Luke's Lobster on the Upper West Side is a fantastic spot for fresh, quality seafood in a casual and enjoyable setting. The lobster rolls are the real deal — generous, flavorful, and worth every penny. The atmosphere has that relaxed New England seafood shack charm that works perfectly for the concept. Service was a bit inconsistent and could be more attentive, but it didn't take away too much from an otherwise great experience. A go-to for lobster rolls in the neighborhood.
Popped in for lunch and boy was this a great choice. The lobster and seafood roll options were incredible. There was even a children's portion on the menu. I had the Lobster Flight and devoured it. Everything our group ordered came with chips and a drink which was a bonus. It's small and seating is limited, but the food will have you coming back. There is also the option to order to go.
I discovered this place in DC and I wanted to have it again while in NY. I wish the lobster had been warm. It was a cold day and having it cold was not what I was expecting. I’ll come back though!
So I placed an Uber eats order. Now the food came warm. The clam chowder did not miss a beat! I was actually so disappointed I didn't get a large. The Lobster roll was ok. I wasn't a fan of the bread. The taste instantly remained me of hotdog bread. The lobster it self was tasteful. I'll deff be back for the soup!
After a morning exploring the American Museum of Natural History, I headed straight for Luke’s Lobster nearby—and I’m so glad I did! The staff greeted me with such friendliness, making the cozy spot feel instantly welcoming. I ordered the classic lobster roll, and it was everything I hoped for. The roll was perfectly toasted and buttery, holding a generous helping of fresh, sweet lobster meat. Every bite was packed with flavor—just a touch of mayo, a sprinkle of lemon butter, and a hint of seasoning that let the natural taste of the lobster shine. It was simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The portion was just right, and the lobster tasted so good I found myself savoring every bite. Luke’s Lobster is the perfect stop for a quick, satisfying meal near the museum. The quality of the seafood really stands out, and the friendly staff make the experience even better. If you’re in the area and craving something special, don’t miss this spot—the lobster roll is a must-try and definitely left me wanting to come back for more!
Honestly was pleasantly surprised. Stopped by after a long walk in Central Park. Ordered the medium size lobster roll. Got a pretty good size and quality roll. Great taste, came also with good vinegar chip and a blueberry drink! Going back. Kinda pricey as I paid +$40 but it is good!
My go-to anytime I'm in town. The white truffle is absolutely amazing, and so is the spicy honey! We got 6oz rolls, but you can also choose a 4oz. The clam chowder is delicious with plenty of clam!
I went there yesterday for lunch and asked for a recommendation. The classic lobster roll tastes super fresh and delicious and was filled with plenty of lobster (even though I ordered a small one). I also enjoyed the clam chowder, which I’ve never tried before (I’m from Europe, only used to bouillabaisse). Great place!
