What customers say?

“ Okay, disclaimer* we got the Fish Flight - 1 lobster, 1 crab and 1 shrimp. The shrimp and crab were served intentionally cold, and we’re from the Midwest so fish isn’t always on our dinner plate. We did not like it cold, would have been much much better warm in our opinion. The lobster was served warm and we loved it! The bread for the sandwiches were really buttery and therefore delicious. It was good for the snack we needed but probably wouldn’t order that again. Great pickles, healthy drink and not the worst ingredient chips! Loved the seating area and were enjoyed our time in the wharf munching on our local catches. ”

“ As we were figuring out where we can eat in the area on a busy Friday evening without reservations in a highly rated restaurant, Luke’s Lobster came up on a google map. After reading all the reviews i got interested and we decided to trade our wishful thinking of having a fancy dinner in to just getting the lobster rolls from this place for to go. And it didn’t disappoint!!! The lobster rolls were amazing, the portions were great, and the price ($40 for each oder that you see on the pictures) was reasonable. The Flight and the Mainer comes with a bag of chips and a drink which was a nice addition. I recommend trying the lemonade on one of my pictures. I typically drink nothing but water but this lemonade was very light and yummy. As we were like “oh, where are we going to sit down to eat these rolls”, the staff pointed to a few tables with umbrellas that they have for customers. Perfect service, perfect food, quick and satisfying! Great job, Luke’s Lobster! ”

“ I could see why this place has incredible reviews. Started off with the flight to try a little bit of everything and ended up going back that same night to get another truffle butter roll. The lobster roll was the best one I’ve had. Warmed up with butter was the goat. Id come back here any day of the week for another roll. The service was great, staff was nice and you get a drink and chips with your meal too. ”

“ The chilled 8 oz lobster roll was huge and delicious with fresh, large pieces of lobster. It was not too mayonnaise-y at all, as only the bun was coated with mayo and butter—which was also flavorful. The meal came with a side Cape Cod chips, choices being regular and salt & vinegar, and a drink. Pro-tip: try the Maine blueberry lemonade! ”

“ Busy area with lots of options to choose from, decided to try Luke’s as we didn’t really want to seat at a restaurant. You’ll order from the little window and seat across, they’ll bring you the food to the few tables they have. The lobster roll was magnificent, warm bread and buttery lobster, just the perfect texture and the right flavor. It comes with a delicious pickle, chips and a drink (try the blueberry lemonade). You can’t go wrong with ordering a cup of chowder, it was creamy and very appetizing. ”

“ I’m so glad I chose Luke’s Lobster for my lobster roll experience while in Newport! I added the hot honey butter and it was sooo good. Also great that each roll comes with chips & a drink. I also want to mention that I left a shopping bag at the communal sitting area and almost 2 hours later went back and they had my bag! I thought for sure it would be gone. Very friendly people and the perfect atmosphere. Highly recommend! ”

“ Absolutely the best lobster roll ! Fresh, tasty, portions were huge, full of flavor! We wandered into Bowen’s Wharf and found the quaint takeout with outdoor seating. We ordered and they delivered right to our table. A beautiful day and delicious meal. ”
