I almost drove past this, as it's a food truck in a food truck parking area. The lobster roll was packed with fresh sweet lobster in a soft toasted roll with a lot of drawn butter. This is one of my top 3 places for lobster rolls depending on where I am (Boston is a place in Fanueil Hall, along the east coast north is the Lobster Pound, and now here north of Boston on 114). Service is excellent and fast! Parking is easy as is the off/on to Rte 114. read more

Absolutely amazing lobster roll! It was full to the brim and didn't have too much mayo which can be a problem at other places. The location is great and it's fun for a summer day. There are som shaded tables and a full restroom! read more

Lobster roll is delicious, their clam roll is like a small box of clams dumped on a roll. Their fried oysters are to die for and the crab roll is awesome too! read more

Went yesterday for my first time and it will not be my last! It was the best and freshest cold lobster roll I have ever eaten. The roll which I usually never eat was so good I ate the whole thing...the man tending the business was short on help but made it a wonderful experience. I ordered onion rings which lasted two days were delicious!! Nothing but full praise for this operation. Thank you! Laureen read more

I was excited to try this place. The area is cute with a variety of seating areas and fire pits. The staff in the truck was very nice but the food left a lot to be desired. Staff 4* Shrimp 3* were on the smaller side and a bit chewy Scallops 1* these were not good. I think they were actually bad as they tasted metallic Haddock 4* the haddock was excellent. I wish I had just ordered this. It was a nice large piece that flaked nicely and was very fresh. Tarter Sauce 4* Onion Rings 3.5* they had a nice flavor and were crispy. Some were over battered Fries 2* if they were cooked a little longer and crispy they would have been great. The seafood on top really made these mushy. If you like crispy fries asked for them to be put on the side and cooked longer. Overall I was disappointed with the food but it was mostly the scallop issue that pushed this to 2* read more

Quite possibly one of the best lobster rolls in all of New England! I prefer mine cold, and Salty's offers both. The cold roll is served in a toasted bun with shredded lettuce and scallions. It had just enough mayo and the lobster meat itself was to die for... literally melt in your mouth good! Our party split two orders each of the French fries and onions rings, and they were piping hot and so fresh. The onion rings were also probably the best I've ever had! The guys in the truck running the show are super friendly and efficient, too. Can't wait to go back! read more

Salty’s Lobster Shack - Cold lobster roll -- delicious! - Food Trucks Near Me - Middleton, Massachusetts

Absolutely zero complaints about Salty's Lobster Shack. I'd been wanting to try it for a few weeks and finally stopped in and was actually quite surprised to see several other food trucks and a nice picnic area set up. I had one goal in mind - Salty's lobster roll so I didn't try the other trucks but they appeared to be permanent and had a great variety of foods. Next visit! Salty's has a great menu. Plenty of seafood to choose from and the prices are more than fair. I ended up trying the lobster tater tots - so good! Tons of big pieces of lobster and really filling. Also got a stuffed quahog. Very interesting and huge (perhaps not for me but my dining partner loved it). And the star of the show, of course, was the lobster roll. It appeared small but really it's just a smaller roll and it's stuffed with lobster meat. I mean stuffed - like just tons of yummy lobster meat, including huge claws, with celery and mayo on a toasted roll. Drooling thinking about it. If you're into lobster rolls you simply must stop here and get one! read more

Huge chunks of fresh lobster meat and a perfectly toasted bun. Definitely the best lobster roll in the area.

Went back to Salty's and love the new setup with other trucks... now there is something for everyone! Yay! The food was killer yet again. $29 per roll July '21, which everyone will agree is a lot, but this is a wonderful roll and worth every bite. Lobster is in the expensive side right now. My friend and I got 1 cold and 1 hot, plus onion rings and lobster tots. The tots were fabulous and $16. The onion rings ($8) were great, but not special enough to order again. We couldn't eat it all and the tots were better. Still no beer, but we BYOB and nobody said anything. I just can't have a water with my lobster roll. Duh. read more

