Luke’s Lobster

This play is worth trying if you love lobster, crab, and shrimp. The size of it is slightly smaller than a hot dog but they try to fit as much seafood in there as possible. They have three kinds and we tried it all! The bread was amazing! First dipped in butter then pan fried till golden. And the inside filled with lobster, crab, or shrimp. We loved it so much that we had to go back again right before we left. The only bad thing that I experienced about this place is that it is a little hard to find and can be pricy. Definitely worth trying though!

I love the lobster roll, the best lobster sandwich ever. Seriously, the best ever!!! I have had dreams about this thing! Huge chunks of fresh, sweet juicy lobster on a buttered roll that resembles texas toast. Great!!!
I also love, and I must say again, LOVE the stone crab claws! So delicious… Only three pieces to an order so it can get a little pricey to get full.
Location is the only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars. The outside small hut located in front of the Fashion Show Mall is extremely inconvenient to park and get to for us locals. Worst is the seating 3 or 4 small tables outside in the sun… Vegas… 110 degrees… and if the tables are full you have to stand and hold your food in the sun, no other seating options are even close by…

Simple, fresh and yummy! Ordered the lobster roll combo (with chips, pickle and a drink) and it was all I wanted and hoped for. The lobster was chunky and seasoned perfectly, and although the portions aren’t huge it was just enough to tide me over. Love the little shack set outside of Fashion Show Mall (by Nieman’s) and the patio seating, which is great for enjoying the sights and sounds of the Strip and people watching. Definitely a must eat, and it will for sure be our go to whenever we hit up Fashion Show again.

Awesome maine style lobster. Don’t come expecting a feast for the price, but expect good chunky pieces of delicious lobster, chilled on top of a crispy buttery sandwich. I definitely was full with the lobster roll and chips and drink combo but not stuffed.
I didn’t get to try LOBSTERME but I heard that place is Connecticut style with extra mayo and salad inside. This maine style is mostly lobster and no nonsense, elegant and delicious. Worth

It is right outside of the fashion show mall downstairs near the bridge after you walked across the bridge from Wynn.
Outdoor seating only! The place is very small. The outdoor seating only have 4 tables. I wouldn’t sit there on a summer day.
I ordered the lobster roll combo with a soup and chose Coleslaw over chips. They had two kinds of soup, clam chowder or lobster bisque. I picked clam chowder which I thought was just okay. It had big chunks of clams and it tasted good, but I felt the soup was a little watery for my taste. I would try the lobster bisque next time I am back in town. The Coleslaw comes in a small cup in your tray. The slaw is mustard based which I liked. The lobster roll was very very good! It was better than one of their other chain in New York City. I also went to their original store in New York and thought this place was just as good! I am glad they are able to maintain their quality. The drinks are all available in a fridge where you can pick what you want yourself after you have ordered and paid.
Service was great, nice and friendly. After I was done, but still drinking my soda, someone came and asked me if I was done and cleaned my tray for me. I thought that was nice because they didn’t have to do that.

What makes lobster rolls so amazing?
The buttered toasted bread filled with plump sweet lobster and creamy mayo.
This spot does all of the above perfectly. It was so good that I had one roll… then had to come back to try another. The crab roll was just as good!
The cashier recommended the shrimp roll too. He said they also have their own seafood processing company, so they can cut out the middle man and control quality more.
Well worth it! $ 17 bucks for lobster roll, $ 14 for crab, and $ 10 for shrimp. You can also order ½ sizes.

These were the best lobster rolls I’ve had in a long time! I bookmarked Luke’s Lobster after seeing the great reviews on Unilocal.
The lobster portions were generous and the lobster so sweet and tender. The rolls were perfectly toasted. We opted for the combination, which included a lobster roll, a cup of lobster bisque or clam chowder, bag of chips, beverage (selection of Maine root sodas was included), and a pickle. It was only $ 7 more for the combo bringing the total to $ 24 each.
There’s a little seating area next to this takeout restaurant. If I were in town longer, I’d definitely go back again.

