| - In general not very BIG on the whole lobster roll. But talk about five star winnah! It definitely redefined my perception of lobster roll. The few times had it always overcooked, bread not very good, lack of lobster in it, overkill on the mayo or lack of seasonings, and for the price not the first thing that would peak my interest on any menu. Thankfully help of Vegas Yelpers and Suzy H heard about the new Lobster Roll player in town. One that came with lot of great vibes, solid reviews, and established restaurant on the east coast. Luke Lobster based in Maine am like really there nothing more legit then Maine lobsters right??? I kind of had high expectations but in all honesty totally nailed it.
Thankfully with Suzy H we make sure if going check out restaurant for the first time never get the same thing plus try as much of the menu as our tummy can. lol! We both got the combo that comes with choice of soup, chips, and beverage of your choice. I think its the best deal you can get. Really not sure the exact amount saved. If your going spend the money on lobster roll that not exactly cheap lunch or dinner. Why not get full meal plus the SOUP it must with any of the rolls. Perfect compliment. We ordered the clam chowder and lobster bisque. Both awesome. If there was soup nazi in Vegas. Luke Lobster hands down would go out of my way just for SOUP. Really that good for me. The clam chowder has so much depth not just creamy but hearty with clams, potatoes, and great flavor. The lobster bisque talk about nice chunks of lobster in it. Suzy first bite got nice piece and really till the very bottom find pieces in it. Tradition way more so in fancy upscale restaurants all soup or very little if any actually lobster. Again the bisque has nice depth not just creamy tomato soup but taste the lobster in it and see it. Any soup comes with crackers cause soup without crackers. The chips they have regular and salt & vinegar. The drinks that another reason get the combo. Am sure might see it in speciality stores but it was the first time had that brand that based in Maine. We tried the blueberry soda and the ginger ale. The blueberry soda was delicious. Refreshing. The ginger ale would pass on it. The blueberry soda not overpowering the blueberry flavor but still has the carbonation associate with soda. It was different but the tasty way!!!!
The star of the show the lobster roll. The bread talk about amazing!!!!!!!!!! Always preached on any review with sandwich. Sandwich really starts with the bread and not filling that will offset the bread. The bread or roll they use could eat everyday. They butter it then toast it perfect golden brown on the outside. So good. The lobster was all the things that done the right way. It had nice pieces from the claw, knuckle, and tail. Every piece was cooked to perfection. Moist, without the mayo/seasonings (no idea it is except dam tasty) amazing taste like butter, and all together perfect lobster roll. We even tried the crab roll. Another good one. It was little different because the crab is chilled so not warm like the lobster the meat. Still use the same bread. If you decide split it kind of cute cause bread just of split rolls.
The only thing that bummer. It really small place more like food stand outside of fashion show mall on the strip. Only ten seats. Really look at the positive is there better place too people watch then the Vegas strip?? Now you can do it with style and killer lobster roll. On cold nights the soups will keep you warm. No doubt if not been to Luke Lobster. Need too!!
