Ordered: Lessy's Lobster Roll (MP ~$38): fresh shucked lobster butter poached on grilled brioche roll w Old Bay French Fries and Artisan Greens Arnold Palmer (~$5): half iced tea & half lemonade Aya's take: First time in Montauk and it's only right to get fresh seafood. We stopped at Wave Crave which is an unassuming truck serving an award-winning lobster roll so we had to try it. Lessy's Lobster Roll was some of the most tender, succulent, and richly buttery lobster I've had. The grilled brioche roll was perfect for this since it was pillowy, toasted, and soaked up a lot of the butter. The Old Bay French Fries were great and the Artisan Greens was a nice add-on to complete the meal. We also got the Arnold Palmer which is refreshing! Steve is super friendly and takes his lobster rolls seriously! I highly recommend stopping by to grab a bit & soak up the waterfront views. read more

I was staying at the Wavecrest hotel looking for a place to have lunch and I saw the great reviews that Wave Crave had. I had seen the food truck before but I'm not a food truck type of girl. I decided to give it a cry anyway since it was right there. I am so glad I did. We had the lobster roll and it was amazing but pricey. The couple there were really nice. Will be coming here again. read more

Was looking forward to a seafood lunch but this place doesn't exist or not now anyway. Drove all this way for lunch and there was no shop. Please state temporarily closed or something to let us know in advance. Thank you. read more

Run to Wave Crave at WAVE CREST ON Old Montauk Highway (near Gurneys) for your BESTEST Montauk LOBSTER ROLL Forget the others who use frozen Lobster meat. This is made fresh everyday. The fresh Brioche Roll is painted with a delicious homemade Aioli sauce. The side of shoe string fries and salad compliment the sandwich to a tee. Steve is very proud of his Lobster Roll and he should be. It was nice meeting you and Colleen. The Colleen Philly Cheese steak is on my hit list for next time. Congrats on putting a great menu together for your food truck. Eat on the terrace overlooking the beautiful dunes of the Atlantic Ocean. You might catch-views of a Whale, dolphin, or even a shark. Its a great Montauk day-date place. Love Love Lov read more

Pretty good egg sandwich called the " Kevin" and a great location on the beach . Can't beat the view. There are benches located just to the left of the truck . Parking is in a private resort but the guard let us park to purchase breakfast . Wasn't much of a wait about 15 min to get everything completed. read more

Steve's food truck (Wave Crave) at the Wavecrest is consistently good. The food is good quality, made to order and fresh. Excellent smoothies and Lobster Rolls! Breakfast and coffee is surprisingly good too! A few tables on property to sit and eat as well. They're friendly too! They're only there during the summer season...so call WaveCrest in advance for exact opening and closing dates. read more

I dont usually write reviews but my experience today deserves one. One of the reasons I stay at Wavecrest is because of Wave Crave. My first visit was last year & I was blown a away by the food from this truck. Never mind the exclusive menu & the breakfast being OUTSTANDING, THE LOBSTER ROLL is the BEST in Montauk, trust me, we had them all, NOTHING compared!! And you can't beat the price!! I thought about it ALL year & referred many people to check them out.. I was planning to take a day trip on 11/9 for chowder fest and when I found out the food truck would be closed that day, I booked a room because he'd be open the next day, Columbus Day, his last day of the season, I literally got the last Lobster roll of the season & Steve went above & beyond to make it extra special for me. Fully loaded w lobster, some fries & a lil salad. Better then I even remembered. Thank you Steve. See you in May! read more

Sriracha Steve kills the game in this food truck. $8.50 for a breakfast sandwich might be pricey even for Montauk but it is by far the best breakfast sandwich in town. His breakfast wraps are superb and everything on them is so tasty. Just tried the lobster roll earlier this week and it is a must. So tender,juicy and on the perfect brioche bun. The old bay Aioli makes this lobster roll one of a kind on the island. Steve is such a character and he makes the food truck environment come to life. Keep it up Wave Crave! read more

Wave Crave - Lobster Roll - Food Trucks Near Me - Montauk, New York

Absolutely the best most delicious lobster rolls i have ever had. The lobster is so amazingly fresh and tastes the way a fresh lobster should taste. It's really nice because the owner serves a lobster roll with salad instead of the standard chips you usually get a lobster roll with. view of the ocean where you sit is gorgeous and the owner is a really friendly , cool guy read more

Can't beat the location and the view. Basic beach room but clean and comfortable. Having a food truck on site is a big perk. Wish the bathrooms were a little up graded. We will definitely be back! read more

Steve and Colleen offer delicious breakfast and lunch on the beach. Their coffee is great!

What a great find we discovered yesterday! Had heard through the Montauk grapevine that a new food experience was steps away on the ocean dune on Old Montauk Highway. Heading down the driveway of Wavecrest Motel we spotted the Wave Crave food truck in front of the beautiful ocean dunes and rolling waves. There were so many great food choices I knew from the start I would be a regular customer. After chatting with friendly owner/operators Colleen and Steve, we settled on a whole wheat grilled chicken Cali wrap with avocado and just the right amount of zesty pico de gallo, as well as the best philly cheese steak I've had since I left my hometown of Philly years ago. Also couldn't resist the lobster roll which is a must order! It was so fresh, moist and loaded with large chunks of lobster... The best I've had. We enjoyed this beautiful and delicious lunch sitting just steps away under an umbrella on the deck nestled in the dunes surrounded by beach plums and blossoms looking at the crashing waves of the Atlantic. This food find is a gem and an authentic Montauk experience. My husband couldn't wait to go back this morning to get a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast. As he said, "Where else can you eat such great food with the best view!" read more
