The lobster rolls are seriously tasty! These are a little pricey but worth it! I've been to other lobster trucks before, but Monsta Lobsta has the biggest portions and you get the most meat for your dollar! read more

Monsta Lobsta - Lobster roll! - Food Trucks Near Me

The food truck phenomenon sweeping Orlando is full of amazing surprises. Word on the circuit was: if you *ever* see that lobster truck, go for the lobster roll. My quest ended last Sunday when our paths finally did cross at the Orlando Food Truck Bazaar behind Fashion Square Mall. Eureka! Honestly, Monsta Lobsta's 4 oz. lobster roll's one of the best things I think I've ever eaten: a buttered, toasted, top split bun, brimming over with big chunks of chilled lobster, mixed -- just right -- in a salad with mayo and scallions. Lotta lobsta flavor. If there is a food of the gods, surely this is it! So I pass this advice on to you, gentle reader: if you EVER see the Monsta Lobsta truck, go. Yes, you will pay 10 bucks for a 4 oz. sammie -- no chips, no pickle, no drink, just a lobster roll. (There's a jumbo version available for $20.) Yes, you will stand in line with the great unwashed masses just to place your order. And then you'll wait on the sidelines while your lobster roll is being prepared. But is it worth it? You betcha! read more

Fake. The rolls are mixed with 80% shreaded fis filler. I grew up in NE. This place is a nasty scam. Dont do it!

I have to say, I feel like an idiot everytime I have to tell someone about this place. Say it out loud to yourself and tell me you still feel cool. Regardless, I still tell lots of peeps about this place because they make a darn good lobster roll. The Great: SO much delicious meat! this one fact pretty much trumps all other complaints....and I apologize, I have just one The Good: Unbenkownst to me, I went halves with a buddy and he ordered the spicy lobster roll. Don't you think this is something that should be discussed and agreed upon before ordering?! So do I. It WAS good, but i think a classic one would have been BETTER. The Meh(or as I like to call it my ultimate dissapointing surprise): They are cold lobster rolls with light mayo for dressing. Now I know some will say a true lobster roll is ALWAYS served cold, i don't care. I'm not a traditionalist. I like my lobster rolls to be warm and all buttered up! Maybe this is an option, but since I didn't order it I didn't have a chance to ask. If not, "HELLO MR. MONSTA, Please make a warm lobster roll with drawn butter! Yours Truly, Sporkeyes read more

I see ya baby, shakin that tail...shakin that tail... I've seen the Monsta Lobsta truck around town and heard of it's magical deliciousness, but finally had a chance to sample it at the Orlando Food Truck Bazaar at the Fashion Square Mall. Since we had a lot of grub to sample, the Future Lawyer and I split an original roll ($12.00). We debated about the Spicy Lobster Roll and The Bisque Roll (with lobster bisque on top!), but decided to start with the original and then saturate our palate with the specials at a later date. The sandwich comes on a toasted bun PILED high with delicious lobster salad, we had a full cracked claw facing our mouths. The flavoring is good, not too overpowering, not too mayonnaise-y. It definitely did not last long between the two of us. We are definitely looking forward to sampling more from Monsta Lobsta! read more

Food Truck Monsta Lobsta was at "Tipples" at Tower 24 Friday evening (8/7/2020). We bought three Lobster rolls, two small and one large as well as a container of Lobster Bisque for "dipping" and dripping on the rolls. It was not a "cheap meal" and was well worth every penny! Plenty of meat and very little mayo, celery or non-lobsta fillings. Mostly lobster meat!! Smaller regular size buns (traditional sweet/grilled rolls) with double the meat for a large. We will have a new Friday Night dinner place. read more

This is the second time we've sampled Monsta Lobsta, both times at the Windermere Food Truck Round-up and both times were awesome. The taste, quality, and service are all amazing. I ordered the Monsta Lobsta Roll - to put it simply: THE THING IS HUGE. It's no surprise that Monsta Lobsta always has the longest lines. After we ordered I handed my USAA USMC credit card to the young lady taking orders and she asked if I was a Marine. I replied that I had served and she discounted our ticket and thanked me for my service. It was a totally unexpected gesture and very appreciated. read more

Well, the roll was definitely Monsta sized, but it was NOT all Lobster. When you spend $24 for what is advertised as a lobster roll, you expect to get 100% lobster meat, not imitation crab or some other mystery fish. Very disappointing. I will not buy from them again. read more

