The food truck was in my city, so this time I actually went and bought food. I ordered the Lobster Quesadilla, and I was debating on getting extra meat for $8 more, but didn't. The quesadilla was $23. I can't say that I've had better, since this was my first lobster quesadilla and I have nothing to compare it to. But I'd imagine that's what it's supposed to taste like. My palette was looking forward to the taste of lobster, so thats all I was focused on. Meals range from $22-$29 and soups are $9/$11....they also have kids meals with a grilled cheese or quesadilla. I can now finally scratch them off my eatery "to-do" list. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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) read more

Being from New England and as a former cook who used to prep thousands of lobsters every summer on the coast of Maine I stumbled across this truck in Irvine! Really enjoyed the lobster roll, tots, and chowder. Definitely a taste of home and enjoyed meeting the owner too! Thank you read more

Unfortunately a very disappointing foodie experience! The lobster bisque had no flavor nor lobster. I had to add a ton of crystal's hot sauce and some seasoning just for it to be palatable. The Connecticut lobster roll was comically small in size and it came out cold and a tad fishy smelling. Not hot, buttery and delicious as expected. Almost $50 total for a mediocre meal. I was left sad and feeling like I wasted my hard earned money. The Cousins have to do better! read more

We tried several items and enjoyed most of them. Highly recommend the warm lobster roll and their quesadillas. My only "complaint" is that some locations that where the truck parks they don't have the best parking for customers. read more

Website clearly states the OC Truck will be at this location, on this date and time. I came around 7:15PM. Truck wasn't there. What the heck? If they're not going to be at a location they need to update the website so people don't waste time. On the bright side I saved $24. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I wish we knew exactly when they travel to the Murrieta/Temecula area. My lobster roll was amazing.

Yummy lobster rolls & decent price. We also very much enjoyed the pumpkin whoopee pie

I am not sure what truck it was that came out to Chino hills, CA today (March 11, 2026) but it was a nice treat! Food was Amazing! Tons of really good sweet fresh lobster on the roll and the lobster bisque was crazy! The guys running the truck were supper cool and I hope they come back soon! Thanks!! read more

I was quite happily surprised when I came home and saw the truck parked outside! I always love the opportunity to order from them. Today being a Tuesday, I thought why not try the lobster tacos since I had never had them before. They were delicious, at first I was a bit confused because I thought they would be served warm, with that being said the tortillas and the lobster were fresh but I would've Asked for the lobster and the tortillas to be heated. I'll know next time. The guy working the window was very friendly and courteous, and everything seemed clean and well organized. Be prepared to pay a competitive market price. They are not an inexpensive food truck. I'm a happy customer and love a surprise no cooking night lol! read more

I was excited to finally try this food truck. I was very disappointed the portions are small. About 6 bites of lobster in my lobster and tots. Will not go there again. Really disappointed!!! read more

Overpriced piece of crap. No flavor on anything. Lobster roll the size of a shrimp. Stay away!!

This review is for the Maine Lobster truck- my husband ordered the lobster tail and tots to go, upon opening our order we saw Little to no "lobster tail meat" $26 dollars for just tots and bunch of tomatoes and pico de gallo and maybe 5 pieces of lobsters (cut up) is definitely not worth the money. The company should invest into making sure that buyers get their money's worth when it comes to what they ordered. Husband and I are left very disappointed to know that we barely got any meat and it was just tots mainly. I will not try this place again. read more

Wow good! I was kind of expecting a larger roll but really it was filled to overflowing with lobster. They were very quick on making it. Nice truck. Easy access at Family Fun Fest in Yorba Linda. I had the OC special which comes with your choice of roll tater tots and a soda or a bottle of water. For the roll, I chose the Connecticut. read more

Laziest food concept. Low-quality lobster pieces jammed into a piece of ordinary bread. That's your concept? Lobster scraps mixed with day-old tomatoes and a drizzle of taco sauce on cold tortillas. That's got to be some sort of cultural appropriation. Last but not least: my whole family got sick after our first (and last time) eating from this truck. read more

Cousins Maine Lobster Food truck Maine Lobster Roll : served chilled with a touch of mayo on a New England roll. I really wanted to love it because I've seen it on my social media for so long. I wasn't wowed by flavor or presentation. The lobster was tender. Connecticut Lobster Roll: served warm with butter and lemon on a New England roll. Note: if you're not going to eat right away, order the Maine Lobster instead. The bun gets a little soggy. It also had less lobster. It was $23 each so it's pretty pricey for what you get. The New England roll was not the best. read more

I ordered the Maine Lobster Roll and a bag of the cape cod chips. The lobster roll is very small for the price, the meat didn't taste fresh, very obviously frozen/recently thawed (weird texture) and not enough mayo for it to be a real Maine style. I'm from Maine so I am holding it to a high standard. I have had better from this truck before so could have been an off day. The chips tasted very off and I checked the date and they expired an entire year ago. What the heck!!! So expensive for a terrible meal I wanted to love it! Have had it before and usually do... read more

