No one else gets the sweet balance of lobster purity with buttery roll goodness that's found at Luke's. The simplicity of premium ingredients come together in perfect harmony in this lobster roll .

Phanessa

Great location, has indoor and outdoor seating . One of the best, affordable Lobster Rolls in the city . Served cold, healthy portion of large chunks of sweet meat. Bread doesn't overpower the lobster .

Brigette K.

Yum and wow!! Bit expensive but so good. Lobster is basically just big chunks, butter and spice. Call ahead before going, they close for random reasons and don't post it anywhere but the front door!

New York Habitat

Same great lobster rolls as the East Village spot but we still recommend the Taste of Maine as the best bang for your buck. Best part of this location? You can now have it delivered!

Eaters Heaven

Lobster , shrimp and crab roll - all good. Today was a bit too much lemon butter on my lobster roll , but normally always great!

Vuk Milanovic

Lobster roll and crab roll are great. Shrimp roll is kinda lacking. Great spot for a quick (and healthy!) meal. Few seats inside.

Matthew Caldecutt

It's unfortunate that the tables are for four so quick lunches and dinners are hard for one, but if you have the patience to wait, you can get a delicious lobster roll and a seat.

Chrissy K

The lobster roll was delicious. Definitely worth the upgrade to a combo for slaw , a pickle , and a drink

Richarf Smith

Finally made it. This place is Exactly what they say... What lobster roles are supposed to be... All lobster ... Tried lots of other rolls in the city . This is the best...by far.

Stefanie

My favorite lobster roll in the city . Whole chunks of lobster served warm on a buttered roll.

Val Leungt

Lobster roll was full of lobster :) the bisque was delicious. Friendly staff , nice interior design and funny signs. Loved it

Brad Zacharia

Great place to grab a spring/summer meal to bring to the park or sit on a bench near the Museum of Natural History. Some tasty beers too.

Serious Eats

The cold Maine-style and hot Connecticut-style lobster rolls are some of the best in the city .

Ji

Spicy Mala lobster was amazing! The lobster was firm and juicy, but pass on the Mac and cheese .

Fernando de Leon

I had the lobster roll and the clam chowder which were both fantastic. The problem is that the portions are quite small particularly the roll itself for the price being charged.

Alexa Stern

When I miss New England this is where I get my fix! Lobster roll is DELICIOUS! Very hearty serving of lobster meat . Coleslaw is so-so

Suzy Tran

Get the lobster mac and cheese . Won’t regret it. Lobster roll is tiny and a little pricey at $17, but it satisfied my craving.

Kat Karimi

Their rolls are amazing. The best in town . The lobster is pretty damn good, too. Get a Schooner special w/ ginger brew and salt + vinegar chips and you're set.

Elizabeth Lee

Get their taste of Maine platter. Lobster rolls are so yummy! Great service too.

The Corcoran Group

New York City ’s freshest, most affordable lobster roll in now available on the Upper West Side! Our favorite remains the Noah’s Ark.

Bohdan Hnatkovskyy

Another popular chain with local famous lobster rolls . Shrimp roll is better, as for me.

Hanil Altunergil

Had the platter for two and it was just amazing!!

Sabina B.

Quite possibly the best thing to happen to the UWS. Go big with the Taste of Maine or go home.

John E

Neck & neck with Red Hook for best lobster rolls in the city , and Luke's has far more locations.

Marcela Semione

One of the best places I ate while in NY. Amazing food and reasonable price.

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

Solid albeit small lobster rolls and new England clam chowder here, worth a visit

Nuha Al-Dekhyl

The tastiest lobster roll .. sooo great , the clam shoulder soup was average though

Charles J.

Lobster roll is fantastic, lunch service great as well

The lobster roll is definitely (and predictably) the best option here. Absolutely delicious.

Enjoy delicious seafood and a killer lobster roll . A popular stop on the Spring Up to The West Side tour .

Alex Fish

Bring a date for a delicious combo of rolls...all about that Noah's Ark

Roma Pholu

Awesome place with awesome lobster rolls . Strongly recomended

Sara Y

Take it from a born-and-bred New Englander: these lobster rolls are the real deal.

Meylin M

All 3 rolls taste amazing! The crab roll was my favorite. Very cute place.

Kathy Liu

Crab rolls are fresh and tender; get it with the blueberry soda .

Johnny Cooper

Totally bland. The pickle was the best part. Either BYOOB (bring your own old bay ) or go to Oaxaca Taco next door. Supes cheaper and totes DELISH!

Joseph Eyles

Lobster roll ...lobster....roll.....amazing

Mike Wetherell

The seafood is great, and make sure to finish with a whoopee pie !

Dina

The lobster roll was amazing and the staff were very friendly

Tomatoe

Taste of Marine (though pricey at $23)... Is totally worth it!!

Ricky Sherrill

Cannot beat their Lobster Rolls .....they are a little small so order two.

Julie Qiu

Try the A Taste Of Maine Combo - Half lobster roll , half crab roll , half shrimp roll , full gloriousness

Sebastian Bayter

Lobster roll is delicious. Small but delicious!

John Bogannam

If you're getting a lobster roll anywhere besides Luke's, you're getting a second rate lobster roll .

Mike

Great lobster roll ... fast, delicious and resonable

Dan Durkin

A little pricey for the size of the sandwich . Definitely a #TreatYoSelf situation.

Sereita Cobbs

Beer isn't kept cold enough. Solid lobster roll . Order it CT-style (sans mayo ).

Berta C
