Luke's Lobster Bethesda

Let’s start off by saying if you are not willing to pay for quality seafood then this is not the restaurant for you. I ended up getting a cup of clam chowder & a 6oz lobster roll. The chowder had a great consistency and flavor but the clams were a bit overcooked so they were super chewy. Now the roll was the star of the show. It was fresh and filling. I like that they have portion options. Overall the menu is a pricey but it’s quality.

After hearing so much buzz about Luke's Lobster, I made a special trip to their Bethesda location with high expectations. Unfortunately, my experience fell somewhere in the middle range - not terrible, but certainly not worth the hype or price point. I ordered their signature lobster roll meal, which comes at a premium price that had me anticipating something truly exceptional. While the lobster meat was fresh, the portion size was surprisingly modest given what I paid. The roll itself was properly buttered and toasted, but the overall flavor profile was rather one-dimensional and lacked the wow factor I was hoping for. The service was efficient if not particularly memorable, and the atmosphere was pleasant enough. However, I couldn't shake the feeling of being underwhelmed throughout my

Absolutely love any kind of their lobster rolls. Spicy honey butter lobster is one of the best. Snow crab is very moist and delicious, it is pretty good option if you want to try something other than lobster. Had the Luke’s Trio at first to try their variety option, shrimp is just alright, and crab is decent. Recommend going straight for lobster or crab roll. The lobster bisque is thick, flavorful, and creamy with lobster pieces, nice but not a must-try. I got the Lobster bisque, Luke’s trio, spicy honey butter lobster, lobster roll, snow crab roll.

The truffle lobster roll is alright and we didn’t even taste the black truffle in it. Warning ‼️ DONT EVER order the truffle lobster roll because they trick customers with that flavor and you only taste lobster in it lol. But this restaurant called Mason’s Lobster that I’ve been to in my area is better than this location. Last time when my family and friends ate the Luke’s lobster rolls in NYC, it was a lot better than this location

4.5 stars Service was great, very friendly and prompt. I ordered the Mainer which included chips, a drink, a cup of clam chowder, and a lobster roll. The lobster was delicious, not too rich and had a light flavor. The soup was also good but portion size was too small especially for the price of the meal.
