Clam chowder fries! My boyfriend said, "that doesn't even sound good," but what does he know?!! He knows nothing about those bomb-ass waffle fries, smothered with thick and creamy clam chowder, sprinkled with real bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions. He knows nothing! Rudy's was at the UCD Med Center/Shriner's weekly Friday food truck lunch roundup, along with a Azteca and Drewski's. After looking at everyone's menu, the clam chowder caught my eye, and the "clam chowder fries" sealed the deal. I really wanted to get their lobster roll, since it's, ya know, from Rudy's Lobster Hideaway, but damn if I'm going to spend $20 on lunch, without any waiter service! I was completely satisfied with my $9 chowder fries. My food was ready within minutes after ordering. Trust someone that knows. Clam. Chowder. Fries. read more

Rudy's on the Roll - Clam chowder fries $9- bomb!!! - Food Trucks Near Me

I ordered the lobster roll. A quarter pound of hefty chunks of Maine lobster tossed in light butter and lemon aioli sauce with diced celery served on leaf lettuce in a soft split roll. Absolutely no mayonnaise is used. It's served with waffle fries, lemon wedge, and a dill spear. The lobster was delicious, sweet Maine lobster served chilled. Yum! The bread was tasty and of good quality. But it wasn't grilled. I recall the last time I ordered this, the roll was grilled a bit, which I prefer. Anyway, the roll was still delicious. Don't forget to grab a fork from the condiment table. It will come in handy. The sandwich was stuffed, so I had to eat some of the the lobster with a fork before lifting it to eat it with my hands. The roll ain't cheap. It's $20. Yikes. It's the most pricey thing on the menu. They had $6 clam chowder, and the rest of the menu items run around $12...filet mignon tacos or nachos, lobster mac n cheese, fried calamari n fries, fish n chips, and lobster skewer n fries. read more

The clam chowder fries are amazing. The cheese and the bacon make a little too heavy/greasy for me to be eating all the time. But they are to die for! read more

Love their fish tacos! I visited this food truck when they were in downtown during lunch hour on 5th and R. It was my first time here and I decided to try their special of the day which were fish tacos. The tacos definitely hit the spot for me that afternoon! For $12, my tacos were stuffed with huge Alaska cod fish along with lettuce, onions and their house special sauce drizzled on top. This food truck serves mainly seafood such as calamari, crab and shrimp balls to even lobster rolls! I did see another customer order their calamari which looked absolutely delicious! Will definitely have to try it out the next time they're around! This food truck definitely deserves 4 stars, but for the price of $12 for only two tacos and no sides (not even chips or fries!), it calls for a 1 star deduction! read more

It saddens me to write this low star review because I had High hopes! The fam and I attended the SactoMoFo event at Garcia Park this past Friday. Our goal was to try a number of trucks and a number of dishes. I really really wanted to try Cruzin Crustesean! Major sea lover fan. At 1st I was confused because the truck detailed Rudy's Hideaway all over it but the sign looked like the one I saw on yelp. I finally realized the truck was one in the same, the small Cruzin sign is on the very front of the truck. Menu board detailed chowder, crab balls, fish n chips, calamari, lobster roll, lobster slider and lobi pop. We decided on calamari and lobi pop (only for me). I was informed 5/6 minutes for the pop. Side note: Pricey!!!!!! Each item in board is priced without tax but once tax is added it evens out the price. Example: $7.11 for calamari, total price with tax $8.00. Calamari came out 1st looking good but just kind of bland! And they are really cutting corners offering actual homemade bland kettle chips instead of actual chips aka fries with all their fried dishes. No one wants fish and kettle chips???!! Finally after 15 minutes or so my Lobi Pop came out! So this dish is a grilled lobster tail, resting on coleslaw and topped with fried onions! Sounds like my kind of dish! Well I don't remember the board saying half the tail? You can get these small tails for $5 in the store so I assumed (and we all know what happens when one assumes...) it would be the whole thing. Anywho I dove in. Coleslaw was boring, made with vinegar and no mayo. It was clearly just a filler not meant for eating. Lobster tail half was covered in a tasty sauce, and I killed it. It was wonderful! But honestly I felt like I was robbed. $10 bucks....half a tail, inedible slaw, those onions also no need. Overall no Thanks! Over priced, cutting corners, and unseasoned food....at least I tried it. Won't be back! Cheers! read more

