Whilst in DUMBO we shared a lobster roll priced at $24. It was fresh, tasty and a great snack before a late lunch. Would defo have another if visiting New York again. Service was speedy, but didn’t come with a smile.

I had been wanting to try the famous Lobster Roll at Luke's Lobster since the beginning of the trip, both because I had never tried such a dish and because the place came highly recommended.
What can I say, the sandwiches are great (I had both the lobster and crab rolls) but, as I have seen throughout the Northeast, they also cost quite a bit in my opinion. And it was a shame because, during my trip, I would have liked to eat a lot more but for the pockets of an Italian it is not a feasible thing unfortunately.
However, if you don't mind spending $60 for two sandwiches, enjoy!

This lobster roll was amazing! I’ve never eaten a chilled lobster roll but I was NOT disappointed. They also offer warm lobster rolls but I wanted to try the classic roll since that is what they are famous for. Even my 9 year old son loved it. They also have other options for kids like grilled cheese and hot dogs. Although it was a tad pricey for my budget it was well worth it and I’ll definitely be back to try other flavors. The cashier that served me name was Asia and she made ordering for a first timer easy and fun. The only downside was there was no restroom available but there are public restrooms half a block away at a place called timeout market. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Tourists alert! Definitely a scam for tourists. Do not eat here.
1) the menu says it comes with chips and soda but the staff insists that we need to pay an extra $2 for that. I saw the other “locals” have their chips and soda but not us. I asked the “locals” and they told me the set comes with these. This is clearly a scam and DISCRIMINATION.
2) These lobsters are cold and tasteless. You cannot tell if they are lobsters if you are doing a blind test
3) This is a lobster roll flight with 2oz each. You can tell from the picture that one of them is obviously not but below 2oz.

We bought the lobster rolls and took two of the bigger ones and two of the smaller ones. Altough the taste was quite good it didn't justify the price you had to pay for a family of four, including soft drinks. I think the never ending stream of tourist walking over Brooklyn Bridge is what makes it going with those prices.

This delightful little takeaway restaurant (not quite, as there are some tables and chairs on one side of the brick building) does lobster, crab and seafood. It sits in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge on the Brooklyn side.
The menu is reasonably limited but attractive. We spotted it on the way in from walking over the Brookly Bridge and made sure we asked when it would stay open till so that we could tailor our itinerary to come back in time to eat here.
All I can say is that I have eaten a lot of lobster in my life and this was up there with the best. Fresh claw meat and what seemed generous amounts for a 4oz lobster roll. Good dressing too. Came with a bag of crisps (American chips).
We ate at one of the tables, although you have the option to take it away and there are some nice picnic areas very close by. The signal for the food being ready was a pager buzzing, whereupon you go to the service window and pick the food up.
Not ultra-cheap but quite reasonable for what it is and where it is.
Highly recommended.

Crazy to say the least, to try with a quick lunch! Classic bread they use for hot dishes, warmed up and stuffed with lobster or crab.
Truly exceptional, small is good because it's plentiful, it's expensive but it's still fish and we're in New York.

The small portion of lobster tasted good in a micro sized bun. I ordered wine and got a plastic glass filled with Rose which tasted sour. Cost was over $30. Not worth it.

I came because I like lobster, and I was in the area. I decided to get a crab roll, the lobster Mac and lobster bisque. I had had about three or four lobster rolls in the last few days, so I wasn't especially impressed by this place. The crab roll was nothing special, not overly flavorful. The lobster mac was more creamy than cheesy, and also not super tasty. The bisque was probably the best flavor-wise, but I didn't love it either. I understand they might go light on the seasoning so that you can really taste the seafood. But, nothing really stood out to me as amazing. The portion size was good for a snack, or if, like me, you want to try a little of everything.
I also remember now that I've been to the location in Vegas and I wasn't impressed by it either. Would recommend going to other lobster places if you're craving lobster.

Delicious lobster, crab or shrimp rolls with chunks of fish on each. Cute little shop right down from the ferry stop in DUMBO. Quick service and great staff. Would highly recommend.

Pathetic
Over priced hotdog @$10 not worth half that price. Quality not fit for a dog. Pathetic. I would not give them the pleasure of eating the crap and handed it back even I paid for it.
Go elsewhere.

After a fascinating walk from SoHo across the Brooklyn Bridge we arrived in DUMBO, Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass. Time to eat lunch and right there was this small quaint place called Luke's. OMG - One of the best things I have ever eaten! A "White Truffle Lobster Roll." I hated finishing it wanting it to last forever. I understand there is another one at Union Square and will most likely stop there while in that area exploring NYC!
We were both so glad that the Cafe next door was closed or we would never have found this NY treasure!
The staff was so friendly.

I was here today and was so pleasantly surprised how good it was. I had the lobster roll. I loved that I could get it without mayo which was wonderful. It was so tasty and light. I would definitely go back. The service was very speedy and they were very nice. I thought it was the best lobster roll I ever had. I will be back for sure.

We'd saved Luke's to be our lunch before leaving and what a great way to leave Brooklyn.
The view comes as standard but the lobster was fresh and so tasty
We loved it

Thanks Luke’s Lobster, for spoiling me with what possible was the best lobster role I had and probably will eat. Simply delicious! My wife and oldest son loved it too!
Two points of feedback though: your staff could be more friendly, and maybe it’s a good idea to not have a whiteboard in full sight that shows all weekly sales with a big $ sign next to it. The numbers of week 28 where our in the open, as a courtesy, I will keep them to myself. But I can imagine there might be competitors out there that would love to know…
