So delicious do not be fooled buy the looks food truck and the location the lobster rolls are always on point! I have had several with years in between and it's always a 10/10!!
The Lobster Hut is a food truck located on Boston Post Rd by Vavoline. We went on a Monday morning and they were busy with guests and it also appeared they had several phone orders. The lobster is market price and our order was $115 for two 2 lobster roll combos which included a good amount of crinkle fries and a small container of cole slaw. The lobster rolls were Connecticut-style served warm with butter. The roll was nicely toasted but a little too buttery for me. The lobster was flavorful. The fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. You order at the window and receive a pager to let you know when your order is ready. When we ordered we were advised there would be a wait, and there was. We waited at one of the picnic tables where we observed everyone enjoying their meals. When we picked up our order they apologized for the wait. The Lobster Hut is nothing fancy but well worth a visit for a good lobster roll at a reasonable price.
The people here are very friendly! The lobster rolls are fresh, flavorful and a good size. The food was all fresh and well prepared. I would likely stick to the lobster roll each time because it's the best thing. The onion rings seemed beer battered and delicious. The fries were also good. They keep a porta-potty for customers only and it was very clean and full of sanitizer and paper. We will be back for sure.
Awesome! Who knew shopping in Milford would lead us to this road-side food truck gem! Husband has been majorly craving a lobster roll since his favorite place was less than stellar the last time we went. Knowing this- Yelp helped me find this place so we stopped for a late lunch and so happy we did! Super friendly and helpful service and the most important part- amazingly delicious hot lobster roll.....Worth every penny! The roll was toasted and buttered and the lobster was tender buttery heaven in the middle of it. The lobster was plentiful and a variety of tail and claw meat. It also came with a side of clarified butter for extra dipping if you choose (I did of course- why not?). This really helped satisfy our craving for a lobster roll- it was a home run! The lobster rolls were our main reason for stopping here but there are also other menu options too. Definitely worth another visit when we are in the area for sure and I highly recommend!
Seemingly the most random spot on the road, TLH could be easily missed. However, it's worth a stop! I'm not sure how the cook so much in a tiny trailer, but the menu includes the good stuff: lobster roll, shrimp, fries... our of clams (hard this season). Good, pure lobster roll, though the bun was notably soggy, which was a disappointment. However, don't let that stop you!
Another great spot for a fresh hot lobster roll with butter. Filled with chunks of lobster meat. This is our second year coming. The bun is freshly buttered and toasted. Delish! Our daughter loves the hotdog with the onion rings. Might be coming back next year. Try it! Totally worth it.
They know how to make fried clams and lobster rolls taste so good! I recommend. Nice people too.
One more relevant point to add. There are a number of local restaurants who serve as good or better lobster rolls than The Lobster Hut for the same price, but you get to dine in an air conditioned room, and not have to listen to the at times very loud traffic going by only a few feet away. Since The Lobster Hut doesn't have the same costs to operate as a regular restaurant, why are their prices the same?
When Will Ferrell enters a hypnotic trance in a debate scene concerning the role of government in supporting biotechnology in the movie "Old School", his response was so good, that real life political consultant James Carville had to respond "We have no response. That was perfect." I'm kind of in that position after eating at the Lobster Hut in Milford. The Lobster Hut is what is it. A food trailer that makes seafood like lobster rolls and fried treats, gives you a beeper so you can kill some time, and hand-delivers your food when it's ready. You can dine at one of a few picnic tables or in your car, or you can take it to go. They advertise no frills and deliver no frills. I'm cool with that. My wife and I ordered a twin hot lobster roll platter that came with cole slaw, crinkle cut fries and melted butter for dipping, and a side of clam strips with tartar sauce. I've ordered some variation of this at many, many seafood places. And I almost always find something that doesn't quite measure up. I can't say that about The Lobster Hut. There was a lot of lobster. It was good quality and well cooked. The grilled roll was well managed. The roll already had some butter flavor, and the side of melted butter allowed for customization. The fries were well executed for the crinkle style. The cole slaw, where many good places drop the ball, had good classic cole slaw flavor and texture. The fried clam strips had good color and texture. And the last thing that trips up some seafood places, The Lobster Hut served its own house made tartar sauce rather than packaged Ken's or whatever. The tartar sauce had its own vibe (heavy on relish) and I liked that. I noticed some reviews commented about the cost of the lobster rolls. I get that. They're not cheap, but that's the case everywhere if you're going to a top spot. The Lobster Hut was certainly on par with the other top spots I've tried, which is most of the big CT places. So yeah. "We have no response. That was perfect." Five Stars
Lobster Hut is always fresh and delicious. I've had the lobster roll (5oz). They put the clarified butter on the side so your bread doesn't get soggy. I have had their fried shrimp, clam strips and fries. Everything is fresh and hot. I will continue to eat there while I'm living in this area.
I was a little suss given the location and parking lot. However, after reading the glowing reviews decided to give it a go. I am glad I did, the place did not disappoint. It's a quintessential New England buttery lobster roll. The fries were fresh, hot and salty (perfect IMO), the Cole slaw was great (not too saucy). The rolls come in 4oz or 5oz portions. It was $5 more for the 5oz ($5 for another ounce ). I went with the lobster roll plate, which I assume was a 4oz roll with fries and slaw for $30. Worth the price, meh. If there was a better view or ambiance, I could say yes. But it's a legit small food truck in a parking lot on a highway. If I was craving a quality lobster roll, would definitely go back.
Perhaps my expectations were set to high? I've had some excellent lobster rolls in Connecticut including in Milford restaurants and I've also had some pretty bad lobster rolls. If I'm being honest the lobster roll at the Lobster Hut falls somewhere in between. The lobster lacked flavor. It was completely bland and flavorless. The only thing I could taste was the grilled hot dog roll. I tried adding some more of the butter they provided on the side and that didn't really help. I ordered the platter so it came with French fries and cole slaw. While the cole slaw was good the French fries were your standard frozen Ore Ida crinkle cut fries. They also went a little heavy on the salt. The packaging of the To Go order was top notch. They packaged the fries in a vented cardboard container to minimize the sogginess factor. They wrapped the lobster roll separately. They also provided plenty of napkins, wet wipes and ketchup. Excellent work on packaging. If only the flavor was this good. Given the very high price of the tasteless lobster roll (borderline outrageous) I don't think I'll be going back.
I was in the New Haven, CT area and I decided to check out Lobster Hut. I'm sorry but I wasn't impressed with my EX LARGE LOBSTER ROLL that cost me $26.99. It took me three years of viewing and seeing people yelp photos and raves about this Lobster Hut truck. I also ordered beer battered onion rings $4.99 and they were banging, crunchy and the onions were juicy. The ex-large lobster roll was filled with lobster meat but it wasn't juicy, it was dry chunkiness and felt microwavable. It was Monday and most places you should never attempt on a Monday as your getting leftovers. I had a huge amount of lobster meat and I put it over salad. That meat sat on my chest as a result; . I felt awful and when I woke up for work @ 12:00 am where I usually get up for 1:50 am as my workday starts at 3:30 am. I felt so I felt this way until mid-morning. I feel better now but I know there was nothing else that made me feel this way because I saved my belly for this ex-large lobster roll. I believe my expectations were not met Listen I don't think that their awful as a food truck I just think I came on a Monday and Monday's aren't the best day for food trucks or restaurants, that's just my opinion. Until my next #YELP #FOODIE #ADVENTURE #4THELOVEOFFOOD.

