    This food truck show up at the Asian festival on the past week end. I always look be to have New England type lobster roll. This will serve the purpose of my craving. The roll cost $14. They did advertising 4oz roll which I did not paid attention. What the roll actually comes with is 4 oz of lobster meat and the remaining fillings is imitation crab meat. Which most expensive that I have don't have full roll with lobster meat. I would have reading the fine print which most of us not catching it. I would rather they charge us higher price with full lobster meat. The roll did pack with a lot of imitation crab meat. Overall look good. It does have good ratings in Yelp. They do carry some lobster bisque and blue crab meat roll. Food truck is decent but I would just give options for full lobster meat.

    Went to food truck night in metro west. Monsta lobsta was there. My boyfriend and I decided to get a soup to try. We ordered the spicy lobster bisque. It wasn't anything special. It was a tiny bit spicy. There was not really much of any lobster in it. It tasted like store bought lobster bisque. Wouldn't try again.

    This truck is full of delicious things!

    Mouthwatering chunks of lobster meat kissed lightly with a bit of mayo and lemon seasoning then served on a warmed and buttered roll. Wow. It's like I'm in the Maine...but surprisingly it's right here in Central Florida. Every time I see this food truck I have to stop and get a lobster roll. Tonight I made a u-turn when I drove by their food truck in Maitland. What a happy surprise to find them hanging out by Lake Lilly. Besides the lobster roll Monsta Lobsta also sells crab rolls and lobster bisque. There is a roll on the menu called "indecision" which is half crab and half lobster, haven't tried it yet but sounds wonderful. If you like lobster this is what you want, a roll busting at the seams with big, fresh pieces of lobster. It's so decadent!

    Well, it looked delicious and had large chunks of lobster on top but underneath was some sort of strange salad that had chunks of some other off tasting seafood - like maybe calamari or even the fake stuff. I am from the east coast and am used to having real lobster throughout. I had to brush my teeth afterwards from the imitation seafood taste. I would have rather had a smaller portion of real lobster then have it mixed with a product that I don't eat.

    Someone's photo mentioning imitation crab, the next picture I circled fine shreds , lobster meat does not shred like that.

    There is a reason they probably spelled the Lobsta with an A at the end on instead of ER because underneath the claw meat there are peices of meat that are perfectly circular, there is not a single part of the lobster that would produce a perfectly circular piece of meat. Now I speak about this because of my close connection to New England especially lobsters. Having been born and raised in Rhode Island and while in culinary school I worked in restaurant in East Greenwich Rhode Island called The Harborside Lobstermania we're on Friday and Saturday nights they had a special of twin boiled broiled or baked lobster is and we would do over 600 lobsters at night. So I have seen more than my fair share of lobsters as a matter of fact on my Instagram I have a video of how people can tell the difference between a male and a female. https://www.instagram.com/p/BiyKxDeDQ4e/?igshid=gakku8um4fwq Here is how to prepare lobster: https://www.instagram.com/p/BiyICsvDgDX/?igshid=1eek6yyucmqu2 Oh that perfectly round piece of meat is but looks like surimi white fish extruded under high pressure with potato starch or some other kind of filler binder hydrocolloid .The other part about using surimi is that the red coloring that's on the top of it is called carmine, this color pigmentation is produced from some scale insects such as the cochineal. So to charge $24 for a roll that has imitation crab on it is a little bit of a Monsta rip off!

    The best lobster roll for me by far!!! The only problem is i cant seem to get a hold of their food truck. Its hard to keep track of their locations. I wish they would open a small spot here in central orlando.

    If you're a lover of lobster or crab then this is where you need to eat. Actually, that's the beginning and the end of their menu! That's all they need to serve because they have the best lobster roll on wheels in central Florida. Their roll has no fillers and no dressing at all. Just fresh lobster meat. For me though I enjoy a bit of mayo or something wet as I need something to hold it all together. No fear!! In comes their killer lobster bisque. Ask for your roll "smothered" and you'll have the best of both worlds. It's rich, delish and oh my goodness filling. You get a bang for your buck and if you can't get enough, they have not 1 but 2 trucks! It's not unusual to see them in a city one day and another city the next. Or both trucks at 2 different rally's in the same city. They're like Mighty Mouse...they're everywhere, they're everywhere!

