Went yesterday for lunch and ordered fish and chips for a pricey $18. Got the order and the fries looked old and we're luke warm. They were disgusting. The fish was really oily - yes I'm aware they are deep fried lol, but my favorite fish places don't leave my fingers greasy. I guess what really makes me unhappy is that just looking at the fries you could tell they would not be good and we were served them anyway. read more

Rudy's Hideaway Truck - Fish and chips. - Food Trucks Near Me

My coworker and I are on a food truck journey! We're making it a mission to try and hit all the food trucks that come to the SactoMoFo event near our work every week. Pro-tip: Check out the food truck event schedule to see what's coming near you! My coworker got a $20 lobster roll from this truck. I had a bite. Ehhhh. It wasn't that good and really not worth that price tag. It wasn't best tasting lobster and the bread roll made me sad. It was completely untoasted and there was just too much bread to lobster ratio. My other coworker got this fish and chips and he said he liked that. BUT! I have had the clam chowder fries and I remember that being pretty dang good. I will definitely be back to try other stuff on the menu. read more

I tried this food truck for the first time this week. I had a brief internal debate about spending $20 for the lobster roll lunch. I went for it and was not disappointed. No regrets. They didn't skimp on the lobster. My sandwich had chunks of lobster tossed in a lemon buttery aioli sauce with bits of celery. The celery gave it a nice crunchy texture but was not overpowering. It tasted good. The lobster meat was served on top of a piece of loose lettuce in a soft roll. The meal came with waffle fries, a dill pickle spear, a lemon wedge, and a moist towelette. Don't forget to grab a fork to pickup every last morsel. The fellas working the truck were great. My order came out quickly. If you see this truck and like seafood, go checkout their menu. The lobster roll is the most expensive item but the majority of their menu items are closer to $12. read more

It's Friday and the hubs and I are currently practicing Lent; which means "Fish Fridays" for us. And we also gave up carbs and starch type of food, so our lunch options were super limited. As we were driving to Burgers and Brew (B&B) we passed up a food truck with a colorful crab and lobster on it. We pull over in the quickness because neither of us wanted the tilapia fish and chips at B&B. There was a small line, but Rudy's was organized and efficient working on a two man truck. They had great seafood options: Clam Chowder, lobster bisque, calamari, lobster bread roll, fish and chips, etc. The hubs and I both order the fish and chips. We substituted the chips for a lobster bisque. What I LOVED about the fish is the fact that they used Cod. It was a large chunk, moist, and flaked away at the touch of a fork. I couldn't really eat the batter but the fish was fried to a good crisp and had really good flavor. The lobster bisque was chunky and had a lobster claw in the middle. Delicious! Fish and chips are $13 and with the bisque substitute it came up to $15 each for our meal. A little pricey for a food truck, but the quality was there so we had no real qualms. I also appreciate the little personal touches they had. For example: 1. The fork, spoon, knives were on a contraption where you pressed the lever and one item would come out. I appreciate that because I don't want everyone and their mama reaching into a tub with their gross unwashed hand touching a utensil I could potentially be putting in my mouth. 2. General cleanliness around the food truck. They had a garbage for you available. A table for other condiments you could possibly use, and the napkins were filled. 3. They give you a hand wipe in your meal package. I'm not talking about that small dinky alcohol square that restaurants give you that only get your finger tips. They gave out legit towelettes!! Large ones that you can wipe your whole face with. It's like one step less than a real warm face towel. Pretty great Food Truck experience if I do say so myself! read more

I can't help myself every time I see this truck. I feel like a kid hearing the ring of the ice cream truck. I love their lobster roll at 20.00 I feel like it is a deal. The roll is packed full of large chunks of delicious lobster. I recently discovered their fish tacos they re amazing and prices nicely for convenience and quality. I think it was two very filing tacos for 9.00. The big problem for me is o want to get both so bring a Freind to split is the beat of both worlds. The staff are very friendly and patient. Thanks for showing up down town and doing the Elk Grove Western Festival. read more

