Luke's Lobster Rittenhouse

Lobster rolls here are the real deal—generous chunks of lobster on a perfectly toasted bun. The Maine-style flavor transports you straight to the coast. I can’t help but order a side of clam chowder every time.

Absolutely loved our visit to Luke’s Lobster in Portland! Our server, Nick, greeted us right away and was super polite and quick with our drinks. The lobster roll was incredible!! Fresh bread, perfectly seasoned, and packed with delicious lobster. We also tried the lobster flight and were equally impressed. If you’re in Portland, this place is a must-try!

Luke's Lobster is THE best lobster spot on the east coast. I've been to many major lobster spots from Philly, Boston, NYC, CT. Nothing tops the trio. It's a top 5 choice compared to any restaurant in the USA. No joke.

Lobster Roll - 5/5

I’ve been coming to Luke’s for years because it’s one of those things that I just get a craving for. Unfortunately I’m writing this review only moments after finishing what was edible from my meal, with hopes to make Luke’s Lobster aware of the lack of quality control in the restaurant.

I typically get a 6 or 8 oz lobster roll. Today I was famished so I went for the 8 ounce roll warmed up with a side of coleslaw. This typically takes only a few minutes to come out but the kitchen seemed like it had a few additional orders so all in all it took about 15 minutes to get my warm lobster roll. A little long in my mind but I thought nothing of it.

I immediately walked from the restaurant with my food back to my car which was only about 20 yards or so away, and prepared to dig in. Somehow the roll was already extremely soggy and saturated with liquid. It also was barely toasted. The lobster was over cooked and had NO SEASONING except for Luke’s blend on top and on top of everything else there was 3 large shells in my roll. My experience this time around for this $60 meal was extremely disappointing and disheartening.

As I said before I am a huge Luke’s supporter and have sent so many people to this particular restaurant and raved about the quality of the food. Please get some quality control behind the counter so that things can go back to how they were before! If I had the courage to go back inside, I would’ve totally asked for my money back.

Food is great, but you are paying a premium for the lobster meat compared to someone who grew up eating lobster in Maine. Service is very kind and generous!

This place is the epitome of a perfect lobster roll—simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Don’t stop at just one! The crab and shrimp rolls are equally impressive, and for the full experience, go for the flight of all three. You won’t regret it.

I was underwhelmed with the flavor of the lobster rolls at Luke’s Lobster. I tried the lobster roll flight, which was supposed to feature three different flavors of butter on each of the mini lobster rolls. I found all three to be very lacking in taste. The lobster itself was bland, though there were large chunks of it. The three varieties of butter added very little to the rolls. I didn’t even detect the mayo or lemon that was supposed to be on the rolls, and definitely no “secret seasoning.” Perhaps the secret seasoning was such a secret that it disappeared from my food. The bread was the most flavorful aspect. The lobster bisque was the best part of my meal, though it wasn’t a standout compared to other lobster bisques I’ve had. It too lacked any depth of flavor. The overall vibe of the experience is a little confusing to me: I paid over $60 for a counter-serve, fast casual meal for one person. I understand lobster is pricey, but the overall experience should match that cost. With that being said, the employees were friendly and the food was ready promptly. The restaurant also seemed very clean.

Ended up in the ER with food poisoning a few hours after eating the lobster flight two days ago. Horrible experience. Might want to check your seafood supply.
