    I've eaten Cousins Maine Lobster when they were at OhanaFest in Dana Point. Festival food is pricey, thanks to the cut that goes to the festival so their lobster rolls were a heart-stopping $36. However, it was better than taking a chance on any of the random vendors they had at the festival. Food came out very quickly. I got the one with garlic butter, which was delicious. It was very small though, smaller than my hand, and I have tiny hands. I wish it at least came with chips or something, to help balance the high price. I may complain about the price, but I know if I see Cousins Maine Lobster at Ohana next year, I'll be lining up.

    wow, I can't believe so much lobster! Every bite had lobster in it

    I love all the lobster that came with the lobster grilled cheese. Now I know what Barbara invested in.

    I ordered the Connecticut lobster roll which is the warm one with butter. The other option is Maine and is a chilled roll with mayo. It's a small roll but tastes very good. If you are hungry, you may not be full at all. I attached some photos and it happens to be sitting on a napkin but you can see that the box is smaller than the napkin. And these are your generic, diner napkins. So it's small! Positive is that the quality is good. My disappointment is the high price and small quantity. However everything is expensive these days. It was $26 on the menu board, and I was charged $28.02 total.

    I got drawn in with all the publicity they have received. The staff were friendly and the food came out in roughly 10 mins. This is a food truck so there isn't much to say about ambiance but we ate in our car. We ordered the Connecticut style lobster roll which is warm and the lobster quesadilla. I was a little disappointed after opening the boxes. The roll was smaller than expected and had less lobster. Other places I've been put more lobster. However the roll was tasty, but for $25 I was hoping for more. The quesadilla was the same. The quesadilla came cut into 4 triangles. Most of the quesadillas were either missing cheese or missing lobster. Only the tip of each of the four pieces had both lobster and cheese. As you make your way to the edges, it became only tortilla. Overall, not satisfied and appears to be over hyped. Although tasty, for the price, I feel that I did not get a good amount of food.

    This was my first time trying the lobster sandwich from Cousins .Their Lobster truck was in my area today so I decided to try it. Coming from Northern California I've had my share of lobster sandwiches especially from Sam's Chowder House in Half Moon Bay California. Theirs is probably the best one you can ever have. The lobster sandwich I had today from Cousin was nothing special. The size of the sandwich was TINY TINT TINY! It was more like a kids size sandwich. For $30.00 shame on them! Live and learn never ever again. Shark Tank steered me wrong!

    Had the food truck coming today and always wanted to try it once. The manager Sean is very friendly. Upon opening the bag, we found the lobster roll is definitely on the tiny side, but the tots portion was generous. Could definitely see the struggle of small franchise owners, they really would like to give you more for less but just couldn't. The taste of the roll was really good tho, if only for taste, 5 star for the lobster roll. If you want some value go for the special. Lobster bisque also has tiny portion of lobster, but clam chowder was rich in content and delicious, and was recommended by Sean, again the business struggle. I would definitely recommend to friends, for occasional tryout. Thanks again Sean!

    Attended an outdoor concert at a park and decided to give Cousins Maine Lobster a try since I do love anything lobster. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable when they took my order and even though the event location had a large amount of people present, this food truck was the only food truck bringing their orders out quickly in a timely manner compare to the other food trucks during the concert event. Food truck was clean and presentable with plenty of pictures of their food menu that all looked so appetizing.

    We had the Tail & Tots and the Connecticut Roll this past Tuesday!They were served both fresh and delicious! The lobster and the bread are buttery and warm for a "melt in your mouth" fusion of flavors which is well executed, and I feel like you get a good amount of lobster in each bite (there were literally pieces falling off when I would bite). Nothing's too oily and the tots stayed crispy a while. I'd definitely come back (Tip: order online so you don't have to wait in the super long lines)

    We love Cousins!! Whenever the truck is local we find it! The Lobster Rolls are yummy!! I love the Maine Root Root Beer! Chowder is great, if you can deal with the cals get a whoopie pie!! Service is great!! Follow and find cousins!!

    I rarely get to eat a good lobster roll so Cousins was a nice treat. Their chunky lobster bits were delicious and super high quality. I just wish it was 200% bigger. I also got some of their tater tots which was really good. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was the lobster bisque I had was lacking. No bits or chunks of lobster. If I had known I wouldn't have gotten it.

    I was very happy to get my lobster roll fix at Cousins Maine Lobster truck while it was in my neighborhood! It made my uneventful Friday night eventful! We picked up a couple of OC Specials for $29 you get a lobster roll, tots and a can of soda or bottled water. I had the cold lobster roll and my friend had the warm one. We were both happy! We were also very happy for the huge side serving of tots! Perfect! After picked up our order, we walked across the street to her place and opened up a bottle of Chardonnay for TGIF!

    $29.00 right there

    So I ordered a Connecticut Lobster Roll. Roll was the size of a regular Taco Tortilla..29.00 with tax. Redicoulus..taste was the reason I gave them a 2 star..it was ok, left much to be desired. Im from Rhode Island so I know Lobster roll. I have a picture not sure if I can upload

And she comes around from time to time to check on us to make sure we're enjoying our food. Really nice to receive this kind of attention from a fast-casual restaurant. The Santa Maria BBQ Salad looked good but I asked her if they could substitute the chicken with the Chimichurri steak and she said "sure!" And surprisingly they did not charge extra! I love restaurants that are flexible like this. My salad bowl was SO good and filling. Lots of good stuff in it: chopped salad mix, coleslaw mix, Applewood-smoked bacon, crumbled goat cheese, corn & black bean salsa, grape tomatoes. Served with chipotle ranch dressing and blackberry BBQ sauce on the side, and a fresh baked focaccia bread. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the cold meat. I was under the impression that the meat was going to be hot. My BF got the Southwestern Sandwich. It was delicious. All the Southwestern flavors were there but not overwhelming. The sandwich was hot and juicy. For a restaurant that makes everything from scratch, their prices are very affordable. Both our meals were only $27 total. Friendly service, great food and good prices - what not to love?

I was meeting my foodie friend there at 12:30. The parking lot has limited space, which made it an extra challenge to park. Thankfully I only had to circle the block once to come back and snag a spot. (Meanwhile, my friend got there before me and was already enjoying an appetizer). Orders are placed at the counter and they call your number once your food is ready. The dining room consists of mostly booth seating with one "communal" table, and counter seating with 5ish chairs. There are also a handful of tables set outside. I've really been enjoying banh mi and their Bulgogi beef sandwich sounded great. I also happen to have a thing for popcorn chicken, so I got an order of that to round out my lunch. Oh, and based on the rave reviews I've read about their peach & lychee green tea, I ordered one of those as well. Let me just say, lunch was very satisfying! The sandwich was generously filled the fresh ingredients and the meat to veggie ratio was perfect. I'm not sure what the green sauce was that they finished the sammie off with but it was SO tasty!! I requested the popcorn chicken with medium heat and it was just spicy enough to leave my tongue tingling slightly. My friend saved an egg roll for me and it was also really good. (The tea by the way was very refreshing.) Now, this was my first time here but I never saw anyone come out to check the dining room or wipe down the tables after the lunch rush. This was especially concerning to me because they had a guy doing work on the windows who put his feet/ shoes on the tables right under said windows. Ewww. But aside from the parking challenge and the table hygiene/cleanliness, our visit was quite enjoyable and the food was very good. We would definitely return, but we'll have to plan around the lunch rush!