The food and service from this food truck is great! It's a bit pricy though. So far, I've had the following... Lobster Slider: It was delicious! When I saw the size of the slider, I thought it was a bit small, but it was just enough to eat with the side of house chips. The house chips was seasoned well, but it was a mishmash of crispy and soggy chips. For 10 bucks, there better not be any soggy chips with the slider. Lobster Roll: It was fabulous! For $18, it was a worthwhile indulgence because they are not skimpy on the Maine lobster meat, and it was cooked perfectly. The lobster meat and diced celery were tossed in drawn butter served with lemon aioli and leafy lettuce in a toasty roll. The house chips that came with the order were also crispy. There wasn't a soggy chip in my order because I expressed my last experience. I'm definitely a fan, but it won't be often that I'll enjoy their food because I won't have a rainy day fund if I indulge on a regular basis with their prices. This will be a special treat once in a while. PS: Tax is included in the prices I mentioned. read more

They were in woodland last Wednesday, 6/30 and I ordered a $29 lobster roll and I got a folded toast and a handful of lobster and a bag of chips! I could've just made it myself better. Not recommended read more

Rudy's on the Roll was at the Tahoe Park Spook-Tacular. I ordered the fish & chips (three pieces of hand dipped, beer battered golden fried Cod. Served with French fries, tartar sauce & fresh lemon). The food was fresh and delicious! The staff was friendly as well. I will definitely be going back. read more

The truck is TALL. The window is really, really tall. LOL! So, I must always go with someone tall so they can get the food for me. I find it very difficult to order anything else other than the lobster roll. I've tried. I've been in line, ready to try something new. I get to the window and the words "Lobster roll, please." comes out. I can't take the pressure! The lobster roll is just killer delicious! I will finish it all, I don't care if I feel like exploding. You get chunks of lobster. I mean CHUNKS. I had claw meat the size of my palm! The roll is definitely large enough to share (but why...) Calamari is an absolute winner! Thick strips. One order will keep you full. I'll try to order the Lobi-Pop next time, but I can't guarantee that's what I'll say. Side note: Rudy's Hideaway is fantastic, too. If you can't catch Cruizin' Crustacean, head to the restaurant. read more

I had the lobster roll. It was ok. I'm not big on lobster to begin with. I keep trying to like it and I just don't. That being said, their lobster was decent. Which means a lot coming from someone who doesn't like lobster. The chips though, those were hella good!! For me it wasn't worth the $20 price tag. They do have other things I'd like to try. read more

This is the food truck for Rudy's Hideaway out of Rancho Cordova. I've never been to the restaurant, but my wife has and he mother used to go all the time while my wife was growing up. I've only been in Sacramento for 5 years so I'm still learning about the different restaurants. One thing I discovered was the Sacramento Mobile Food truck organization, known as Sactomofo. I've been to a few of thier events, the last 2 being here in Natomas and the Cruizin'Crustacean has been here. It's a new food truck, but what you get when you mix a new food truck with a well established and seemingly delicious restaurant is an instant classic and a total home run. You start with this fun looking truck, followed by your mouth beginning to water as you are looking at the menu. The classic fish and chips, the Calimari (so tender its like biting into a cloud), lobster bisque or clan chowder, whichever you prefer, and you can't forget the lobipops or the crab balls (I haven't tried the crab balls, but I'm expecting crab cakes in ball form) and then there is the grand daddy of them all, the amazing lobster roll. You drooling? You haven't even ordered yet. You were just reading the menu. Now you get to step up to order and meet (I swear to god) nicest food service, possibly customer service in general, employee that I've ever met anywhere in the form of Erin. After she takes your order, you'll think to yourself, "She was really nice. I hope my food is as good as the service." and then you get your food. My recommendation is you order everything, but if that's a tad gluttonous for you then start with the full lobster roll and order other things the next time. The full lobster roll is so filling and delicious. The sweet Maine lobster, drawn butter, and the aioli they use is awesome. I ended up needing a fork, because the lobster was so full it was falling out of the roll in heaping portions at a time and I'm well aware that that's not exactly a problem. Make sure you get one of their tasty deserts and a box of tissues if you know you're not going to be able to eat there daily. This place is a 10 out of 5 stars and I can't wait to eat there again. Enjoy everyone! read more

