Luke’s Lobster

Luke’s Lobster was created by a young man named Luke Holden. Luke was a young boy with a dream – to serve the masses fresh lobster, crab, and shrimp. Disillusioned with the cost-cutting maneuvers of so-called gourmet restaurants, Luke made it his goal to cut out the middle man and sell freshly caught lobster straight to the consumer. Today you find Luke’s Lobster locations all over the city, where you can order his signature open bun special with either lobster, crab, or shrimp seasoned generously with Luke’s signature spices.
