Tried going to Truluck's for lunch but bartender was so rude/?snobby and made me feel terrible so I left and went to find seafood elsewhere and came across Luke's! The women at the register was so kind, she just made my day (wish I caught her name), this was last year but she left such a wonderful impression. Food was great too :) Thanks!

Prices are on the high side for a fairly small portion but this is the real deal lobster roll. Get the trio!

I purchased the trio, and it was awful. The bread was stale, and the lobster was not fresh. I bought rolls from Lukes and Masons at the Wharf, and Mason won. The lobster was fresh, and the roll was excellent.

This was an unexpected visit out or a check in during the week for me because I had family in town from Portland for a conference at the Marriott Marquis. So basically, with that being said my Cuzn's wifey wanted to grab something quick to eat that was close because she been in meetings all day at the conference. Well you obviously know what I did. I was like, Let consult Yelp!.. haha.. Seafood is her thing, so we discovered Luke's Lobster.. We choose to walk there and allow the opportunity to view the city at the same time. Forgive me, I feel like I'm being a little long winded this time. Ok, I must say to me the spot is a little cramped in space. However, it's definitely a switch up in variety compared to the other restaurants in the area. The gentleman taking out was kool and pleasant. Straight forward, no extra-ness...Good service and awareness throughout our visit. Now we got all that out of the way, the food of my choice that I recommend is the Lobster Bisque soup and the King Crab Lobster Roll/ Sandwich. This was a little different. Just make sure your request to have the sandwich prepared hot not cold.. Basically, warm the crab meat up. It literally comes straight from the shell, so it was more like room temperature. If not for that little alterations, it would be 5 Stars! Nevertheless I do recommend this spot..

Definitely a takeout place not sit-in place because the inside is very cramped and fishy-wharf feeling. However, the one guy cooking and running the counter was friendly and fast, and my very expensive 4oz $24 lobster roll was delicious! Sweet soft lobster meat with just the right amount of mayo, just a smear, and a buttery bun to hold it in. Yum!

I know this is a chain, but it was so worth visiting!! Everything was a 10/10. I wasn't even convinced I was going to like the food here, but when in Rome, right? My expectations were greatly exceeded! I would definitely recommend trying the sampler! It was a good way to try out all the different rolls without committing! The lobster bisque soup was delicious, and so creamy! The indoor seating area was very small. I wouldn't recommend going in here to dine with a large group (larger than 4). The service is okay. Counter order, nothing spectacular.

Still three stars. I always hope it will be more. The rolls are always tasty. I still want the bread to be extra toasted with a little more butter. Today the clam chowder was ridiculously salty. I couldn't finish it. As always, the store always has the sweetest employees.

Stopped in here during a visit to D.C. and got the 6oz lobster roll and clam chowder. 10/10...both. The lobster roll was loaded with lobster and was the perfect pairing with a hot bowl of chowder. Service was good. Ordered at the window & food was brought out pretty quickly. This is really a great spot to pop-in and eat real quick. Seating is a limited, but again, this is a great spot to eat and go. The interior is what I imagine lobster spots are like in Maine. Definitely adding this spot to my D.C. restaurant list.
