Was craving for lobster roll during my short stay at NYC and Luke’s Lobster is one of my favorite! I remember I had it during my NYC trip years ago at Luke’s Lobster (another shop), it was so good and I just can’t resist! A lot of crab meat! And with the bread and the sauce, very good combination! Love the decoration of this place, it’s small but cosy.
I'm in Times Square a lot for shows and I adore City Kitchen but Luke's is my new go-to spot for a quick bite. Expect "tourist" prices but absolutely cannot beat a tasty lobster roll or the trio of rolls that are delightful.
Very large portions of meat in both the lobster and crab rolls. Same can be said about the lobster bisque. Service is somewhat subpar compared to other locations of this chain. Prices are a little steep. Seating in The City Kitchen however is quite good (the place also has a sushi bar, ramen outlet, coffee shop and others, like a little food court).
I have been to a few other Luke's Lobster locations around the country and world (Tokyo, Japan). One thing that I find incredible about Luke's is that the lobster is always fresh and sustainably sources. While my lobster roll was amazing, per usual, I have to give a surprising shout-out to the lobster corn chowder. The broth was rich and creamy with a nice amount of sweet lobster meat. The balance of naturally sweetness and savoriness was exactly what I need on a cold and rainy winter night in New York City!
This is the best Luke’s Lobster in town. Friendly staff and fast service. This week Lobster roll is on sale for $14. It’s located inside the City Kitchen on the Row hotel 2nd floor (enter from the side entry). Highly recommended. Downloaded the app and buy 5 times you get $10 back. Simple and easy. I still wish they can accept the ApplePay in the future.
Located in city kitchen, great lobester, portion size a little bit small, $17 per lobester roll, I usually need two to fill myself up. Best lobester roll I had.
$20 for a lobster roll, coleslaw and chips. A little bit expensive but the lobster is pretty good taste. The location is at the second floor of the building and there are other tasty shops there.
The food is fantastic, no questions about that. If you got a little bit more for the cost it would absolutely be 5 stars.
That's the only flaw, everything else is amazing. Very well crafted bites, with tasty seafood, crunchy rolls, and a salty topping. I actually prefer the crab roll the most here, as you do get a good amount of fresh, cool crab in that crunchy toasted roll and a nice contrast with salty seasoning. It really is a great bite.
The location is in a kitchen market with nice seating along the windows to enjoy your meal. Check it out!
Delicious lobster and crab roll with very generous portions of meat. The roll is modest in size and a little on the expensive side - but it is New York and the quality is very good.
Delicious as usual.
Can’t go wrong with their lobster roll.
Really quick service and helpful staff, visited last sunday morning.
Pricey, but fast service and amazing lobster sandwiches, with fresh meat from Prince Edward Island. Open seating and friendly service. An excellent choice.
I returned to NYC after many years and heard of an amazing place, Luke's Lobster Times Square to visit; it was a recommendation from my best friend.
The employee at the counter greeted me with a large smile and asked if I'd like a recommendation. I was glancing at the menu at the time and with enthusiasm, he recommended the Lobster Combo as it was in the business's name! I ordered a chowder soup and blue berry soda for sides.
The energetic employee had the soup and drink out in mere seconds and said that once the roll was ready, he would deliver it to where I was sitting: wow let's talk about personal service!
The roll was FANTASTIC!! I have not tasted such authentic and fresh lobster in quite some time. The seasoning and truffle butter was amazing!
I have to give this place 5 stars for their dedicated work, cleanliness of their work environment, enthusiasm, and of course amazing food! As a side note, I returned twice later that week as I was truly captivated by the food and service. Thank you Luke's Lobster Times Square!!
The lobster roll was good.. but not great, if I'm being honest I've had better. Maybe my expectations were too high because I've heard so much good about this place. Dont get me wrong it wasnt bad.. just not amazing. The roll was on point but the lobster just lacked flavor.. The sign did say the lobster was from Canada that day so maybe I gotta try it again when it's the real deal Maine lobster. Solid 4 star rating for the friendly staff and decent food
I've never had lobster roll before but I have to admit this is the best. Great tasting, well seasoned, and great balance of taste. The negatives are the price and the size but with all the positives, it still deserves 5 stars.
Super friendly and hospitable staff! Make sure to order from Astrid on the register and look for Andree as he chefs up the rolls! Not to mention the lobster was absolutely...AMAZING!!! This is a great place for anyone trying lobster rolls for the first time.
