Luke’s Lobster truck has been a staple at Pier 13 for a while now, with their popular lobster rolls. Now, they’re opening up a permanent brick & mortar location on Washington Street in Hoboken that will be open all year round! A perfect savory treat in the summertime, this is great news for lobster roll fanatics living in the square mile.

Luke’s Lobster originated in 2009 in the East Village, with a small spot serving lobster, crab, shrimp, chowders and bisques made with fresh Maine seafood. Often, a lobster roll is filled with shredded lobster and lots of mayo. The great thing about Luke’s lobster rolls is that they are made with large pieces of claw meat. It’s refreshing to have so much lobster tucked into one roll.

Do you know where your seafood comes from?

“Most lobster purveyors get their seafood from distributors who hike the price, add days between dock and plate, and obscure the source. Luke Holden buys his lobster from lobstermen at the dock; cooks it fresh out of the water at Cape Seafood, Luke’s crustacean cookery in Maine; and hauls it directly to you, so it’s as fresh as humanly possible when it’s nestled into each roll. This guarantees that it’s harvested sustainably, cooked perfectly, and handled with love and care.”

How do you like your lobster rolls?

“A true Maine lobster roll is stuffed with quality lobster, not lobster salad. There’s no celery, onions, globs of mayo, or fancy flavorings hiding the seafood. Luke’s rolls have a tiny swipe of mayo in the bun and a dash of lemon butter and seasoning on top—just subtle accents to a quarter pound of top quality lobster meat for only $15 a roll—less than you’d pay at some shacks in Maine.”

What will Luke’s Lobster Shop look like?



“The best lobster rolls are handed lovingly over the counter at casual lobster shacks full of authentic character, with nautical décor harvested from the fishermen next door. That’s Luke’s style—thoughtfully built shacks decorated with salvaged buoys from his own lobstering days, framed Maine scenery, and handmade reclaimed wood counters manned by relaxed, friendly teammates. It’s all about experiencing Maine without the airfare.”
