Hot, Customizable Meals for Portland Studios—Ready When You Call “Cut!”
Filming in Stumptown moves fast, and so do we. Best Food Trucks has spent years fueling crews on Portland-area sound stages from the Northwest Industrial District to the bustling Eastside Warehouse District. When you book our food truck catering for studio productions in Portland, your cast and crew get the same crave-worthy options they line up for at Cartopia or the Cart Blocks on SW Ankeny.
We’ll collaborate with your production team to build rotating daily menus that keep 14-hour shoot days fresh. Think bulgogi rice bowls from Kim Jong Grillin, sunrise chorizo burritos from Amelia's Food Cart, steamy Oaxacan tamales courtesy of Tamale Boy, rich mole platters from Mole Mole Mexican Cuisine, and Nutella-banana crêpes made to order at Cafe de Crepe. Vegan, gluten-free, or dairy-free? No problem—Portland’s food trucks wrote the book on dietary flexibility.
Our studio catering specialists will scout the best on-lot or curbside locations, schedule staggered service windows to avoid crowding, streamline mobile ordering and pickup, and vet every vendor for City of Portland permits, OLCC compliance, and insurance. Before the first slate snaps, you’ll receive a transparent cost breakdown that protects both your budget and your shooting schedule.
Choosing food truck catering in Portland isn’t just convenient—it’s sustainable. Trucks cook to order, which slashes food and packaging waste compared to traditional craft services. Let Best Food Trucks handle the hungry details so your AD can focus on the call sheet. With us on set, mealtime is one less thing to worry about.
Supporting Portland’s Indie Food Scene—One Set at a Time
Every time you book Portland studio food truck catering through Best Food Trucks, you’re doing more than feeding your crew—you’re investing directly in Rose City entrepreneurs. Most of the trucks that roll up to your SE Clinton loft shoot or Northwest Front Avenue soundstage are run by solo chefs, family teams, or first-generation restaurateurs who perfected their menus at pods like Prost! on Mississippi or Hawthorne Asylum. Your catering dollars keep their burners lit and their kids in Portland Public Schools, not a corporate HQ in another state.
Choosing food trucks is also the greener call. Because meals are cooked to order in compact kitchens that meet Portland’s strict composting and recycling guidelines, trucks use far less energy and produce noticeably less waste than traditional buffet service. Many vendors even swap single-use plastics for BPI-certified compostable ware to stay in line with the city’s sustainability ethos.
So the next time you’re googling “low-budget film catering near me” from a set in Slabtown or a studio loft in the Pearl, remember: a food truck keeps your production on schedule, your budget intact, and Portland’s small-business heartbeat going strong. Hit us up and we’ll park a socially responsible, flavor-packed kitchen right outside your door.

The nachos had great flavor but the beef and chicken could have been hotter. The meat was a little cold but overall, I would definitely get the nachos again.

Nope it was really good. Was not expecting 5 stars so did not give a 5, but beats typical food trucks rated 2 or 3

Fries and shrimp were amazing... however, my crab cake smelled and tasted funny and was s little discolored on the inside.
