    Tried their lobster roll and crab roll. The crab roll was $20 and the lobster roll was $30. Both came stuffed with meat. Thought they were both really good, might have even liked the crab roll a little more. Fast casual restaurant, most people just get to go.

    Luke's Lobster offers a combo that contains three mini lobster rolls with various preparations to allow a sampling. Sustainable quality sea food can come with a bit of sticker shock, but the chips and drink included helps, as does how filling the rolls are and how quickly they are prepared. The staff are friendly and know their products. A delightful experience.

    Lobster and crab roll

    Got lobster roll, crab roll and clam chowder. Lobster roll was delicious. Crab roll was too salty for my taste. Clam chowder was alright. I liked the lobster roll here more than the famous James Hook's. Service was fantastic!

    Chips and drink that come with the lobster roll flight

    When in Boston, you need to try lobsters and clam chowder. This is conveniently located close to the mall and several hotels. The staff were professional and we got our food within a reasonable amount of time. Inside was clean and bright. My friend and I ordered the Lobster Roll Flight (comes with chips and a drink) and the Clam Chowder (8 oz). Everything was cooked well, but honestly it didn't stand out. It wasn't as fresh as another place I tried in Boston. Not a bad place, but I won't go out of my way...especially when I found out it's a chain with one near me.

    Luke's Lobster has always been recommended to me as a well-known spot for lobster rolls, so we decided to stop in for a late Saturday lunch with a group of friends. Even as a party of six, we were able to find enough seating, which was a pleasant surprise for a busy weekend in Back Bay. The Back Bay location had plenty of seating and multiple clean restrooms for guests to use. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and our food came out quickly. Within 5 minutes of ordering our orders were called, so service was definitely a strong point. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the hype or the price. The lobster rolls were noticeably small for what they cost and ended up feeling underwhelming. My partner and I shared the roll flight (lobster, crab, and shrimp), which also included a bowl of clam chowder, a bag of chips, and a drink. While it was nice to sample a few options, the overall value still fell short. Having had lobster rolls in Maine, New York, and at various local spots around Boston (including places like Quincy Market), this just didn't compare. Unless you're really in a pinch and craving a lobster roll in the city, I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend Luke's Lobster.

    Luke's Lobster features lobster rolls overflowing with fresh chunks of lobster meat in butter and lemon, served on a toasted, buttery split-top bun. The clam chowder is creamy and comforting. Portions were small and kind of pricey. Service is friendly and efficient and the decor is very nautical. It's a great place for a quick lunch or a light dinner.

    Luke's Lobstah Rolls were delicious! Definitely on the pricey side, lunch came to $115, but totally worth it. We got: 2 Lobster Roll Flights (2 oz each, x3) 1 Classic Lobster Roll (quarter lb) Both came with potato chips and a drink (water or soda from the fridge). The lobster was sweet, and I loved trying the different flavor variations. The bread... oh my, it was buttery and absolutely delicious. This was bread I actually enjoyed eating on its own! Some small improvements: 1. drinks were limited to water and sodas. I didn't see any diet options, or zero sugar, so I just went with a water bottle. 2. They also don't provide ice; I asked for some, but they couldn't give any even though I know they have it in the back. 3. The staff wasn't the friendliest, not that they need to be overly chatty, but a simple hello goes a long way. Seating was plentiful, and the location is convenient, and within walking distance to the Boston Public Library. Overall, if you're in Boston, go for the Lobstah Roll Flight, it's worth it!

    Nice!

