    This is the best lobster roll I have ever had. Better than any fancy restaurant or famous places. I don't even know what to say, everything about it is delicious. The woman was so friendly and food is phenomenal. I would 100% support this food truck over any fine dining. We would definitely drive 3+ hour again to eat this again. Can't wait to be back

    SO GOOD!! The best lobster rolls we have ever had on the west coast! Tried one of each and loved both!! The fries are crazy good also! Tables outside to enjoy.

    Cooling off on a hot day. Delicious!

    The lobster rolls were delicious, with tender juicy lobster. The roll was buttered and toasted perfectly. We tried both the Connecticut and Maine rolls. I preferred the Maine with the warm butter! The French fries were crisp and yummy. Quick service, each order is made to order. All is to go. We sat on the picnic tables outside and enjoyed the cool breeze and people watched so the ambiance was lovely. Only complaint was the "coleslaw" was undressed, plain cabbage and apple slices. Next time I will skip that. Will be back for another roll though!

    I'm a big fan! This super clean food truck is located right next to a little gathering area where locals play chess. Service: 5/5 Friendly, quick, and efficient. The food truck was also extremely clean and tidy, which says a lot about the food's quality. Food: 5/5 I must say it is pretty expensive since lobster rolls are around $25 at where I live. Connecticut roll was more than that without any sides. But there were 2 lobster claws meat in my roll so I can attest it's worth every penny. Paired with warm and buttered brioche? Add this onto your must-have meal in Morro bay.

    The guy who runs this shop is a cute old man who was super polite. The lobster roll was pretty big and had a lot of lobster meat. I ordered the Maine style lobster. I've actually had lobsters from Maine before so I can compare. Although this isn't as good as the lobsters in Maine, it was still pretty good! So much lobster meat. The bread was nice as toasty and buttered. Nice creamy sauce on the lobster. Service was also great and I got my order within 10 mins of ordering.

    Lobster roll. This was the warmed kind. Hands down Exquisite!

    Came here on my birthday trip and this was one of the best spots we stopped at. The customer service is friendly and quick. The lobster rolls were exceptional. The location is on the main street downtown with so many shops and activities. They have public outdoor seating area, but you can easily walk down to the beach And enjoy a bite as well. These were so delicious, we got seconds to go for our drive down to LA and would actually consider taking a trip just to have another lobster roll. Thank you, Patrick and Josh for everything.

    Oh my gosh! The lobster roll here is amazing. We were attended to promptly. Fortunately, there was a bench and table ready for us. It was a lovely day at the bay and it was a wonderful time to enjoy the lobster roll. You place your order at the window food truck and you find yourself a bench and table to enjoy your food.

    Lobster rolls from a mobile kitchen across from the harbor. The location is fab and next door to Sun-N-Buns Bakery which means you can follow your lobster roll with a cinnamon roll if you're feeling spiritually aligned. There are a few outdoor picnic-style tables, but you can also wander across the street and enjoy your feast with front-row views of Morro Rock. The menu keeps things simple: Connecticut and Maine lobster rolls, a shrimp roll, fries, slaw, and drinks. Prices are high, but you're in Cali and basically eating lobster on the bay which counts as a luxury experience in a region where lobster rolls are rare. Our Connecticut-style lobster rolls were generously packed with northeastern lobster drenched in warm butter, a little seasoning, lemon, and chives, all tucked into a buttered, grilled brioche roll. Every bite was buttery bliss. Just eat quickly because the seagulls have zero respect for personal boundaries.

    This lobster roll is to die for! We decided to split the Connecticut style roll and agreed that would could have eaten an entire roll ourselves. It's was mouth watering and delicious. Very rich, but left us wanting more. We visited on a Saturday, so parking was tough and my friend waited in the car while I ordered. There was a short line, but service was fast and came with a smile. There are picnic tables adjacent to the food truck and additional drinks/items available at the coffee shop on the same property. It's a great spot right on the Embarcadero, so great people watching and sightseeing. The total for our roll with no sides was $27 (before tip). It's a serious price, but worth the money. Highly recommend!

