Luke's Lobster Times Square

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.

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 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!!

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.
