Can't miss this! Try the trio ($20) -- deliciously fluffy, buttery, perfectly toasted bread FILLED with a lot of lobster, crab, or shrimp. You can taste the freshness of their traceable, sustainable seafood. It's a simple fish because the seafood is seriously that great! If you'd prefer to spend less, go for the crab ($13) or shrimp ($9). My favorite one was actually shrimp. The staff was extremely friendly !
Their other location is top ranked so I was nervous to go to this new location, which was closer to me. No regrets! Same great quality!
Amazing flavours and so fresh that I wish it was available everywhere. I was very impressed with the commitment to sustainable harvesting and service. The place was as clean as a whistle and bright. If you don't like seafood it might not be for you. However, Luke's has their own delicious lemonade and a few other nonseafood snack options. You should taste the crab though!
Nice rolls although a bit small for the price. Bread was toasted nicely and fillings were nicely seasoned. Felt like the seafood needed to be dried better though, there was a soggy bottom issue.
The small portions are disappointing but the flavor is awesome. I lived in Maine so I know a good lobster roll and I can tell you that the lobster roll here is the bomb. I had the trio. The lobster and shrimp were my favorites the crab left a little bit to be desired. Food was really good nice and fresh.
The lobster roll was great and had lots of large pieces of lobster. It was a little smaller than in am used to, but it was very good. The clam chowder was wonderful. This is a place worth returning to. Service was quick. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. The staff was very friendly as well.
The food itself is good but the prices are a bit much for lunch. It's lobster though and good quality. The Rittenhouse location is always a lot more crowded but this one seems to never have anyone in it. I think it might have a lot to do with its location not having a lot of companies near by where people can afford to have lobster for lunch.
Pretty good for city seafood:
They had fresh lobster rolls, two kinds of crab rolls, and a shrimp roll.. with the sources for their crab and lobsters on a chalk board, so it looks like a legit joint, even if they are a local chain.
I've had better at little crab shacks in coastal New England, but this was pretty good. I would have given them a five star.. but they didn't serve any of their crab with butter (I had to ask for it), and their lobster mac & cheese, while good, was lacking the crushed seasoned bread crumbs that normally puts that dish over the top for me (they were out of the seasoned bread crumbs, and this made me sad). Also, it was a bit more expensive that I was expecting. I mean it was downtown Philly (and I really pigged out with double apetizers), but my wife and I paid over $90 with tip). If I hadn't piggedout (and taken some home) it probably would have been ~ $70.
Still glad we went. good eats.
I attended the opening. Wow! Really cool shack - really felt like I was in Maine. And, of course the lobster roll was incredible. I met Luke and Jamie and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thanks Kevin!!! The enclosed pic is left to right - my son Adam, my son Kevin (and new Gen Manager), me and ....Luke himself!

LOVED MY LOBSTER ROLL! Very casual eat-in seafood spot. Located in the heart of Center City. A little pricey for the portions but GOOD EATS for sure!
