At Luke's Lobster City Hall, located in the heart of Chicago, seafood lovers are treated to a delightful culinary experience that focuses primarily on the freshness and quality of Maine's famed lobster. Guests rave about the mouthwatering lobster and crab rolls, which are frequently described as "out of this world." The lobster roll flight, showcasing a variety of flavors like truffle butter and spicy options, stands out as a must-try for those who want to indulge in different tastes. While the food generally garners high praise, not all dishes hit the mark. Some reviewers expressed disappointment with the consistency of the New England clam chowder, noting it lacked the creaminess expected from such a classic. However, the standout service and welcoming atmosphere more than make up for this minor flaw, with many guests highlighting their satisfaction with the attentive staff. Overall, Luke’s Lobster City Hall earns accolades for its fresh, flavorful seafood offerings and friendly service, making it a recommended stop for both locals and visitors. Whether you’re enjoying a kid's lobster roll or indulging in the full Mainer meal, this seafood sanctuary promises a memorable taste of Maine in the Windy City.

If you are in the area and you really want to treat yourself to some amazing food, stop in at Luke's! The sandwiches were fantastic. They cost a little bit more than a fast food burger BUT, look at the pictures! You won't be disappointed with any of the lobster rolls! I didn't have the shrimp roll or the crab roll but I was told the crab roll was great. Their suggestion for the shrimp roll was that it would have been better if they could have had it heated up but that wasn't an option he was allowed. Obviously there are 4 stars on the food and that is only due to the clam chowder that wasn't even close to chowder. The flavors were fine but the consistency was watery. This was not creamy or thick at all. That was disappointing considering how good everything else was.

The most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten!!! Absolutely amazing you need to try this place! The lobster and snow crab rolls were out of this world yummy. The service was so wonderful, so friendly and kind. It was all such a great experience that we got a second round. This is now a must-go every time we come to Chicago.

Best Lobster Rolls in Chicago! Fresh and flavorful. I recommend doing the lobster roll flight. You get to try. Lemon butter, spicy, honey, butter, truffle butter (my fav). And I feel like you get more lobster this way as well versus getting just the lobster roll. We also got the seafood roll flight. The crabs are really good as well. Lobster bisque soup was good. not too heavy 5/5 England clam chowder 3/5

Everything was PERFECT! The service was SO wonderful, the food was amazing (so much so, that we ended up ordering a 2nd round). Highly recommend the clam chowder, as well as the samplers (seafood trio and lobster trio). The truffle butter is a MUST, as well! I can't say enough good things about the entire experience and we cannot wait to go back!

Had a lovely stop in for an amazing lobster roll in this Maine style restaurant. The bread is amazing , the meat is juicy, and the pickle was the cherry on top. Highly recommend the blueberry lemonade as well!

Outstanding lobster roll! I’m on a quest to try every Chicago restaurant’s lobster roll in 2025 and this is one of the best so far!!! The Mainer is a 6oz lobster roll with clam chowder, chips and a drink for 45.