Just got back from the food truck bazaar in Sanford and tried their lobster roll for the first time. WOW!!! This was the best lobster roll I've ever eaten. It was spilling over with large chunks of lobster meat, very little if any mayo, a nice hint of lemon and a fantastically grilled roll. I only glanced at their menu, here are a few things that caught my eye........lobster bisque, monster lobster roll, spicy lobster roll and lobster roll covered in lobster bisque. If you happen to go to a food truck bazaar be sure to give them a try. read more

Monsta Lobsta - YUM! - Food Trucks Near Me

I had the pleasure of getting not only delicious warm buttery lobster roll but meeting the owners. They were so kind myself and my children!

I finally caught up with this amazing food truck in Gainesville. Absolutely delicious! Worth the money. Full of lobster and not too much mayo. Seasoned perfectly. The bun is slightly sweet like a potato bun. read more

Monsta Lobsta - Original Lobster roll - Food Trucks Near Me

Taste was OK but half the roll was imitation crab! A lobster roll should be 100% lobster!! Needed more mayo and flavor too. At $24 for 8oz it should definitely be all lobster. Imitation crab is so low quality and full of fillers. When someone.orders a lobster roll they expect to Only get LOBSTER read more

I had the lobster roll smothered in lobster bisque. Hot bisque plus cold lobster roll equals a lukewarm dish. Next time I'll have them separately. Otherwise no complaints. I'll happily try them again. read more

Had the spicy lobster roll. It had pretty good overall flavor - could have been a little spicier for my taste. At $12 it is a bit pricey, but this is Florida and not New England. I know these are supposed to be served cold but a hot option with some melted butter would be an upgrade in my my opinion. I would try them again if they return to the area. read more

Whenever the food truck bazaar stops by my neighborhood I have to drop by this place. Pricey.. yes... but common it's lobster. A LOT of lobster on a nicely toasted buttery slice of bread (also had it come on a roll before) Sometimes they have the option of adding lobster bisque on top as well! It was amazing with the bisque on top. Although, I remember the bisque being cold, would have been nice if it was semi-hot. Anyways, if you don't mind dropping $10 - $15 on a lobster roll.... DO IT! read more

I was referred to Monsta Lobsta at the Food Truck weekly event behind RDV in Maitland that occurs every Friday. I am by no means a Lobster Roll connoisseur, but I know great when I taste it. I sampled both the Lobster Bisque and the Spice Lobster Roll. Total price was $17 which is pricey for lunch but MORE than worth it when it comes to flavor. You get what you pay for as they say. The spicy lobster roll was nothing by delicious lobster chunks with just the right amount of spicy mayo on a perfect toasted and buttered bun. The bisque was rich and tasty. It was maybe a bit lacking on lobster meat chunks but the roll had so much I didn't care. Can't wait to try it again. Highly recommended. read more

Monsta Lobsta creates many extraordinary items - anything from lobster rolls to blue crab quesadillas. My first experience with lobster rolls actually came from this lovely establishment! It was buttery and fresh and absolutely perfect! They also offer clam chowder, lobster bisque, and blue crab rolls. read more

Monsta Lobsta - a sign for a restaurant - Food Trucks Near Me

Solid lobster roll at a really good price. The lobster always comes nice and cold inside of a warm bun and I have never been disappointed with my roll. The pickle that comes with a meal is also very good. Minus one star because the lobster bisque is underwhelming. Very little lobster to speak of and it was bland for my liking. read more

We've been having food trucks come to Valencia for a couple of weeks now. Being that I'm a huge seafood fan I was extremely excited when I saw the email come across about this place. Unfortunately maybe I just can't afford food trucks as my lunch budget doesn't allow me to go into double digits which limited me on choices. I finally decided on the Spicy Lobster Bisque for $6. The non-spicy was only $5; but, I like spice. It was served in a container that could barely fit one scoop of ice cream. It couldn't have been more than one ladle full of their spicy bisque. He warned me to stir it up because all the spice was on the bottom. Well, it must have been on the bottom of the pot because I got no spice. What I did get was the taste of canned lobster bisque that I've had from the grocery store. It was void of any meat at all. Judging by the reviews here I'm clearly in the minority -- but, I expected more from this place. read more

