    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.

    Spicy lobster bisque

    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!

    Lobster roll deserves a selfie!

    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.

    I tried out Monsta Lobsta at the Food Truck Bazaar the Friday that just passed. It was good, and I could tell they tried to give a lot of lobster--lol, trying to stay true to the Monsta Lobsta name. $13 for one lobster roll seems kinda pricey for some people, but if you don't get lobster on the regular--and you're from a beach town like me and sometimes crave it--you'll do it. xD

    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!

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'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.

You can't make reservations and we were lucky that there was no wait time when we got there. Our server Noelle greeted us as soon as we were seated. She was an additional highlight to our visit for her warmth and friendly personality. We started with the clam cakes and stuffies and both were delicious. The super highlight of our visit was the 2 foot lobster roll. My partner added 1/2 lb of lobster to our order as he (and we) love lobster. What we got was a Wow experience from the time they brought it in - my mother was pure smiles and that was before we tasted it. We went with half New England and half Connecticut style. Absolutely the best lobster roll I've ever had and I've had many living in New England most of my life. This was an absolutely delightful experience. We couldn't finish the roll between the 3 of us and had great leftovers for dinner. The place is busy and you hear the sounds of people talking and enjoying their meals. We even got to meet Chef Mike and what a pleasant person he is. A total unforgettable dining experience that I'd like to repeat someday.

I have a saying: try everything twice, as you never know what may have gone wrong or right, the first time. Consistency is key. This review has been a long time coming, but I can say beyond any doubt Mad Crab Seafood is the place to get your seafood needs sent to heaven! Along with an amazing variety of choices (as long as you get there before they sell out; for good reason!) you can customize things the way you want. A total judgement free zone, they expect you to get messy and provide plenty of ways to clean up. Heat options are there, and the amount of flavor in every bite never fails to amaze. Constantly wanting to please, they adapt their menu and ALWAYS provide premium quality. Family. That's how you will be treated here. Even on my first time visiting, we felt like timeless friends from the start. There is nothing better than eating amazing food while having a smile from ear to ear for the entirety of your stay. I cannot think of any business more deserving of your attention. Once again, thank you Molene & Family for the amazing meals you have provided.
