I ordered a crab roll but they were low on crab meat and so substituted in some lobster (no complaints here!) It was delicious. My only regret is not ordering an additional food item, as the roll (4oz) is, well, 4 ounces. Of course lobster is pricey so you have to either make the decision to pay up for a fully satisfying meal or not. I went on a Monday around noon and didn’t have to wait in line at all and there was plenty of seating available. Solid choice for lunch.

Ok, Lobster Roll Night, Uber Eats! 1st, we ordered BYGYF, so 2 lobster rolls, fries and 12 oz. Lobster Bisque, $64 with 17% tip plus delivery. Lobster roll was good, not big like others but the flavor was good. The roll, seemed like a hotdog bun. A toasted roll would have upped my stars. French fries, wow, little skimpy on the portion IMHO. It’s a potato, so more than a small handful of fries could have been a little more. The lobster Bisque — really had a good flavor. Just the right amount of spices, salt, loved the flavor, popped right off. 12 oz for the price, middle of the road on that. Order again? — Sure, but want to go visit to see more of what they have.

Delicious lobster roll! Very easy to use ordering app for pickup. Pulled up and grabbed food and devoured it. Do note that the coleslaw comes with the lobster roll order. No need to order a separate one. And it is yummy too!

Good for families with outside seating. The customer service was really friendly, and most important, the lobster roll was soooo tasty. Crispy bread, well-seasoned meat, and a sauce that complemented but didn’t overpower the tender lobster. My kids liked the grilled cheese and fries.

I’ve always wanted to try this place. Finally tried it. I ordered lobster bisque and it was terrible! I’ve had bisque at many many seafood places because that’s my go to appetizer. This bisque was watery, salty and barely had lobster in it. I’m used to creamy bisque filled with crab or lobster meat. It was horrible! The portion size was crazy. IF YOU WANT A QUALITY BISQUE TRY CRISFIELD IN SILVER SPRING! THEY UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT!!

Parking: There were street parking but only if you’re lucky. I recommend getting dropped off or walk there. I’m not from the area and used Apple Maps to walk there. It was a bit of a struggle to find because the map directs you to the entrance on a different side of the block.

I was realllly excited when Luke’s Lobster opened up a new “shack” in Farragut because I love all things lobster. I’d heard good things so I was pumped to try their food. FYI, This is their 4th location in DC, and it’s right next to the Farragut West Metro.

Service was excellent. Food came out pretty quick. Had lobster rolls, lobster mac and cheese, and clam chowder. All of it was amazing and so fresh!!! Food was a bit pricey so me and my friend split a meal at first but needing up ordering more because it was just that good.
