Enjoy our delicious seafood at the source, outside on the spacious deck, or inside with floor-to-ceiling views of the historic Portland Pier. Watch lobstermen pull into the dock to unload that day's haul at the buy station as you taste our famous lobster roll or crack into a whole steamed lobster, prepared with lobster caught right here at the pier. Looking for the perfect spot to grab a drink? Sunset on our dockside or upstairs deck is a sight you won't want to miss! Situated right beside our lobster buying station, Luke's at Portland Pier offers 360-degree views of the lobster industry with a menu of seafood favorites and a full bar.

Q:
I'm seeing no option for a reservation. Is there normally a wait on a May Thursday at dinner time? Found it, thanks folks!
A:
If you go to their website, there is a link to a third party site to reserve a table. I think you can call them directly. They are closed tonight for a private function I believe. I hope this helps

Amazing and large lobster rolls! I really enjoy the truffle lobster roll with the nice toasted bun. Our waitress was extremely friendly and accommodating to the large group I was with. We were seated on the pier where we could see the ocean. This place is super casual and gives harbor-sweater vibes.
I highly recommend stopping by this place if you're around the area.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - May 11, 2024
This was one of the best lobster rolls I've had in my life. We ordered the truffle butter and spicy honey butter rolls and opted to size up to the 6 ounce. This was the best decision that we could've made. Both were incredible but the truffle butter lobster roll took the gold today. While biting into the roll, you can smell the intoxicating truffle making your bite that much better. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to elevate their lobster roll order. However, I've heard amazing things about the original.
The interior of the restaurant is bright with great views all around. We were the first customers in the restaurant today and got our pick of where to sit. We chose to sit upstairs and had one of the most amazing views. Service was awesome and made our decision of what to order that much easier.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Known for their lobster rolls...
This fun little place is right at the end of the pier so you get a bit of a view with your meal. The dining area is surrounded by large window. There is an outside dining area if you are there with a pup. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. The food came out promptly and hot.
Their seafood tasted fresh and they did not skimp on portions. Most notable are their lobster rolls. You can get them with 4 or 6 oz of lobster and a few flavoring options. The truffle butter and hot honey butter were my favorites and did not overpower the flavor of the lobster. The buns were warm and nicely toasted. You can order a lobster roll flight and have 3 2oz rolls so you can sample multiple flavors. Also tried the steamed mussels and clams which were well cooked and fresh.
Portland is a coastal town with lots of options for seafood. If you want good, fresh, local seafood, this is one of the top choices around.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

GPS will take you right to Luck's at the end of the pier but I did not know there was limited parking down there, so I parked in the pay lot and walked about 3 mins to the end. The walk is nice as you get to see the fishing vessels docked.
Was not sure how fresh the lobster would be as it was not lobster season. But have no fear, walking in you see tank upon tank of fresh lobster.
I was seated right away near the deck with a great view of the bay. The menu is just the perfect amount of options not over whelming. If you are like me and can't make up your mind on which lobster roll to get.. fear not my friends, they offer a lobster roll flight of the 3 poplar ones. They are 3oz each (I think that was the right number, it could be 2oz?!) I don't now it was a good amount of lobster per mini roll. It comes with traditional garlic butter, black truffle oil, and hot honey. All three rolls were great. I really liked the Hot honey and black truffle ones.
So glad Luke's was there to fulfill my lobster needs before heading out of town.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

There aren't many times I wish I could give more than five stars. I mean, five is pretty terrific. This surpasses it. The food is dynamite. Everything we had was just superb. It's visually striking. Of course, the view is amazing, but everything about the space is obviously done with such love and care. Speaking of care, I can't speak highly enough of our server (I'm embarrassed to say I don't remember his name). He had a French accent and was spot on with everything, from
advice on the beer list to making sure everything was perfect the whole time we were there.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Lobster roll is their specialty. I ordered 6oz which has more meat than the 4oz. The size is the same, only difference is the amount of lobster meat.
Restaurant has beautiful views of the waterfront, I went at the night time on Monday, therefore was not crowded. I got quick service.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
