Luke’s Lobster
“A definite go-to if you're down in Financial District and one of the places I make sure to take out-of-towners when they come to visit me.”
“The lobster rolls are excellent (my mouth waters as I type) the shrimp and crab rolls are good as well.”
“My wife and I split the Noahs Ark which gave us a little sample of each of the roles that they make.”

Stop, Drop, and Lobster Roll.
Seriously. Stop wondering what's for lunch and drop $16 on a Luke's Lobster Roll. This tiny restaurant isn't worth a subway ride, but Luke's is how to roll in Lower Manhattan.
Luke's signature sandwich is no secret. It's simple and scrumptious with a New England-style split-top bun stuffed with Lobster meat, Mayo, melted Butter, Lemon Juice, and Spices. From the first bite of a Luke's Lobster Roll, you'll be rockin' like Joan Jett (with your taste buds as the Blackhearts).
Singing, I love Lobster 'n roll
So, put another bite in the talk box, baby
I love Lobster 'n roll
So, come and take your time and lunch with me
Ow!
Make your meal a Soup Combo ($8) including a bag of Chips, a Pickle, bottle of Maine Root Soda, and small serving of mediocre Clam Chowder. That means $24 before tax for lunch, but, hey, that's just how you roll.
Very delicious lobster! My only gripe is that I prefer warm lobster, so I was a little disappointed when it came out chilled. Portion is on the smaller size for the price.
Luke's Lobster just became my Lobster!
These lobster rolls are the lobster roll standard the perfect amount of lobster to mayo to roll they just do it right here.
When you get into this tiny spot everything is wood and has the feeling of stepping on to a ship like you are about to go catch some lobsters …. Argghg mate!
I got the lobster roll combo that comes with a lobster roll, chips or Cole slaw, pickle, and any non alcoholic drink.
The blueberry lemonade was calling my name for the drink and it was really sweet from the honey they put in, but had a nice level of blueberry to Melo it out.
The lobster roll was awesome and tasty with every bit but you just eat it so fast cause it is kind of small my co- worker bought two.
The service was super quick and walk outside as there was a bunch of seating outside to catch some rays while I ate.
In short:
– great lunch spot
– quick order food
– friendly staff
– a little pricey expect to spend at least $21 after tax
Great food. They do only have a few seats and at the weekend people seem to hang out like it is a coffee bar!
Best lobster roll I've had in a long long long time… come to think of it, might be the best lobster roll I've ever had, which is a distinct contrast to the last lobster roll I had (in Connecticut) which was the worst lobster roll I've ever had.
To die for… highly recommended.
Have eaten at LL a couple of times. Quick service lobster is my kind of concept. Good soups and now they have a salad with a cold lobster over kale and quinoa. Wife raves about the lobster rolls. Only downside is limited menu on the weekends. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the ingredients.
I was hungry and craving seafood, so I turned to Yelp and ended up at Luke's Lobster.
Food:
I couldn't decide, so I ordered both the Lobster AND Crab Roll.
They were both really tasty!
I liked the lobster roll more because when eating the crab roll, I would occasionally bite into shells.
Sides Notes
Ambiance:
The restaurant is super small. I ate at Luke's Lobster around 6:00 p.m. on a weekday and there was only one person eating. I bet it gets packed during lunch, though!
Service:
The staff was super nice; I felt like they gave me their honest recommendations.
Overall:
If you're craving seafood, stop on by!
One roll does not fill you up! It's super expensive though so I couldn't justify purchasing another. But the flavoring, oh my! Super super delicious and worth it. Boyfriend and I got the lobster and the crab roll. Just don't be starving unless you have a wad of cash.
