The lobster roll was perfection! The lobster was so fresh and delicious. The slaw was good, and the French fries were seasoned well. There is a nice little vibe there too. There are four picnic tables to sit and eat.
First time having a lobster roll and it was delicious! I order the 1/4lb and there was huge chunks of lobster! The bread was buttery, tasty, and the perfect crunch. Super nice people working there! Highly recommend
Their lobster roll was so good and fresh. We got the 1/4 lbs lobster roll and it was perfect. There are little picnic tables for us to sit in. Order came with cole slaw and fries, reasonable price for how expensive seafood is!
So, I've been to Maine many times, and we flew in hours before this place opened. Judging by the pictures and reviews, we decided to try it out. It was perfect. Sometimes, you get a bun that's too thin or too thick, lobster that's undercooked or overcooked, too heavily seasoned or one that'll soak the bread. Again, perfect. Quick, easy, fairly priced... I just ate and I'm planning on going back. This is a fantastic lobster roll. I also heard their crab roll is great, and even their burgers from people waiting. I don't think I'll try the others this trip, but the lobster, again, was perfect.
Edit: came back a few hours later and had to grab one more. Only took about 5 minutes and there were people waiting for their food as well. It's not just claw meat in there either, almost half was tail. 10/10, great lobster, nice people and will be back for sure.
Was lucky enough to try their lobster roll, scallops and fried clams. Wow. This place is outstanding. A bit pricey but once you taste it you understand why. So amazing.
I Love this place, my fav would be the clam strips and scallops, I like the lobster roll. I may have ordered next without mayo, feel like it took away the lobster flavor. fries and coleslaw delish ! Really fast even though it was closing and many orders still in the works. Beatifully clean truck !!!!!!!!!!
This was right at 11 when the opened. I was there first but in the 5 mins I waited two more cars pulled up. To say this little food truck is popular is a understated. The menu is very diverse from the wonderful maine lobster rolls to fried clams, scallops and even burgers. The fries are cut fresh and are fried to perfection. This food truck is awesome and well worth dropping by for a great lunch.
Plenty parking here the place is a food shack in the parking lot of a movie theater. it is a pretty laid back eating experience.
The shack is right next door from the Fairfield hotel so it is within walking distance, but keep in mind that they close at 6pm and also if they run out of lobster u will be out of luck for the day, they do have lines sporadically so chances are high that they will run out of lobster.
They have picnic tables outside so we can eat right there, the staff is super nice and they also take credit cards which is super convenient
The menu is posted right next to the ordering window, and seems like most if not all meals cone with fries, a pickle and coleslaw.
They oddly only give a couple of napkins and that was annoying to me, once you order at the window they call u by the name when it is ready and the meal comes in a to go style in a bag with plastic utensils and ketchup, but the one or two napkins was not something I loved.
MOXIE- this is a soda made only here, I got it to try and I did not like it at all, if you are a fan of root beer then this is a soda for you, but for me it was not a match
QUARTER POUDER LOBSTER ROLL- only one roll with a very straightforward name, the side of fries needed a bit more salt and the lobster was a bit too blend too for my taste, but that is just me. I loved the size of the pieces of lobster though. the roll was nice and buttery too.
CRAB ROLL- came back for dinner and they were out of lobster so I got the crab roll, well it does not compare to the lobster, the crab was a little dry and very blend, needed a lot of salt for sure. I would not recommend eating the crab here.
In summary, this is a nice place to visit and try if you are around as the prices are a little more affordable than a restaurant in the area and you will still get that Maine lobster. I did learn here that the lobster in Maine is not cheaper compared to other states but easier to find for sure.
The only negatives in my opinion were the napkins availability and the salt should be also available, but beyond that this was a good place.
