Food: 3* Service: 4* Ambiance: 3* Taste: 3* Happened upon this place and thought 'lobster rolls in cali?' Tried the lobster roll. Like others commented the price tag for what you get is paltry. The lobster was good, and butter is always good, but small. Maybe I'll have to go to Boston instead. read more

So have you ever waited to try something for so long that when you actually have it you are let down because of your own anticipation. Well that did not happen to me when I finally got to try a Lobster roll from the famous LobstaTruck. A few years ago I was at the Tustin AMC when I saw the truck. I had heard about it so we went over only to see a line that was 40 yards deep. No way to make our movie so we put it off. A few months ago I was somewhere that they were going to be only to learn that the truck broke down and the killer was last month when I was in Irvine and saw on Twitter that they were a couple blocks away. I finished my meeting and drove right over only to see the driving away. Aaahhgggg!!!! So today was a few miles away in Long Beach and decided to try the roll. I was shocked to find that there was no line and only a few marines that had just picked up their orders. I was surprised to hear whether I wanted butter or mayo. I thought I all rolls came with mayo but I asked what was more popular. The gal mentioned that the butter was more popular so I had to try that one. I was thinking about adding the extra meat but I am glad I didn't, the roll was perfect although I wish it were a little bigger. The roll here comes on what looks like a giant buttered Texas toast, not the hoagie type roll I was imagining but the toast was really delicious and adds a lot of taste to the roll. My roll had plenty of meat and had a few big chunks that you can really bite into. It had some butter on the lobster but not so much that it was oily. Just perfect. I cant believe how good it was to taste this awesome explosion of deliciousness and I cant wait to get back to try the sandwich with mayo; you know for research. Next time I will also try the lobster bisque soup. The Marine that was eating next to me also had the soup and it really made me crave it but I had a big breakfast this morning and so I will have to chase down this truck again. read more

Definitely a place to go back too!! It's a dent on your pocket but a gold star for your mouth. The lobster roll and the lobster tots and the grill cheese are fire. read more

I love me some Lobstatruck! I crave the big chunks of lobster on a warm bun smothered with butter almost daily. So. Good. I got to try Lobstatruck for the first time (finally!) when they were part of the Truck Squad meet up in Fullerton (Imperial and Harbor). If you want to know their whereabouts, they post their schedule for the week on their website. When I got there, Lobstatruck had the longest line out of all the food trucks. I got 1 lobster roll with butter ($13) for myself. The roll was smaller than I expected lengthwise, but it was packed with tons of lobster. Not just tiny lobster pieces, but HUGE chunks! I got to try the lobster roll with both butter and mayo in one, and I definitely recommend getting the all butter roll instead. I found the mayo overpowered the lobster flavor, unlike the butter which just enhanced it. The lobster roll with butter was so delicious, I wished I had another at the time. Many people complain about the $13 price for the lobster roll but you have to consider these factors: - Lobster is not cheap - Food from a food truck is always pricey - Other lobster rolls elsewhere (like Lobster Me in Las Vegas) cost even more AND don't taste as good as the ones from Lobstatruck In my opinion, the money is worth it. Next time I catch Lobstatruck, I will buy two without hesitation. Seldom do I eat lobster, so why not? When I went, they were out of clam chowder already. I will definitely have to have that next time (if they don't run out). **Here's a tip if you plan on visiting a food truck!** Bring your own drinks-- water or soda can cost anywhere from $1.50-$2 each :) read more

Ohhh Lobstatruck is such a treat. A bunch of fresh hot lobster meat on a buttery toasted bread roll with warm butter drizzled on top? Yes please! The lobsta roll was $12 which is fine, but it was kind of small. It was the perfect size for a light meal, but if you're a big eater, you'll probably be able to scarf down five or six of these easy. I can't wait to try the crab roll next time and some of their clam chowder. read more

