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!

Lobster education is visually all over the restaurant. And I am thinking the education made the lobster taste better really fresher.

Run, don’t walk, to Luke’s. I’m a lobster roll snob and their lobster roll e lapses those that I’ve had on the coast of Maine. Seriously, just the best.

Went there for the 1st time. After eating the most delicious lobster roll, I realized that I didn't receive what I ordered. When I brought it to the staff's attention they were ready to go above and beyond to make it right. I thanked them and told them it was ok because it gives me a reason to go back and try something else that I'm sure will be just as amazing.

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.

Tried the regular lobster rolls and the hot honey and truffle rolls. The hot honey was my favorite. Would go again, but it wasn’t the best ever.

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

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 can't taste bad so obviously it was delicious. the sampler was a good way to try out the shrimp, lobster, and crab (each piece was 2oz whereas the regular size was 4oz & larger size was 6oz which just has more meat). this place is if you're willing to spend a good amount of money for yummy sandwiches. understandable for fresh seafood. but hey at least they give you a free bag of chips lol

Honestly, would’ve given them a 5-Star rating if we just had the lobster roll. It was absolutely stuffed with thick CHUNKS of soft sweet sweet lobster and it was just delicious, especially if you enjoy being able to actually taste the lobster and not be overwhelmed by the butter and sauces/mayo that some places tend to stuff their rolls with to overcompensate for the lack of lobster meat. NOT here. Yes, the portion size is slightly small for the price BUT the flavour more then compensates for it. The lobster Mac and Cheese, on the other hand, lacked much lobster. There were only two pieces in ours, in fact. But the m&c was creamy and soft so it wasn’t bad overall, just expected more lobster. Staff are super friendly and amazing too!
