Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Portland Studio Set
Best Food Trucks has spent years fueling film and TV crews from Slabtown soundstages to warehouse shoots in the Central Eastside. When you book our food truck catering for studio productions in Portland, we organize everything—from crafting rotating daily menus that keep talent and crew excited, to mapping efficient service spots that won’t clog up SE 11th Avenue traffic. We handle permit checks, insurance, and streamlined mobile ordering so your meal breaks hit right on cue, rain or (rare) shine.
Our local lineup features Portland legends like the Korean-BBQ-meets-hipster flair of Kim Jong Grillin, breakfast-to-late-night burritos from Amelia's Food Cart, and crowd-pleasing tamales courtesy of Tamale Boy. Need saucy mole for a night shoot on Alberta? Mole Mole Mexican Cuisine has you covered, while crepe-craving camera ops can grab sweet or savory treats at Cafe de Crepe. Every truck we bring on-set meets City of Portland health standards and carries full liability insurance, so you can focus on getting the perfect shot.
Food truck catering isn’t just tasty—it’s sustainable. Portland crews appreciate that our trucks generate far less food and packaging waste than traditional buffet service, aligning with the city’s eco-minded culture. Let Best Food Trucks remove the guesswork from studio catering in Portland; whether you’re filming along the Willamette waterfront or up the misty slopes of Forest Park, we’ll keep your cast and crew satisfied and on schedule—within budget, every time.
Support Portland’s Indie Food Scene While You Feed Your Set
Booking food truck catering for studio work in Portland doesn’t just keep your cast and crew happy—it also funnels dollars straight back into the Rose City’s vibrant small-business community. Nearly every truck we roll on set is a one-rig operation run by a family, a pair of friends from culinary school, or the chef you’ve seen at the Saturday Market since the 90s. Choosing them for your Portland studio catering means your budget supports local entrepreneurs instead of anonymous corporate kitchens.
Food trucks are a natural fit for Portland’s eco-minded ethos, too. Their compact kitchens sip far less power than a traditional commissary line, and many of our partner trucks compost, recycle, and stock biodegradable service ware that meets City of Portland Green Catering guidelines. Fewer chafing dishes and disposable trays equals less trash on your set and in our landfills—another win for crews shooting in the Pacific Northwest’s pristine landscapes.
So the next time you’re googling “low-budget film catering near me” at 2 a.m. from a soundstage in Northwest, give Best Food Trucks a call. We’ll bring Portland’s best street eats to your studio door, keep your production on schedule, and help keep Portland weird—in the very best way.

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard
