What is Maine Root?
It's an awesome family-run soda company based in Maine. They use Fair Trade, certified organic evaporated cane juice, so there's no artificial sweeteners -- it's better for you, the environment and the farmers. Each soda has ~160 calories and 40g of sugar. We sell their root beer, blueberry, lemon lime, mandarin orange and ginger brew flavors.
Do you have diet soda?
Due to popular demand, we started carrying Diet Coke and Perrier as no-calorie beverage options.
I have a gluten allergy -- what can I eat?
We can't guarantee that anything will be gluten free as there is bread in our kitchen. But if you are not very sensitive you can try our lobster, crab, and shrimp without the bread. We've had some customers bring in gluten-free bread and we made the roll on that. Our lobster bisque and clam chowder are both made gluten-free (Hurricane Soups have potato starch), and the Empress claws are A-ok, too.
I'm allergic to lobster (or crab or shrimp) -- is it safe to eat at Luke's?
We can't guarantee that your food hasn't come into contact with one of those items. If it's a mild allergy, we can wash our equipment and grab a new pair of gloves, but please don't take the risk if you have a severe allergy.
Can I get my roll without mayo and/or butter?
Yes! Our lobster roll is simple -- a toasted, buttered, split-top bun with a swipe of mayo, topped with 4 ounces of pure lobster/crab/shrimp (not a salad) and secret spices. Our roll can be made just for you without any of these ingredients.
What is your delivery range?
For location-specific delivery information, please click on the location nearest you under the "Locations" tab. DC do not currently deliver, but EV, UES, FiDi and UWS do.
Do you serve alcohol?
We have a beer license at the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, FiDi and DC locations, where we serve Shipyard, Allagash, Geary's, Peak and other Maine microbrews.
If we're worried about allergies, will you tell us what's in your secret spice?
Yes. But only then!
Do you serve/sell whole lobsters?
We don't...just deliciously cooked seafood rolls!
I have a Lobsta Mobsta card -- what do I get stamps for?
You get stamps for each lobster roll (1), Taste of Maine (1) and Noah's Ark (2) you enjoy!
Are you hiring?
We're always on the look-out for awesome crew members, so send your resume and a brief "about me" paragraph to Evi (hireME@lukeslobster.com). Oh, and any familiarity with Maine is a huge plus!