UM WOW. THE HYPE IS REAL PEOPLE. GET THE DAMN LOBSTER ROLL. I consider myself a total New England lobstah snob and have tried lobster rolls near and far. Salty, you had me at hello. The scallions, the fresh lobster meat, THE SIZE, the buttery roll, the vibes the chill music, the location, yes to all the feels. HEAVEN IS REAL. All the stars for you Salty. Take all my money. No frills, just some dudes doin their thang and whipping up some amazing fresh grub. Looked like a little man selling some merch, all for the family vibes. SUPPORT LOCAL. Ive seen some people bitchin about when they sell out, give me a break. Working in the industry I have nothing but the highest respect for this local joint. FYI : Selling out means they are doing something right, get in line like the rest of us. FRESH FRESH FRESH. I'm forever a fan, can't wait to be back. Bravo! read more

The lobster and cheese panini was so good! Personable and pleasant guys and owner of food truck.

Absolutely do not miss this place! This is such a cool spot! My fiancé and I lamented on how friendly the service was, and noticed how the staff greeted every single person and made them feel welcome. The ambiance is great, with a fire place, twinkle lights, and lobster shaped chairs. The lobster roll and fries were 10/10. They stay open until the end October and we'll certainly have to return before then! What a gem! read more

Great lobster rolls. Choice to toast the bun and the lobster was a great mixture and serving size. Will definitely come back. Location and ambiance is a cool concept with multiple food trucks. read more

I'm a repeat customer at Salty's On the Lot in Middleton. Their lobster rolls are consistently the best I've had.

Ate here yesterday afternoon, warm lobster roll was great, fries were very good. Service was very good. Given the weather the outside ambiance was quite nice. Well worth the stop on our way home from Maine. Would definitely go back in the future. read more

The fish here is always fresh. The lobster panini is a great way to sample the lobster bisque as well! The fish plates offer nice portions with a light batter that isn't heavily seasoned, it's actually kid friendly. The staff is friendly and the dining area is pretty clean. read more

Amazing atmosphere, great food, and very nice workers! I love Salty's! I got the fish tacos and they were perfect!

Wicked good. Worth every penny - and even the wife loved it. Find your way to this food truck.

I got a crab roll there today and was completely amazing. It was so filling yet not much batter where I could taste crab. I've been here on several occasions and every time the food has been delicious. If you haven't been, you're missing out! read more

All I can say it was worth the stop! It was perfect the guys were awesome friendly and so thankful and appreciative. Lots of outdoor seating with umbrellas really nice to hang out. We ordered the lobster tots loaded with lobster, bacon cheese and it was just perfect! We also had the lobster taco's omg the best real good taste great combination a little kick to it but not burning your mouth spicy it's perfect we will definitely be back for sure!!!!!! Thanks Guys keep it up!!!! read more

Heard about Saltys from a friend during a coffee hour, so a number of us headed over to pick up lobster rolls. Absolutely the best lobster rolls we've ever had anywhere in New England !!!!! I ordered their cold lobster roll Which came served in a perfectly toasted hotdog roll, with a mound (had to be 3/4 to a pound) of the sweetest, freshest chunks of lobster meat, with diced scallions, perfect seasoning, and a light touch of mayonnaise. We also ordered a side of their beer battered onion rings, which were also the best we've had anywhere! The onion rings were thick cut, perfectly breaded and seasoned, and fried to perfection and not at all greasy! Salty's is a HIDDEN DIAMOND & we'll be returning regularly! read more

This was our first Salty's visit and it was excellent! The lobster roll was HUGE, tons of lovely claw meat! The scallops were sweet and tender and the beer batter onion rings and potato wedges were so yummy! It was a neat day and we enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the football game on the screen right on the truck. The service was so friendly, the young man cleaning up and clearing tables checked in ask how our meal was. What great stop on a beautiful fall day! This is a perfect kid friendly and dog friendly location! read more

Wow!! What a find. A food truck on the 114 in Middleton right across from Richardsons I go there for a plate of French fries covered in lobster bisque, with lots of chunks of lobster. I love lobster, but this is unique read more