    Why have I waited so long to try you, Monsta Lobsta?! Oh MY!!!! I got the 4oz roll and a cup of their Lobster Bisque...both were amazing. ($15 total) Lobster Roll: Buttered and toasted New England split top, packed with chilled lobster salad. 99.8% Lobster meat, hint of lemon, mayo and scallions. I do not like mayo or scallions, so I was very happy that there were only a few scallion slices for me to pick out. Mayo was not discernible in look or taste, so perfect for me. Lobster was moist, sweet and fresh tasting....and there was a TON of it on my "4oz" roll. Better than some of the rolls I've enjoyed on the Cape or NE, for sure. Bisque: Wow. Really very good. Lobstery and heavy on the heavy cream, so ultra rich. The portion size is perfect for the richness of the bisque. Hint of sherry, flecks of lobster meat throughout. A+ The guys were super friendly and fun to chat with while waiting at the window. I'm sad that I'm finished with lunch and cannot wait to visit Monsta Lobsta again!

    My first stop at Tampa's "World Largest Food Truck Rally" (debatable title) was Monsta Lobsta. Last year, my boyfriend had a lobster roll from them, and I really wanted one this year. As luck would have it, it was one of the first food trucks as we entered the event. I was a bit deterred by the long line, but that also meant they must be pretty good. The dude in front of us in line said there was also a truck called Maine Thang, but the line was even longer. Plus, I knew what this food truck was all about. The menu consists of a regular lobster roll, a roll smothered in lobster bisque, regular lobster bisque, crab, a spicy lobster roll, and a roll called "indecision" since it can be hard to choose between lobster and crab. It is a very real problem. Back to the line wait, while waiting in line my boyfriend was able to get us waters, go get a taco, and look around a little bit. After placing my order it did not take long to get my food. I ordered the regular 4 oz. lobster roll, and my boyfriend tried the lobster roll smothered in lobster bisque. I enjoyed the roll, as there was no shortage of succulent lobster. The thing I like about the roll was that it was soft, but also had a slight char on the bottom with a slight taste of butter. Emilio M. enjoyed his roll with bisque, and the little bit that I tried was good. I would recommend starting off with the regular roll, because the smothered bisque roll can be a bit rich, and you do not taste the lobster as much. Twas a good time all around.

    I'm back for more! Bruno's still has the best selection of oysters around. I regularly go to…read moreseafood distributors and buy raw oysters to shuck at homes, and I'll do the Whole Foods Friday oyster deals too, and I consistently find that Bruno's has a selection that nobody else does. I'm not sure who their distributor is, but they're doing an excellent job! The fresh horseradish, mignonette, and crackers are always a great pairing, and those crackers are still so incredibly buttery. Sad to say that I'm bumping this place down to 2 stars only because we visited on a Thursday after seeing on their instagram that they did happy hour $30/dozen on Wednesday and Thursday (posted on February 2nd, and in their instagram bio) only to be charged full price. I asked and he said it was on Wednesday only, which is fine, but they should definitely update their social media.

    If you're looking for a spot that absolutely delivers on vibe, flavor, and experience this is it…read more The oyster selection is top-notch and pairs perfectly with an incredible lineup of beers that clearly aren't an afterthought. The staff? Super knowledgeable and genuinely passionate--they'll guide you through both oysters and brews like pros. The atmosphere hits that sweet spot too: chill outdoor seating if you want to soak in the energy, or cozy indoor space if you're in the mood for something more laid-back. The surrounding area just adds to it, great town, great people, and an all-around awesome scene. And here's the kicker: if your friend isn't into oysters, no problem--there's a full food court right next door with plenty of options. Not a beer drinker? Well... you may need to reconsider that friendship Bottom line--this place is a must. Make it happen, go check it out. You won't be disappointed.

I enjoyed the NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDAH AND CLAM CAKES - Cup of Chef Mike's secret clam chowdah recipe! Served with (2) famous Rhode Island clam cakes. Not the best chowder I have had but that comes down to personal taste. The main course of the LOBSTER MAC & CHEESE Cavatappi pasta tossed in a five-cheese blend of Asiago, Cheddar, Smoked Gouda, Fontina and Parmesan with Sweet Potato Casserole and Vegetable Of The Day on the side was great but, wow, it took a long time for it to cool off enough to eat it! The KEY LIME PIE - The Florida classic! Topped with strawberry sauce and homemade whipped cream was a nice finish to the Bite30 meal even though I would normally pass on dessert entirely. It was all good but next time I would see if the lobster roll is the real reason to be coming back! Service was amazing. Yes, well beyond my wrongful small shack assumption before going inside!

Said he's been there for 30 years! That speaks volumes for the management. The place is bigger than it seems with nice outdoor seating on cooler days. They have a full bar and lots of fresh lobster and seafood choices on the menu. I'm glad we finally came.