Lobstatruck - Lobsta roll - Food Trucks Near Me - Fullerton, California

Lobster = the bacon of the sea. Sure they look like mutant scorpions on steroids, and someday their irradiated descendants are destined to rise from the oceans to wreak their vengeance on humanity for our transgressions against the planet-- but for now, they're weak and tasty. The only way to ruin Lobster is to overcook it, and the only "seasoning" it needs is butter. So for my two cents, the Lobsta Truck hit upon a winning formula: 1 toasted Boston-style hot dog bun + a buncha warm, juicy lobster meat + butter = MY LUNCH!! Now if only it were a little larger..! There wasn't a ruler handy at the time, but it seemed to be about 5 inches long. For twelve bucks, I was wanting more. Much more. So naturally, I rewarded Lobsta Truck for its stinginess by ordering a cup of bisque. Take that, you greedy little butter truckers! I wasn't as excited by the lobster bisque. It was alright...not as rich and flavorful as I'd like, but it did fill in the whiney gaps in my tummy, left over from the smallish lobster roll. The other thing they did beautifully was the freshly squeezed lemonade. It did seem to take longer than the other menu items -- did they actually squeeze and mix each cup? I didn't happen to see, but when it finally came out it was just the way I like it: simple, and not too sweetened. This was the very beverage needed for a lobster roll lunch! Good times, but not cheap. read more

Lobstatruck - Freshly made lemonade, cup of lobster bisque, and lobster roll with butter -- a twenty dollar lunch - Food Trucks Near Me - Fullerton, California

Had a terrible experience yesterday in orange county first time trying the lobster truck the lobster rolls were terrible all they gave you was claw meat no tail meat whatsoever if you want to spend your hard earned money go somewhere else lobster bisque had no lobstering it whatsoever Very disappointed give them one star because at least The clam cho was decent read more

Rolls and pretty small, but nevertheless tasty. Is it worth the $14.00? Maybe its literally 3 bites and you're done, but tasty. Customer service was TERRIBLE the guy had a horrible sarcastic attitude, no customer service at all! I watched him interact with the next person in line and he had the same crappy attitude. If you don't like your job probably it's best you find another one. Not sure I will be coming back. read more

I like the lobster roll from the Lobstatruck because the lobster is served coated with butter or mayo . . . that's it. No filler material like stuffing or celery that others add. The brioche bread was perfectly toasted and buttered. For $13, it's not cheap but it's better value and more authentic than those from nearby restaurants. They also have crab rolls, lobster bisque and clam chowder. They're all good but I would stay with the lobster roll. read more

Good lobster. It was really delicious but $8 for a lobster roll that is about the size of my palm is definitely not worth it. You'd have to eat like 4 of them to get anywhere near full. Slapfish FTW. If they lowered the price to like $4-$5, then I'd be all for it. read more

Food truck caravan and had to try the Lobsta. Awesome and the reviews are spot on. Lobster roll buttery and delicious. Choose between mayo or butter. Did try the lobster ice cream and I wouldn't recommend. Favors didn't blend well. read more

Lobster roll was amazing. I got a half and half (half butter/half mayo), but I preferred the butter side. Roll was soft and buttery grilled and lobster was succulent, buttery, salty and sweet. A little pricey but worth if every once on a while. read more

I'm so happy to find their truck in Brea today as all the other locations r far from my home. I ordered both lobster roll n crab roll n all with butter. I tried the lobster roll once I get it as I can't wait n it was so amazing! It taste very good with a lot of lobster meat n the right amount of butter! In fact, I don't think it's too small, I think for ladies, it's the perfect portion. If it's too big, then the calories must be very high! Lol! I haven't tried the crab roll yet, but I'm sure that it will be the same good as the lobster roll! It's for sure that I'll go back the next time whenever it's in Brea! You won't regret for paying $13 for it! Go try it! read more

It was okay. I excepted a bit more from the lobster roll since it was the "Lobstatruck." This was my first experience with this food truck. I got the lobster roll with butter and not mayo for $12. My sister and I shared it. It was good but not that good. I felt as though it was put together without any love. Like slice bread, scope lobster, butter and serve. The overall appearance was a mess so that was a turn off. The upside was the portion was generous though my roll itself was not toasted . Sometimes it is best to let the protein speak for itself but sometimes it does need a bit of help other than mayo/butter. Will I try this again, sure why not. I believe in second chances. Hopefully it will be tastier and maybe I'll remember to buy a bag chips as well. See you next time. read more

We ordered lobsta roll, lobster bisque, clam chowder, and a whoopi pie. I didn't have the lobster roll so I couldn't compare it to the other lobster food truck. But my sister had it and she said it was great. The clam chowder was great, better than the bisque, but really both were good. I am not a fan of the whoopi pie :-/ read more