You have to give this truck a try the very next time you see it! So far I have had the lobster bisque in a bread bowl and the lobster sandwich. Both amazing. The lobster sandwich comes with homemade chips. read more

First I ordered clam chowder....it tasted like flour paste with no clams....lobster roll....no celery...no butter ....no lemon...no aioli....no flavor a really sad waste of money...it was so looking forward to a really good roll. I'm in my 40's and the hideaway was always a special place as a kid. Disappointed. It was the end of the night and they may have been running low...that's no excuse. read more

Ordered the crab balls (hehehe) which came with fried potato chips. The balls (hehehe) and the sauce were actually quite delicious. The chips were just okay. Overall, their food seems a bit too pricey for my taste though. read more

Was very excited to see that this food truck was posted outside of my workplace. I ordered their lobster roll and crab balls. The lobster roll was on point!!! Roll is toasted with light butter, while their lobster is mixed in with mayo (very light) and some diced up onions and celery, which does not take over the succulent fresh tasting lobster. It was so good, I literally finished it in 5 minutes, and it was a decent size. Order comes with a side of potato chips and a pickle. As for the crab balls, it was just as good, very creamy and spicy on the inside, while the outside was very crunchy and light. $16 for a lobster roll might sound a lot, but it was definitely worth every penny! read more

Rudy's on the Roll - Half of a lobster roll that I split with a coworker and half order of the crab balls (1 order comes with 4) - Food Trucks Near Me

Cruzin crab balls were ok, not a generous amount for the price, but rather more chips underneath. But, the crab roll was delicious! One of the best I have ever had. The customer service was excellent, and they had my food ready in a reasonable amount of time. Unfortunately when I opened the wet napkin it seemed to have some mildew or mold on it so that turned me off. Maybe the heat just got to it. read more

I love food trucks and Rudy's was one of the best I've eaten at. Fresh seafood and great filet tacos. I'll definitely be tracking and following them to their next stop. read more

Me and my wife have been going to Rudy's for many years now (always a great meal) and have also gotten numerous stuff off their truck when they come to our area as part of SACTOMOFO over the last few years. It had been a couple of months since I had anything from Rudy's on the Roll but I was VERY disappointed this time. The roll wasn't even half full of lobster and now they give you just a plain old bag of salt and vinegar chips instead of some homemade chips aka fries. Salt and vinegar chips are a niche market...at least give people a choice because I'm one of those that can't stand them. They still charge $20.00 but you get less lobster and just plain old niche chips in a bag. All in all, it was probably about $7.00 their cost for the meal they charged $20.00 for. Never again until they get their "stuff" together. read more

Just watched them drive off an event that is open until 9:00pm at 7:42pm. If they commit to an event they need to stay until it ends.

We recently visited this food truck. We got the lobster roll, fish and "chips" and the calamari - total $39! Pricey food - friendly service though. My husband enjoyed his fish. The pieces were big and crispy. He was kind of disappointed that the chips were not fries (their menu says natural cut fries) but they were like homemade potato chips. The calamari was okay but kind of bland in my opinion, although it did come with a somewhat spicy cocktail sauce which was good. There was a large portion and the chips came with that too. I was really excited to try the lobster roll, but found it to be just okay. It was big with a lot of lobster but was really soggy and came with the chips which in turn became soggy. Don't think I would pay for that again. We had lots of chips left over. read more

I had high hopes but was underwhelmed. The lobster roll was decent not amazing and overpriced. The calamari was good and more fairly priced. Service was friendly but overall food was just okay. Overall its an overpriced meh. read more

So I tried that Lobster Roll and honestly, it wasn't what I was expecting. It tasted good but it was like 75% bread and had a tad too much mayo. I think they toasted the roll because it was slightly crunchy but I'm not sure. The 'chips' that came with it were mostly chewy and had no flavor at all. If they dropped the price by 5 or 6 bucks than it might be worth it. read more