I first had Luke Lobster in New York and it was by far the best thing I ever had.
I was shopping in Vegas, and happened to walk and see this little hut… I was like what does that say? Does that say Luke’s Lobster or am I dreaming??? And I was definitely not dreaming! I got really excited and RAN to go get some.
I had super high expectations because I first tried it from NYC and YES!!! They did not disappoint! I am truly happy!!!
Their hospitality was beyond belief, I felt like we were family!
Instead of a 5 hour flight to get to the east coast it’s only an hour flight away! This makes me happy!

Came here by accident, as we just missed the city bus, stop right in front, and glad that we did. Just outside of that major shopping centre by Wynn.
Not only was the lobster meat deleesh, but the bread that it was served on, so so pillowy soft. Worth the $ 15 US lol. It’s kinda like a kiosk, with a private terrace seating off the left. Back in December, it was a bit windy, so thank goodness for the heat lamps.
I’d recommend this place to any tourist, for something quick & yummy without sitting down at a fancy restaurant.

I can’t express enough how much I absolutely LOVE this place. My second visit and it did not disappoint AT ALL! That they’ve lowered their prices since my initial visit 6 – 7 weeks ago is a plus, too. If I could eat here daily… I would.
This time around I opted for the lobster roll only and I was stuffed by that alone.
I’ve realized the secret to eating here: go during the week after 5pm. The mall is dead & underground parking at Macys/​Neimans in the blue section make for an easy peasy in/​eat/​out experience. (The escalators by Macys/​Neimans/​Ann Taylor/​Bare Minerals is where I’m describing… entering parking garage from Spring Mountain at Macys… park on the right once you enter the garage in Blue section.)

I have been dying to try this place since they opened. But being a local I avoid the strip so by chance I was at the Sands for a convention and had to check off this Unilocal bookmark. I have had many a good lobster roll to include several in Maine. Luke’s lived out to the Maine lore by providing a delicious Lobster Roll.
The Lobster was plentiful and was sweet and fresh. The roll was slightly sweet and the added spice gave the roll an amazing taste. We got the combo to include Lobster bisque and one of their specialty drinks. It came out to $ 75 for the three of us but to me the Lobster Roll was worth every penny. The Lobster bisque was good but not in the same league as the Lobster Roll. Nice and creamy but a little too light on the Lobster and just didn’t have the great taste I expected.
Our meals came with bottled drinks from Maine. They were all very good and added to the overall experience. The highlight was definitely the Lobster Roll which I am still craving. Looks like a strip visit is in my near future. The staff was awesome and the service was perfect. This is a small stand on the lower level of the Fashion Show Mall facing the strip. It is a great location to people watch and take in the craziness that is the daily grind of the strip. Looking forward to my next Lobster Roll — thanks Luke’s!!!

Got the lobster roll and clam chowda bowl. Lobster roll was delicious. Had lots of huge pieces of lobster on a toasted buttery bun. Was a bit smaller than I had hoped though. Clam chowda bowl was filled to the brim (thanks!) and had lots of pieces of clam in it, big enough to taste (with an unlimited supply of oyster crackers). Was a great meal… probably my favorite, but I shared it with my husband since Lobster Rolls are so expensive, so I left semi sad, wanting more. :)
Five stars for the taste, but I wish it would be a bit cheaper (or larger).

Accidentally found this place while walking around Fashion Show looking for a place to eat! The boyfriend and I were just wandering around and couldn’t decide where to eat (none of the options in the food court appealed to us).
Then there it was, located in a cute little kiosk next to the Flip Flop Shop.
You walk up to the counter and after you order, you proceed to the outdoor, open-​sitting area that’s connected to the kiosk WITH a lovely view of the Strip.
The staff members were all very friendly and accommodating! Since it was our first time, they described the different types of rolls they offered and how each combo differentiated from one another.
We opted for the Noah’s Ark, since it was the recommended option for two people to share. It comes with two sets of lobster rolls, crab rolls, shrimp rolls, and a couple of crab claws. It’s perfect for when you’re on a date or if it’s your first time trying out the place. We were able to sample all their menu items through this order and they were all great! My favorite was the lobster roll (as expected with the name of the store, haha). The seafood was topped with a spice that added the perfect kick PLUS the rolls were melt-​in-​your-​mouth good with all their toasted buttery goodness.
However, as great as the crab and shrimp rolls were, I would probably order the lobster roll for next time. Noah’s Ark had great sample sizes but now that I know what I prefer, I would rather just eat a larger lobster roll.
They also have unique bottled drinks! So give those a try as well. Overall, it was pretty pricey for me but hey, paying for quality!