Seen they would be over at the best buy shopping center on the corner of harbor bled and imperial giving out free meals courtesy of Wescom bank. The lobster roll was very delicious and loaded with big chunks of high quality lobster. In all it old have came out to around 28$ for the rolls and two drinks but thanks to Wescom it was on the house. Can't wait to have it again read more

Lobstatruck - The lobster rolls we're perfect in every way 10/10 - Food Trucks Near Me - Fullerton, California

Pricey, yes. But If you find a 'cheap' lobster roll I wouldn't recommend eating it as I would never trust a cheap version of fresh shellfish. Both mayo and butter versions are amazing, but butter is my favorite. It's one of those things that those from the New England states will vary on opinion of which one is more authentic depending on where they're from. Honestly, I've never had anything else on their menu but I can imagine they are all good. If you've never had an authentic lobster roll, trust me these are as authentic as they get, I'd recommend trying one of each and seeing which you prefer. Do yourself a favor and check their website to see when they'll be nearest to you next! read more

I had a crab sandwich. They toasted the bun with butter and put loads of fresh crab meat on it. Wow, this was tasty. I wish they were in Irvine or South Orange County more. read more

Lobster roll was good, but service wasn't as great ..! Blonde girl was rude and not that helpful.. It was first time there therefore I had more questions than normal ... She made my experience not memorable and not sure I'll go back .. If you go don't ask too many questions and add butter to your roll.. read more

Lobstatruck - Lobster Clam Chowder - Food Trucks Near Me - Fullerton, California

Ok, people complaining about the price, the size, and the clarified butter (??) have never been to New England, and have never had a proper lobster roll, because this truck is legit. The hot dog bun is crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, the clarified butter is not too salty, and brings out the sweetness of the lobster, and finally, the chunks of lobster are fresh and plentiful. We figured the amount of lobster is equivalent to at least four claws, and at $13 a roll, that is a great deal. read more

I absolutely love lobster rolls, and this truck makes them realllllly good. I always alternate between the lobster roll with butter and the lobster roll with mayo. The butter allows for the true essence of lobster to come out, while the mayo makes for a more traditional lobster roll taste. It's a little pricey at $12-13 a roll, but they are pretty generous with the lobster so I feel that it is worth it. They also make a pretty mean clam chowder so when you get a chance you should get a cup. Their lobster bisque is not that great so I'd skip that. They take credit card unlike a lot of food trucks so no worries if you don't have cash on you :) read more

I've been looking for a place with lobster rolls! We tracked down this truck and it was delicious! No seating and no lighting but great food! read more

I've been waiting a long time for this truck to come to la habra. First time trying a lobster roll . I finally say that it came to this location and decided to try it the taste was good but It was not worth the price or the wait. It was a three bite lobster roll for $13. It is not good when there's a couple more food trucks there with long lines and this one has 0 customers read more

BEST lobster rolls ever. I like my lobster roll doubled dipped in the butter, YUMMY. The lobster is NOT overcooked or chewy. If you love lobster you have got to try it. A little on the pricey side at 8 bucks but well worth it. I also order the lobster bisque soap, it has chunks of lobster in it. read more

Was really hoping to enjoy the lobster, but was sorely disappointed. $13 for a lobster roll, which I finished in 3 bites (it's the size of a small hot dog bun). Wouldn't have minded the price if it tasted fresh, but the roll came out soggy from over-buttering and fishy (lobster tasted like it had freezer burn). I've had much better elsewhere, even including food fairs like the Food & Wine Epcot! You guys can do better. read more

For food truck standars they really step it up...lobster is overnighted from Maine. No west coast, tiny-ass fake lobster here!

