Roll for $17 or combo (roll, soup, biscuits) for $20 Totally worth it, get the combo
Ali B.

My favorite lobster roll in Louisville, we barely have any. This older gentleman named Philip drive this food truck primarily around three spots, by norton hospital on chestnut, by UofL on Preston or on Bardstown rd. His location can be found on his Facebook page, be careful he has an older inactive page. The service is very friendly, when i told him I've been craving the lobster roll not knowing where his food was, he offered me a free drink and said hope you like it and see you next time. For the food, i suggest you get the combo which is $3 more than the roll. The combo includes includes a lobster roll chilled (traditional) or warm with butter, (Connecticut) and a choice of clam chowder or lobster bisque soup and two made in heaven biscuits and that's coming from a non biscuit foodie. As always bon appetit , and I can't believe that Yelp took badge away boo.

fresh lobster, soft bun, crispy biscuits and creamy soup, it really doesn't get better than this. The owner is friendly and nice. 10/10 would recommend

Lobster Roll
Emily L.

I love this food truck! This was the first one I tried once I moved to Louisville, and it was a great kickstart! I was lucky that this food truck stopped in my neighborhood because I do think it's difficult to find their truck schedule. The lobster roll, lobster bisque, and cheddar bay biscuits were so delicious. Every was so warm and fresh. I hope I'll be able to hunt this one down again!

What a super nice guy and what a great idea Longshot Lobsta is. For $4, the lobster bisque with 2 lobster cheddar biscuits is really tough to beat. The biscuits are good enough to get full off of. If he sold a dozen of them, I'd be tempted to buy them if I weren't watching my carb intake. The bisque was very tasty. Very strong lobster flavor, which makes sense and is what you want. It was thick enough for a solid snack/light lunch. Unless you really wanted to try it, I wouldn't chase this food truck down. But if it happens to be in your area, hit it up. You won't be disappointed.

Food truck!

Great front man! Super friendly and nice. I was the first customer of the day so I got a complimentary biscuit. So sweet! Food truck outside of Humana building downtown Louisville: I'm a lobster roll conesueir. We try them all over the country, specifically, East coast fans. So, I'm tough. This lobster roll was great. I ordered traditional, a little Mayo, a little celery and seasonings. It had a great fresh flavor and the bun was just right with a wedge of lemon. I would have liked the lobster to be a little less minced, with bigger chunks, but it was plentiful. At a $15.00 per roll it's a bit over the $13- $14 I'm used to paying for some of the best, but, I paid without blinking and eye...so...there you go! My advice...GO EAT a lobsta roll!!! I loved supporting a truly nice guy, doing a great job!

Combo with CT style.

Fresh lobster. Really that's all you need. Perfectly cooked. Tender and delicious. Nothing complicated here. Lobster roll, regular or CT style (which I had) lobster bisque or clam chowdah. Cheddar bay biscuits. $18 for a combo. You won't be sorry. Such a wonderful treat.

pick two: Maine lobsta roll, lobsta bisque, cheddar bay biscuit. $12.

oh my. oh me, oh my! Lobster Roll craving was 100% satisfied Saturday while i was at The Flea Off Market. I knew we were going to the market, but once i read that Longshot Lobsta was in attendance, i no longer cared that a market even existed. The only reason i was going now was to get some lobsta!! Since they are fairly new (nov 2013 i believe??) i was expecting some kinks that needed to be worked out like most new businesses. However, this was not the case. At all. The menu: simple. The flavor: outstanding. The price: very reasonable! No funny business, just really good, high quality stuff folks. Where else can one get a lobster roll, bisque and a biscuit for only $12?! Speaking of money, Lobgshot Lobsta has saved me a ton! I no longer need to purchase a plane ticket to Maine for a lobster roll ;) This was a meal i'll never forget. It was that good! Besides, food knows its way to my soul ... and i believe i've found my soul mate. :)

Yummm!!!! Clam chowder and a traditional Lobsta roll :)
Michelle C.

Unfortunately I don't work downtown where a lot of the food trucks tend to congregate, but I do work right across from Park Community which has Food Truck Wednesdays (thank goodness!!). Longshot Lobsta is super delicious! I always get the Main Lobster Roll and it's perfectly proportioned - right amount of lobster to everything else on your yummy, toasty bun. While it is $10 which is a little pricey, you can add soup and a Chedder Bay Biscuit for only two more dollars!!! Why would you not do this?! I got their clam chowder which was a teeny bit lacking in the clam department, but still super delicious. And let me tell you about this biscuit, super delicious amount of flavor, flaky and hot and buttery, wow now I'm drooling on my keyboard. I can't wait until they come back and I can get some more!! If you see them around get a roll!!

Updated menu, prices are much higher

Hot Buns Food Truck

Hot Buns Food Truck

4.8(38 reviews)
0.7 km•Civic Center, Downtown

Why did we wait so long to try Hot Buns? They parked at the fall festival for Fleur de Flea, and…read morebetween the food, weather and grabbing a patio table I was the happiest gal. The Hot Buns team chalked social distancing slots for customers in line. Service was quick and friendly, payment by cards available. I got the combo with 2 bao buns, Peking Chicken, and 5 pork dumplings. The dumplings are good but would've lacked in flavor without the sauce drizzled on top. The Peking chicken came with cucumber, pickled onions and cilantro. They describe the buns as pillowy and they aren't lying. Looooved the bao buns, very flavorful. The rice bowl is a good option too. Large portion and you can pick one of their proteins to add to it. As I'm typing this I wish I'd bought one to bring home and heat up for dinner. Another time! This food truck is a treat and I am looking forward to bumping into them again.

I went to the Annual International Food Truck Festival and I was really excited to try this place!!…read moreI was a little disappointed because they were sold out of almost everything on their menu by the time we got there, but that's always a good sign. I ordered the beef curry bao and vegetable dumplings. The vegetable dumplings were really good! I could eat 1000 of them!! 10/10! However, I took one bite of the beef curry bao and it was ice cold. I'm not sure if that's how it was supposed to be served, but It personally was not my favorite. I've tried Bao buns from one other place and they were hot, so I think I was just expecting something a little different. The flavor was definitely there, it was just not for me. Service was quick and the employees were very nice! I would definitely recommend this food truck if you are looking for Bao or dumplings!!
