About us
Luke’s Lobster was born out of the dream of Maine native and third-generation lobsterman Luke Holden to bring the quality, affordable lobster rolls of his youth to the big city. After meeting business partner Ben Conniff on Craigslist (yes, Craigslist), the two twenty-somethings opened their first lobster shack in a 250 square foot space in NYC’s East Village in October 2009. Nearly a decade later Luke’s Lobster shacks can be found in ten states across the U.S., and in Japan and Singapore. You can also find Luke's products in Whole Foods Markets nationwide and can have them shipped anywhere in the US through our Online Market! As part of its mission to serve the best tasting seafood, sourced responsibly, Luke’s Lobster also built a state-of-the-art seafood facility in Saco, Maine, that allows the company to not only buy lobsters directly from fishermen at the dock but immediately steam, pick, and send them to its shacks to ensure perfect flavor and texture with every bite and transparent sourcing detail for its guests. In 2018, Luke & Ben furthered their growing seafood company’s commitment to sustainability and socially conscious business practices by becoming a certified B Corporation®, reflecting Luke’s Lobster’s deep devotion to each of its communities, its family of teammates, and the environment.

“From the location to the price to the roll itself, Luke's Lobster really impressed me. It was classic, with a unique twist, and it came with harbor views that really made me feel like a Mainer.” Thank you for this amazing highlight of our flagship location, Business Insider! 🦞

Serving a standout lobster roll wouldn’t be possible without the hardworking fishermen, dedicated production workers, and of course the talented and hospitable cooks and severs at Portland Pier that make it all possible. We couldn’t do it without them! Thank you for the shoutout, Food & Wine
