Rudy's on the Roll

Clam chowder fries! My boyfriend said, "that doesn't even sound good," but what does he know?!! He knows nothing about those bomb-ass waffle fries, smothered with thick and creamy clam chowder, sprinkled with real bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions. He knows nothing!Rudy's was at the UCD Med Center/Shriner's weekly Friday food truck lunch roundup, along with a Azteca and Drewski's. After looking at everyone's menu, the clam chowder caught my eye, and the "clam chowder fries" sealed the deal. I really wanted to get their lobster roll, since it's, ya know, from Rudy's Lobster Hideaway, but damn if I'm going to spend $20 on lunch, without any waiter service! I was completely satisfied with my $9 chowder fries. My food was ready within minutes after ordering. Trust someone that knows. Clam. Chowder. Fries.

I ordered the lobster roll. A quarter pound of hefty chunks of Maine lobster tossed in light butter and lemon aioli sauce with diced celery served on leaf lettuce in a soft split roll. Absolutely no mayonnaise is used. It's served with waffle fries, lemon wedge, and a dill spear. The lobster was delicious, sweet Maine lobster served chilled. Yum! The bread was tasty and of good quality. But it wasn't grilled. I recall the last time I ordered this, the roll was grilled a bit, which I prefer. Anyway, the roll was still delicious. Don't forget to grab a fork from the condiment table. It will come in handy. The sandwich was stuffed, so I had to eat some of the the lobster with a fork before lifting it to eat it with my hands. The roll ain't cheap. It's $20. Yikes. It's the most pricey thing on the menu. They had $6 clam chowder, and the rest of the menu items run around $12...filet mignon tacos or nachos, lobster mac n cheese, fried calamari n fries, fish n chips, and lobster skewer n fries.

The clam chowder fries are amazing. The cheese and the bacon make a little too heavy/greasy for me to be eating all the time. But they are to die for!

They were in woodland last Wednesday, 6/30 and I ordered a $29 lobster roll and I got a folded toast and a handful of lobster and a bag of chips! I could've just made it myself better. Not recommended

Love their fish tacos!I visited this food truck when they were in downtown during lunch hour on 5th and R. It was my first time here and I decided to try their special of the day which were fish tacos. The tacos definitely hit the spot for me that afternoon! For $12, my tacos were stuffed with huge Alaska cod fish along with lettuce, onions and their house special sauce drizzled on top. This food truck serves mainly seafood such as calamari, crab and shrimp balls to even lobster rolls! I did see another customer order their calamari which looked absolutely delicious! Will definitely have to try it out the next time they're around!This food truck definitely deserves 4 stars, but for the price of $12 for only two tacos and no sides (not even chips or fries!), it calls for a 1 star deduction!

We saw them at the Festival here in Elk Grove this last weekend, and my husband decided he wanted to try some tacos. The people working were really friendly and the tacos were delicious!! The meat was moist and they were so full of flavor and fresh. Couldn't ask for more!!

It saddens me to write this low star review because I had High hopes! The fam and I attended the SactoMoFo event at Garcia Park this past Friday. Our goal was to try a number of trucks and a number of dishes. I really really wanted to try Cruzin Crustesean! Major sea lover fan. At 1st I was confused because the truck detailed Rudy's Hideaway all over it but the sign looked like the one I saw on yelp. I finally realized the truck was one in the same, the small Cruzin sign is on the very front of the truck.Menu board detailed chowder, crab balls, fish n chips, calamari, lobster roll, lobster slider and lobi pop. We decided on calamari and lobi pop (only for me). I was informed 5/6 minutes for the pop. Side note: Pricey!!!!!! Each item in board is priced without tax but once tax is added it evens out the price. Example: $7.11 for calamari, total price with tax $8.00.Calamari came out 1st looking good but just kind of bland! And they are really cutting corners offering actual homemade bland kettle chips instead of actual chips aka fries with all their fried dishes. No one wants fish and kettle chips???!!Finally after 15 minutes or so my Lobi Pop came out! So this dish is a grilled lobster tail, resting on coleslaw and topped with fried onions! Sounds like my kind of dish! Well I don't remember the board saying half the tail? You can get these small tails for $5 in the store so I assumed (and we all know what happens when one assumes...) it would be the whole thing. Anywho I dove in. Coleslaw was boring, made with vinegar and no mayo. It was clearly just a filler not meant for eating. Lobster tail half was covered in a tasty sauce, and I killed it. It was wonderful! But honestly I felt like I was robbed. $10 bucks....half a tail, inedible slaw, those onions also no need.Overall no Thanks! Over priced, cutting corners, and unseasoned food....at least I tried it. Won't be back! Cheers!

The food and service from this food truck is great! It's a bit pricy though.So far, I've had the following...Lobster Slider: It was delicious! When I saw the size of the slider, I thought it was a bit small, but it was just enough to eat with the side of house chips. The house chips was seasoned well, but it was a mishmash of crispy and soggy chips. For 10 bucks, there better not be any soggy chips with the slider.Lobster Roll: It was fabulous! For $18, it was a worthwhile indulgence because they are not skimpy on the Maine lobster meat, and it was cooked perfectly. The lobster meat and diced celery were tossed in drawn butter served with lemon aioli and leafy lettuce in a toasty roll. The house chips that came with the order were also crispy. There wasn't a soggy chip in my order because I expressed my last experience.I'm definitely a fan, but it won't be often that I'll enjoy their food because I won't have a rainy day fund if I indulge on a regular basis with their prices. This will be a special treat once in a while.PS: Tax is included in the prices I mentioned.

WOW!!! Kieth and Marisol are amazing people and hard workers !!! Lobster rolll to die for , filet tacos are Litterally so good but I've never tasted anything better then those friken clam chowder fries!!!!!!!!!

Rudy's on the Roll was at the Tahoe Park Spook-Tacular. I ordered the fish & chips (three pieces of hand dipped, beer battered golden fried Cod. Served with French fries, tartar sauce & fresh lemon). The food was fresh and delicious! The staff was friendly as well. I will definitely be going back.
