The trio platter was delicious and the lobster, crab and shrimp all tasted delicious. I was happy that it wasn’t just smothered in butter because that always takes away from the lovely sweet flavor of the lobster. The service was really fast, but it was pretty pricey, I think a full sized lobster roll would have cost you $30+ if I remember correctly.

Luke's is always on point! Never had such a fresh batch if shrimp in a sandwich. Their buns are extremely good as well. They are very generous with their servings, I mean, the sandwich looks like it's throwing up shrimp?, it's over-flowing with them! Can't seem to get enough of it when I am in this area! Their Mac-N-Cheese is great too! This is what I call a good way to treat oneself! Love their staff as well, no matter whom I've dealt with here, they are always very friendly, courteous and professional!

I'm not too keen for cold lobster rolls but these BANGED!!! I ordered the trio. Of the 3 my fav was the shrimp. The crab and lobster were an out a tie but all 3 were delicious. You can't miss with the clam chowder either, especially on a cold day. The hospitality of the staff made you feel right at home.

If your craving a lobster roll in NYC Lukes is the place to go. The lobster was fresh and so delicious! It was big chunks of fresh lobster. I was very impressed with the lobster roll. I also had a bowl of clam chowder and it was amazing as well. They have several locations all over NYC. We came here for lunch and we were very pleased with the service and quality.

***4 1/2 stars*** If lobster rolls were more filling and less expensive, I would probably eat them multiple times throughout the week; I go back and forth on whether it's better that they're not. I popped in here for an intentionally light lunch on Friday, knowing I was having a legit dinner later. I have some familiarity with Luke's - when I worked in Jersey City, they had a food truck that I went to a handful of times but ultimately stopped visiting because there were a few cheaper lobster roll options nearby. The price point remains high, but it's hard to take too many points off for that when lobster in general is pretty expensive by definition. I was pleasantly surprised by how cute the interior of Luke's is - it's a fairly unobtrusive storefront, but they've got a nice seafood shack vibe going on inside. It's a LITTLE crowded/claustrophobic, but good luck finding a spacious, empty interior in lower Manhattan these days. It's a pretty low-maintenance ordering setup, and should be, given that a lobster roll really doesn't take a long time to prep/finalize for a customer. Compared to a food truck, Luke's probably takes an extra minute or two, but it's worth it. A few weeks ago I had easily the worst lobster roll I've ever had - a winery thought it was a good idea to put chopped up tomato chunks on top of it with mango, creating a bizarre crustacean bruschetta situation. Luke's restored my faith in the almighty lobster roll. This one is probably one of the best I've had outside of Maine, with an excellent Old Bay-esque seasoning that has the potential to be overwhelming but was lightly dusted over the roll responsibly. At $25 or so, it's a little cringey for a quick lunch bite (I think you can gobble this up in about six or seven bites if you had a mind to), but that crazy tomato chunk one was $30, so your mileage may vary. The brioche bun was properly toasted and buttery - the whole experience was top-notch. Beyond that, the customer service was solid across the board. It looked like I had a young pup cashier learning the ropes but she was personable and efficient. From the few minutes I was in there waiting for my food, you could also tell there's excellent rapport amongst the kitchen crew that extends to some of their regular customers as well. A very pleasant atmosphere. Definitely stopping by again, but likely only once or twice a month on principle due to the wallet hit - for roughly 300 or 400 calories (a very light lunch for me), it's tough to justify on a more regular basis.

Quiet on a Monday morning. Very easy to order and the wait was short. Lobster roll was amazing. So was the clam chowder. Toasted bun complemented the chilled lobster mix. Enjoyed it thoroughly!

Luke’s Lobster on 26 S William Street, Financial District, New York, NY, have the best quality lobster from Maine and seafood, excellent customer service, competitive prices and delicious food. Their staff is friendly whether calling in an order or going for a take-out or pick up. Thanks, Kevin, for your excellent service!

I ordered 2 lobster rolls today for lunch through ubereats. My colleague mentioned he loved the rolls so I took the leap and I don't regret it. I bought their classic lobster roll as well as one with truffle butter. While I loved the classic and had it for dinner, I must confess the truffle butter roll sold me. I'm hooked. For the price and portion I can say this is definitely one of the better spots I've had in years.