Visited this truck at Food Truck Mania this past weekend in Vacaville. Very disappointing! This was the tiniest lobster roll I've ever seen in my life and it didn't taste good, either! The bread was very dry and not toasted, I didn't taste any butter and they gave you 5 potato chips all for $20. Never again! And by the way, Rudy's, please make sure your employees put on new gloves after they exit the truck to restock supplies and condiments. That's disgusting! read more

The calamari was over cooked to a darker brown color. It was ok but I've had better for being $12. Overpriced. read more

Got the lobster roll for $18. I can only compare it to the one lobster roll I had before in NYC a few years ago. It tasted OK, but for the price I would have a liked a little more lobster. The lobster was lacking the natural sweet flavor I was hoping for. read more

Ordered the tangy shrimp tacos and they were absolutely disgusting. It tasted like bleachy soap. I'm a little upset I paid eleven dollars and they were gross. Even the cucumber onion side had the same taste.If I had the time I would have went back and complained but I didn't. So I paid for lunch I didn't eat.:( read more

I've had lobster rolls, we've all had lobster rolls. Big deal. So I wasn't expecting The Best Lobstah Roll Ever!!! OMGosh, it was huge. With huge whole claw pieces, and a lot of 'em. The addition of the celery/onion slaw on the bottom of the perfect-consistency roll was just right. This lobster roll tasted like fresh lobster. Seriously. The best $20 I've ever spent on food - hooray for Rudy on the Roll Food Truck, and I'm so glad you were at Cameron Park/McAuliffe Park tonight!!! (PS the waffle fries were perfect as well. Incredible. Everything on that plate was GREAT.) read more

Purchased the lobster roll which I thought was supposed to come with fries.... it didn't. Instead, it came with a bag of vinegar chips which I don't even like, definitely not worth the $20. The roll was not bad, a decent amount of lobster but not too flavorful, all in all disappointed. Heard the clam chowder fries were pretty good, might try that later if I go back to this truck. read more

I had the pleasure of discovering this food truck last friday in rancho! What delight...awesome bisque and lobster roll with LOTS of lobster! Can wait to go back on Tuesday!!!! read more

Ate off the food truck while my spouse was in the hospital. The people are very friendly however the food wasn't very hot and also it was in need of some seasoning. If some seasonings were added it would be really good!! At least the seafood seemed very fresh!! read more

Im a fan of the lobster bisque. It was perfectly creamy for a chilly Elk Grove evening. Can't wait till next month to try more from their menu. read more

OMG - Met the Cruzin Crustacean Truck folks at Woodland's FoodTruckMania last Sunday. Ordered the Crab and Shrimp Balls with red pepper aoli sauce. SO good! Lightly fried in panko crumbs so easy to bite right into. Smooth and creamy on the inside, with just enough crab and shrimp bits to keep me happy. My friend had the lobster slider and loved it as well (although her 3 yr old grabbed all the bacon out of it before she could enjoy that! Next time I'm trying the calamari (PLUS the crab/shrimp balls again!) read more

Eagerly ordered the lobster roll. So DISAPPOINTED! The lobster was overcooked-tough/chewy and way too salty. For a $20.00 meal...definately not worth it. From the previous reviews hoping it was just an "off" day.... if not, this meal should be priced somewhere around $6.00 read more

I had the lobster roll and it was delicious. Their homemade potato chips are pretty stellar. My only complaint is the price. I would have liked to pay no more than 10-12 bucks for lunch but it's 17 for the lobster roll. I didn't enjoy it enough to go back again for 17 dollars a person. But the quality is there. read more

New to Yelp. Went to this place with a few friends for lunch last week, food was pretty OK. Will be back.

They have the best food! I love there lobster rolls! Deffrently recommend it. The service was great. The employees we're very nice!

My lobster roll had about half the lobster a normal one elsewhere would have, and what it did have was a bit dry and crumbled. Kind of a rip off. They compensated with a lot of good crispy chips-- but those don't really make up for it! read more

Lobster roll was delicious, however, i have nothing to compare it too as this was my first lobster roll ever. The price was outrages though. $20 is just way to high. I am glad i tried it but will not get again read more
