having witnessed the high priced lobster rolls offered everywhere in NE I was shocked and delighted by Joe's offering of a lobster roll for $16! taking a well calculated risk I bought 2 and devoured them in an embarrassingly short time. this is a takeout place, quick service and nice menu. on my once a year visit to Beverly I will do it again. read more

We called in our order. We were going to order 2 clam roll combos but were told we would be better off with an order of clams and a order of fries so that's what we did. We got home to split the order and there was not much food for 2, not sure how small the clam rolls are if they have fewer clams than this. Also the clams were tiny, the bellies were so small I thought we got clam strips. Should have driven to Ipswich or Essex but thought we would try the local place. Had heard great things but I think the next trip will be out of the city. Fries were ok and the service was fine. read more

Went to the food truck for lunch and got a lobster roll. It was pretty good and they had a generous amount of lobster on it so it definitely made it worth the $15! I did think it was a little lacking in flavor and kind of one note. Also the menu on their food truck is very limited. read more

Joe's On A Roll - Half eaten lobster roll. Lots of lobster!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

My husband went by to get a picnic lunch for us on the beach ... the clam chowder was ridiculously greasy, it tasted like it had been a few days old. The apple crisp was hard cold and soggy mess, it made us both have upset stomach for the rest of the night, I do not think I will ever go back read more

Really good, no-frills rolls packed with sweet, luscious, fresh-from-the-bay-that-day lobster goodness. Chowder and Bisque are very good also. Worth the trip, but make sure you don't do what I did and not verify food truck's location first (I went to Beverly first, then learned truck was up in Newburyport at a festival there. Owners are awesome and friendly too! read more

Joe's On A Roll - Food Trucks Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

After a long 30 minute drive, I believe this was worth it here's why. I order the deluxe lobster combo (lobster roll, clam chowder, cape cod chips and coke) and it was little over $21 after taxes. First the lobster roll, at first looking at it I felt a slight disappointment by the size but once I unwrapped it everything changed. The lobster was chopped to bite size pieces that let you know were lobster and the amount of mayo was perfect, a solid coat but enough for the favor of the lobster. The favor of the lobster was delicious a fresh taste and sweetness to it. The clam chowder, at first I was concerned because I was having a hard time finding pieces but after a few bites you'll understand that it's has a good amount of clams. Not only that but the creaminess and the way everything melts in your mouth, perfect. TL:DR Lobster roll was good and generous portions but small. Clam chowder good amount of clams and creamy. read more

This small, order at the window unassuming little building holds some really great food. I got the Deluxe Lobster Roll Combo which includes a lobster roll on a hot dog bun (small but full of lobster meat), chips, lobster bisque, and a canned drink. It was very good for 20.00. I didn't even stop to take a photo because I ate it so quickly. Will definitely go back and try the hot roll with butter read more

Quick window service, fair pricing and same tasty lobster rolls as their old food truck. Good ears

This place is Beverlys hidden gem!! My friend and I went a few weeks ago and returned two days after our first visit because we loved it so much. My friend has many severe allergies (gluten, dairy, nuts, etc.) and struggles to find places as accommodating as Joes. We were both able to enjoy tasty lobster rolls and will definitely be back!! read more

They have great lobster rolls and New England clam chowder. The lobster meat tasted fresh. The chowder was the perfect consistency and nice & hot. We ordered from them when they were parked at Far From The Tree Cider in Salem during Halloween weekend. If you like Lobster rolls or chowder, definitely give them a try. read more

Clam chowder for breakfast at tha Pete Frates 5k. On a rainny morning. Very good clam chowder really hit the spot! I was gonna go back for a lobster roll. Then the heavens opened up and cleared the park out. Next time Joe's on a Roll your mine! read more

See all

We found this food truck on a whim, driving home from a beach day in Gloucester. This place needs more Yelp reviews, but make no mistake, its GOOD. A generous portion of great lobster. And for only $20, it comes with chips, a drink, and your choice of chowder or lobster bisque. Both soups were great, but the bisque is better. Enjoy! read more

Joe's On A Roll - So good! Look at all that lobster! This whole combo meal is only $20. I preferred the lobster bisque over the chowder myself. - Food Trucks Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

We LOVED this place. The fried clams and lobster were delish. I even loved the tartar sauce. The ladies serving us went out of their way to make us feel at home. read more

So good. I've driven by this place half a dozen times going to a client meeting. Today was the day to try it. I opted for the Haddock sandwich over the lobster roll. It was fantastic. The tartar sauce and the slaw were great, too. Next run to Beverly I'll be bringing home a surprise lunch for my wife. read more