I was in the mood, and wanted to try out based on the yelp reviews. Unfortunately it seems like maybe I caught them on an off day or something. I got a buttered lobsta roll, and although the bread was nice and buttery, about half of the lobsta meat was dry, tough, and chewy. This was at their Long Beach location, and I was like the 10th one in line right after it opened, so it should have been freshly made, right? If I run into a truck again, I'll probably give them another chance, but was kinda disappointed with my first try. read more

The lobster rolls with butter are my favorites. They are always delicious and fresh. The lobster bisque is great as well. The only thing that keeps me from giving them 5 stars is the inconsistency with the amount of lobster meat that you get. Sometimes I get less meat, sometimes I get more. It makes me feel like I'm getting ripped off when I think of the roll i had the time before. Bottom line is, the truck is nice and clean, they are very nice and pacient when you order, and they call out your order quickly. read more

I make it a point to get a Lobster Roll every time they make their way to North Orange County. Usually the first Friday of the month they park at a Chase Suite Hotel that is close to my work. I prefer the Lobster roll with butter although the mayonnaise one isn't bad either. The warm buttery salty bun is a perfect compliment to a mound of delicious lobster. I always pay the extra $5 for extra meat. That makes the sandwich $18 total. I wouldn't do it everyday but once a month it is totally worth it. This last trip I also tried the clam chowder, I may be spoiled a bit with family in New England and the Pacific Northwest but overall it was pretty good. read more

Yummy lobster goodness in a freshly toasted bun. I just wish it wasn't $12 =[

Super stoked to find this truck with a bunch of other food trucks. I kinda found the reviews to be misleading as people said it was small but the lobster pieces to be big, but the roll was literally the size of my hand. And mind you, I have pretty small hands. Great for a quick lobster roll fix but probably won't be visiting again especially for the price. read more

Best lobster roll I have ever tried. On the pricey side of course but I won't say no to the lobster roll with butter! Sooo good. Wish the came to the Woodland Hills location on weekends though instead of just Tuesdays. read more

Saw the truck and we had to try it. Delicious! The lobsta roll was simply awesome! Got it with butter and delighted to see that it was packed with meat and no filler bs. Also, got to try the clam chowder (Thanks, Chef!) and would definitely order in the future. Loved the clam chowder and lobsta roll. We def look forward to trying the lobster bisque and other menu items. Was the best food truck out of the three at the Best Buy spot across from the Village shopping center on Tustin. Keep the lobsta rolls coming! read more

I just found out that the Lobstatruck comes to our neighborhood every couple weeks, so upon discovering this, I raced down there eagerly anticipating one of their delicious lobsta rolls! I'd had them a couple times previously and really enjoyed them. However, this last time I was really disappointed. Most of the meat was from the claws rather than the tail and it just didn't taste fresh. The buns they serve them on are the New England style hot dog buns, which I love, but the meat was a big disappointment! Being from Boston, I know my lobsta and I can tell you that compared to the lobster rolls you get anywhere on the eastern seaboard, which are about twice the size and loaded with tail meat, these are pretty sad! Not to mention, they are way overpriced for what you get! Guess I'll have to try Cousins Maine Lobster truck and see how it compares! read more

GREAT lobster rolls but SLOW SLOW SLOW. Had both the butter lobster roll and the one with mayo, they were really good, some may consider a bit pricey, but lobster rolls are not cheap. But it took almost 5 minutes for the lady to take each order...and there's only 9 things on their menu! And two of those things are "bottle of water" and "can of soda/juice/other." Also, they charge $2 for those small bags of Cape Cod potato chips...uh, no. read more

I feel the price is a bit high for the portion you get. What I had tasted good but lacked luster. I had the lobster roll with butter. I wish they didn't use clairified butter. I enjoy the foamy fatty stuff on my lobster it adds more flavor. Customer service was ok but not the best. read more

Very disappointed! Went to the Lobsta Truck on Imperial in Fullerton tonight. Got there at 7:10pm and they were sold out of lobster! WHAT??? You're the Lobsta Truck!!! I've been to the Cousins Lobster truck in same location many times. They have never run out of lobster! Won't be back read more

LOVE THE LOBSTA TRUCK! My husband and I always follow it to see if their near our area and if they are we always go to get some food. We love the lobster bisque and the lobster sandwiches. Their always fresh and have tons of lobster meat in them. So fresh and yummy! They are on the pricey side but worth for what your getting. Definitely recommend! read more

I came to the food truck squad in Fullerton and I saw the lobsta truck parked there which was my target for a long time cuz I was craving for the crab roll. But I waited for more than 20 mins and when it finally opened, they told me they had no crab. It was such a disappointment. read more
