Food has phenomenal flavor, the Mac and cheese was nice and hot, although I was disappointed that for an 8oz cup @$15 the cup was not full to the top as you can see in the photo. But otherwise well done. The truffle lobster roll is the best, soft and tender.

Lobster 6oz
The bread is delicious. It's buttery and has a little truffle flavor, so it's good.
The chips that came with it were mediocre.

Really great place to grab a bite before visiting the Met.
Lobster roll is absolutely freakin delicious, I recommend the lobster sampler set because the spicy honey butter roll is so freakin good! I wish they would have a full lobster roll with only spicy honey butter though because I can't get enough of it.
Poppyseed slaw is also a very good side as it's not too expensive, adds veggie to your meal, and it just tastes so good.
Also the staff was very friendly (not overbearing which I like too). Many people seem to get take out so there were a lot of seats Sunday lunchtime.

This place is going on my recommended visit list for when my friends ask for recs for NYC restaurants: P

Tried the regular lobster rolls and the hot honey and truffle rolls. The hot honey was my favorite. Would go again, but it wasn’t the best ever.

Only bad for me was the price (but I’m cheap so) this place is soooooooooooooo GOOD!
The staff can definitely tell if you never been there but they are well equipped to provide great suggestions! Go head take a bite tell ‘em Amanda sent ya!

Nothing great about this place, the service is slow the place is dirty flour full of dirt, you could not do a lobster roll so average and the guy serving was super unfriendly Arthur C. There are many alternatives to eat lobster rolls in the city and this is not one of them.

Tastes like Maine, 10/10! I have tried lobster rolls at high-end restaurants in the city and still Luke’s remains a top contender for the best quality lobster roll in NYC.

Just about the best lobster roll in town. Took a while to be seated but the lobster paired with their IPA and me and my girlfriend absolutely loved it! Thanks again.

Second time at this chain specializing in "Lobster Rolls".
The product is good and fresh, the price is in line with the costs of Manhattan.
Unfortunately the place was a bit dirty and when you have to eat on the spot it's not the best.
I preferred the place located near Wall Street.

It's a lobster restaurant rather than a lobster roll house. The staff is kind and the free snacks are delicious.

I’m all about this lobster rolls
I try these for the first time in Miami and since then, every time I go to the US I look for the nearest store!
It’s hard to decide whether the lobster or the crab roll I just love them both.
This store at Upper East Side is so cool, they made it just as a fisherman’s tavern, the staff is great, always smiling!
What else can I say? Just go and enjoy!
