Reviews for Luke's Lobster Upper East Side in New York, NY
Great lobster roll! Super tasty and very well served. Super friendly staff.
lobster can't taste bad so obviously it was delicious. the sampler was a good way to try out the shrimp, lobster, and crab (each... piece was 2oz whereas the regular size was 4oz & larger size was 6oz which just has more meat). this place is if you're willingto spend a good amount of money for yummy sandwiches. understandable for fresh seafood. but hey at least they give you a freebag of chips lol Read more
Was in UES yesterday, our old neighborhood, decided to walk around and ended up having dinner here. First time at a Luke's... Lobster so I was trying to not have the highest expectations versus what we've enjoyed in Newport, RI. Turned out to be reallygood! I ordered the lobster roll with bisque and drink, opted to upgrade to a 6 oz rosé for an additional $8. Hubby had thecrab roll + lobster mac & cheese. And yep, strategically always good for sharing everything! Their bisque was deliciouslycomforting. The lobster mac & cheese was actually surprisingly really good. Hubby enjoyed the crab roll and I also loved thelobster roll. They have a small outdoor dining area outside and on a beautiful not so cold evening, this was absolutelyperfect! Staff were also great. Polite, smiling, actually liked taking care of customers type. May actually use that loyaltycard as it works for UWS branches too! On our way out, we waved and thanked the team who took care of us, with a quick thumbsup! Thanks guys! This will definitely help satisfy our New England cravings until it's safe to be traveling again! We'll beback! Read more
I?m not a lobster/seafood fanatic but the lobster rolls are 5 stars, perfectly seasoned, full of flavor and not overdone on the... butter. Shrimp and crab rolls were good but nothing crazy. As some have mentioned, the portion sizes are small and did not fillme up. Lobster roll is on a hot dog size bun. Given the price point I was expecting a bit more, would have paid an extra $5 fora hero sized roll. Better for a lunch or someone who prefers a smaller portion. Decor was inviting, small place, normalservice. Hybrid of casual fast food and sit down style (waited 8-12 min for food to come out). It?s in the category of ?am Isuppose to tip or not?? 5* for the lobster roll quality and visual appearance of food. 4* for the rest of the food andatmosphere 3* for the price to portion ratio ($$$ is probably more accurate) Read more
A small but very good restaurant in the style of a fast food lobster place. The menu is limited to a small number of items. The... lobster rolls are great and the cole slaw is very good. There is no wait staff but the kitchen will bring out your food. Thereis only a handful of tables here. Read more
Honestly, would?ve given them a 5-Star rating if we just had the lobster roll. It was absolutely stuffed with thick CHUNKS of... soft sweet sweet lobster and it was just delicious, especially if you enjoy being able to actually taste the lobster and not beoverwhelmed by the butter and sauces/mayo that some places tend to stuff their rolls with to overcompensate for the lack oflobster meat. NOT here. Yes, the portion size is slightly small for the price BUT the flavour more then compensates forit. The lobster Mac and Cheese, on the other hand, lacked much lobster. There were only two pieces in ours, in fact. But them&c was creamy and soft so it wasn?t bad overall, just expected more lobster. Staff are super friendly and amazing too! Read more
Amazing lobster roll, tons and tons of tender, juicy lobster meat cooked to perfection in a roll toasted with garlic butter,... with thyme and herbs sprinkled on top. With a side of chips and coleslaw, what more can a man ask for? Coleslaw was as onemight expect, crunchy fresh cabbage and carrots in a savoury tangy dressing, topped with some cracked pepper. A big plus isthat the Lobsters come from a sustainable source and are farmed ethically. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! Read more
Had a 4oz lobster roll (amazing!) and the max & cheese. Max and cheese was very cheesy and super hot but pretty good once it... cooled. Read more
