We’ll partner with your production manager to build rotating daily menus that fit every diet from lobster-loving carnivores to vegan key grips.

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 crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)

The staff running the truck was amazing.. We had a lot of people bombard the truck after my mother’s services and they got people food quickly. They had their serving down. We would definitely hire them again.

We ordered the Chili Chicken Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, and an order of wings. Everything was delicious

The Buffalo Chicken Pizza was perfect and the Pepperoni with Bell Pepper was good. I personally had a problem with my veggie pizza, but it is really my fault because I guess the veggie pizza comes with Truffle Oil on it and either I didn't see that or I don't like Truffle Oil. So really the truck gets a 5.

It was fresh and delicious and phenomenal value at $15. I'll definitely eat there again next time they're at Peabody.
