Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Raleigh-Durham Studio Set!
Whether you’re shooting in downtown Raleigh, staging a scene in Durham’s historic tobacco warehouses, or grabbing B-roll out by Research Triangle Park, Best Food Trucks makes craft-services a breeze. We’ve spent years feeding film and TV crews, so we know how to keep your call sheet on schedule and your talent happy. From mapping the perfect serving spot on Fayetteville Street to coordinating power hookups on the American Tobacco Campus, our Triangle-based team handles every detail—including permits, insurance, and traffic flow—before the first plate is served.
Want rotating daily menus that never repeat? We’ll curate a line-up of the area’s favorite rolling kitchens. Imagine Tuesday tacos from Poblanos Tacos, a Wednesday Mediterranean feast with Mama Voula's, Thursday comfort food courtesy of Shmack'n Plates Bistro, and a Friday fusion finale starring La Republica or the crowd-pleasing bites of El Jefecito. We’ll even track dietary needs—vegan for the lead actress, gluten-free for the stunt team, extra-spicy for the grips—so nobody is left hungry.
Our digital ordering system lets cast and crew place meals from their phones, cutting wait times to nearly zero—perfect for those tight 30-minute breaks. Plus, food truck catering dramatically reduces packaging waste compared to boxed lunches, keeping the “City of Oaks” and “Bull City” just a little greener. Let Best Food Trucks handle your Raleigh-Durham studio catering so you can focus on lights, camera, and action.
Fueling Raleigh-Durham Sets—and the Local Economy
Every time you book food truck catering for a Raleigh or Durham studio shoot, you’re investing in the community that makes North Carolina’s film scene thrive. The trucks that roll up to your soundstage aren’t national chains—they’re family-run kitchens from South Saunders Street, Hillsborough Road, and everywhere in between. Your craft-services dollars go straight to local owners, from Raleigh-born chefs who learned BBQ from their grandparents to Durham food-truck couples paying tuition at NCCU or NC State.
Choosing food trucks for your production isn’t just good for the budget; it’s good for the planet. Compared with traditional buffet lines, mobile kitchens draw less power, use high-efficiency propane or electric griddles, and hand out compostable serviceware that meets Wake and Durham County sustainability guidelines. Fewer chafing dishes, fewer plastic clamshells—more of that “Keep the Triangle Green” spirit.
So the next time you’re googling “low-budget film catering near me” while blocking shots on Glenwood South or setting up lights on Durham’s Ninth Street, remember: Best Food Trucks connects you with the Triangle’s most creative rolling eateries. Great food, greener sets, stronger small businesses—action!

Food was good and I would order again. Nothing blew my mind (tho the sauce was quite tasty), but it was a good meal

I hosted an office event that was made wonderful by having Poblanos Taco Truck! The food was DELICIOUS and they were set up to serve 40 people very efficiently. Every one loved the food. Jonathan and his collegue were so friendly! Big Hit! Highly recommend.

The turkey burger was very well made and the fries were salted and spiced just right. Good crunch too.

Even though burger was a bit cold because I got there later, it had good flavor with spice level, texture was still firm and buns were not soggy or greasy

El Jefecito was so easy to work with. The tacos were delicious and the churros were out of this world. Our employees kept going back for a second Churro.

Frank and the crew were very friendly and accommodated those with dietary restrictions (GF, vegetarian, etc.) They even decided to set up cash payment so they could service a few other guests from another part of our organization that did not have tickets. The service was pretty fast, despite the line. The food was really good and I had several peoplke comment to me that they enjoyed the food very much. The food truck made the event a complete success, especially on this hot day! I would definitely use them again for another event and I will provide positive feedback to our property managers in hopes they will put Mama Voula's truck on our weekly Tuesday Food Truck rotation.
