Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Portland ME Studio Crew
From sunrise shoots on Munjoy Hill to late-night wrap parties in the Old Port, Best Food Trucks delivers dependable studio catering in Portland, Maine. We’ve spent years feeding film crews, photographers, ad teams, and on-air talent, so we know how to keep a hungry set focused and on schedule. Our local food truck partners roll up to your soundstage or back-lot, serve fresh dishes in minutes, and disappear without a trace—no dumpsters full of buffet pans, no headache for production.
Here’s how we make studio food service effortless in Portland ME:
- Design rotating daily menus that fit tight call sheets and tighter budgets.
- Scout the best service spots—whether you’re shooting on Commercial Street or out by Fort Gorges.
- Streamline mobile ordering so cast and crew can grab meals between takes.
- Audit every truck for Portland city licenses, Maine insurance requirements, and food-safety certifications.
- Provide clear per-diem cost breakdowns, helping you stay under budget while still treating the crew right.
Going the food-truck route also lightens your environmental footprint on Casco Bay: meals are cooked to order, so there’s less food waste and fewer disposable pans piling up at the curb.
Some of our most requested Portland food trucks for studio catering include:
- PB&ME – American-comfort mashups like gourmet peanut-butter sliders that keep PAs powered up.
- Mainely Hotdogs – Quick, handheld dogs and local “red snappers” perfect for short meal breaks.
- Crepe Elizabeth – Sweet and savory crepes that travel well from truck to trailer.
- Frozen Rooster – Crispy chicken baskets that satisfy the whole gaffer team—even in January cold.
- Lucky Lou's Portland – Fresh Mediterranean gyros and souvlaki that taste like a quick trip to the Aegean without leaving Bayside.
Let Best Food Trucks handle your Portland ME studio catering so you can focus on lighting, lenses, and lobster-roll B-roll. Book today and give your cast and crew the best meal break they’ve ever had in Vacationland.
Fueling Portland ME’s Economy—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking a food truck for your Portland ME studio catering doesn’t just keep your crew happy—it keeps our city’s small-business scene thriving. Every truck that pulls up to your set on India Street or the East End Beach is a locally owned operation, often run by a family that also shops the Portland Farmers’ Market and cheers for the Maine Mariners on weekends. Your meal budget goes straight back into Casco Bay communities, from buying Jasper Wyman blueberries to paying local line cooks a living wage.
Food trucks are also a smarter, greener choice for film and photo productions. Because they cook to order, they burn less energy than a traditional buffet line and leave you with fewer half-empty chafing pans heading to Riverside recycling. Most Portland rigs separate compostables and recyclables on board, and several power their kitchens with biodiesel sourced right here in Maine.
So the next time you’re Googling “low-budget film catering near me” for your East Bayside soundstage, skip the soggy subs. Let Best Food Trucks match you with a Portland ME food truck that feeds your crew, supports local entrepreneurs, and keeps your shoot sustainable.

I found the cheese pizza to be salty and the margherita pizza needed more tomato sauce. The cauliflower crust was good as was the balsamic vinaigrette.

I was home and didn’t plan on going back out. I got a pop up that the Melt Machine was a few minutes away. I placed an order and left my house for a grilled cheese and tots! LOVE the Melt Machine!!!!

The sandwich and salad combination is a good value: whole sandwich and large salad. It was also very tasty.

The food was delicious. For the price it would have been nice to have an egg roll in the plate. But it was really good.

I would have preferred the fries would have been separated to later add the rest. But that's just my preference. The spring rolls and sauce were fire!! So good

For a thin crust pizza it wasn't bad. The pepperoni was a bit greasy. All in all we were decently satisfied.

Food is always great! They just need to work on their online ordering. Quesadilla doesn't have meat options and 1 taco shows for $13 but 3 tacos plus rice and beans is just a couple dollars more!