This was one of our stops at the Sactomofo food truck event and it was fabulous. We started with the Lobi pop which is half a lobster tail on coleslaw with super thin shoestring fries for $10. A great deal. The lobster was perfectly cooked with a delicate sauce that allowed the lobster flavor to shine. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp and equally carefully dressed to compliment, not compete with the lobster. The fries were amazing: unbelievably thin and crispy and mixed well with all the other elements. A beautiful dish. We next tried the lobster bisque which was also perfect. A beautifully smooth soup base with tiny (and one huge) chunks of lobster. There was a swirl of cream on top and a light sprinkling of parsley. The flavors were fresh and the lobster taste was first and foremost. We loved it so much we took a quart home for tomorrow. GREAT FOOD TRUCK FARE. read more

Disappointed as I was really looking forward to the Rudy's Seafood Louie salad, yes pricey but really good. So first, not told they didn't carry any seafood but shrimp so really Shrimp Louie but not told when ordering and the price is $22, so when I received our to go order I was tdisappointed with what I saw. This is in no way a salad worth $22, so I went back and asked where is the rest of my salad, I was told it's all the seafood we have. So why are you selling a lobster roll if all you have is shrimp. Do Not waste your money, make your own salad and save yourself the frustration. See the the lousy salad, that I received and my husband was very generous with his tip Lettuce must be at a prime cost as well because it was missing and didn't even fill the tray. read more

"We encountered Rudy's Hideaway 'Cruzin Crustacean' food truck and decided to have seafood for lunch. The service was great (friendly staff) tasty food and I love the design on the food truck. I had the lobster roll. It was very flavorful with a soft roll, lots of sweet lobster, dressing, lettuce and a nice accompanying side of fried crispy potatoes chips and a pickle to boot. It was worth the price. We saw the truck in downtown Sacramento near some State offices around noon." read more

Rudy's Hideaway Truck - Tasty lobster roll - Food Trucks Near Me

Disappointing. Got the clam chowder bowl for lunch today because I had a cold and wanted something comforting. I was pretty disappointed in how little the cup of soup was for the price of $9. After further inspection, the chowder itself was too thick and clunky. It didn't have that nice creamy texture. It also was not hot. It was warm to the touch, not steamy like it just came out of the pot. I wouldn't order the clam chowder here again. A Campbell's soup of clam chowder would be better, sadly. read more

Drove past this place and the wife made me turn around. I am not big on seafood, but they had an awesome prime rib dip. Absolutely loved it! My wife got the street tacos and claim chowder. Very delicious! I can't wait to go back! The decor on the truck is pretty awesome too! read more

Let me tell you: first impression was that it was a little pricey. I know lobster isn't super cheap, but I come from New England where it's abundant so that's hard to get used to. I wanted to order the lobster roll but I have a policy for myself when at food truck events not to get any one giant thing for just myself, and the friend that I was with did not have enough of an appetite to justify the roll. Enter the Lobi-Pop (okay, not really impressed by that name. In my head I was saying Lobby Pop which makes me think of mops? I don't know.). I ordered. And then waited. And waited some more. And kept waiting. And noticed that people who ordered way later than me got their orders before mine... when I was about to say something, she called my name. Not only did she apologize for the wait, but she handed me a complimentary clam chowder. It's really valuable to recognize problems like this and immediately address them. So thank you kindly woman in the window for the free food! Onto the meal! The Lobi-Pop was a skewered lobster tail on top of tangy slaw with a heaping handful of freshly made potato chips. The lobster was covered in a yummy lemon aioli and had warm, clarified butter in a cup on the side. The lobster was SO PERFECTLY COOKED it's ridiculous. It was totally worth the wait. Only change I would make is putting the slaw separately. I love slaw and it was quite a pain in the butt to get to it. Overall, frickin' delicious. I'd definitely order it again, and make sure I have a snack to munch on while waiting. read more

