"RED HOOK LOBSTER POUND There's often a line at this food truck (they also go to Maryland and Virginia) but their super-fresh lobster rolls are worth the wait. Go either Connecticut-style (warm and buttery) or Maine-style (chilled with homemade lemon-based mayo) with a side of New England clam chowder or lobster mac n' cheese."

Tried Red Hook Lobster Truck today...for a food truck they’re really good; however the Connecticut lobster roll was just okay. It wasn’t awesome but it wasn’t bad either. I got the clam chowder but haven’t tried it yet. I’d definitely eat here again if I had a craving though

Very fresh and tasty lobster. The roll felt maybe a little too simple though.

LOVE the food!! I had been craving a Connecticut-style lobster role for some time, and I just happened to be returning to work from my lunch hour. Had to give into the craving, and it was well worth it. The lobster is delicious and the portion is comparable to the price, even a little less is but purchase the Lobster Box. I definitely recommend giving it a try. If you enjoy lobster rolls, you will not be disappointed.

Visited here to get a hot lobster roll and was not disappointed. My roll was delicious and fresh but I have to say I think it was over priced. Me and my husband got a roll apiece and a drink apiece and it was $44. I understand that its fresh seafood but that seemed extensive to me.

The Lobster rolls themselves were great, but it was not worth the almost hour wait we had to endure to obtain them. The line wasn't even that long, it seems only their efficiency in making the products need to be worked on. Give it a try if you find yourself walking around DC's Wharf when it's quiet, which isn't at all likely.

For both the lobster and bun, this would be the best lobster roll I've had compared to Luke's and Hank's, except I feel they're a complete scam. They mention nothing about it being served on a bed of shredded lettuce, so the bun is filled nearly to the top with lettuce, then just a few pieces of lobster on top hiding all the lettuce. I hate the taste of shredded lettuce, but it's also just a huge disappointment and rip-off. Wasn't served with pickle or lemon wedge either, and their hours are incorrect. They are not open 1130-9 on Friday. I stopped by at 2 trying to get lunch and they were closed. Tried again 7 and open with no wait... should have taken it as a sign.

The Connecticut Style Lobster roll was delish! Filled with flavor and lots of meat! Very filling! Great customer service! 5 stars for the experience!

Went to a food truck festival across the street from my hotel. Had no idea what was there or what the event was about. Stumbled across the best lobster roll I have ever had!!!!! The clam chowder was icing on the cake!