We caught up with Monst Lobsta at the Clermont Food Truck event the first Friday in June. My wife and I started with a Lobster Roll for her and a Blue Crab roll for me. I must say they are the nicest folks I have ever encountered in a food truck and are the equal of any cafe or restaurant you can think of. I found the Blue Crab roll well worth the $10 price. Strong, rich crab flavor on a warm and tasty roll. Just enough mayo and scallions to keep it together. This is in my hall of fame for one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. My wife liked her Lobster roll, but found it a bit salty. Then we made our mistake. We went back for seconds. After all the sandwiches were not THAT big; right? Wrong. I got the Lobster roll the second time and found mine as good as any lobster roll I have had in New England. The lobster was just a bit salty, but I have had far worse. Over all, well worth the $10. But be warned, unless you can handle a large amount of very rich food, 2 sandwiches are 1 too many! ;-) I left feeling way too full! But the discomfort was well worth it. I will be searching for them again and again. It is well worth seeking out this nomadic purveyor of gustatory delights. To find them check out their web site monstalobst.net . read more

I had high expectations for this food truck.. Unfortunately, it didn't hold up to well. First, all the spices mixed in the "lobster" salad was over powering (but maybe that's my taste?, so I didn't deduct any stars). The roll was stale & the last roll served for the day should be just as fresh & delicious as the 1st, I thought this was worth a one star deduction. My biggest complaint (& for me it's the worst one, false advertising) the roll was probably 75% Imitation Crab & 25% actual lobster, maybe it's me, but this is at least a 2 star deduction, especially when your charging me $24 for a Lobster roll that's actually mostly Imitation Crab.. that's a bummer. There is some good.. kinda. The lobster bisque had a good flavor, but no lobster, maybe tinsy bits. The soda was ice cold. Last word, if you are a give me a Lobster roll in a toasted New England roll stuffed with huge chunks of fresh Lobster & little of anything else (besides a small bit of mayo) kinda professional lobster roll person, you may want to pass this truck without stopping. read more

Monsta Lobsta - 60% Imitation Crab, 15% Lobster, 25% stale roll. - Food Trucks Near Me

This was literally the worst lobster roll. I am from Boston and know what it takes to make a true lobster roll. This truck is using some sort of shredded lobster mixture to fill 3/4 of the roll and calling it 4ounces of lobster meat, and putting two small claw meats on top ... the roll was stale and cold. The lobster mixture tasted so so strong of lemon I couldn't even eat it. I just pulled it apart and tried to salvage my $14 spent. If I wasn't already home I would have brought it back. Really it was gross I'm sorry. read more

Just ordered Monday Lobsta for 14.00 plus tip 17.50. Menu said cooked with butter. I received cold bun with fake lobster and no condiments or even lettuce. Horrible food! I have been supporting small businesses during Covid but this was terrible. They couldn't even toast the bun with butter. read more

As a New Englander this was a huge disappointment. The lobster was frozen not fresh and it was mixed with shredded crab. You received one star for buttered and grilled roll. Will not be back. read more

This is not your typical food truck. They use real lobster and trust me, you will like it! My first encounter was during the holiday at the drive in Edgewater Drive last December, since then I follow their facebook page on their whereabouts and when they are in Par the area I live, I would usually get a lobster roll! For me its a bit pricey but I get what I pay for and that is real lobster honey so I cannot complain! read more

I love lobster rolls and was so excited to see an entire truck devoted to them. I ordered the half and half roll (half lobster, half crab). It was just okay and I was disappointed. This is the first lobster roll I have ever had where it was served cold (the bun only was toasted), and there was no buttery flavor. I would come again and ask for the entire thing warmed and extra butter! read more

We had Monsta Lobsta at a local brewery in Ocoee. The toasted buttery bun was amazing !!! The mix does not have too much mayo like a lot of others .. Also had a cup of bisque to go .. it was awesome !! If you see the truck check it out for sure :) read more

My experience at the rally this year was mixed. It was not raining like last year, but seemed a lot smaller. Last year I got a regular lobster roll from this truck, and thought it alright. Shannon H. really wanted to try one, so I thought I'd try something new. I got the lobster roll smothered in bisque. I really enjoyed it. I like sauces, and I liked the richness of the bisque. read more

I follow them on FB and visit whenever they come to town. Have never been disappointed with the lobster roll!