    Morro Bay Lobster's food truck is located on the side of the Sun N Buns Bakery on the Embarcadero. They are usually open Friday through Monday. Their menu is simple, offering Connecticut and Maine style lobster rolls as well as a California Shrimp roll. Minis (half the size) are also available. Seasoned Flat Fries and House Made Slaw are offered as sides. Portions are generous. The Connecticut style lobster rolls we ordered today were quite flavorful with large pieces of lump meat. A definite must try!

    My favorite place to eat in Morro Bay. Amazing service and delicious high quality food. I will come eat here every time I visit this town. 10/10

    I ordered the lobster mini roll (Maine style) with a side of slaw. It was hands down the BEST lobster roll I've ever had. The bun was buttery and toasted just right and the lobster was seasoned perfectly and DELICIOUS! The slaw tasted great too! The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. If I could give Morro Bay Lobster more than five stars I would. I definitely recommend and will definitely be back every time I visit Morro Bay!

    Maine style Lobster roll
    Linda T.

    Patrick was the sweetest man helping me decide if I wanted the Connecticut style or the Maine style. The quality and freshness is definitely there and it's seasoned perfectly. The soft buttered bread complimented the already amazing lobster in the roll. I took a peek into their truck watching these 2 men cook and their truck was very clean inside. They worked fast and had my lobster roll ready in minutes. They're only open certain days of the week, so check their hours.

When we entered the dog-friendly patio with our little Goldendoodle, Bailey, a large dog seated at the table closest to the only patio entrance lunged toward her and bared its teeth. Since it was the only way in and out, I let the staff know I was concerned. They immediately spoke with the owners, who moved their dogs farther under the table, and after our meal, the owner's father went above and beyond by opening the rope barriers so we could exit another way and avoid walking past them again. Both the father and son were incredibly kind, understanding, and accommodating, which we really appreciated. Once we were settled, we were able to enjoy the beautiful patio. It's a quaint waterfront spot with gorgeous views, a relaxing atmosphere, and the perfect setting to enjoy fresh seafood. Bailey was promptly brought a complimentary bowl of water, and we loved seeing so many other well-behaved dogs enjoying the patio. It's easy to see why this restaurant has such a great reputation for being dog friendly. We ordered the King Salmon Quesadilla special, and it was absolutely delicious. It was packed with generous portions of fresh salmon, plenty of melted cheese, and vegetables, and it was more than enough for my mom and me to share. My brother also really enjoyed the tri-tip sandwich. Everything tasted fresh and was served hot. While we wish the aggressive dogs had been seated somewhere other than the only entrance to the patio, that wasn't the restaurant's fault, and they handled the situation as well as they could. Between the excellent food, beautiful waterfront setting, dog-friendly atmosphere, and genuinely caring owners, we had a great overall experience and would happily return.

My partner got the bread bowl clam chowder and others in my party got the halibut fish tacos. The chicken strips were just basic regular chicken strips, but not bad. Those that had the clam chowder said it was "A+" and some said they really liked the large clam chunks in the chowder. The fish tacos had large pieces of fish and everyone was very happy with their tacos, some saying it was "to die for." We will definitely be back! The patio seating was lovely and they had live music that was such a nice touch. One of the employees was actively going around and cleaning tables and offering bowls of water to the dogs! She was super nice. Many of the patio tables also have small leashes so you could put your dog on that and not have the dog get all wrapped up in their regular leash. Very dog friendly! Highly, highly recommend. Edit to add a few details that are important to me but probably nobody else: 1. It is in easy reach of 2 pokestops and a power spot. 2. It has self-serve pump ketchup so you can get plenty

The oysters here are cold and fresh with a bit of brine in the beginning and that mellows out to a sweetness. I regret not bringing any home.

This year there was a bit of a snag in that they have few larger tables that can accommodate us, and that was being used when we arrived.

To make matters worse, several other staff members kept walking over to his table to grab fries out of his plate while his food was sitting there. The situation went from gross to completely absurd when I asked for extra lime for my tacos. Our server thought it was funny to hide a whole lime under his shirt and roll it onto our table while laughing hysterically. He then pointed to a plate of food he was about to serve to another table, told me to pick the sliced limes off of that customer's plate, and walked it over to them. I felt terrible for the unsuspecting diner who received that food, and it made us completely lose trust in how our own meal was handled.
