We had Luke's trio, consisting of half rolls of prawn, lobster and crab. The seafood was so fresh and the rolls had such a generous amount of butter. The service staff were really friendly too!
I don’t think I’ve ever had something so delicious. The shrimp roll was absolutely heavenly and the service was very fast and efficient. Worth the drive there honestly
I was having a craving for lobster while in NYC, but I didn't want to go through the whole ordeal of finding a place that serves it, and paying an exorbitant amount for some upscale seafood dinner. I wanted something casual, and I found it at Luke's Lobster. I ordered the Taste of Maine for about $25 which comes with a 1/3 of a lobster, 1/3 shrimp and 1/3 of a crab roll, chips and a drink. It was nice to be able to sample each of the popular sandwiches served. They bread was light and buttery, and each of the filling were very meaty and lightly seasoned and dressed so that the taste of the seafood stood out. The portions were okay. I've had larger elsewhere, but I was pretty full by the end. The only thing is that it was hard to find a seat without feeling elbow to elbow with the other diners. I know that is common in NYC, but it was still somewhat uncomfortable. I'd go back though. It was great!
Great ambience with bit of a small-town-beach-town feel. Good menu, reasonably priced. Portion size was bit of a letdown, but ok considering it is Upper East.
Fantastic place!! We had the Taste of Maine - 1/2 Lobster Roll, 1/2 Crab Roll, 1/2 Shrimp Roll, Cole slaw, soda, pickle and 2 crab claws.
We will go back soon. Restaurant just a few blocks from apartment.
Came here before heading to Central Park and thought the lobster was really fresh! I got the trio option and loved each flavor. So happy I got to try this place while visiting New York!
Really great place to grab a bite before visiting the Met.
Lobster roll is absolutely freakin delicious, I recommend the lobster sampler set because the spicy honey butter roll is so freakin good!!!!🤤🤤 I wish they would have a full lobster roll with only spicy honey butter though because I can't get enough of it.
Poppyseed slaw is also a very good side as it's not too expensive, adds veggie to your meal, and it just tastes so good.
Also the staff was very friendly (not overbearing which I like too). Many people seem to get take out so there were a lot of seats Sunday lunchtime.
This place is going on my recommended visit list for when my friends ask for recs for NYC restaurants :P
Food has phenomenal flavor, the Mac and cheese was nice and hot, although I was disappointed that for an 8oz cup @$15 the cup was not full to the top as you can see in the photo. But otherwise well done. The truffle lobster roll is the best, soft and tender.
I’m all about this lobster rolls 🤩
I try these for the first time in Miami and since then, every time I go to the US I look for the nearest store!!
It’s hard to decide whether the lobster or the crab roll 😅 I just love them both.
This store at Upper East Side is so cool, they made it just as a fisherman’s tavern, the staff is great, always smiling!
What else can I say? Just go and enjoy!
Lobster education is visually all over the restaurant. And I am thinking the education made the lobster taste better really fresher.