The lobster roll is soo darn tasty. It's chuck full of substantial pieces of fresh lobster mixed in a light lemon mayo type dressing with a leaf of lettuce. The bread is toasted and hearty enough to hold all the lobster goodness. The roll came with kettle fried chips dusted in a deliciously addictive seasoning. Also in my to-go container, they packed a dill spear, lemon wedge, and large packaged handi wipe. But the downside is the sucker cost $18. That's right..."$18"!! Ouch. Also don't forget to grab a fork, which isn't packed for you. The roll is so packed with lobster meat that you want to make sure you savor all the morsels. Another cool thing is that they have a fork dispenser which dispenses one fork at a time, which is way more hygienic. Sorry...I didn't take a photo...too busy diving in and devouring. ;) read more

Lobster roll is a must try! So refreshing. The lobster meat seems like it was tossed in a lemony dressing and its acidity is just right. The dough is soft and the taste blended well with the lemony lobster meat. The roll is served with crispy thin slices of potato! Not greasy which is a plus! Yummy!!! read more

Rudy's Hideaway Truck - Lobster roll ftw! - Food Trucks Near Me

We ordered a lobster roll & calamari (spending almost $30). Both orders came with chips that are freshly made and pretty tasty. The chips had the right amount of crunch to it, plus it was seasoned... it wasn't salt but their own seasoning on it. The calamari was delicious and meaty, they gave a nice amount of pieces too. The calamari isn't an appetizer but more like its own meal because the pieces were so thick. Also we order a lobster roll and with many people raving about it, I had to give Rudys a try. The lobster meat were juicy, i think its was toss in a lemon like dressing, it made the lobster have a less of a fishy smell and taste. I don't mind the seafood taste, but I understand some people do. The lobster roll was a little hard to eat, the bread was sliced on the top of the roll instead of the traditional slicing on the side. I feel that when it was on the top, there was less room for lobster to be stuffed into your sandwich. The bread was soft and tasty. It was nice combination with the lobster. However, the lobster itself don't have much taste to it. I thought the lobster suppose to be mixed with mayo and seasoning. I been to places that put too much mayo and seasoning and been to places that made lobster rolls perfectly. This lobster roll was OK. I would give it another try since its in Sacramento area and other lobster roll places are not in town. I like that they put in wipes into your bag, so you can clean your hands after you eat. read more

I am a huge fan of the restaurant. Go there frequently. Love it. But the food truck was disappointing for me. I ordered the steak tacos and the calm chowder fries without the calm chowder. (I just wanted some fries.) The meat in the tacos was cold. (Which I would expect to be hot.) This also tells me it was cooked the night before, unless this is a new way of doing tacos. The calm chowder fries came with the calm chowder. Probably won't go back. read more

I was so impressed by the food and the staff today. I ordered the fish and chips and a fish taco. When I went to pay I was told they couldn't accept a card without a chip as they had no way to swipe them. I live right across the street from the event they were at so I had just grabbed my one card and left my purse at home. He said he could take Apple Pay but the card I had with me was not yet set up with it so I tried to set it up real quick. As I was in the phone with my carrier trying to verify it so I can make the purchase, he informed me not to worry about it and said it was on the house. A $20 bill on the house! I was so grateful for their kindness! Of course there was no way I was going to let them take the loss when I lived right across the street and had cash there so I ended up going back and paying them, but just the fact that they were so kind and generous really impressed me. And it doesn't hurt that the fish and chips was the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked fish that were absolutely huge, and waffle fries with the best seasoning ever. I am a little number that I forgot to grab some tartar sauce but it was good enough to eat without it! Thanks so much to the fellas at Rudy's Hideaway Truck, you guys made my day! read more

Ordered the crab balls. It came with home made potato chips. My order was nice and fresh when I received it. The chips were still crunchy and the balls were still hot when I bit into them. The balls are filled with a combination of crab and shrimp. I think the best part is the aioli dipping sauce. I think next time I'm going to order the lobster roll. read more

Whenever I'm craving a good clam chowder, this is my go-to place. It's waaaaaay better than... Yes I'm going to say it.... Boudins. Sorry, not sorry. The flavor is delicious. Super creamy and the little bits of bacon on the top garnish are a fun addition. I've also had the calamari which is almost too good to be true. Really big and tender pieces which is awesome. The only downside is that they are a little pricey for the amount you get. Especially on the clam chowder. It's all good though. I'll continue to splurge for some good seafood! read more

