Hot, Customizable Meals for Every St. Louis Studio Set!
Whether you’re shooting a commercial on Delmar Boulevard or filming an indie feature with the Gateway Arch in the background, Best Food Trucks delivers hassle-free food truck catering for studio productions in St. Louis. Our local team has spent years feeding crews from Soulard to Central West End, so we know exactly how to keep cast and crew fueled and on schedule.
We’ll partner with your production coordinator to build rotating daily menus, pinpoint the best service spots—be it a quiet corner of Forest Park or a secured lot in Midtown—and streamline mobile ordering and pickup. You get one point of contact while we vet every vendor for permits, insurance, and Health Department compliance. At wrap, you’ll receive a clear cost analysis that fits your budget and keeps the producers smiling.
St. Louis is famous for feeding creative minds, and our curated truck lineup showcases the city’s diverse flavors:
- New York Tom's Foodtruck — classic American comfort food that keeps camera operators energized through long takes.
- Havana's Cuisine — authentic Cuban sandwiches and plantain chips that transport your crew straight to Calle Ocho without leaving The Lou.
- Takozz — street-style tacos, elotes, and crave-worthy Quesabirria perfect for late-night shoots on the South Side.
- Homestyle Grill Food Truck — down-home Midwestern favorites that taste like Sunday supper in St. Charles.
- Buzz's Hawaiian Grill — island-fresh plates that bring a touch of aloha to the Mississippi riverfront.
Choosing food truck catering also shrinks your production’s carbon footprint—reusable serviceware and made-to-order meals mean less waste than traditional buffet lines. Let Best Food Trucks handle the meals so you can focus on capturing that perfect Mississippi River golden hour. From sunrise call times to late-night wrap parties, we’re the go-to solution for studio catering in St. Louis.
Backing St. Louis-Owned Trucks, One Production at a Time
Booking food truck catering for your St. Louis studio shoot does more than keep the craft table exciting—it pumps dollars straight back into our city’s small businesses. Most of the trucks we roll onto set are family-run operations based in neighborhoods like The Hill, Cherokee Street, and Tower Grove. Every gyro, gooey butter cake, or smash burger you order helps a local chef pay crew members, buy from regional farms, and keep the Lou’s culinary scene thriving.
Food trucks also check the sustainability box that modern productions demand. Their compact kitchens sip far less energy than a traditional commissary setup, and made-to-order meals mean fewer half-eaten Styrofoam clamshells heading to the dumpster behind the studio. Many of our partner trucks use compostable serviceware and recycle fryer oil through St. Louis Green Business Challenge vendors.
So the next time your production assistant Googles “low-budget film catering near me,” skip the bland deli trays and call Best Food Trucks. You’ll score rave reviews from cast and crew while giving a hometown boost to the entrepreneurs who make St. Louis taste like—well—St. Louis.

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

The fries were perfect! Very crispy and delicious. The chicken was tasty but a bit tough. There were so many orders - both online and walk-up - that they may have been a bit overwhelmed.

This is the 2nd time in the last two orders mine was incorrect. Luckily this time I checked before walking off. I was missing my fries and the fish was not Nashville hot.
