    Awesome! Really, it's four star food, but when you bring lobster rolls to a smallish town far from…read morethe ocean with a food scene consisting of middle of the road chain American cuisine, then you're awesome. This Cousins food truck is from Birmingham and has been to the Fly Wheel craft brewery a few times in the last year. The staff seem like a nice crew, always friendly. The lines have been usually very long but on this cold Saturday (15 degrees) the line was short, but remained consistent. The menu is short but good. We got the Maine and Connecticut versions, lobster tots, clam chowder, shrimp taco, and some whoopie pies (I know, I know but my wife doesn't like lobster, before you start thinking "what a fat a..", our daughter was home for weekend, the other lobster roll was hers, though I'd happily eaten both rolls). Lot of comments about being pricey, but it's cheaper than at any restaurant, and the portions are the same, so prices are about right if not on the cheap side. The rolls were very good, my daughter and I preferred the warm buttery Connecticut version. The taco was also good but probably be better with lobster. The clam chowder was delicious, with large chunks of clam. The tots paired well with the rolls and the taco and contained a good amount of lobster. Most people get it to go and leave but some stay and dine in the brewery which has a few long tables. They also have a nice stone patio with a fire place to warm up. When they're in town you should really pick up some lobster rolls for a nice lunch or dinner.

    When I saw this food truck was at a local brewery I just had to try again…read more First time I picked the lobster grilled cheese and enjoyed it but decided to try something different this time and chose the lobster quesadilla. I liked both equally. Both times I got the Whoopie Pie and it was excellent. My vegetarian daughter chose the kids grilled cheese which was really her only option. Fortunately she was pleased but it would be nice to have other options as well. I wish there was the option to order online without downloading the app. It would have saved us from standing out in the bitter cold while waiting for our order to get ready.
