    Connecticut Roll
    Tami W.

    5.31.26. Yup. I did it again. I drove 45 minutes to see you. Ok- I made my friend drive 45 minutes to Hamilton OH. Worth every minute, worth every penny. Totally worth the little extra $ to get the extra meat. Literally there's nothing close to the freshness of this roll. Spend the $$$ it's worth it for the quality! Super super fresh!!! Also - hit the tip button- these guys deserve it! Very friendly and speedy service! THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!

    Dad introduced son to Maine Lobster. Left disappointed.

    Stopped by the Cousins Maine Lobster truck while it was in Oxford, Ohio today. Honestly? Disappointed. The lobster roll was tiny--like, soda-can-for-scale tiny. Taste was authentic, but not $23 authentic. The full combo with tots and drink ran us $48.25 for two people. Tater tots were just okay. Specialty sodas were fun but didn't add much to the value. I've had better-sized rolls in Maine for $6. This felt more like a sample than a meal. Overall: 2 stars. Good flavor, but way overpriced for the portion. I'd pass unless they adjust pricing or portion sizes.

    I was surprised to see Cousins Maine Lobster truck at my city's summer festival. They were pretty popular with a long line that moved quickly. I ordered a Connecticut role deemed as the classic role with warm meat, butter, and lemon on a new England roll. The roll was small, with 2 hearty chunks of lobster. I also ordered the lobster tots. The tots came with chopped lobster, cilantro lime sauce, pico de gallo, and a lime wedge. I'm not a tots fan, but the sauce and pico really took the dish to another level. Although I prefer french fries over tots, I will order this dish again. I enjoyed my food from Cousins Maine Lobster. I'm not sure I will get the roll again, but I'll give them another chance in the future to try the grilled cheese. I spent a little over $30 for the roll and tots. Living in FL, I have my go to places for comparable lobster rolls and dishes at a cheaper price. I understand this lobster is from Maine so there's added cost associated with that. For me, this is an once in a while treat to cure my lobster craving.

    New Englander here, stuck in the seafood desert of Cincy... But this was a breath of fresh air. I downloaded the app so I could order ahead online. When I placed my order it gave me a time to arrive. The truck had gotten stuck in traffic so there was a slight delay, but it was very minimal. We tried the CT lobster roll which had a generous amount of large meat that was very tender. We also got the lobster bisque which had great flavor but was a tad bit salty. Finally we got the lobster grilled cheese. It paired nicely with the soup, and had an ok amount of, again, large lumps of lobster. I would definitely visit again to get my seafood fix!! Prices are reasonable for what you get and the market price of lobster!

    Came on a rainy Saturday evening. I saw the original premiere on shark tank for this company. The black truck was located in the parking lot of a kroger. There were no tables or seats outside so we had to take it home. The food came out quickly after we ordered on the app. We got a Connecticut lobster roll because all lobster rolls should be warm and a lobster bisque. The lobster bisque was very creamy and wasn't overly salty, there were 2 large lobster chucks in the soup. The lobster roll itself has a smaller brioche bun that was toasted and buttered. The bun could have been much more buttery, bigger and toasted longer for a more crispy texture. The meat on the rolls were indeed large chunks and worth every bit of the $20 you pay. They was lightly seasoned, fresh, and perfectly boiled. Quality Lobster rolls are difficult to find in Cincinnati and cousins really hits the spot. I'll be on the look out for when the truck returns to my area or opens a restaurant

    Omg this clam chowder is the best ever!! Also had the lobster tacos which were delicious! If this food truck is by you then you need to go. You won't be disappointed.

    We have eaten at their brick & mortar spot by OSU & at a truck in Willoughby Ohio. Both spots were great. Today in Loveland was disappointing. Very weak on the flavor of warm roll & the amount of meat seemed low. Sorry cousins we will try you again another day.

    Burnt spicy fried lobster roll.

    First time trying in Dent, OH today, I am rather disappointed when I was oh so excited. Online ordering was down which was a bummer. I asked if they could put the aioli on the side for the spicy roll and they said no when they very clearly could have and then the meat was burnt as seen in the picture. Very little portion sizes for the cost ($63 total). I got the lobster bisque and it had 2 small pieces of lobster in it. I ordered 2 rolls, a bisque and a whoopie pie and on the app menu it states you can get those as combos/add ons but I asked at the truck and they stated no. Disappointing all around from customer service to portion to presentation.

