Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Richmond Studio Set
Whether you’re filming along the cobblestones of Shockoe Bottom, shooting B-roll on the banks of the James, or blocking scenes inside the sound stages of Scott’s Addition, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable food truck catering for studios in Richmond. Our team’s years of experience feeding crews mean your meal breaks run on time, every time—so the only thing you’re waiting on is the next take.
We work hand-in-hand with your production office to craft rotating daily menus that satisfy everyone from the gaffer who craves biscuits & gravy to the lead actor looking for vegan bao. We map out the best location for service, streamline online ordering and on-set pickup, verify that every truck is fully permitted and insured for the Commonwealth of Virginia, and provide a clear cost analysis that keeps the budget supervisor smiling. Plus, food truck catering produces far less food and packaging waste than traditional drop-off catering—something every Richmond native who cares about the James River can appreciate.
Check out a few local favorites ready to roll up to your lot:
- Fantabulous Chef Service LLC – Richmond-style American comfort food that makes a 4 a.m. call time feel like Sunday brunch.
- Curbside Creations – Burgers, melts, and all the stick-to-your-ribs classics your grip crew will cheer for.
- Noahsrockinbuns – “Action!” on fresh bao buns and chef-driven Asian specialties that keep energy high between takes.
- Shakedown Eats – Farm-fresh American comfort plates perfect for a quick bite between lighting setups.
- Latin Quarter – Caribbean flavors that turn your craft-services area into Carytown on a festival weekend.
Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime logistics for your Richmond studio production so you can focus on nailing the shot. From breakfast on day one to the final “that’s a wrap,” we’ve got catering covered.
Fueling RVA Dreams & Supporting Small Businesses
Booking a food truck for your Richmond studio set does more than feed hungry cast and crew—it pours money back into the very neighborhoods that give the River City its unmistakable flavor. Nearly every truck we partner with is a family-run or solo-owner operation, whether they’re based out of a Northside commissary or a pop-up kitchen in Manchester. Your catering dollars help those entrepreneurs keep their grills hot, their kids in local schools, and Richmond’s food scene famously eclectic.
Going mobile is also the green choice for on-set meals. Our trucks run high-efficiency equipment, prep to order, and serve in compostable packaging—cutting down on the diesel generators and trash bags that traditional craft-services tables can pile up. It’s sustainability RVA-style, the same spirit that keeps the James River Park System pristine.
So the next time the production coordinator types “Richmond film set food truck catering” or “low-budget studio catering near me,” skip the bland boxed lunches and book a truck that supports the local economy, the environment, and your bottom line. Great food, happy crew, stronger Richmond—what’s not to love?

Flavor and quality were amazing. A bit pricy but they bring the food to you and you can avoid the wait. Well worth it. 10/10

I was happy with everything! If I was nit picking I'd say the drinks were not cold but that wasn't a big deal to me since we are at home. It would have been if we had been out somewhere say at the beach or a park or concert etc.

Everything! Bang bang chicken is my favorite. It's highly protein based with great sauce coating over the chicken and fries to boot. Can last me all day.

We tried the sandwiches with bacon jam for the first time. The burger and chicken sandwiches were delicious!!! We tend to order the grilled cheese burger and the chicken bacon club. Now I won't know which sandwich to order next time!😁

I ordered the Cuban sandwich without mustard but it came loaded with mustard. The sandwich was cooked perfectly and the pork was delicious but had way to much mustard. Otherwise I would’ve given 5 stars in lieu of 4. 😊 The pulled pork sandwich was delicious.

Tacos El Poblanito did an excellent job catering my client’s picnic. They kept in constant communication throughout the day, which made everything run smoothly. My client said the food was delicious, and the guests all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend them!

Pizza was still warm when I picked it up and had so much flavor. First time trying the veggie, it's a new fav.
