Hot, Customizable Meals for Every St. Louis Studio Set
Whether you’re filming a feature inside the historic Central West End warehouses or shooting a commercial along the mighty Mississippi with the Gateway Arch in the background, Best Food Trucks delivers studio catering St. Louis crews rave about. Our local reps know the ins and outs of STL traffic, parking permits, and union meal-break rules, so your cast and crew stay on schedule and well fed.
We’ll build rotating daily menus featuring some of the Lou’s most beloved food trucks. Imagine authentic Cuban bowls from Havana's Cuisine, sizzling street tacos from Takozz, stick-to-your-ribs American comfort plates via Homestyle Grill Food Truck, island flavors from Buzz's Hawaiian Grill, and wood-fired pies straight out of Blues Fired Pizza. Your crew can preorder on their phones, walk up when their name pops, and be back on set before the director yells, “Rolling!”
From scouting the best service spot—be it a back lot at Gateway Studios or the parking deck off Olive—to vetting permits and insurance, we handle every detail. Our digital ordering platform slashes wait times and eliminates paper tickets, while portion-controlled prep cuts down on food and packaging waste (something every St. Louisan who loves Forest Park can appreciate).
You’ll receive a transparent cost analysis that keeps your production on budget and your producers smiling. Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your St. Louis studio; it’s one less thing for you to worry about while you make movie magic in the Mound City.
Supporting St. Louis Small Businesses
Booking food truck studio catering in St. Louis isn’t just the tastiest way to keep your cast and crew humming—it's also a direct investment in our city’s network of family-owned businesses. The majority of the trucks we partner with are run by local chefs who perfected their recipes in neighborhoods like The Hill, Soulard, and the Delmar Loop. Every gyro, quesadilla, or gooey butter cake bite you order funnels dollars back into those communities and helps keep the Lou’s food scene as vibrant as a Saturday morning at the Soulard Farmers Market.
Food trucks are naturally lighter on the grid than traditional caterers—smaller footprints, energy-efficient commissaries, and digital ordering that wipes out paper tickets. We even coordinate post-service composting through STL Compost whenever possible, so your production can brag about diverting waste from our beloved Mississippi River watershed.

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 portion was more than expected and hot and fresh. A coworker ordered the Pepperoni pizza and it was really good as well

I really liked Max’s hot chicken. I got the gyro plate and it was great quantity. The only thing I didn’t enjoy as much was that the meat was too salty.

The nachos had great flavor but the beef and chicken could have been hotter. The meat was a little cold but overall, I would definitely get the nachos again.
