My experience at Luke's Lobster was alright. I ordered the truffle lobster roll, and it was good--there was a noticeable truffle flavor, and the lobster meat was substantial. I appreciated the contrast of the cold lobster meat with the warm, toasted bun. The pricing was reasonable, and it even came with chips, which was a nice touch. Although it's a bit of a walk from the metro, I might consider coming back in the future. Overall, it was a decent dining experience.

Good lobster rolls Very fulfilling I also get the combination three the shrimp crab and lobster baby rolls, and those are very affordable and fulfilling as well.

Biggest rip-off in NYC!!! Awful tasting lobster presented in a cheap plastic shell. Too expensive and slow, lousy service. The wine was just as awful too. I'll never go back and I'm hoping they go under before ripping off too many others.

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.

Ordering out from here is turkey a hit or miss. The last two times the delivery was missing the pickle and the chips. $12 for lobster bisque with no lobster meat in it. So just expensive broth. Unacceptable on both fronts.The crab roll and lobster roll are just decent. Nothing special at all here. Flavors are underwhelming and so are portions for the prices you endure…Now after giving them 3 chances on delivery and them striking out in one way or another, im done with this spot. unjustifiably expensive and no where close to worth it.

My wife loves this place. Every time I come home she wants to eat here first. She’s a seafoody kind of person so to make her happy I bring her here. She’ll devour two rolls and just be on cloud nine. I get to eat her chips though ? so that’s a

The best lobster roll of the world!

The main reason for the one-starred review is because my cousin and I shared a combo set and ended up having a stomachache and throwing up as soon as we had meals for the rest of the day and the following day. The combo set was the only we had for lunch and the symptom kicked in in the afternoon so we suspected it was because of the cleanliness/freshness of the combo set.And the “cherry on top” was the service. After ordering, the screen showed the tipping options and while I was taking a second to decide the tip, the waiter/owner “proactively” translated tip in Mandarin out loud for us WHILE the whole ordering process was in English without us asking any questions. I didn’t want to assume the worst but if the waiter/owner was so helpful, why wouldn’t he translate the menu or anything else during the ordering? instead, he translated “tip” only without us asking any questions. This is the first time I experienced something like this after moving to NYC for nine years.Would not come back to this location again

Bought a $15 Lobster Mac & Cheese. Not exaggerating that there was maybe 2-3 spoonfuls of food given and literally 2 pieces of lobster. This place is a rip off and I strongly recommend dining literally anywhere else if you value your money.

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.

So yummy! Warm buttered 6 oz. Lobster roll, no frills and so much better than the mayo versions. It's not cheap but it's very good. I just wish they had French fries instead of potato chips. Happy Yelping!

We stopped by for an afternoon snack at this Lobster restaurant located in the Upper East Side of NYC. We each had a 4 oz Lobster Roll $23 at the counter. We waited a few minutes inside until they brought it to our table. It was very tender and delectable. Simply made with lobster, butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice and seasonings on a New England split top bun.
