Our Story

It all started in a Florida kitchen, cooking seafood and dreaming big. While sharing laughs and lobster with my nephew, Chef Nick, the idea sparked—what if we brought chef-crafted lobster to the streets? Nick joked, “Call me when you buy a truck, Aunt.” Two years later, I did just that.

The Lobster Food Truck was born in our hometown of Detroit—a 50/50 family-owned business built on passion, grit, and a love for fresh seafood with a twist. Our truck now rolls through Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Washtenaw counties, with a take-out spot in Dearborn.

From being the first food truck inside Comerica Park to appearing on Hard Knocks during Detroit Lions training camp, we’ve come a long way. Voted #1 Food Truck by Hour Detroit for three years running, we live by one motto: work hard, laugh harder.

We serve everyone from foodie adventurers to sports fans and corporate crews—wherever there’s a craving for something bold and delicious. Even during the pandemic, we kept rolling with a drive-through window that kept the lobster love alive.

This is more than food—it’s family, hustle, and a whole lot of flavor.

Unmatched Quality

We source our lobsters from the pristine waters of the Gulf of Maine, Atlantic Provinces, and Nova Scotia, partnering with trusted suppliers to ensure only the finest quality. By blending tradition with innovation, we craft menu items that highlight the natural richness of fresh lobster. Our process is also rooted in sustainability as we use biodegradable paper products.  Additionally, we humanely harvest claws before returning the lobster to the sea where the claw will regenerate. This unique approach ensures the lobster survives and continues to thrive, preserving marine life while offering an exceptional culinary experience.