I've never been to Maine or anywhere on the East Coast, so I can't compare to "the real deal" as I've seen in other reviews, BUT I love their Connecticut Lobster Rolls! I tried Cousins twice already, once in Irvine and most recently in Garden Grove. The line can get long. We got there right at the start time, but we didn't get to order until an hour later. We didn't know about ordering ahead online until we saw some people come and pick up their order. The Connecticut roll is super flavorful, and I enjoy the warmed lobster a lot. I also like the bun they use. $23 is pricy for a sandwich that size, so I'd only get this once in a while. Still, it's the best lobster roll in my opinion, and I can't wait for the next time I go! read more

I rand into this particular food truck at 13 Point Brewery in Lemon Grove when they were visiting San Diego from Orange County, CA. I had the three lobster tacos for $18 and some change. They were alright. i felt they needed more flavor. The lobster was cooked properly and was tender, but it was very simple in flavor. I wish the tacos would of come with some drawn butter too. The cilantro lime sauce was pretty good but it needed a little more oomph, if you now what I mean. I wish I would of know that they serve them with corn tortillas too. I missed that on the menu. I thought they came on corn by default because you know, in So Cal., tacos rarely come on flour. Corn tortillas rule when it come to tacos. Service was friendly enough, but could of been more energetic. read more

Fresh tasty lobster!!! Oh my gosh where to start!!! It's not everyday I get to eat fresh lobster from Maine that doesn't taste like farmed lobster. The lobster is super fresh, and doesn't taste "fishy". It tastes quite elegant. We ordered the "Maine" lobster since it was our first time and we wanted to try the lobster that this food truck is known for. MIND BLOWN BY THE ELEGANT FLAVORS!!! We ordered: 1) lobster tail and tots - the lobster tail was super tender and tasty. I have not had a lobster this fresh and tasty since I was on the east coast in Boston. Fresh tasty lobster is hard to find on the west coast. The tots were fresh, they did not taste greasy. 2) Maine lobster roll with tots - the lobster roll was also tasty. The lobster was cold with just a hint of mayonnaise. The roll itself was very soft. 9 thumbs up!! I would return and order again!! Next time, I will try the Connecticut lobster roll. If you like lobster, I highly recommend checking out this food truck and their event schedule. I happened to come across them when they were in Rancho Cucamonga for a pop-up. read more

Cousins Maine Lobster brings lobster out to your neighborhood! Their online site provides the location, date and time where you can meet the lobster truck to pickup an order. I recently drove out to Irvine CA, to give Cousin's a try. The truck was parked just outside an apartment complex in an easy to find parking lot. I walked up to the truck and asked the server to tell me about their most popular dish. He explained that it was the Connecticut lobster roll, served warm. Sounded good, so I ordered two of them as combos with tots. I found the rolls to be a little smaller than I had expected them to be, but they were loaded with lobster. So much so, that the lobster was spilling over the side of the roll. I love lobster and the roll was absolutely delicious. I also enjoyed the generous portion of the tots. I did feel the price was a tad high, at close to $30 per plate, considering it was a truck without venue for eating on site. Would I do it again? Definitely. read more

Found them on on-line and saw that they were gonna set up shop five minutes away from the homestead...to the rear of Four Sons Brewing in HB. Planned for a week to go. We went. Apparently, there was some type of controversy with the location and they were closing up when we got there around 2PM. They had to move to a different location right down the street. We hung out at Four Sons and had a brew while they set up at the other location. We got: Maine lobster roll combo w/drink Maine lobster roll a la carte Tater tots Lobster bisque Lobster tacos. $90 w/tip. Food was ok. The rolls were a little bland. Bisque was nice. Tacos ok. Tots coulda been kicked up a few notches, maybe some chives and parmesan on 'em? Pretty sure a one-off for us, but it was worth a shot. read more

This is my first time trying this food truck, and I ordered a Connecticut clam chowder. The lobster was buttery, fluffy, meaty, and a lot. I love how you can taste the lobster, and the bun is soft & compliments the whole flavor. The chowder is excellent, too, with good grade class, not sandy cheap ones from other places. I love it; I will try it again. It is pricey but worth the money I paid $30+ for both items. read more

So, we drove here to Hangar 24 Redlands to try the food truck. Love lobster. Went to order. They only take cash. No sign posted stating this. Thought, no prob, I'll just order from their app. Unfortunately, the truck location wasn't on their app. When I went up to ask, I was told they turn it off when it's a busy place. Funny!!! Only saw one or two people at most at a time. Amateur move, Cousin's! Get with the times. I watched you lose sales because there's no atm, no way to order on the app. I'm sure Barbara would be surprised at the lack of business acumen. Update: appreciate the challenges faced. But it would behoove you to post a sign on the truck stating cash only. And have an update posted on your website cash only. If you know this is a problem at that location or any other location with poor reception, then be proactive. You are a business! It hurts you way more than it hurts me. I would have adjusted accordingly. read more
