Joel’s Lobster Rolls

Expensive but so worth it. So so so delicious. I also love that I can add their creamy lobster bisque on top of my buttery, flavorful lobster roll. You get a lot of bang for your buck. Come back soon, Joel! We miss you!

WOW. All I can say. Joel's is a food truck that goes to different locations around city. They serve hot lobster rolls and you can decide to add a drizzle of bisque. The drizzle is what really took it over the top for me. The lobster was tender, bisque was flavorful, and the bread was soft and buttery. They are closing for a year so definitely check it out before August 10th.

I love a food truck, and Joel's did not disappoint. It was surprised to see a lobster roll truck here in New Orleans. I have them multiple times when I visit up north. So I'm not going to lie I didn't have high hopes at first. When I ordered and revived my roll I was pleasantly surprised!! The lobster roll was great, buttery roll and buttery tender pieces of lobster! They have stuffed the roll to the rim with lobster. Will definitely be going back!!

I've been very excited to try this food truck but I also have a very specific palette for lobster rolls being from the northeast. I love when they're drowning in butter in the bread which this place doesn't do, and is the reason I gave them 4 out of 5 stars. The lobster roll was good with big chunks of lobster meat, and I'm sure it's a 10/10 for a lot of people probably most people, but I can't say it completely hit the mark for me. I still enjoyed it but I would say their New England clam chowder was the star. I enjoyed the food but I probably won't hunt them down again. The service was very warm and friendly and I always have to give a shout out to those working in a food truck in New Orleans in the summer, thank you! I love Miel's Brewery alcohol free strawberry lemonade slushee so that was a bonus for me on the food truck location.

WHEW. Where do I start with the little New England gem right in the middle of Louisiana! When my family and I first travelled to Cape Cod in 2019, I fell in love with Lobster Rolls. But even as great as seafood in Maryland is, nothing hits like a true New England Lobster Roll. So, when I came across Joel's through some Yelp reviews, I had to give it a try. I went to the food truck on Sunday, at its typical location on Saint Charles right across from Tulane at Audubon Park. It's important to note that you should check their Instagram page for their location and hours as they move. The staff was super friendly, and even as a cook to order establishment, my wait time was very reasonable. In terms of atmosphere, I chose to eat on site at a park bench in the park which proved to be a smart move given how pleased I was with my meal! The roll was OUTSTANDING. They do not hold back on the crab meat and the lobster bisque sauce was the topping I didn't know I needed. It was so good, I went back to order another and crushed it waiting for my Uber back to my hotel. The next time I'm in Nola, I will definitely be back!

I am glad I tried it but it is so very expensive. At $26 you get a small roll, about the size of a cell phone, with flavorful, buttered lobster. I know the ingredients are expensive and to ship them from the North adds to the cost, but it is just too pricy for the amount of food you get. thee roll, too, was the star was me. Not that I did not like the whole thing, but that bread though! It was a like a canes texas toast that was hugging my lobster pieces and I wanted more! Maybe Joel can sell just his bread rolls? 4 for $26? I'd even do 3 for $26! Those rolls are damn worth it! I tried the chowder too and it was good. I liked that it had lots of real bacon pieces. I tried plenty of lobster rolls and chowder up in Boston and his lobster roll is pretty much on par if not better. I did have better chowder, but again, this chowder is good. Maybe I will go back if Joel has a Bogo deal or a black friday deal. I do appreciate that he ventures all over, not just one spot, and he has the friendliest northern accent and smile.

I finally made it to a Pop up at Boucherie. It was from 3pm to 10pm so I arrived at 9:30 and there wasn't a line. Full disclosure this was my 1st somewhat official lobster roll. It was packed full of lobster bits on a toasted roll and drizzled with a butter sauce. The regular roll is $23 total of $26 w tax $29 w tip and $2 for clam chowder on top $7 for extra lobster. It was simple and to the point.I know I'm probably in the minority but Unfortunately it was underwhelming. My New Orleans taste buds weren't impressed. Outside of The buttery toasted bun there wasn't much flavor. Definitely could've used a hint of crawfish boil or old bay with a hint of lemon or any seasoning but the chopped up lobster bits were tender. I'm glad I had the opportunity to experience the lobster roll and have checked that item off my culinary list.

Love the rolls here!!! They always taste super fresh and the staff is very friendly. I wish they had a brick & mortar spot!

My friend spotted this high demand food truck setting up on Oak Street last Saturday and so we paced around until they opened for the day. And oh yum!This truck is really popular so we felt lucky to have gotten there early. I had the mini roll with ettouffe. The mini was plenty enough food for me and it was delicious. The bread was a standout, soft and perfect complement to the seafood.Definitely will try again if I find them out and about.

I have tryed it finley was very good to bad he is closeing soon They were very bad sy I for got to take a picture
