Nestled on the pier, Luke's Lobster offers stunning harbor views and a laid-back vibe, serving up delicious lobster rolls and fresh seafood dishes.
"While a trip to the Maine coast to go lobstering may not be in the cards this holiday, the Luke’s Lobster roll kit is just as good. The kit comes with everything needed to make a restaurant-quality lobster roll right at home, including fresh-caught lobster and New England-style split-top buns. Just let the lobster thaw in the fridge for one day, and dress however you like (a little warm butter or even mayonnaise works). For good measure, Luke’s throws in a wild blueberry pie from Two Fat Cats bakery in Portland, Maine. The company recently made its first expansion to the West Coast with a restaurant in Santa Monica just steps from the beach." - Matthew Kang
"Though Luke’s Lobster started in New York City, sells lobster meat in grocery stores across the country, and operates lobster shacks in places as far-flung as Japan and Singapore, the company has its roots in Maine, where founder and third-generation lobsterman Luke Holden is from. His two-story flagship restaurant is hidden away at the end of Portland Pier. With floor-to-ceiling windows, multiple balconies, and outdoor seating, it has the best up-close views of the Old Port’s working waterfront, including harbor seals patrolling for snacks while lobster boats drop off their catch at Luke’s buying station next door." - Adam H. Callaghan

"Luke's Lobster's brand-new location at the end of the pier in Old Port has two floors and absolutely stunning views of the water and the working harbor. The lobster roll, which is available regular or jumbo, comes on a buttered, toasted bun with lemon mayo and Luke’s signature seasoning. There's also a full bar with a solid Maine beer list and cocktails atypical of a New England lobster shack." - Joe Ricchio
"The flagship Luke’s Lobster location (60 Portland Pier) will open for dinner on June 5. The restaurant will offer views of Portland Harbor and a menu of lobster rolls, chowders and bisques, fried clams, and lots more seafood." - Dana Hatic