AMAZING. I go to school in the area and my friends and I were looking for some great, authentic seafood that we could take down to the water and enjoy. Everything we got from Joe's on a Roll was absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. We each got the $20 special which was a lobster roll, your choice of lobster bisque or clam chowder, chips, and a drink. The lobster bisque is out of this world and the lobster roll was packed with fresh claw meat. The staff was also awesome. They were eager to let us try samples of the bisque and chowder and provided the fast and friendly service you would expect from a well-run food truck. We will DEFINITELY be back. Thank you Joes on a roll for our little taste of summer! read more

What can I say? Scollops and shrimp for 20.00? And delish. To boot! Fries may be extra, but very tasty! Give them a try, YOU WILL BE BACK!

This is the story of 2 Lobster Rolls. Last week my wife and I went to Joe's on a Roll for the first time. It was Tuesday and not very busy. We ordered 2 Lobster Rolls with mayo, and 2 Cole Slaw. Took them home and were very satisfied. Rolls were grilled, and filled with fresh lobster. That was then. Today is Saturday and we decided to try Joe's again. We ordered almost the same thing except my wife wanted to try the hot buttered Lobster Roll. Took them home and noticed the lobster did not look the same, and did not taste the same. It simply was not fresh, and I've eaten a lot of lobster in my life. My wife's looked like it came out of the microwave. None the less, we ate almost two hours ago and still have an aftertaste in our mouths. If you ever saw the Michael Douglas movie "Falling Down", there is a scene where he goes into a burger joint, (Whammy Burger). He initially wants breakfast but changes his mind and orders a burger. He gets served opens his burger box and expresses disappointment. "You see, this is what I mean. Look at the picture of that burger. Plump, juicy, cooked perfectly. Now look at this sorry looking squashed thing!" I know a Lobster Roll is not a burger but today we got the Sorry Looking Squashed Thing and the lobster meat was not fresh! The Cole slaw was good though. read more

The food truck was amazing. The lobster roll was packed with lobster and and mayo. Nothing else. The lobster bisque rivals the best seafood restaurants in the city. I went to the restaurant yesterday and got lobster rolls and bisque. It was very disappointing. The bisque was very thin with 2 pieces of lobster in it and the lobster roll tasted like they may have changed the mayo they use and my bun was burned. I will give them another chance before I decide not to go there anymore but $46.00 in food that was marginal at best is not something I'm happy about. read more

We found ourselves in Beverly and I looked up seafood restaurants on Yelp and found Joe's on a Roll. They did not disappoint. The lobster bisque was so tasty, as were the lobster rolls. The fries were perfect. Prices were reasonable. Because outdoor seating was unavailable, one of the servers recommended a very nice nearby park for us to sit in.which I wish I lived close by because I'd be going back as soon as possible! read more

The rolls were good but tiny. So don't expect a lot. However their lobster bisque was great. All I needed was a glass of wine. On the pricy side for a food truck. read more

Amazing food and friendly, efficient staff every time I have been to Joe's! Tonight we had delicious clam chowder, fresh juicy lobster rolls and decadent homemade French fries all cooked to perfection by the owner, Nikki. And we followed it up with an incredible, one of a kind brownie/Rice Krispy/peanut butter cup dessert baked by Deb B. Don't drive by...stop and step up to the window and talk to Beth about all Joe's has to offer! Fresh, local, perfectly executed seafood that never disappoints! read more

We ordered the lobster bisque for Christmas dinner. It was incredible. Tons of lobster and just the right balance of cream and sherry. Everyone was very impressed with the quality. We will order again for sure. read more

The meal deal is a great value at $20 since it includes chips , drinks and soup. I was really full ! Lobster roll is good- I would recommend adding a bed of lettuce to make it even better read more

Good enough! The roll was not the best, but the lobster was great and plenty.

Bought a lobster roll before going out on the boat. When I opened the bag....heavy smell of ammonia. Needless to say.....threw the roll into Beverly Harbor (not the trash) and went hungry for the afternoon. read more

The lobster roll was very good. The clam chowder tasted as if it came from can It was very salty and just didn't taste very fresh.

Best lobster Mac and cheese I've ever had! And my husband loved loved the lobster roll!

