Best Lobster Roll Ever!
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive, centered around an absolutely incredible lobster roll. I can honestly say it's the best I've ever had in my entire life, featuring meaty and buttery pieces. I also tried the truffle butter, which was amazing. The staff were incredibly kind and cool. My only minor complaint is about the chairs, but otherwise, everything was perfect! I'm so impressed that I'm begging them to open a location in Toronto so I can eat there every day!

Delicious Bisque and Great Service!
My experience was fantastic! I picked up food via the TooGoodToGo app and had the lobster bisque and clam chowder, which were absolutely delicious. The lobster bisque was particularly very, very good. I was extremely pleased with the food. When I went to pick up my order, the staff member was very pleasant, nice, and had good energy. He even gave me a free water, which was very nice. Thank you! I will definitely be returning to your restaurant again, this time to sit in and enjoy the ambience. Can't wait to see you guys soon.

Solid Lobster Rolls and Seafood Variety
I visited this casual spot for lunch on a Sunday, and it was completely empty. The ordering process is straightforward: order at the counter, find a seat, and your food is brought to you. We tried the lobster roll flight and the seafood roll flight, each featuring three 2oz half rolls. Both flights came with a bag of chips and a soft drink. The lobster meat was fresh and well-seasoned across all flavors, and the portions were quite generous. The brioche buns were soft and fluffy. The kids were also pleased with the assortment of seafood rolls.

Amazing Lobster, Worth the DoorDash!
My experience was through DoorDash, and the food was still amazing. The bread was perfectly crunchy and sweet :)). I added my own flair with trout caviar and king salmon lox. The lobster was super scrumptious and surprisingly tender. It was NOT flaky/sandy/gritty, which is a common issue with lobster places due to bad quality or poor cooking. Thank goodness we have this spot in SF!

Great Lobster Roll, Missed Topping
My experience at the restaurant involved enjoying the classic Luke's lobster roll. Unfortunately, I realized too late, on my last bite, that I had forgotten to add the white truffle butter, which was an option I noticed. : (Key aspects of my experience: * Food Quality: The lobster roll itself was enjoyable. * Missed Opportunity: I regretted not adding the white truffle butter.

Expensive and Disappointing Lobster Rolls
My experience at this restaurant was TOTALLY not worth it. We spent $100 for two people, and I was still subjected to the staff’s attitude just to use the restroom. The meal consisted of two lobster rolls, two clam chowders, plus two drinks and chips, all for a hundred bucks. To make matters worse, the lobster rolls were cold, everything was self-service, and they still had the audacity to ask for a tip at checkout. I believe you’d be much better off just buying pre-packaged ones from Whole Foods and making them yourself – they are tastier and cheaper!!!!

Sumptuous Lobster Roll Worth Every Penny
My experience at the restaurant was centered around a truly sumptuous lobster roll. The butter-flavored brioche was generously filled with a substantial amount of fresh lobster meat. I appreciated that it wasn't overly seasoned, allowing the original lobster savoriness to shine through. While the price is on the higher side, it felt worth it considering the large portion and the quality of the lobster. It was, without a doubt, the best lobster roll I have ever had.

Best Lobster Roll in the Bay Area!
My experience at Luke's Lobster in SOMA has been consistently fantastic. I've visited multiple times over the past six months, and it's always a great experience. Today, I had the 8oz lobster roll, and it was perfect, just like every other time. The lobster is incredibly sweet and succulent, easily the freshest-tasting lobster I've found in the Bay Area. The toasted, buttery bun is the perfect complement to the lobster. If you're craving a genuine, high-quality lobster roll, this is definitely the spot. I can't recommend it enough!

Amazing Gluten-Free Options & Friendly Staff!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely wonderful. It's an amazing place for a quick but hearty meal. I was particularly impressed that they offer gluten-free buns and even in multiple sizes! The staff was also incredibly friendly throughout my visit.

Fresh Seafood and Great Atmosphere
Luke Lobster consistently delivers fresh seafood, and the staff are friendly. The atmosphere is great, and the space is quite nice. If you want to have seafood, just come to Luke Lobster. I wanted to eat seafood, so I came here. Luke Lobster has stores in towns across various states. You can tell the ingredients are fresh, and the seasoning is just right. The dining environment is also very good! Recommended.
