A great spot to get more affordable and delicious lobster rolls. It's fast-casual style with some seating inside. I got the 4oz lobster roll served warm. It came with your choice of kettle chips and assorted drinks. The lobster was plump, fresh, and juicy. I loved how buttery the roll was. There was a perfect amount of mayo and seasoning to complement but not overpower the lobster. I also tried the shrimp roll, which was tasty but came with very small shrimps. read more

I came to Boston with the intention of trying a lobster roll and this place did not disappoint. I'm from Long Island NY, and usually lobster rolls at seafood restaurants cost in the neighborhood of $40, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that their 14 oz. roll was only $28. On the wall they also have the specific source of the day which is cool. Yesterday I had lobster from Port Hood, Canada. It came stuffed full of chilled lobster meat, soaked in lemony butter on a toasted buttery bun. I devoured the whole thing in like two minutes- it was heavenly!!! The meat was so sweet and decadent, and the spices they sprinkled on top complimented the whole sandwich perfectly. I was delighted to find that they have a few locations in New York City as well... didn't realize they'd spread out so much! Will definitely be visiting my local Luke's Lobster again this summer!!! read more

Skip the lobster rolls at Quincy Market...Luke's Lobster Downtown Crossing is on another level. The lobster roll was outstanding: fresh, light, and perfectly balanced with just a hint of zest. Not overly buttery like the ones you'll find at tourist traps, you can truly taste the freshness of the lobster. The pieces were generous and meaty, and the flavor was absolutely out of this world. I'm not usually a crab fan, but I tried their crab roll as well and was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious. The space itself is small but very clean, with fast and efficient service. I highly recommend Luke's Lobster. Hands down, the best lobster roll I've ever had. read more

I order the shrimp, crab, and lobster roll flight! The sandwiches were small, but tasted very good! All three were chilled and tasted fresh Boston seafood! The meal came with your choice of drink and chips! I was pleasantly surprised to see that their drink options were in-house sodas and lemonade! I paired the rolls with a crunch sea salt and vinegar chip making a great lunch for right around $30. The ambiance was small but clean and comfortable! The location is fantastic being in the heart of downtown boston and very walkable to many hotels, and shopping. I would highly recommend Luke's Lobster to locals and travelers! read more

Luke's Lobster / Boston, MA - Chowder 4.5 - Lobster Roll 4.75 - Atmosphere 4 Chowder is thick and very flavorful with lotsa' fresh clams and right amount of potato and some corn. Excellent. Excellent Lobster roll. Split top griddled hot dog bun, and tons of fresh lightly dressed lobster. Points off for no celery, cause I like celery in my roll. Also there a distinct Old Bay seasoning taste to the rolls which I personally enjoy but some might not. But honesty almost perfect. Also wish chips were included (update may 2025 - chips and pickle now included) Cuute modern nautical but not "ye old fish shack" space and best of all Maine Root blueberry soda A very decent urban lobster roll experience. All that and blueberry soda!!! read more

The gluten free roll is the best GF bread I have ever eaten in the last 20yrs. The lobster bisque was also gluten free, which was a treat because usually there's flour in soups for thickening. I got the crab roll on GF bun, which was excellent especially dipped in the bisque...and we also ordered the lobster roll sampler with clam chowder. All our meals came with chips and a drink. This place was our first stop, I hope we come back soon! read more

Tried this spot while visiting Boston and absolutely loved their food. I tried their lobster roll flight that had shrimp, lobster and crab and it was so delicious and flavorful. I wish I had another one for home. Service was pretty quick, got the food within 10 mins of ordering. They have some seating space inside and overall a very casual ambiance. read more

First time in Boston and went straight for the lobster and clam chowder. Luke's did not disappoint, the lobster rolls were fresh and that buttery toasted bun made it even better. The clam chowder was amazing and was a perfect way to end the day. Luke's a small spot with a cozy atmosphere and quiet ambiance. Last the service was quick and simple. Highly recommended. read more

I came here during my visit to Boston. My wife and I tried this place based on the good reviews and close proximity to our hotel. The food was good but not great and the prices were on the pricier side for small portioned lobster and Crab rolls. I don't think I'd go back to try it again. read more

Had the lobster roll and it was delicious--although the lobsters are actually sourced from Canada not Maine where they are originally from. The roll is served cold by default, but if you prefer it hot, you can ask for that (for an extra $1). It also comes as a set with a soft drink and a bag of chips, though there's no option to opt out if you don't want them. The shop is quite small, but we had no trouble finding a table since it wasn't busy when we arrived. Staff were super friendly and welcoming, which added to the experience. Great spot for a quick and tasty seafood fix. read more

So the best lobster rolls in boston are the ones I make myself, lol, but Luke's is always my #1 recommendation for lobster rolls in Boston (at an outside establishment). The price is fair and they are very tasty. I don't know what the seasoning blend is, but I love it. I work at a hotel and I regularly send people here instead of the usual spots with exhorbitante prices. read more

Absolutely delicious lobster roll! Toasted bun loaded with lobster and butter that melts in your mouth. Well worth the price!