Ordered shrimp roll and scallop roll. Both were very good. IMHO the shrimp was under cooked.Color was not white but translucent grey. Ewe. I will try again read more

They have the best lobster rolls and lobster bisque. It helps that they get the freshest lobster possible. They also sell delectable lobster shaped cookies from time to time. Friendly quick service. It is great. Limited parking is a bit of problem because it seems the spaces are always taken. It is great if you want something substantial and quick take out. Definitely not your Burger King or McDonalds. read more

Excellent lobster rolls! Happened upon this place on Water St. in Beverly and decided to stop for a couple of lobster rolls for my wife and I. We got them Connecticut style-warmed with butter- and they were served on buttered griddled buns. There was a ton of meat- lots of claw and tail meat that was fresh and sweet. This is a family run operation with the lobsters being pulled to shore about 50 yards away at the nearby dock. Doesn't get fresher than that! A brick and mortar store is in the works for Beverly soon... read more

Great lobster roll lots of fresh meat and great price, the clam chowder was thick and creamy had plenty of clams will be back..

We come visit the area at least once a year. We went to Salem this past weekend, whole family in tow, to celebrate my daughters 18th birthday. One of her requests was to go to her favorite place, The Lobster Shanty for a lobster roll. My husband found Joe's on a Roll online and convinced our birthday girl we need to go there. We went to the little store front location, not the actual food truck. Now, I'm not saying The Lobster Shanty in Salem has better lobster rolls in comparison to others we have had, but compared to Joe's, there was no comparison. First thing I noticed when I opened up my roll, was a nice black hair stuck onto my dingy looking lobster roll. Okay, I get it, things happen. BUT to our dismay the birthday girl also found a lovely black hair as well. The lobster itself was chewy and over cooked. Which actually, in hindsight was okay, considering there wasnt much lobster meat on it, so I guess that helped in a way make it easier to actually chew. I was physically nauseated and didnt even finish it. Same for my daughter. My husband who convinced us to try it felt really bad. Next time, its straight to the Lobster Shanty and cya Joe' on a Roll! read more

Not what I was expecting... did some research prior to coming here and saw some great things. Ended up getting a hot lobster roll and bisque. The roll barely had any meat in it! Finished it in about five bites. The bisque wasn't much better. Not sure if they give more on the truck but I don't think I will be going back to the restaurant. Pretty disappointed. read more

Amazing. Four steamed lobsters ready to go. Picked them up, brought them home and we feasted on them. Some of the most tender and delicious lobsters I've ever had. Super easy, and accessible. Thanks guys, we'll be seeing you again soon! read more

We had the Joe's crew (Jenn, Catie, Emily) at our wedding. Couldn't have been better! If you've never eaten a lobster role from Joe's, you haven't lived anyway. Our guests LOVED them, the clam chowder, lobster bisque, Cape Cod chips, hot dogs... People were raving about it! So delicious! As such, the ladies in the truck were working their butts off on a hot summer's night, but with huge smiles on their faces the whole time. Everyone from Joe's is super friendly, fun, and easy to work with. We cannot recommend them enough! read more

Don't be fooled by the size of the menu , this place is specialized for lobster and soups that are seafood based. I had driven by for a year before stopping by. Why did I wait?! I am a lobster bisque snob. This was better than Legal Seafood or any other that I have had all over the world. Thick, creamy and was full of big chunks of Lobster. It was perfect. I will compare all others to this. The Haddock sandwich was thick, moist and on a perfectly toasted bun. The clams were fried to a nice crisp crunch that didn't have a heavy oil taste and the bellies were medium size . Small bellies can be low in flavor and large can be to mushy and gritty. The fries were long and thick but due to me arriving late, they were cold. I look forward to trying them again. The Bisque was $6. I pay $12-18 are fine restaurants and never have this quality . They have daily specials that may not be online so go check it out. read more

Best Lobster roll I ever had. Only problem is I need to eat 2 because they are that good! Huge chunks of lobster meat and very light mayo on a toasted roll . Really thick and creamy clam chowder. Definitely need to go back and try the fried clams. You also can't beat the price! read more

Pretty much the worst truck food ever. Clam Chowder was a gelatinous blob of bland non descriptive matter. There may have been a clam in it I'm not sure. We ordered hot dogs and they too were a mushy mystery, the roll was nicely toasted, that's the one star. The truck was outside The Cabot in Beverly. I'd hope Joe's On A Roll would step it up and bring some quality to their offerings. Their calendar had two dates penciled in for May, this might be the wake up call they need. read more

Freshest lobster roll on the north shore!!! Joe's is bomb.com!!!! If you are looking for a lobster roll you NEED to try one.

Not the best lobster roll I have ever had but a good value. $20 for chowder/bisque, decent lobster roll, chips, drink, pretty good. Actually the lobster bisque is pretty good, don't expect large chunks of lobster in it. The only issue there was an occasional piece of shell in the bisque and roll, not intolerable, but closer attention would be appreciated. read more
