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.
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.- New York HabitatNovember 22, 2011Same 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!
Brigette K.January 14, 2015Yum 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!
Eaters HeavenMay 10, 2016Lobster, shrimp and crab roll - all good. Today was a bit too much lemon butter on my lobster roll, but normally always great!
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.
StefanieFebruary 23, 2016My favorite lobster roll in the city. Whole chunks of lobster served warm on a buttered roll.
Chrissy KDecember 16, 2015The lobster roll was delicious. Definitely worth the upgrade to a combo for slaw, a pickle, and a drink
Alexa SternJuly 30, 2017When 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 TranFebruary 10, 2018Get the lobster mac and cheese. Won’t regret it. Lobster roll is tiny and a little pricey at $17, but it satisfied my craving.
Vuk MilanovicOctober 21, 2015Lobster roll and crab roll are great. Shrimp roll is kinda lacking. Great spot for a quick (and healthy!) meal. Few seats inside.- Val LeungtNovember 12, 2016Lobster roll was full of lobster :) the bisque was delicious. Friendly staff, nice interior design and funny signs. Loved it
Brad ZachariaJanuary 21, 2013Great 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.
JiMay 28, 2022Spicy Mala lobster was amazing! The lobster was firm and juicy, but pass on the Mac and cheese.
Bohdan HnatkovskyyMarch 14, 2019Another popular chain with local famous lobster rolls. Shrimp roll is better, as for me.
Serious EatsApril 1, 2014The cold Maine-style and hot Connecticut-style lobster rolls are some of the best in the city.
The Corcoran GroupDecember 17, 2010New York City’s freshest, most affordable lobster roll in now available on the Upper West Side! Our favorite remains the Noah’s Ark.
Fernando de LeonNovember 24, 2012I 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.
Elizabeth LeeOctober 17, 2016Get their taste of Maine platter. Lobster rolls are so yummy! Great service too.
Kat KarimiMay 21, 2011Their 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.
John EJanuary 27, 2016Neck & neck with Red Hook for best lobster rolls in the city, and Luke's has far more locations.
Nuha Al-DekhylSeptember 12, 2019The tastiest lobster roll .. sooo great , the clam shoulder soup was average though
Richarf SmithMarch 10, 2012Finally 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.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzNovember 27, 2014Solid albeit small lobster rolls and new England clam chowder here, worth a visit
Marcela SemioneDecember 20, 2014One of the best places I ate while in NY. Amazing food and reasonable price.
- Jonathan PevarnekJanuary 4, 2016The lobster roll is definitely (and predictably) the best option here. Absolutely delicious.
Johnny CooperJune 27, 2013Totally 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!
Fun Foodie NYC ToursJune 21, 2013Enjoy delicious seafood and a killer lobster roll. A popular stop on the Spring Up to The West Side tour.
Ricky SherrillDecember 2, 2014Cannot beat their Lobster Rolls.....they are a little small so order two.- Try the A Taste Of Maine Combo - Half lobster roll, half crab roll, half shrimp roll, full gloriousness
If you're getting a lobster roll anywhere besides Luke's, you're getting a second rate lobster roll.
Beer isn't kept cold enough. Solid lobster roll. Order it CT-style (sans mayo).
Quite possibly the best thing to happen to the UWS. Go big with the Taste of Maine or go home.

Dan DurkinJune 30, 2015A little pricey for the size of the sandwich. Definitely a #TreatYoSelf situation.
