Luke's lobster first opened its doors in the East Village in 2009. They now bring traceable sustainable seafood to guests across the country. serve seafood straight from the source, prepared pure and simple, without the filler. Luke's pairs seafood with chowders and bisques, Maine-style sides, local desserts, natural sodas, and local microbrews (where the law lets them). And they work with partners who uphold our commitment to sourcing superior, sustainable ingredients and strive to support other small businesses, many of which are based in Maine or local to the cities where Luke's has opened shacks. Some say the lobster rolls are the gold standard at all 12 outposts throughout Manhattan.
