“ 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! ”
“ Yummy food, and Gluten-free buns! Best service consistently! These folks genuinely care about their customers, which is hard to find sometimes in the restaurant business! ”
“ If you’re looking for a good lobster roll experience - that’s the place! We tried both Luke’s Trios (one including crab roll and shrimp roll) as well as lobster roll served warm, witch was my personal favorite :) Service was super friendly and what I appreciated a lot was „the source board”informing where each meat on your plate comes from. ”
“ Great little lunch spot. Freshest most tasty lobster roll I've ever had. I ordered Luke's Trio which is a trio of rolls with crab, prawn and lobster. Each roll was delightful, all with equally unique different delicious flavours. Nice ambience in the place and service was very good. ”
“ Was in UES yesterday, our old neighborhood, decided to walk around and ended up having dinner here. First time at a Luke's Lobster so I was trying to not have the highest expectations versus what we've enjoyed in Newport, RI. Turned out to be really good! I ordered the lobster roll with bisque and drink, opted to upgrade to a 6 oz rose for an additional 8. Hubby had the crab roll lobster mac & cheese. And yep, strategically always good for sharing everything! Their bisque was deliciously comforting. The lobster mac & cheese was actually surprisingly really good. Hubby enjoyed the crab roll and I also loved the lobster roll. They have a small outdoor dining area outside and on a beautiful not so cold evening, this was absolutely perfect! Staff were also great. Polite, smiling, actually liked taking care of customers type. May actually use that loyalty card as it works for UWS branches too! On our way out, we waved and thanked the team who took care of us, with a quick thumbs up! Thanks guys! This will definitely help satisfy our New England cravings until it's safe to be traveling again! We'll be back! ”
“ 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! ”
“ Amazing warm lobster roll - very fresh and tasty ”
“ 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 ”
