Review:

Luke's Lobster has been an East Village standard since 2009, and has racked up print and digital accolades ever since, even winning the Today Show’s “Best Lobster Roll” contest. Founder Luke Holden is building a veritable lobster shack dynasty, and Washington, D.C., is the beneficiary of a Penn Quarter location.

What makes this restaurant unique is their ability to partner with fishermen they know sans middlemen, and therefore trace sustainable catches to their source. Diners at Luke’s can expect top-of-the-line bisques and chowders; their famous lobster, crab, and shrimp rolls; chilled crab claws and lobster tail; and seasonal favorites like lobster grilled cheese and Wild Blue lobster tail salad.
