Jason BradyMay 1, 2013Terrible service and food at top prices. Venue and architecture is awesome. Lets hope a Michelin Chef buys this place one day. So much potential.
Lyuba KarpachovaApril 30, 2018Fresh seafood! I still can’t believe we were actually at the train station.
CompassMay 16, 2014Chow down on oysters, chowders, and other crustacean deep within Grand Central Station.
Torunn SkrogstadDecember 28, 2013Deep fried oysters with tartare sauced just amused my palate immensely.
THE Biggest selection of oysters in the city, hands down. Reasonably priced.
Luca DLJanuary 13, 2012Kumamoto & Bluepoint oysters to start, then try the amazing New England clam chowder.
Rebecca PalmerAugust 18, 2013Do not make bookings or turn up at 9pm, kitchen wants to close and they make sure you know it, maybe better for a lunch venue. Oysters are excellent, king crab overpriced and bland.
Brian ShapiroNovember 23, 2011Hit the saloon in back for a beer or cocktail. A Grand Central hidden gem.
Tiffany NgAugust 5, 2011Prim up in a hurry: mouthwash, hair spray, and ladies essentials in the women's bathroom in the saloon. Be sure to tip the attendant though!
chris pikeFebruary 16, 2012The she crab soup on Tuesdays and Thursdays is unbeatable! Say hello to Alex in the back saloon ...mention JD
Shane M.January 17, 2012Service was very good, oysters were great. Entrées were not. My suggestion is go for the oysters and enjoy dinner elsewhere.
Fried Oyster Po' Boy off the lunch menu is a must. Raw little neck clams are simply delicious and always fresh

Dmitriy SJanuary 3, 2011Get the New England clam chowder, the Naked Cowboy oysters, and a weisbeer. Leaves happy.
Rafi RomeroAugust 9, 2015The oysters were bland and hard to tell apart. Drowned in condiments to the point that I questioned what was the point of having oysters if you can't taste them. Definitely skip this tourist trap.
Gustavo RazzettiOctober 15, 2010ask for fried clams and fresh oysters (37 varieties to chose from) with blue point beer
This place is one of the old gems of new york. Get a beer and Fried Oyster po-boy for lunch off the bar menu.
- Bob van LeeuwenOctober 1, 2010Clams Casino rock over here. Soft shell crabs in june were great as well (only seasonal).
Katia RekhoMay 21, 2014Hortible service. I came very thirsty. After five minutes I started to call any server to ask just a bottle of water but they started to tell me wait that is not their table.
The pan roasts are the best things on the menu. Skip the sandwiches.
Mike O'DeaMarch 8, 2011Sit at the rightmost side of the oyster bar and watch the cook finish soups in steam jacketed pots.
Nastya SummerJune 8, 2017The price doesn't match the quality. (I tried oysters Rockefeller and dessert, didn't like both). Plus the staff wasn't really amiable, as I expected from other reviews
Xavier AMay 1, 2014Keep your eyes peeled on the receipts. The math on the suggested gratuity will totally rip you off. 20% of $26.07 is less than $5.25, not $17.21 as seen here.
the long island shinnecock oysters are great (early sept 09). also, oyster pan roast w/ six points righteous rye on rainy day.

"Another great outpost of Luke's. You'll never be disappointed with their roll, probably just a little hungry afterwards. It's not cheap but it's a great lunch treat. Don't forget the chips!"
