Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Portland, ME Studio Crew
When the cameras are rolling in Portland’s vibrant arts scene—whether you’re shooting a commercial in the Old Port, a feature film on the Eastern Prom, or a streaming series near Thompson’s Point—you need food truck catering that’s fast, flexible, and unmistakably Maine. Best Food Trucks specializes in food truck catering for studios in Portland (ME), bringing locally loved trucks straight to set so your cast and crew stay fueled and focused.
We’ll collaborate with your production team to build rotating daily menus that keep things fresh from the first call time to the final wrap. Think gooey comfort classics from PB&ME, over-the-top dogs from Mainely Hotdogs, sweet and savory crêpes at sunrise courtesy of Crepe Elizabeth, crispy Nashville-style tenders from Frozen Rooster, and hearty coastal favorites by Salty Boyz. Every truck is fully vetted for city permits, insurance, and ServSafe certifications, so you can focus on getting the perfect shot of Casco Bay instead of worrying about compliance.
Our Portland studio catering service streamlines ordering and pickup—no more long buffet lines that eat into valuable shooting hours. Crew members simply pre-order on their phones, swing by the truck during their scheduled meal break, and head back to set with piping-hot plates. Less downtime, less waste, more happy bellies.
Best Food Trucks will also provide a transparent cost analysis that fits your budget, plus eco-smart packaging to keep our beloved Back Cove and working waterfront beautiful. From sunrise breakfasts at Bug Light to late-night wraps in Bayside, trust us to make mealtime the easiest part of your production day.
Fueling Portland, ME’s Small-Business Scene
Booking a food truck for your studio set isn’t just the tastiest move you can make—it’s an investment in Portland’s own makers and doers. Every truck we dispatch is a family-run or owner-operated small business, whether it’s a Munjoy Hill couple slinging lobster grilled cheese or a Deering High grad serving Bao buns inspired by Portland’s sister city of Shinagawa. Your catering dollars stay right here in the 207, circulating through local roasters like Coffee By Design, farmers from the Scarborough Marsh, and fishermen unloading at Widgery Wharf.
Sustainability matters on and off camera, and Portland’s green standards are some of the strictest in New England. Our partner trucks run energy-efficient equipment, compost with Garbage to Garden, and serve in recyclable or biodegradable serviceware that keeps Back Cove looking postcard-perfect. Compared with traditional buffet setups, food trucks cut fuel usage, food waste, and rental needs—an eco-win that will make your production’s green-room report shine.
So the next time your production coordinator Googles “low-budget film catering near me” or “food truck catering for studios in Portland ME,” remember that Best Food Trucks delivers delicious meals, a lighter footprint, and real support for the small businesses that make Maine taste like nowhere else.

This was my first time looking into getting a food truck on site to feed our employees. You guys made it very easy and so did Paul, with Doc E's BBQ! The food was delicious and everyone I talked to say the same! The portions were perfect and was a very easy process. I had the pulled pork with slaw on top for my first plate and then later on Paul gave us a pan of ribs that were phenomenal!

The whole thing! Everything was great. Chicken and black beans were perfectly seasoned, rice was the proper consistency, the plantain was a nice touch and the fried patty things was also exceptional. Sauce was great too.

I love Chef Rey's. Get it every time it's at Boeing! Love the portions, it's always hot, juicy and delicious!!!

Chopping the brisket instead of pulling it would make it easier to eat on a grilled cheese sandwich to avoid larger amounts coming out together. Also, double check preorders to ensure everything is accounted for...I shouldn't have to go back to the truck for the side of Barbecue sauce that I had ordered.

The pizza was amazing. Wood fire from a truck is always a hit. Would like to see them in the rotation more often.

Naco Taco was fantastic to work with! As organizers, they came early to set up, were easy to communicate with throughout the event, and were so friendly. The food was fantastic and everyone raved about it. They were also especially thoughtful when it came to our guests' dietary needs, carefully checking and clarifying what people were able to eat!