From what I understand, this is a very popular chain on the east coast and they recently added this location in front of the Fashion Show mall on the Vegas strip because why not. I am really hoping they make their way here to Seattle because their food is fantastic and would be a very interesting addition to our already bountiful seafood scene. They normally have really long lines at any of their locations but, since I was in Vegas during a cold stretch in January, I was able to walk right up with no waiting at all.
Their location is outside the mall in a super cool little space that has a small (heated) outdoor seating area that was just perfect for when I was there. The cold weather was not going to stop me from diving into what looked like a very promising meal. I ordered the crab roll, a cup of clam chowder, and a bottled root beer soda. All of their ingredients are sourced from very specific partnerships that they cultivate and maintain so you know you are getting the best and freshest ingredients available and you can really tell from the moment you take that first bite.
As I jumped head first into my sandwich, I was really impressed with the flavors and how everything went together perfectly. The toasty roll was held up really well and had a great balance with the pike of chilled crab meant that was stuffed into it. They serve it in a nice little holder that helps to keep everything from falling apart. The clam chowder was also really good with lots of fresh tasting ingredients and a good amount of clams which is often not the case depending on where you go.
I was able to chat with one of the ladies that worked here and found out she is originally from Washington state, I can’t remember where, and she would love to see Luke’s Lobster make it’s way up there as well. She was really fun to talk to and I learned a lot about the company as she was more than happy to sing their praises… I mean, in an honest way, not because she had to as an employee.

Las Vegas, the land of world-​class lobster rolls served out of a kiosk in front of a mall.
It really is just a kiosk – a counter and small adjacent seating area with five small tables. But don’t let that keep you away.
My husband and I got to the register and had a little panic over what to order – taste of Maine? Noah’s ark? The man taking our order walked us through the various options and was super friendly and helpful… didn’t rush us at all.
We settled on the Noah’s ark ($ 52), which features a lobster roll, crab roll, shrimp roll, two pickles, and four crab claws with cocktail sauce, all divided evenly into two baskets, plus your choice of two bags of chips (Cape Cod kettle cooked potato chips – regular or sea salt and vinegar) and two drinks (bottled water, Main Root soda, or Luke’s Maine blueberry lemonade).
The combo gives you a nice amount of food for each person. If you’re starving, I guess you might want more, but I couldn’t finish everything. The rolls are simple – toasted white roll, a bit of mayo, piled with shellfish, topped with drawn butter and a sprinkle of seasoning. Great bread-​to-​shellfish ratio, and plenty of butter, but not too much of anything to overpower the seafood. So delicious! There’s Sriracha and shakers of seasoning on the tables, but you totally don’t need it.
Maine root sodas are great – made with organic, cane juice. I opted for blueberry, because, you know, Maine. No flavors or anything, just blueberry juice. The lemonade is made with wildflower honey.
Pickle was totally meh – not crisp, but that’s my biggest complaint, which is saying something!
I love that they have a chalkboard telling you where that day’s lobster, crab, and shrimp came from.
The service was consistently excellent, from the person who took our order to the one who came by to check on us while we were eating.
Prices certainly aren’t cheap, but it’s Las Vegas, and you’re getting great quality, delicious seafood. Don’t miss it!