    This girl was so excited to try a lobster roll while in New England! So I did my research and I gathered how expensive it is. Lots of choices in Boston, but I settled on Luke's Lobster because it has various locations in the city and I thought it'd make it flexible based on where we were. Also, I liked their Lobster Roll Flight because you can sample 3 half-rolls with 3 types of butter and it comes with chips and a drink, locally produced! Expensive at $40, but more manageable since you can get a tad more for your buck. Or so I thought. We came at this Back Bay location for a late lunch since we were near by exploring Newbury Street. Decor is casual with some faint Nautica theme, just a few customers. No lines. I went to order at the register. The guy who helped me seemed like a zombie - barely talking, the bare minimum, no smile, no details regarding my order. He never mentioned the chips, drink, just brought the order at the table. Fast, since the rolls use cold lobster, so it takes no time to make. I inquired about chips and the drink and he told me I can get it myself. That is fine, but why didn't he guide me before? I grabbed a Cape Cod bag and a nice local made blueberry lemonade from the fridge. I asked a girl working behind the counter to open the bottle and she pointed to a bottle opener small station. I don't mind grabbing my things, just pass me the information, take care of your customers, help them, guide them, be a nice host! Customer service is terrible here, they all behave like they don't want to be here and you just bother them by ordering. Some changes need to happen! The atmosphere is pretty lousy, dirty tables, loud music, didn't like the music, very unpleasant. We even changed tables because another patron (I guess since he had no food or drinks on the table) was watching videos loudly on his laptop at the table next by. No atmosphere, no care for customers. I felt like: shall I cook my lobster, too? I didn't convert into a lobster roll lover after this experience. I didn't taste the truffle butter, or the lemon butter much, kind of bland. The honey spicy was more spicy than honey. Chips didn't taste like vinegar, but the local lemonade was nice! And they never gave me a pickle. And I am a pickle lover! Which is unfair since that comes with the meal and after reading reviews here, other folks get it! Stay away! I regret not going somewhere else for a lobster roll. For the money they charge for barely any effort, they don't treat you nicely. Worst customer service! The worst meal I had in Boston! Sooo disappointing!!! One and done!

    Gluten free lobster roll
    Ranjan S.

    I've always wanted to try a lobster roll, and thanks to Luke's GF option, I finally got to! The roll comes with chips and a drink for just under $30. Service was a bit slow, but nothing too bad. We were also lucky to grab the last open table in the spot. The roll itself was pretty good. Good amount of garlic and butter, and a bit of a crunch. Gluten free only comes as a cold roll, which would not be my preference, though. Overall, I would recommend stopping by if you're gluten sensitive and hoping to try a lobster roll!

    Seafood roll flight
    Justin A.

    Stopped by Luke's lobster after spending some time exploring the boston public library. This place completely lives up to the hype. I got the seafood roll flight(lobster, crab, and shrimp) and every bite was incredible. Super fresh, buttery, toasted brioche buns, and perfectly seasoned. My partner went with the classic lobster roll which was one of the best! We also got the clam chowder which was really solid. Quick service, quality seafood, and worth trying if you're in the area.

    Racquel S.

    Takeout/delivery. Order mix up. Was supposed to be gluten free, but the bun looked normal/ non-gluten free. Was too scared to eat it. Clam chowder and drink never came.

    Abhishek S.

    Perfect place for trying lobster rolls first time . They have rolls flight which have 3 small rolls. Lobster, shrimp and crab. I liked shrimp one best. Parking is available outside on street. It can be tight as it is busy area.

    Irena S.

    Came here for lunch around 2pm on a Monday, got the lobster roll flight , warmed, for $41. Comes with chips and a self-chosen drink from the fridge (got the Lukes lemonade) Pros: - rolls come out very quickly less than a few minutes - lots of seating available , less crowded than some touristy locations - DELICIOUS FRESH LOBSTER - that is super well seasoned. My favorite was the truffle butter flavor. Very generous with the lobster and good protein to bun ratio here. - I like that the menu is limited but with lots of options of sizing (from 4oz to 8 oz) and flights allow you to try a variety if you like - clean bathroom - comes with free pickle - again, delicious lobster. - casual but clean - quick professional service Cons: - did get a small bit of shell in one of our rolls but we chose to accept that probably meant it was super freshly prepared lol 10/10 would come again

    Absolutely top-notch vegan ramen. Coming from Vancouver, BC, where we have a killer…read more(vegan-friendly) ramen scene, I am a tough customer for ramen when visiting elsewhere. But this place completely lives up. 6 different ramens, $17.95 for the regular bowls. I was recommended the red hot miso ramen, a spicy option. You order up at the counter, and they give you a buzzer that buzzes when your ramen is ready to grab at the counter. The ramen was ready in under 10 minutes. First, the broth was remarkably complex and rich, with an endless depth that never became too overbearing -- perfect. The noodles were perfectly cooked as well, served up in a decent portion. Toppings-wise, you get tofu, soy crumble, corn, arugula, and sprouts, along with plenty of sesame seeds. I would've liked some proper greens (other than a few raw arugula leafs), but that's the most minor of complaints. Service was decent enough -- informative and helpful in describing the options. All in all, top-notch vegan ramen. Highest recommendation.

