Hot, Customizable Meals in Traverse City—Ready the Moment the Director Yells “Cut!”
Whether you’re filming a sunrise scene on Old Mission Peninsula, rehearsing lines along the Boardman River, or blocking a late-night shoot behind the historic State Theatre, Best Food Trucks keeps Traverse City crews fueled and focused. Our team has spent years perfecting on-location food truck catering, so your meal breaks run as smoothly as your takes.
We collaborate with production managers to build rotating daily menus that showcase local favorites—think cherry-infused sauces and Great Lakes whitefish—while still pleasing vegan, gluten-free, and downright picky palates. From plotting the most efficient serving spots at the studio lot to streamlining our online ordering and pickup process, we handle every detail. We also vet every vendor for permits, insurance, and health certifications, then deliver a clear cost summary that keeps you on budget.
Looking for crowd-pleasers? Traverse City loves the pillowy pierogi and Cuban-style sandwiches from Lost Village Pierogi: The Polished Cuban Grill, and the street-side taco flair pumped out by King Wubbz. Add them to your daily rotation and watch your cast and crew race to the food line.
Choosing food truck catering is kinder to the environment too: fewer disposable trays, less leftovers, and virtually no wasted craft-services coffee. Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime at your Traverse City studio so you can focus on that perfect shot of the sun setting over Grand Traverse Bay—it’s one less thing for you to worry about.
Fuel Your Shoot and Traverse City’s Small-Business Scene
Booking food truck catering for your Traverse City studio isn’t just smart for the call sheet—it’s a direct investment in the community you’re capturing on film. Most of the trucks we deploy are run by local families who also sell at the Sara Hardy Farmers Market and park along Front Street during the National Cherry Festival. Every taco or whitefish slider your crew orders keeps dollars circulating right here in Northern Michigan, supporting fishermen, produce growers, and cherry orchards from Elk Rapids to Leelanau.
Food trucks are also a win for eco-friendly film productions. Because they cook to order in compact, energy-efficient kitchens, they burn less propane and create far less single-use waste than traditional buffet catering—no more half-empty hotel pans heading for the dumpster behind the soundstage. Pair that sustainability with our digital ordering system (goodbye paper tickets) and you’ve got the greenest “studio catering in Traverse City” available.
So the next time your production assistant Googles “low-budget film catering near me,” send them our way. Best Food Trucks will roll up, dish out the city’s best flavors, and leave the Boardman River shoreline—and your budget—looking picture-perfect.

All food was great. Boom boom shrimp was especially good. Cook was understaffed but did a remarkable job under pressure. Kudos.

Friendly, family like service and delicious pasta! I also appreciate the dressing for the Caesar salad being put on the side, so salad does not get soggy.

Amazing burgers and great value! True smash burger that gives that burger feel. Comeback sauce took it over the top 11/10

It was amazing! Loved the sauce and the chicken and how the chicken was prepared. Wish I had a few more veggies but otherwise loved it. Thanks

Papa Arepas was a big hit at my office. They arrived with plenty of time to set up, food ordering on their digital kiosk was easy and convenient, and the food was superb! We will definitely be having them back.

The listing should specify that addition of ranch in the boom boom wrap will come as a little container instead of being added into the wrap. Also, the wrap was cut with aluminum foil on it which resulted in fragments of aluminum in the wrap.

The staff was super friendly. We were looking forward to the fresh cut fries but they were cold. The burger buns were super fresh.