Did I really pay $ 22 for a lobster roll and &18 for a crab roll? Oh, there was two drinks and two bags of chips with it too. Wow. So over priced. I know it’s on the Strip and geared towards tourists, but come on man.
Any who… The rolls were excellent. The lobster and crab tasted sweet and fresh. I like the fact that it wasn’t drowned in mayo and you could taste the meat. There is a small patio area where you eat at. It wasn’t busy when I was there, but I can imagine it would be hard to find a seat if there is more than 15 people in there.
I recommend that you stop by and try a roll here. It’s not something I would spend the money on every day, but now I can scratch it off my list.

Located on the grounds of the Fashion Show Mall on our fabulous Las Vegas Strip, the only reason I say on the grounds is because it’s outside in front, it’s a pod. Directly in front of Neiman Marcus, if your not on foot and park in the garage it’s about a 7 – 9 minute walk through the mall.
My experience at Lukes was meh. It’s a Subway style packaged meal with a free drink and a bag of chips. At least our meal was, I ordered the «Taste of Maine» for $ 27 (thier website says $ 24). It’s 3 small rolls of shrimp, crab, lobster, 2 crab claws and a pickle (they forgot my pickle). The seafood isn’t mixed with mayo or other crap which is awesome, I like it raw dogs, and they give you cocktail sauce on the side.
The lobster was really good, it was the best of the three rolls. The crab I felt was ground up to much as there was no chunks at all. The shrimp was OK, bay shrimp. IMO for $ 27 the quantity was not enough, I walked out sill hungry. And aside from them dropping your food, you do all the work, it’s fast food.
It’s outdoor seating which was fine but when it gets over 100 degrees I don’t know if I’d be out here or anyone else would for that matter. It’s a tourist trap, I am not a cheapskate but I went with wifey and spent almost $ 50 on lunch and we were still hungry. The guy that took my order was extremely friendly though, and if your in a rush it’s a quick expensive meal.

Is it 11:00 a.m. yet? How about now? Or now?
When you start your day figuring out what to do in the a.m. until Luke’s finally opens at 11:00, you know their lobster rolls are delicious. The split top roll was buttered and toasted perfection, and the chilled, succulent lobster was bursting with briny perfection. Add a side of Cape Cod potato chips and a Maine Root blueberry soda, and your day just can’t get much better.
The staff here was so friendly and outgoing. Especially Lisa! They absolutely contributed to how much I enjoyed this little shack outside the Fashion Mall.

3.5 stars
A little too salty for me!
My friend and I shared the Taste of Maine ($ 24): ½ lobster roll, ½ crab roll, ½ shrimp roll, 2 crab claws, drink, chips and a pickle. Mind you, portion size is very small, but not out of the ordinary for seafood rolls. I think it’s a good value because you don’t have to fully commit to one type of roll and have later regrets if it doesn’t taste the way you expected it to.
My favorite out of the three was the shrimp roll — not too overdressed and had a sweet, shrimp flavor to it. My least favorite was the crab roll which was a tad too pungent in smell/​flavor.
We also added a side of clam chowder — good! But after a few bites, it became too, too salty.
Luke’s Lobster is in Vegas is great. It satiated my desire to eat at its New York location, and inevitably, saved me a meal on my next trip to New York.

If I want a good lobster roll, this is where I go. Yeah, it is on the strip, but it is easily accessible from the smelly underground parking at Fashion Show Mall. Park in the red parking and go up the stairs to the outside restaurant area like you were going to Maggianos or RA Sushi. If you stay at street level and walk a little farther South, Luke’s is a stand alone shack like place. You order at the counter and there is seating underneath the bistro string lights. Everything is completely outdoors, so be prepared for the weather!
What I love most is how fresh the seafood is, which is amazing considering we are hundreds of miles from an ocean. Also, seafood is the main focus, without being overwhelmed by sauce. The buttery, soft bread compliments the seafood well. I got the sampler, which are half sized portions of lobster roll, crab roll, and shrimp roll. My favorite was the lobster roll and I would get a full roll of this next time.
It’s pretty pricey, but to be expected on the strip. Kind of nice to sit and watch the pretty lights of the Wynn and Palazzo and random passersby.