Super friendly staff! (They even brought my pup a fresh bowl of water). The lobster panini had large pieces of lobster meat and came with a small side of lobster bisque to dip in. The food tasted good. However, my only negative review is that the panini, as well as the lobster bisque had too much green onion. (I'm a fan of green onions, but this was a bit much). Sorry! But I do recommend the business. Creative setup too! read more

Amazingly delicious and loaded lobster roll on a toasted roll. We had cold rolls and split sun order of fries. The lobster was very sweet, tender and mixed with just enough mayo and scallions to complement and not overwhelm. Fries were great too, fresh and crispy. Would definitely stop again! read more

Lobster roll was ok, fried scallops were not. Small scallops and oil imparted a taste of not fresh. How can u sell fish and not provide fresh lemon? The food truck itself was a very impressive. read more

I love this place! Everyone is friendly and the food is amazing! We've gotten the lobster panini, lobster tots and lobster tacos and would totally recommend this to everyone who loves lobster. They have picnic tables with umbrellas, they have a port a potty with a sink area and some great music playing. They also have fun lobster chairs with tables that look like butter on top. It's a great addition to Middleton. read more

My favorite go to Food Truck at this wicked awesome outdoor dining space on 114 in Middleton. The guys are great and their truck is always shining. read more

This place is the real deal. The food is excellent, and as some other reviews have mentioned, the service is top notch. Everyone is very friendly and passionate about the food they serve. I had the opportunity to try their seafood chowder and it was the best chowder of my life. I wanted to bring some on my flight home for my family, but they were honest and upfront about how it may not survive the trip. Even though I live in another state, I feel like I have to fly into Boston, rent a car, and drive up to Middleton just to have the chowder again. Everyone who lives nearby should take advantage of the proximity and visit Salty's. read more

Very frustrating when a business has working hours posted, only to find it to be closed after driving over half an hour. I can't speak on the food itself but failing to update business hours is lazy and unprofessional read more

We arrived with a group of about 30 to celebrate Grampa's 88th Birthday. Unfortunately Salty's had run out of lobster and closed up for the weekend. The kind gentlemen cleaning up allowed us to stay and set up at their tables to spend some time with Grampa. While there one of the gentlemen brought out four lobster rolls, refused payment and made Grampa's day! And he loved them! Thanks so much, we'll be back! read more

So so good!! Cold lobster roll on brioche..the. Best!! Thanks. Plenty of fries, too The whole parking lot is user friendly, plenty of space, tables, and shade read more

You can't get much better than Salty's!! Outstanding food and service!! What a cool spot too.

Stumbled upon this gem today and was not disappointed!! This place is amazing and unique. A food truck, picnic tables with umbrellas, Wikid cool lobster Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. Atmosphere was great, casual chill with perfect summer island vibe music. It's clearly family owned, there were a couple women keeping things tidy and some younger kids doing bus boy type jobs. The guys working the truck were super friendly. Their card machine was down and they felt so bad, but it's not an issue there is an atm across the street and it is worth it to get the cash for this place!! Loved that they have the option for the lobster roll to be cold or hot, I'm a cold lobster fan so I was pumped for that. The thing was HUGE packed with tons of lobster and absolutely delicious!! My husband got the lobster panini and loved it. Kids meals are priced right and still a large portion of food. Onion rings were 10/10. Didn't get any pics of the food because we gobbled it up so fast. Only thing missing was a nice cold beer, would be cool if they could get licensed or even allow BYOB like some places do. But for now a Diet Coke did the trick! Honestly the entire experience was enjoyable. You're supporting a local business and eating absolutely delicious lobster, what else could you want?! We will definitely be back!! read more

Living in a city right on the ocean (Salem), I was thinking; "Why would I bother heading inland to get a Lobster Roll?" Really? Right? But Salty's is totally worth it. The lobster roll is probably the best I've ever had that wasn't homemade or purchased much further up the coast into places like Stonington, or Deer Isle, Maine. HUGE chucks of fresh tasty lobster meat, not too much mayo filler. Just fantastic! read more

We live this lobstah truck!!! It got us through the height of Covid last summer. And we returned again, last week! Yes, the price of lobster has gone up, but there's is well packed and yummy I'm ordering for two separate parties I have coming up Definitely a great place to hang out with family and friends read more