Who would have thought that a food truck on the side of the road in a parking lot would have the best lobster rolls around, but they really do. And the crinkle cut fries were delicious. The owners were very nice and knew many of the customers by name. There are 3 picnic tables next to the truck to eat right there. read more

Stopped for a lobster roll treat and wasn't disappointed! The 5oz roll was wonderful and I loved the onion rings! The fries were a bit too soft and very salty for my taste, and sitting next to a main toad with cars wasn't the best, but it was a nice pit stop for lunch regardless! read more

Full transparency while we realize it's "The Lobster Hut", they do offer other items in their menu. In addition to the 4 oz. Lobster roll we ordered a fish sandwich, much was left to be desired . It's made to order so expect to wait for the fresh food. Lobster roll (not pictured) flavorful and happy we finally tried it. Fish sandwich total fail... I'm sorry for $14.99 (just the sandwich) this in person looks like two Gorton's frozen fish pieces on a hamburger roll with what looked to be relish or their house tartar not sure. Staff were attentive and nice considering the hot and humid day! read more
I just had the best lobster roll of my life. Picnic tables, a friendly staff, the cleanest porta potty I've ever visited! Just inland from Silver Sands Beach, made a lovely stop for our family plus wet sandy dog. Clean picnic tables on white stones made this a charming spot that had me forget we were sitting on a main road. Love the simple straight forward menu with no frills. read more
CT style Lobster rolls (meat served warm with drawn butter on a toasted hot dog roll) are fairly solid with the exception that it's limited to claw and knuckle parts of the lobster. Furthermore, the ends of the claw contain flavorless sections that should be not included but seem to make their way into most lobster rolls. These parts serve only for aesthetics or fillers (imo). It's a food truck with a few picnic tables alongside a busy road. Not the best scenery. Especially, being next to a automotive oil change business. Prices are reasonable for comparable lobster rolls. Maybe worth a visit should you be in the area. read more
First time trying The Lobster Hut and it definitely didn't disappoint. The lobster roll was hot and loaded with lobster meat. The bread was toasted and buttered just right. Highly recommend and would definitely come back. read more

Looking for a foodie adventure featuring the freshest lobster around? Look no further. All that can be found at the Lobster Hut. This place really surprised me. I had no idea a food truck could produce lobsters at the level of a fine Maine or Cape Cod seafood eatery but they do indeed do just that. For the skeptics..just give them a try. This place made my beautiful mom very happy as she was craving a good fresh lobster and we were told by a friend about Lobster Hut. She could not believe how tasty they were. So thanks Lobster Hut for the great eats! Five stars. Check them out! read more
Healthy portion size of lobster in each of your lobster rolls which taste fresh and buttery. Thoughtful packaging to allow you to apply your own clarified butter but not super eco friendly. Fries are crispy and plentiful. If you are going with a friend, order the twin lobster rolls and save a few dollars and get plenty of fries. Nice place to stop on a warm day like today and I will definitely be back. read more
