Hide Tide Gourmet Truck

Stumbled upon this truck on our way home from mystic for the weekend.
I was feeling for a lobster roll, but hadn’t found one I wanted to try. This truck did it just perfect, even my non seafood eating boyfriend had 2 himself.
The guy on the truck even helped us pack it so we could take it home. .I know who does that?? But it certainly didn’t last the trip home.
If we are ever in Connecticut again, will be sure to look out for this truck.

When I eat at High Tide I only order the lobster roll and clam chowder. And sometimes a soda. I have ordered, from the truck, multiple times and sometimes bring my son. He has had the pulled pork sandwich.
It is a food truck. The price is that of a local restaurant. You can get a lobster roll over in Clinton for the same price but get a water view and sit beneath an awning in a white plastic chair.
There is never a line and most times the generator is going off. When High Tide is at the historic Academy Street School folks sit on picnic tables. I sit in my car.
The chowder is very good but it’s availability is inconsistent-​he had it-​he does not have it. Yes you get chips with the lobster. (Another reviewer brought that up.). For $ 14.99. I think you should get chips or slaw. Sometimes there is slaw-​buy not all the time and I think that portion should be larger.
I’m not a fan of sitting solo in my car eating after using my credit card. I enjoy eating with people. I guess I’m not a food truck sort of person. The whole controversy about their existence in downtown Madison is a turnoff. I cannot imagine making money in that location. There is no volume. They do air of crying and the controversy spears to be Madison’s biggest issue.
High Tide takes credit cards.

That’s it– I’m cool on this food truck. His lobster roll is really good. You get a bag of potato chips as a part of the deal. There are picnic tables nearby. Definitely worth a try. And the rest of his menu is very enticing. Consider stopping here on the way home from the beach.
