Hot, Customizable Meals for Your St. Louis Studio
Whether you’re shooting a feature near Forest Park, filming commercials in Midtown, or producing the next hit series on the Central West End backlot, Best Food Trucks delivers award-winning St. Louis food truck catering for studios. Our local team understands the unique rhythm of film production in “The Lou,” so your crew eats hot, on-time meals—no matter how early the call sheet says “magic hour.”
We collaborate with your production office to build rotating daily menus, pick the best parking spots for quick walk-ups, and streamline online ordering so grips, gaffers, and talent get exactly what they want in minutes. You’ll receive a clear cost breakdown that stays on budget and meets union requirements, plus we pre-screen every vendor for permits and insurance—no surprises when the city inspector rolls by.
Need global flavors to keep morale high during a night shoot on the Mississippi riverfront? Book fan favorites like Havana's Cuisine for authentic Cuban sandwiches, Takozz for street tacos and quesabirria straight from the Yucatán playbook, homestyle smash burgers from Homestyle Grill Food Truck, island vibes courtesy of Buzz's Hawaiian Grill, or wood-fired pies by the legendary Blues Fired Pizza. Mix and match trucks across multiple shoot days to keep even the pickiest PA happy.
Choosing food trucks also shrinks your production’s footprint—reusable serviceware and made-to-order portions mean far less food and packaging waste than traditional buffet catering. Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime logistics so you can focus on getting that perfect arch-in-the-background shot.
Fueling Your Set—and St. Louis Small Businesses
Booking St. Louis food truck catering for studios does more than keep your crew satisfied between takes—it pours money right back into the 314. Most of our trucks are run by Hill-born family recipes, South City husband-and-wife teams, and Cherokee Street chefs chasing the next James Beard nod. Every order helps these independent owners pay their staff, source produce from the Soulard Farmers Market, and keep St. Louis’ vibrant culinary scene rolling.
Food trucks also win the sustainability category. Compact kitchens mean lower energy draw than conventional buffet lines, while made-to-order portions slash food waste—ideal when you’re filming on eco-certified sets around Forest Park or the revitalized riverfront. Many of our partners serve with compostable serviceware and recycle fryer oil through local biodiesel outfits like Mid-Missouri Bio.
Looking for “low-budget film catering near me” that’s socially responsible? Call Best Food Trucks. We’ll park a locally owned rig on your backlot, feed the crew like family, and give St. Louis’ small businesses a close-up in the process.

The food from Dragon's Den Cafe was delicious! We loved the uniqueness of the dishes, as well as the variety of offerings. Even the burgers weren't just burgers-they were unique and delicious in their own right. The variety of coffees and energy drinks was a definite plus. The staff was wonderful, too! We highly recommend Dragon's Den Cafe!

not one complaint about the food or service. Operators of the truck were very personable. I would and will recommend to others. Only thing i would add is some side heat on the spice. Some expressed the taste is great but would have liked to add some heat on the side

Nothing specific, my wife just thought the Sonora steak tacos were ok but nothing special. My 3 mahi mahi tacos tasted great but were cold and I had to heat them in the microwave.

First experience. All was pretty good. Burger was well seasoned, bacon was good. Could have used a bit more of the signature sauce. All in all a good experience
