Great location at the end of the pier. The owner is manning the front desk, and is a very extroverted guy, perfect. The restaurant is busy, tell him you'll take "First available" and you'll get in faster. We had a terrific waitress, the food was...excellent, and we full enjoyed our experience here. Highly recommended. A short walk (5 minutes) from the spot where the cruisers get off the boat. You have to try the lobster roll, and get the 8 inch, not the shorter version. Well worth the walk over.More

We had a wonderful visit to Luke’s while our cruise ship was docked in Portland. The Lobster roll was very good and the French fries were excellent but the absolute best was the Fried Haddock.

Awesome environment and excellent food. It was so hard to pick from so many delicious options. Everyone really enjoyed what they ordered and our 2 year old loves drawing with the crayons.

Fresh and delicious food in a laid back atmosphere. Steamers and lobster roll were fabulous. Portions were generous. Don’t bother getting the coleslaw (poppy slaw they call it) - it’s completely tasteless.

We enjoyed our meal here. Lobster/crab/shrimp roll were good! Lobster bisque had chunks of lobster and was tasty. Outdoor seating was nice and staff friendly.

An easy walk off the main drag, this restaurant is bright and modern and great water views. The service was excellent. The hostess was cheerful and insightful. Ashley our server was fantastic with a wonderful personality. My wife had the lobster roll and raved about...it. I had the chicken nuggets, which were crispy, generous in size and all white meat.More

We stopped here for a family dinner and were very pleased with the service, the views, and the quality of the food. We ordered the haddock dinner, lobster BLT and haddock sandwich. The haddock was the best we've had, and we do eat a lot...of haddock (and Lobster) when in Maine! Everything was exceptionally fresh and well prepared. The large windows let us enjoy the view of the harbor. Service was very prompt. We will return again when in Maine.More

The six of us went there after sailing on a schooner. Lobster rolls and chowders, we enjoyed it all. Best Lobster roll so far. Server was very helpful, even told us about a local farm market.

To me this is a great place to eat. I have never had a lobster roll and I was impressed. There were 2 sizes to choose from and I did the 6 oz. We did dessert and that was blueberry pie. It was excellent and...also it was made fresh from a local bakery. We ate outside and watched the boats sailed by. The views, atmosphere and service were top notch.More

We first went on the Wild Duck with Rocky Bottom lobstering. What fun! At Luke’s I had the fried ME shrimp my wife had the mussels. Both were delicious. The blueberry Mojito and the Ginger Brew were tasty. Rosie our server was knowledgeable and professional....We’re lifelong ME residents and had not been before. We will be back!More

Voted best lobster roll of 2023. Enough lobster in the roll but a bit blah. Would have been better with warm butter drizzled over the top

I'm not sure about that but I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. They are overpriced with reduced serving portions and that is if you can even get served. Go elsewhere.

We went there when it had been open less than a month; I honestly didn’t know it was a chain... and it certainly didn’t taste like one. I was planning to return sometime