Semi-full on a Wednesday at 2 PM. The interior looks like a sandwich chain, but clean and warm. Prices were in line for what I was paying for lobster rolls elsewhere, and I felt like it was a good value. Service was friendly and efficient. I got the seafood roll flight (one mini 2 oz. roll each of shrimp, lobster, and crab) and loved each one. This ended up being my favorite lobster roll in Boston (though I confess I only tried 1 other spot) and I came back later in my trip for the lobster roll flight. The lobster both times was sweet and perfectly accented with drawn butter and Luke's seasoning (a celery salt mix that was like Old Bay with no paprika). The truffle and hot honey variations were also very good, but the classic is the classic for a reason. Not sure if their quality is the same at all their other locations nation- and worldwide, but at least here in Boston, they're an easy choice. read more

We got a lobster and crab roll. The lobster roll was amazing! I have no complaints. It is served cold with warmed lemon butter. You can get a different type of butter got a small up charge. The crab roll was also served the same way. It was good but we could pieces of hard shell in the crab so be careful. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive. They were very kind and had some good suggestions. Food was served quickly. Ambiance was that of a fast food restaurant. It is in a touristy area. Every thing was amazingly clean. The seats were comfortable. They offer recycling and a gender neutral bathroom. It was a good fast place to get a lobster roll. read more

Basic clean little seafood chain. The lobster isn't the "traditional" mayo and celery one but it was enough for a tourist try. The clam chowder was good and had clams in almost every bite. The takeout was quick and easy, and the ladies at the counter were friendly enough. read more

This is a fast casual restaurant. We placed our order with the cashier and then chose a table. Service was great and fast. And the food was delicious. I got the seafood flight so I was able to try all the rolls. The lobster was the best and the crab was a close second. The shrimp was good but not as good as the other two. I know that lobster rolls are typically served cold but I do prefer it to be warm (which costs extra). read more

When in Boston, naturally I had to try a lobster roll! I ordered the honey lobster roll per the recommendation of the cashier and it was very good. There was an amazing amount of lobster piled on!

A great value for lobster in Boston! We ordered the Lobster Sampler and absolutely loved the lemon butter--definitely the standout flavor. The meal comes with chips and a drink, making it a way better deal than Row 34. There was a slight preservative taste, possibly from the bread, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. The lobster was fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. For an affordable and satisfying lobster roll, Luke's is a fantastic choice. Would eat here again! read more

Having had a great experience in our last visit to Boston, we were looking forward to visiting Luke's again. Very disappointing. Portions were smaller and lacking taste. Maybe they sacrificed quality for growth. Won't go back. read more

The lobster rolls here are great! I like that there's a lobster roll flight because I wanted to try just a bit of each flavor. Out of the flight, my friend and I most enjoyed the lemon butter and truffle butter. The spicy honey was a little too sweet in my opinion and masked the lobster taste. We also got an order of the clam chowder which was good but not the best I've ever had. It's a small shop with a couple of tables but should be enough seating since many people get to-go or eat fast. read more

4 Stars honestly it's that good! Lobster Rolls is ultimately perfect when visiting Massachusetts to satisfy my cravings. Got the Warm Butter Roll and a bag of chips. They got this packed with meat, and everything tastes exactly as you would expect. The Lobster Roll was fresh and full of chunks of meat, and the bun was so buttery, such a nice treat. There were six in the group, all six of us wanted a NE Clam Chowder, unfortunately none of us got one as they were already sold out during the lunch hour. There were no leftovers, and this was a perfect size lunch before going ice skating and not having food coma. Everyone's food looked really good. We were all in the mood for Lobster Rolls, and for next time if I'm in town, will try to come in earlier for the clam chowder. They also have a restroom which was super clean and available for customers. Service is quick and it's a very low key casual restaurant so you'll most likely eat messy while enjoying good comfort food! read more

I loved this place!!! The service was 100 stars, of the charts excellent!!! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. When you purchase a drink, they tell you to grab one out of the fridge, if you don't like it bring it back and switch it out. These aren't fountain drinks either, these are bottled drinks! What an amazing concept!!! I ordered the trio on GLUTEN-FREE bread. I was amazed how such a small place with limited menu catered to gluten-free customers! Again, I was impressed! The overall quality of the seafood wasn't spectacular, but it was good for the price. A bit overseasoned for me. I'm not sure about parking since we stopped here after a walking tour. Price are to be expected for the cruisine and the touristy area. I would still eat here because overall I had a fabulous experience! read more

Delicious. I used to think the lobster roll back home in Milwaukee at the Milwaukee Public Market was good but not any more. If the lobster roll here is a standard, then any lobster roll I've had anywhere outside of Boston is just not at all right. Their crab roll was even better, but the name of the place is Luke's Lobster. The clam chowder is excellent, service is friendly and prompt. Prices are a tad high so be mentally prepared for it, and the only diet drink they have besides water is Diet Coke. The lobster bisque looked and smelled so good I was tempted to steal it from the woman near me but I thought that might start an incident. Still, I thought about it more than a little. An easy walk from the Omni, it's as much a MUST VISIT as any of the nearby historic sites. read more

ORDERED - luke's truffle lobster roll Staff here were so wonderful. They gave great recommendations and were really kind as we had 5 separate orders. There was a menu above the counter, physical menus on the counter and QR codes to the menu all around the place so they make it quite accessible for you to know what's available. I got the TRUFFLE LOBSTER ROLL and it was SO GOOD. Upon first look, I thought to myself "yikes, this roll is kinda small" however, after eating and leaving super full, my mind changed and it was in fact not that small of a roll! If you're a truffle person, I highly recommended getting the truffle roll. If you're undecided, get the TRIO! read more

This was our last hurrah before our flight home and it did not disappoint! Glad they have smaller portions so we can sample every flavored! We had a game plan. The 4 of us, each couple, would get the Luke's Trio and the Lobster Roll Flight. Just looking at the picture of all our rolls makes me smile. Luke's Trio: Lobster rolls, Crab roll, and shrimp roll at 2 oz each Lobster Roll Flight: lemon butter, spicy honey, truffle at 2 oz each. The combos comes with a bag of Cape cod chips and each couple also shared a clam chowder. It was a delicious and wonderful way to end our trip ! Til next time Luke's ! read more
