Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Richmond Studio Set
Whether you’re shooting a commercial on the Canal Walk, a series in historic Shockoe Bottom, or a big-budget feature in bustling Scott’s Addition, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable food truck catering for studios in Richmond. Our local team understands the tight timelines of production life: we’ll have piping-hot meals plated and ready the minute the A.D. calls “Lunch!”—so you can keep the cameras rolling.
We partner with an ever-growing fleet of RVA favorites to satisfy cast and crew of every stripe. Need smoky Virginia barbecue? Birmie's Fixins has you covered. Looking for feel-good American comfort food? Choose between the homestyle classics of Fantabulous Chef Service LLC, the crowd-pleasing plates from Curbside Creations, or the inventive eats at Shakedown Eats. Craving something different after a long night shoot? Noahsrockinbuns can roll up with bao buns and Asian-inspired specials that keep energy high.
From Carytown to Church Hill, we’ll design rotating daily menus, pinpoint the perfect serving spots on-lot or on-location, and streamline online ordering and pick-up so even the most persnickety eaters are happy. Every vendor is fully vetted for Richmond permits and insurance, and we’ll send a clear cost analysis that stays on budget. Bonus: food trucks slash food and packaging waste, keeping the James River—and your set—clean.
Let Best Food Trucks handle meal breaks for your Richmond studio production. Great food, zero guesswork, and one less thing for you to worry about while you create movie magic in the River City.
Fueling Richmond’s Small Businesses
Booking food truck catering for your studio set does more than keep your cast and crew happy—it keeps Richmond’s independent food scene thriving. Every truck we bring to your shoot is owned and operated by 804 entrepreneurs: family-run pitmasters from Manchester, scratch-made bakers from Northside, and global fusion chefs who got their start slinging plates at First Fridays. When your production spends locally, those dollars recirculate through the River City, strengthening the very neighborhoods that give our locations their character.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional craft services. Modern rigs are built to conserve energy, and their on-board kitchens eliminate the mountains of disposable chafing racks and Sterno cans you’d see with drop-off catering. Less waste on set means a cleaner James River and fewer trash runs during a hectic shoot day—win-win.
So the next time you open your phone and type “low-budget film catering near me” or “Richmond studio food trucks,” remember Best Food Trucks. We’ll serve unforgettable meals, uplift local businesses, and keep your production rolling on schedule.

Eric with S'more Love was so phenomenal! Not only was the desserts amazing, but so was the service provided. We were so pleased with the food truck and I am anxiously looking to see when we can book them again! Thank you for coming out to our event!

The food was great and had a good variety of flavors. The owner could have been friendlier and that is why I am only giving 4 stars.

Delicious!!! Rangoon‘s were a bit on the cool side, but still delicious. Everything else was hot and steamy. Can’t wait till you come back to Raintree again.

More than 5! They worked their butts off to get the food out. All of it was delicious! Probably the best burger meat I've ever had, melted in my mouth!

Food was great and she was very pleasant. She was by herself when I went down there but she had a great system and stayed positive during a hectic time. I loved being able to pre-order and that they texted me when my food was ready.

The food was incredibly tasty and the portions were large - enough left over for lunch tomorrow. There aren't many creole trucks out there so knocking it out of the park flavor-wise was great!

Delicious food, ready for pickup exactly when promised, and friendly, welcoming folks running the operation. I hope they return to Greyhawk Landing.

Food was delicious but I have a feeling I got someone else's order. Be careful with your online orders.

Everything was great but no one knew they could get a cookie, the sign for the type of pizza's and the cookie was not very visible. The team did a great job, food was hot and delicious (salad very good). We had some happy campers.
