Our local team leverages years of film-set experience to keep cast and crew fueled, on time, and delighted by Maine flavors.

We’ll partner with your production manager to build rotating daily menus that fit every diet from lobster-loving carnivores to vegan key grips. We scout the best parking spots around Back Cove or on Thompson’s Point, confirm city permits and insurance, streamline online ordering, and deliver a clear cost analysis that protects your budget.

Keep Portland Filming and Thriving

Choosing studio food truck catering in Portland, ME does more than fill bellies between takes—it funnels your production dollars straight back into the city’s tight-knit community of makers and dreamers. Nearly every truck we schedule is a one-rig operation owned by a Munjoy Hill couple, a Deering High grad, or a family that still buys haddock right off the Portland Fish Pier. When you book them, you’re underwriting local payroll, farmers’ markets, and the next generation of Pine Tree State entrepreneurs.

Food trucks are also a win for green productions. A single truck parked at your Back Cove basecamp uses a fraction of the energy of a traditional craft-services tent and sends far less packaging to ecomaine. Many of our vendors compost lobster shells, stock reusable serviceware, and power griddles with biodiesel sourced in Westbrook.

So the next time you type “low-budget film catering near me” or “Portland ME studio food truck catering” into your location scout’s browser, remember that a truck on set means local flavor, smaller carbon footprints, and crew members who can’t stop talking about lunch. Give Best Food Trucks a call and keep Portland rolling—both on screen and on wheels.

The only thing we would not order again is the Barbacoa tacos. Expected them to be more finely shredded. The meat was a little tough. Everything else was great!

Suggest slightly less fries. I did like how they were cooked. Slightly more sauce in the sandwich; not much though. I'd definitely order again in the future.

Food was great, process was not, received message 30 minutes prior to my requested order time only to arrive and then have to wait 20 minutes in line to pick up my order..... process needs value stream mapping. Food was legit though.
