What Did You Order?: Lobster Roll Conneticut Style with Lobster Bisque • 
Is This One Of Your Favorite Trucks?: YES 

This is by far one of the best trucks that I have tried. I told my entire office about their deliciousness and it is totally worth the cost. The Lobster Bisque had huge chunks of lobster and hit the spot perfectly on a cold wintery day. The roll was a little small, but each bite was amazing. So, I would definitely do a meal. Please come to Franklin Square more often. EVERYONE MUST TRY THIS TRUCK!!

Ordered the Maine style Lobster Roll meal and all I can say is--Wow!! Excellent sandwich, very fresh lobster, great bread, chips and a pickle. Service was great! Didn't have to wait long. The fountain gingerale soda was also great. Loved it that they had plastic bags to carry everything!

Rising to huge popularity in just a little under two months, the Red Hook Lobster Pound food truck made a huge splash in the DC food truck scene. It now tops the charts in food trucks with the most Twitter followers (as of Oct 10, 2010).

Also known as DC’s Lobster Truck, this food truck has a simple menu of lobster rolls and shrimp rolls. The lobster rolls are served as Maine-style (mayo-based) by default, but can also be ordered as Connecticut-style (butter-drizzled). Red Hook Lobster Pound innovated in the food truck scene by having the first fountain soda dispenser integrated into the side of the food truck, serving Maine Root soda. Pro-tip: Line up for the truck before they arrive on location. Once the truck parks, insanely long lines start to form.  The lobster truck is permitted in DC, Arlington, Montgomery County and Fairfax County.

On April 30th, 2011, Red Hook launched their second DC food truck, named Lobby 2.
