Luke’s Lobster

A huge reason for the success of Luke’s Lobster is because of founder Luke Holden’s father, Jeff Holden. His seafood production business allowed all Luke’s Lobster shacks, including the Santa Monica location, to source the world’s best lobsters. Each roll is served Luke’s way, where the meat is wild-caught, chilled seafood in a New England-style, split-top, toasted buttered bun with a swipe of mayo, a drizzle of lemon butter, and a sprinkle of Luke’s Secret Seasoning.

• Rolls can be filled with lobster, shrimp or Jonah crab
• Lobster Roll Flight: lobster roll sampler of three 2 oz half-rolls: lemon butter, spicy honey butter, and truffle butter with chips and a soft drink