Oh my. These Lobstah Rolls are like WHOA. I had the honor and privilege to sample these devastatingly amazing sandwiches at my sister's wedding. My dad decided to surprise my sister with the food trucks during her cocktail hour and it was a hit! In fact, it pretty much was the highlight of the wedding-and the wedding was outstanding!!! The only thing I'm upset about is that I live 3 hours away and can't devour these little bundles of lobster heaven on the regular. I'm not kidding, I had like, 12 of these glorious rolls....do yourself a giant favor and STALK this truck! If you live in their area, I'm BEYOND jelly. But seriously-damn good lobster rolls. Keep doing what you're doing guys, bc you're making the world a tastier place!!! read more

These people come to where I work once a month or so and love it. Lobster roll smothered in bisque is my favorite. The roll it's on is sweet like the king Hawaiian rolls YUMMMM. Many food trucks are the same old same old but Monsta Lobsta stands out. read more

Tried this yesterday at the OG food truck rally ordered a lobster bisque sandwhich it was very different from conventional lobster ! Cool cuisine idea read more

This is my favorite food truck!!! All delish, crave it everyday!! Always so fresh & tasty! Huge chunks of lobster buttery roll!

Enjoyed a lobsta roll today at the Walgreens International Dragon Boat Festival presented by PepsiCo. The lobstah was delicious and tender... and it WASN'T drowning in mayo. It had garlic salt and the roll was toasted which adds to the flavor. The lobsta meat was spilling out and over the roll. Had to stop at a table to enjoy and make sure I didn't lose any meat falling!! Thank you for a wonderful lunch! read more

Lobster rolls were on the salty side. Maybe it's the time of year, so we'll try again in a month or two. Even so, they were still pretty good. What we really enjoyed, though, were the blue crab rolls. Lots of great blue crab flavor and no saltiness. Like some other reviewers, we could do without the scallions in both these rolls. This is a friendly family run food truck that we'll be glad to patronize in the future, regardless. read more

I won't eat lobster rolls anywhere else but here. Personally, I recommend the spicey lobster roll but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The food is great and the people working the truck are as friendly as it gets. I make sure to stop whenever they're in town. read more

I honestly question all these reviews for Monsta Lobsta who praise them. Did I go to the wrong food truck? The roll I got was not toasted, did not have any resemblance to a lobster roll but looked more like a dinner roll. It was piled high with lettuce and a couple scrawny pieces of shredded meat that resembled lobster but had no flavor. I paid $12.00 for this dinner roll with lettuce and shredded something. Yikes, never again. Here is how a lobster roll should be made in case you want to do it right... Get yourself a hoagie roll big enough to support all your ingredients. Butter the inside of both sides of the roll and fry it on the buttered sides until golden brown. Lather both side of the roll with a generous portion of home made Cole slaw. Pile high enough chunked lobster meat to justify eating the meal with a fork then season it with Old Bay seasoning. Wrap it in paper so the roll doesn't sweat and get soggy. Serve with lots of napkins. I have made these lobster rolls for over 25 years now and they have never cost more than $5.00 to make myself. Haven't found a food truck yet that can make any food better than I can make it at home. Guess I will just give up on trying to find good food from a food truck unless it's something I don't make such as pretzels. read more

This was the closest I have come to an "OK" lobster roll in Florida. The lobster was mildly tasty (and this was the "spicy"option). The bun could have been more buttered and fresh. Having tried lobster rolls in New England, I still continue to crave a roll of equal satisfaction. read more

Monsta Lobsta food truck came to our business for a lunchtime event and was a huge hit! This is the best lobster roll I've ever had, and I had one in Boston recently! There were huge chunks of tender juicy lobster, so full of flavor. If I wasn't stuffed after one 4oz. roll, I would have had another! I did manage to fit in a bowl of Lobster Bisque later and it was creamy deliciousness! There were rave reviews about Monsta Lobsta all around the workplace all day. I can't wait to have them back - next time I'm trying the Blue Crab Roll (I heard it was great)! In addition to the amazing menu, this husband and wife team were so incredibly friendly, professional and helpful, making it a breeze to set up this event. If I see Monsta Lobsta out anywhere, I'm grabbing a bite! read more

Had their lobster rolls when they came out to the Gator baseball game. Amazing. Tons of meat, big, toasted roll and for the price, well worth the value! read more
