I cannot say enough good things about this food truck and the wonderful people that run it! Owners are sweet, kind and caring. I had the lobster roll and clam strip roll. My boyfriend had the spicy fries and fried pickles (he’s vegan). The lobster roll was out of this world! So delicious, warm and buttery! I was amazed at how much lobster meat they included! Clam strip roll was pretty delicious and the sides my boyfriend ordered were so yummy! Cannot wait to try the lobster grilled cheese next time. Thank you Lobster Tales for a wonderful experience! Do yourself a favor and try them out! You won’t regret it!UPDATE: I tried the Lobster Grilled Cheese and wow! Wow, wow, wow! What a blessing for my taste buds! They are geniuses! Years and plenty of trips later, I stand true to my word! The food is incredible, the staff is kind and it’s an experience you won’t forget!! You’re probably thinking, it’s just a food truck, it’s not a big deal. It IS a big deal! Not only are you blessed with delicious lobster rolls that are overflowing with lobster meat along with delicious sides and yummy soda, you are also met with the kindest owners and staff who treat you like family and like one of their own! I even had a chance to talk to the owner because she decided to take time out of her day to approach me and thank me for the kind words that I had mentioned as I grabbed my food. How often do you get that?? I am and will forever be a Lobster Tales food truck fan and have been telling everyone I know about them! They truly are too good to be true! I’m just so grateful to have experienced their kindness and enjoyed their ridiculously delicious food! They are worth the drive! Please try them out! ❤️ ❤️Btw, I have driven across state lines and have taken long trips JUST to enjoy their food. They are THAT good! You won’t regret it! Dietary restrictions: When we first tried them out, my boyfriend was vegan and they were super accommodating all while serving the most delicious and fresh food for him! He was beyond pleased! They are amazing!

Been here many times before. Tried to go today and arrived before closing which the window was still opened. The girl at the register was still sitting there and just said we were just about to close. Just about to close is not closed. Left a bad taste in our mouths especially being repeat customers. The best time to go there if the owners are there. The other employees don’t seem to care to help the customers. Will have to think about going back. This was a huge turn off!

I got the lobster bisque. So good and there was so much lobster in it. Great value for what I got and so tasty.

Lobster Tales was at the Manchester Bicentennial, and it was the shortest line between pizza (which had an hour wait) and a meat bowl place. The short line led me to some of the biggest portions I've seen in a food truck. The lobster roll (the normal size one - I can't even imagine their "large" sized one) had large chunks of lobster on that buttery bread. Why can't bread at home taste this good? I ordered the long dog expecting to still be hungry after the lobster roll, but boy was I wrong. I mean, I still ate the hot dog, but not all the bread. The cinnamon sugar donuts were a great cap to an epic meal. If you find Lobster Tales at your local event, it's a safe bet!

Beyond excellent. Will literally follow them and watch for when they are in the area. They are THAT good. Best I’ve ever had.

Well visited the website which said they were open and drove a long way to get there for one of the famous lobster rolls but no lobster truck. Please keep your info current. My weekends are precious and I hate wasting a day.

I attended the social at South Farms on Thursday, 6/15, and ordered shrimp and lobster tots along with a clam strip roll. They took my phone number and said they would call when my order was ready. An hour later I got the call; I was literally waiting outside the pick up window and actually watched the woman dialing the phone. I took the food to my sitting area (2 minutes from the food truck) and the tots were lukewarm and the clam strips were overcooked, cold and looked like the little crumbs and bits you would find at the bottom of a bag. IT WAS HORRIBLE! Fortunately, the atmosphere at the social at South Farms was so awesome that it overcame my incredible disappointment with the food from the Lobster Tales Food Truck.
Here's the truck. Can't say what the food is like because we're still waiting, 45 minutes after ordering. They just said it'd be another 10. That's ridiculous for a lobster roll, hot dog and some fries

Amazing lobster roll and excellent donuts ? ?

Enjoyed the shrimp and lobster loaded tots at Brignole vineyard. The staff is so friendly and I’m always served so much food. The food is always fresh and taste amazing!

Very personable owner. Lobster roll and lobster poutine were delicious! Quick to get the food out also.

It's rare that I like food when I expect it to be one way, and it's completely different. But I didn't just like Lobster Tails Food Truck's Hot Spicy Shrimp Roll, I loved it. This was my first visit to Lobster Tail's at GastroPark or anywhere else. I assumed the shrimp roll would have fried shrimp, like the shrimp version of a fried clam roll. I assumed the spice would come from an aioli. Not even close. The warm natural shrimp, had the texture of lobster that you would find in a very good CT Style Lobster Roll. Wasn't fried at all. I don't know how they got there. Maybe they poached it? (if you made me guess). It wasn't super spicy. Just a bit seasoned. The roll was jam-packed with shrimp and the long roll was perfectly grilled. You could totally go with a Hot Lobster Roll, but the shrimp roll was just as good as many hot lobster rolls I've had, and it was about $7 less expensive. I made it a platter, which means you pay a bit more for fries. I upgraded to Old Bay seasoned fries. The fries were square-cut thicker than must places, but not as big as something like steak fries. They were good, but I prefer them a bit crispier. If you prefer a less crisp fry, this may be your style. The Old Bay Seasoning was a nice touch. Service was friendly and my order was ready on time. I'll definitely try Lobster Tails again. 4.5 Stars.
