Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Wilmington Studio Set
From the back lots at EUE/Screen Gems to indie shoots along the Cape Fear Riverwalk, Wilmington’s film scene—affectionately called “Hollywood East”—runs on tight schedules. Best Food Trucks brings reliable, eco-friendly food truck catering to every studio in Wilmington, NC, so your cast and crew can refuel fast and get back behind the camera.
Our local team will create rotating daily menus that showcase the Port City’s favorite mobile kitchens, like the smoky barbecue of The Plum Pit, refreshing juices from Nude Food, or the island spices of Hummingbird Island Cuisine. Craving something sweet between takes? MarveLicious Water Ice serves the state’s best homemade ice, while Williams Deluxe keeps everyone happy with classic Wilmington-style burgers.
We handle every detail—permitting, insurance vetting, service-window placement, digital ordering, and a clear cost analysis that stays on budget—so your meal breaks run smoother than a sunrise shot at Wrightsville Beach. Plus, food truck catering cuts down on single-use packaging and food waste, keeping our coastal city green.
When you need studio catering in Wilmington, NC, trust Best Food Trucks to deliver hot, customizable meals right on cue. Lights, camera, lunch!
Fueling Wilmington’s Film Sets—and Its Small Businesses
Booking food trucks for your Wilmington studio set isn’t just a smart way to keep cast and crew happy—it’s a direct investment in the Port City’s economy. Nearly every truck we partner with is a family-run venture that started right here in New Hanover County, from a chef who honed recipes at Cape Fear Community College to a barbecue pitmaster who first served crowds at the Riverfront Farmers Market. Every meal you order keeps dollars circulating in Wilmington’s independent food scene instead of a far-away catering conglomerate.
Our mobile kitchens are also kinder to the coast. Because food trucks cook on-board, they use a fraction of the energy and single-use packaging required by traditional drop-off catering. Many of our vendors run on biodiesel and compostable serviceware—small choices that help protect Wrightsville Beach, Masonboro Island, and the Cape Fear watershed we all love.
So the next time you search “film crew catering in Wilmington NC” or “low-budget studio catering near me,” skip the bulky buffet trays and call Best Food Trucks. You’ll get hot, customizable meals on time, support local entrepreneurs, and keep our coastal playground green. That’s a wrap everyone can celebrate!

Comments from Inspira Senior VP: The staff loved it. The vendor even made sandwiches & waffles brought them to OR staff that couldn’t get to the truck. They came from Morris County in north jersey. Very pleasant & accommodating. Please let them know of the great service

We tried the sandwiches with bacon jam for the first time. The burger and chicken sandwiches were delicious!!! We tend to order the grilled cheese burger and the chicken bacon club. Now I won't know which sandwich to order next time!😁

I ordered the Cuban sandwich without mustard but it came loaded with mustard. The sandwich was cooked perfectly and the pork was delicious but had way to much mustard. Otherwise I would’ve given 5 stars in lieu of 4. 😊 The pulled pork sandwich was delicious.

Tacos El Poblanito did an excellent job catering my client’s picnic. They kept in constant communication throughout the day, which made everything run smoothly. My client said the food was delicious, and the guests all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend them!

Pizza was still warm when I picked it up and had so much flavor. First time trying the veggie, it's a new fav.

Way too much sauce in the esquite that made it resemble more of a soup. I dumped out half the sauce so I could enjoy the corn more, but everything had good flavor.

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.

I had the pork arepas and they were delicious! I also heard good reviews from our guests about the Cuban sandwich, empanadas, and mango street tacos too. It was very easy working with the owners and they did a great job of feeding our guests in a timely/orderly manner! I would definitely recommend their food truck to others.