Swung by this place on a weekday for lunch to avoid the rush - most weekends I pass by this place and the line wraps around the street! My friend and I stepped in and were immediately greeted with a sour attitude. We were confused on the menu whether our ramen included chili oil or not, and the staff did not help explain anything and just quickly dismissed our questions to get us to order quicker. Once we sat down, the food was done relatively quickly. However I was very surprised on what we had gotten. Now I admit - I am not a vegetarian. However, I have enjoyed many vegetarian meals and this was quite upsetting. We both got the garlic miso ramen. The ramen was not temperature hot at all. The chili oil was not flavorful. The "soy meat" was simply just mushed tofu with awful texture, and it soaked into the soup and created a pretty unpleasant texture (I took a picture which makes me sad and unappetized). I was unable to finish my bowl. The food combined with the service made for a pretty negative time for me. I really wanted to love it - a place with a full vegetarian menu is amazing for all my friends who have that restriction! Maybe if they tried pan frying the tofu create a better textural experience? I will not plan to come back, and will highly recommend you go to any other restaurant in Back Bay.

    Area 4 is well worth the hype! Great pizza, attentive service, and plenty of outdoor seating to…read moreenjoy your food on a nice summer day. My go-tos are the mushroom pie and clam pie, both of which are super flavorful and made with high-quality ingredients. They pair really well with the shaved brussel sprout salad, which may be the perfect salad in my eyes: thinly shaved brussel sprouts, crunchy roasted hazelnuts, and slices of parmesan cheese. Not too saucy but extremely refreshing!

    I just had a disappointing pizza experience at Area 4 (rated 4.4, one of the highest in the area)…read more My sister even said she preferred dining hall food, and we both agreed that Domino's was better. The service was poor from the start. The waitress told us we would be seated at the bar. She rolled her eyes and appeared visibly annoyed when I asked if it was okay that my sister was under 21. She said it was fine as long as we didn't order drinks, then seated us at the bar. We were only given drink menus. When the bartender came over to take our order, I had to ask for a food menu myself. Our seating was also uncomfortable. We were placed right next to the bar/server station. My sister got splashed when drinks were being opened, and servers repeatedly bumped into her chair while passing. We ordered the Carnivore pizza. The pizza itself was quite salty. The dough was decent, but not impressive. I kept trying to convince myself it was good, but it fell short. Pizza: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Would I return? No. Overall, I was surprised by the 4.4 rating. My expectations were much higher based on the reviews.

    Saltie Girl was hands down my favorite meal in all of Boston during our weekend trip. the pricing…read moreis very reasonable and options for oysters are plenty. lobster roll was around $45, so pretty average for other places we went to but wow the portion was so big and the lobster was delicious. the star of the show was the clam chowder! that was the BEST clam chowder I've had in my life. I still think about it and wish I could ship it hahaha. service was also stellar. the fish and chips was just a tad undercooked (not their fault, it was a huge piece of fish!) and our waitress was so accommodating to replace the whole plate quickly and apologize for the inconvenience. she also gave us some great recommendations for local bars to check out after our meal. every time I'm back in Boston I'm definitely coming back to Saltie Girl!

    Unfortunately, this was a disappointing experience. I made a reservation 30 days in advance to…read morecelebrate my engagement with my mother-in-law, so I was expecting a more memorable evening. Instead, we were seated in the bar area, which had a loud, club-like atmosphere and didn't feel like the right setting for a special occasion. The service also fell short. It was quite slow, a few of our items were forgotten, and our second glass of wine was served warm. The food itself was good, but considering the price point, I think there are plenty of other restaurants that offer equally good--or better--food with more attentive service and a more upscale dining experience. Overall, it just didn't feel worth the cost, especially for a celebration.