    I was so excited to see Cousins coming to our area! I set our calendar and told my husband a week in advance he was taking me. We arrived shortly after they opened. There were three people in line in front us. We placed our order for Connecticut roll, lobster quesadillas, lobster bisque, New England clam chowder and shrimp tacos. Our total was $74.98 (that includes the tip) which may seem high but remember we're dining on several lobster items and all seafood *YUM* the guy that took our order was very efficient, clear and friendly. Despite having three people ahead of us--the food all came out very promptly and faster than we expected! We ate in our car because we didn't want to wait (we drive 25 minutes to visit their truck). I drizzled some lime over our lobster roll which was amazing and we devoured first. It was generously filled with lobster meat and had a healthy amount of butter. The bun was well toasted and not soggy--it was the perfect combination. We both really enjoyed the shrimp tacos--my husband was pleasantly surprised and ended up eating 2/3. We also drizzled fresh limes over our tacos. The lobster quesadillas was delicious and fresh--I only wish it had a little more lobster in it. I opened up one of my 1/4 pieces and it literally only had two small chucks of lobster in it. I dipped these into the cilantro like sauce that came with it. Very refreshing. My husband got the New England Clam Chowder and allowed me to have several bites (which turned into me stealing the cup and finishing half of it). It was so flavorful and meaty. Next visit I will absolutely be ordering a bowl of this! I ordered my favorite--lobster bisque--to which I was a bit disappointed in. There was only one shred of lobster meat in it...if it was as meaty and amazing as the clam chowder it would have had the possibility of claiming the number 1 lobster bisque spot in my heart...however it doesn't even have the top 5 *womp womp* even though the lobster bisque was sad--we obviously plan on returning whenever they are in our area!!

    Half eaten roll. Forgot to take a picture before we started eating

    We split a Maine Roll and Connecticut roll. Food came out quickily and the staff was friendly. I will say the price was steep but they did give a good amount of lobster. Taste was great but I'm too cheap to pay $40 + tip for a snack. It was a great experience though as that was my first lobster roll.

    Lobster tots

    Pictures will not do this food truck any justice! I will say believe the hype, wait in line , pay the price. They have lobster tots , clam chowder, lobster grilled cheese etc. Get app the so you can keep up locations. Food coming from a food truck and seafood is hot!

    [TLDR]A food truck offering some fairly unique and creative sandwiches and wonderful sweet potato…read morefries[/TLDR] The thing I just don't have figured out about local food trucks is the pricing. You see, a lot of folks who want to open a restaurant start with a food truck these days because (in part) the costs of entry and operation associated with brick and mortar are much higher. So logically, given lower entry and operating costs, the price of a meal at a food truck should be lower than for the equivalent item at a brick-n-mortar eatery. But this rarely if ever seems to be the case locally, and indeed, everything seems to be a dollar or two more expensive than I'd expect at a brick and mortar at this food truck given my visit to the Screaming Goat. I will say their menu is generally more ambitious than most food trucks I have encountered. Many local food trucks feature as few as 3-4 items with a very simple ingredient list. Many of the dozen or so menu items here have a dozen or so ingredients, and are generally unique combinations of flavors one is not likely to find elsewhere. The Mac Daddy ($8) is one of the least complex items - basically a grilled cheese with bacon and mac-n-cheese - and I have heard considerable good word-of-mouth on this one, but it came off as plain and bland to me. The bacon was there texturally, but somehow lent no flavor to the sandwich. I didn't pull off the bread to check for the presence or absence of cheese, but if some was there, I can assure you I didn't taste any. The mac was itself very bland, with almost no cheese flavor when sampled by itself, and unfortunately overcooked to mushiness. I think this would also have been a bit better if the bread had been grilled a tad longer, but as you can see from the picture it only reached a light blond color. I also wish they'd have cut the sandwich in half for easier handling. Now, before you ask me if I'd like some cheese with my whine (and the answer to that will always be an unqualified YES!), let me say that the "Crackhead" fries ($3) were by far the better of the two items I have tried there. I love sweet potato fries, and the marriage of honey and whatever slightly caliente spice mix they use was very, very good; with the only problem being that there wasn't much of it and what was there was not well distributed - strong flavors on one fry while another was almost entirely unseasoned. If all the fries were seasoned properly, I'd call this a 5 star item. One other minor issue - these were served in an open fry boat like I was going to sit down there, but there are no tables. Should have been packaged in a manner more suited to takeout. I was told that the menu was seasonal, so once summer winds down the menu may well be partly or even entirely different. Service was affable and quick. I forgot to ask if they take credit cards, but will do so on my next visit, where I will ask for extra seasoning on those fries :-) 4 stars for the fries, 2 stars for the mac daddy sandwich and other issues = 3 stars overall

    Urban Vistro is a chef-driven food truck from Vitor Abreu. He runs Vitor's Bistro in West Harrison,…read moreIndiana, and also this food truck that I stumbled upon one day. The menu for the day was large, especially for a food truck, and featured tacos, quesadillas, burgers, grilled cheese, and sandwiches. I had the chicken tacos which featured braised chicken, roasted corn and tomato pico, and lime sour cream (2 tacos for $9). The tortillas were filled with plenty of chicken and toppings and the taste was great. We went back for hush puppies later in the day, and my daughter still talks about how good those were. I wouldn't hesitate to hit up this food truck in the future and will have to remember Vitor's Bistro if I'm ever out in West Harrison.

Just from a glance at the menu I knew I wanted to come back and try something. I think Urban Vistro is a fairly new addition to the Cincinnati food truck scene and it's a great one. It was a tough night for them with so many drunk people and lots of orders stacked up so it did take a while for my food to come out but it was definitely worth the wait. I ordered the Unforgettable French Toast and the Cincinnati Pig Dog. Due to the long wait I also walked off with a quesadilla that was offered up by the truck's owner. Everything was delicious. I really hope to see this truck around town again!