Got my hubby some calamari here last night from the food trucks in my neighborhood and it was good. Nice amount of pieces and it came with chips, pretty tasty read more

We had a birthday gathering with 98 people in attendance. Rudy's Hideaway Truck was a fantastic success. All my guests raved about the food. Christina and her crew kept the food flowing and no one went home hungry. They also helped with clean up. It made my party so relaxing for my husband and myself. Thanks Christina and crew. Until the next party. read more

I had the Cajun Shrimp Tacos. The shrimp was the best part because the rest of the flavors did not go well together. The tortilla was also served too cold. My least favorite part the sour crunchy flavorless strawberries. Also the cucumber garnish was just plain gross. Overall, ok and very pricey. read more

I ordered the Lobi-Pop. First, I didn't like paying $10 for the food because I felt like I didn't get very much food for the price. Second, I understand it takes time to cook the food but I really didn't like waiting over 15 minutes. All the other food trucks are able to get the food done really quick. Third, the bowl of condiments on a table in front of the food truck was disgusting. I think the bowl has been sitting in the heat for a long time and those condiment packets felt like something leaked all of them. Just gross. Finally, it really bugged me that people who paid after me we're getting there food before me. Come on!!! The food tasted fine but I will never go back. read more

lobster roll was really good. I like the fluffy toasted buttery bread they served it on. The $10.00 'shorty' was plenty satisfying, which is a good thing considering the whole lobster roll was priced at around $18.00. I would definitely buy another shorty, but would not want the tasteless coleslaw to go with it. I hope they will give us another options for a side besides the fries or the slaw... read more

Had eaten at the restaurant a few years back so we decided to give the food truck a try. Pricey to say the least. I get that lobster is expensive and justifiable but the appetizers being on average $12 was just too much for what you get. We got the calamari which were pieces of calamari steak sliced up and deep fried. Only about several pieces and the bottom was filled with chips to make it seem like there was a lot more. Also tried the lobster roll which was decent. I understand overhead and operation costs but when you are operating out of a food truck it shouldn't cost that much. read more

Great food. Jeremy and his crew are awesome. Couldn't ask for better customer service and food. Will see them again.

Hands down amazing!!!! Fresh is what it's about. had them for a big event and got rave reviews for the lobster roll. had it myself.....incredible!!! Erin who runs the truck is great and friendly, a definite for your next event! read more

While the food was good as expected the truck manager as she said was extremely rude. No intentions of buying again. Been going to the restaurant front for ages and never a single problem at all. Here's to a hopeful visit that the store hasn't obtained the attitude that the truck did. read more

I have visited this restaurant and was happy. The food truck on the other hand was TERRIBLE. I ate at this truck n 4/25/14. I ordered the clam chowder on a bread bowl, $8 and the fish and chips $10 and change. The chowder was actually very good, but I literaly got 4 spoon fulls, It was all bread. $8 for 4 teaspoons, never again.Then on the fish and chips, I was told the fish was fresh, but you could never tell. It was so over battered and fried too long. the fish was extremely dry and again the quantity, very small fish pieces, and I paid for mostly batter, with a bottled wqter my bill totaled 22$ and change. I total waste of money, I was so mad. I waited in line 45 min. and It was not even worth it. i threw the fish and chips away. I don't know if they were trying to make the food last, as all the other food trucks were running out of food. But I have not been this disappointed in 20 yrs or more. read more

Today I had a different experience from the other reviewers that claim to have gotten "substantial" pieces of lobster. I was given small pieces of end pieces of the claws (not tail meat or meaty part of a claw). It was tasty but not worth the $20. read more

We were happy with the food. But make sure you check on your vehicle every 5-10 minutes because Rudys has problems with on going vandalism. We were not too happy as not only our vehicle was broken into but also a Truck. And not to mention the one of the owners of Rudys tells us that it happens alot. You would think they would offer a complimentary drink or dessert to the customer that have had their vehicles broken into to. read more
