Maine-style lobster rolls, clam chowder, and seafood specials
"Maybe you’re high up enough in a building to see when people are sailing in the Bay some days, and maybe those thoughts of sailing somehow made you want a lobster roll. Conveniently for you and your wandering mind, Luke’s Lobster is close by. This place does buttered, Maine-style lobster rolls with toasted, top-split buns. They also make clam chowder too, if you really want a bowl of soup for lunch, but know that eating it at your desk would look just a little bit sad." - taylor abrams, jess basser sanders, will kamensky
"Also in SoMa, Luke Lobster similarly refuses to remove lobster from the menu, stating that the concerns about lobster sustainability are being addressed and thus they will keep serving it." - Paolo Bicchieri
"At Luke’s Lobster in SoMa, I was told the $35 price for the shop’s 6-ounce lobster roll is partly justified because the company avoids middlemen and works directly with fishermen." - Lauren Saria
"Luke’s Lobster in Soma is a solid spot to check out when you want to break up the monotony of lunch at work. This is a mini-chain from New York that specializes in east coast seafood, like clam chowder and - you guessed it - lobster rolls. The lobster in the rolls is chilled and served with butter in a New England-style, top-split hot dog bun. They’ll run you about $20, but you’re actually getting a lot of lobster for what you pay. Is it a little goofy? Yes. Do you really need to eat lobster for lunch? Probably not. But if you miss the east coast or wore a thick turtleneck to work, you could find yourself in the not-so-common mood for a lobster roll, and Luke’s has you covered." - Will Kamensky
"At 92 2nd Street, the new Luke's Lobster opens with steamed lobster, crab, and shrimp tucked into soft, buttered rolls, plus clam chowder and other New England classics served in a casual but classy, East-meets-West Coast atmosphere." - Janelle Bitker
