Reviews for Luke's Lobster Bethesda in Bethesda, MD
First time here and came during Covid, I loved the outdoor seating and the service was great! I got the trio which comes with (I... think 2 oz of) lobster, shrimp, and crab - and my husband got the 6oz of crab. The seafood was hands down super fresh and niceportions; absolutely no fillers whatsoever. But you do get what you pay for because it?s almost $20 for our rolls alone, plus aside and drink - you could be at almost $30. And for those who don?t know, like me, I was told after the fact that these are?Maine style? which is normally served cold. I?m sad to take one star away because it was almost ?too pure? in the sense thatthey had (or it tasted like) no mayo, butter, or seasoning - so we had to grab some old bay, salt, etc to flavor it it up.

The last time I had Luke?s Lobster was in Tokyo, Japan more than a year ago. Since moving back stateside, I?ve been hankering... for a lobster roll from them for a while. The customer service at the Bethesda location is the BEST I?ve had anywhere inAmerica period. Super friendly professional staff. And the lobster rolls were generously filled IMO. I had ordered two butwas only able to finish one 6 oz roll before feeling a food hangover coming on. Read more
Lobster roll is delicious! Bread, lobster, and sauce are perfect cooked. Staff is super friendly. Nice atmosphere.
The friendly staff went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the food and drink, we felt so welcomed and cared for, we would... definitely come back and visit this store again! Wish I had ask for his name, this visit was on 3/14 around 3pm. He made ourfirst visit to the BethesdaRow extra special! And of course love the lobster roll! Meats are fresh, roll was crispy, I can?t getenough! Read more
We tried the trio and loved it. The guys working there are friendly and everything tasted fresh. Will definitely visit again.... The portion size is relatively large. Read more
I ordered the trio and it was delicious! I was visiting from Texas for a conference and any time I try a new place I read the... bad reviews 1st. The biggest complaints were size, price and flavor. I will admit even though I read it was small, I was stillsurprised by the size lol however, it was delicious and for the fresh seafood the price isn't outrageous. I ordered lunch andhad it delivered by door dash for both days I was there. The 1st time I didnt see the melted butter until I was finished so Iwanted to try it with the butter the next day. The 1st day I also ordered the slaw and side salad which were ok but I didn'torder them the 2nd day. I posted the picture with my thumb for size reference...each half sandwich is approximately slider size.I'm happy I gave it a chance. Read more
I had heard a lot about Luke's and expected a lot from their lobster roll. I got the lobster roll combo with lobster corn... chowder. First, the best part was the beer. 2nd, I tasted nothing from the roll itself. The bread was mushy as if it had beensitting in a wet environment and the meat had zero flavor. It was like eating bread with chewy stuff. The soup tasted like itcame from a bag and had little to no lobster in it. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with this disappointed considering itclaims to excel in their lobster roll game but definitely falls short. This place would've received 1 star if it weren't for thedecent service. Read more
More a 4.5 stars Excellent, fresh seafood! We got Luke's Trio: shrimp, lobster, and crab on these small buns. All of the... seafood was fresh and tasty, though it was a bit strange eating seafood on bread ????. Will mostly come back just for theseafood. We did an online order and pickup, and the order was ready on time. Interaction with the staff was limited, but thelady was friendly and quick in handing over the order. An interesting thing to note is that the pickle came in its own separatebaggie. I thought it was clever to isolate the juicy pickle from the buns. As a last note, they gave us a Lobsta Mobsta card,one of those hole-punch cards where six visits equals a $10 reward. Sadly, it seems this first visit was not included, sincethey didn't give us a hole-punch. Read more
