Came back here for the first time in years, the prices have been raised substantially and they no longer have their famous lobster mac n' cheese! However, the rolls were still very good and the two young men working were friendly and efficient. Might come back for a special treat sometime (or if they decide to bring back their mac n cheese).

My wife and I were visiting family in New York City last week, and one of the absolute highlights of our trip was going to Luke's on Friday night. We'd heard that lobster rolls are a must try in NYC, and Luke’s did not disappoint. The food quality was phenomenal, the rolls were buttered perfectly and their clam chowder was a perfect mix of creamy and chunky. Our server Jackson was incredibly informative and he even let us sample each one of their soups. The only downside is that there are no Luke's in Nebraska!!

First time here and won’t be our last! My wife loves sea food and I went and surprised her with a quick stop at this trending but also a chain that’s been around for a while doing delicious seafood dishes aka lobster ones! My youngest and my wife tried the trio to get a feel for what’s available and were recommended to start with that if it was their first time there. It was their first time and they were very happy with the recommendation and tasteful food they gave them! Small place but mouthful tasteful options, if you’re into lobster and shrimp!

I've never even heard of lobster rolls before and idk what I expected but it wasn't this. However, these were DELICIOUS and as a seafood lover I can't believe I have lived more than 30 years without having had some, nor that it took me traveling to NYC to try one. 10/10 do recommend. Do yourself a favor and get their rootbeer as well!
