphia. We’ve spent years feeding film and TV crews all over Philly, from Broad Street to Bustleton Avenue, and we know how to keep your talent and techs fueled and happy.
We work hand-in-hand with your production office to create rotating daily menus, secure the perfect on-lot parking spots, and streamline online ordering and pickup so nobody misses a take. Every vendor we bring on set carries full permits and insurance, and we provide a clear, line-item cost analysis that fits your budget. Plus, food truck catering cuts down on food and packaging waste—an eco-friendly win that keeps your set a little greener.
Looking for local flavor? Treat the crew to smoky ribs and brisket from Chuck's BBQ Chuckwagon, or surprise the late-night lighting team with crispy Wisconsin-style curds from Philly favorite The Cow and the Curd. Need classic comfort food between takes? Nick's Roast Beef has you covered. Warm up a winter shoot with steaming bowls of ramen from Slurp Philly, or add a Mediterranean twist with flaky pastries from Authentik Byrek.
No matter where you’re filming in the City of Brotherly Love, Best Food Trucks makes studio catering simple, delicious, and unmistakably Philadelphia. Let us handle mealtime so you can keep the cameras rolling.
Fueling Philly’s Film Sets & Small Businesses
Booking food truck catering for your Philadelphia studio shoot does more than keep cast and crew satisfied—it keeps our city’s independent food scene thriving. Each truck we roll onto your lot is run by a South Philly family, a West Philly culinary grad, or a North Philly pit-master chasing the American dream. By choosing Best Food Trucks, you’re not just getting mouth-watering cheesesteaks, roast pork, and vegan hoagies—you’re pumping dollars back into the neighborhoods that make Philly legendary.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart choice for on-location catering. They sip less electricity than a traditional commissary, slash single-use packaging, and leave a smaller footprint on set—perfect for productions that want to earn those sustainability points without sacrificing flavor.
So the next time your production coordinator hops on Google for “low-budget film catering near me,” remember that the most delicious, socially responsible answer is rolling on four wheels. Tap Best Food Trucks for studio catering in Philadelphia and taste the difference supporting local makes.

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.
