Wonderful!! Sat on the outside deck and enjoyed the view. Enjoyed the clam chowder, calamari and while steamed lobster. Everything was fabulous and the staff was very knowledgeable regarding my needs.

I have not been able to have clam chowder since my celiac diagnosis and I was able to today. It was absolutely delicious and some with the lobster grill cheese. They also have a few cider options either on tap or in a bottle. Not sure if I was able to have the downeast (the one on tap) because of CC but they had shacksbury cider in a can. Hostess and server very knowledgeable of celiac and did inform me that the fried seafood was gf but it’s in a shared frier. Absolutely recommended eating here. Plus if you’re into truffle anything they have a gf truffle better lobster roll..

Visiting Boston and wanted a GF lobster roll. Great options here. We got to try the trio roll with lobster, crab and shrimp as well as the lobster sampler with different seasonal flavors. Ordered through grub hub then called to discuss GF precautions, and they were very proactive.

Not much was marked GF on the menu, but the staff was incredibly knowledgeable. Most items were in fact gluten free. Excellent meal. Had the Clam Chowder, Lobster roll with GF bun and Haddock nuggets. most if not all fried food items are made with rice flour.

They were so cautious about my allergies and the food was straight delicious. They were kind enough to pull out their recipe and check for specific ingredients. They also asked if I was celiac to confirm what level of cross contamination was necessary for my dietary needs

I read reviews about this place and decided to try it based on the fact that you can get a lobster roll on GF bread. What an excellent choice! They were very attentive and cleaned everything before cutting the bread and making my food. The soups are all GF and the rolls were really good. Definitely recommend this place!

Ordered a gf lobster roll and got glutened.
Staff was unsure about mitigating cross contamination. They toast the bread on same grill as non gf items.
Do not recommend for celiacs but keto followers maybe fine

They have gluten-free rolls and soups, but the best part was that they took their time to clean the station during a busy lunch rush. Super yum!

Luke’s was delicious! I got the clam chowder and lobster roll and it was very good. I’m so glad I got to try the famous “lobster roll” didn’t get sick at all and I am very sensitive. Wait staff was awesome and knowledgeable. Would go back again anytime!

I ordered the gluten free lobster roll. Best $27 I ever spent. Honestly, you need to eat this. Let them know that you're gluten free request is for an "allergy" and they'll change their gloves and prepare your order in a completely different area of the kitchen. In LOVE with the sandwhich. QUALITY!! The toasted roll they use is FANTASTIC!!! Not something you can usually say of a gfree bread. I did not get sick at all. Great experience!!! Will eat here again!!! Highest recommend!!!

My first time visiting Maine and I am SO GLAD that I could try a famous lobster roll! The gluten free roll was soft and tasty and the lobster was so fresh and delicious. The servers were knowledgeable about celiac/gluten free and my meal came out labeled as an allergy. There was a long wait to get a table, but it was worth it! I have celiac and did not get sick.

Owner’s daughter has celiac so the staff is super knowledgeable. We had to wait a bit while they cleaned the kitchen between our gluten and non-gluten sandwiches. (Yay!)
The GF bread is soft but a little tasteless. (When isn’t it?) The clam chowder is AMAZING. They use potato starch instead of flour so all the soups are GF. When was the last time you had a creamed soup?!?
We’re from out of town, but I’d be here often if I could. Myself and daughter are both celiac and neither of us got sick.

The gluten free lobster roll is crazy good! We ordered fries on the side and they looked breaded so we asked and they were indeed not gluten free. We didn’t mention my boyfriend was celiac when we ordered so partially our fault but she took away the fries and gave us another side that was gluten free. She also mentioned they were using a different vendor because of shortages so I think normally the fries are gf. We felt great after eating this so no cross contamination even with the fry mix up. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a lobster roll and just make sure to mention it’s an allergy.

I got the trio, the lobster bisque, and the coleslaw. I loved the gf bread and out of all the rolls the lobster and shrimp tied. The coleslaw was a little lackluster but the lobster bisque was tasty and definitely well worth getting. I really enjoyed this meal.

The GF lobster roll was EXCELLENT. Our waiter was knowledgeable about celiac disease. There tends to be a wait. Pro Tip: ask to sit at the bar and all the tables around the bar are first come first serve. What was supposed to be a 40 min wait ended up being zero wait time.

I had the Lobster roll served on a GF bun, with chips and pickle. It was fantastic! I am super sensitive to cross contamination… eating out is risky… but I had a great experience. The server was knowledgeable,and took great care of me.

This is one of the best lobster restaurants in Portland in particular if you’re gluten sensitive. The best thing is that even though the menu doesn’t state Gluten Free (GF) they have a variety of delicious GF choices including fried haddock using rice flour, lobster bisque, clam chowder, lobster rolls with gluten free buns.

Was so nice to be able to have a lobster roll Gluten free bun was grilled and buttery. Yum!
I don’t know why Boston celiacs keep ranking these places highly when they won’t keep basic guidelines for cross contamination.
People: if they won’t guarantee no cross contamination or won’t use a separate space and utensils, it is NOT celiac friendly. Stop ranking these places and risking other people’s health.
No
I am very sensitive celiac. Went to Luke's and have not had any reaction 24 hours later. Upon ordering they asked about preference or allergy. When I said allergy, they told me it would be a couple extra minutes as they get a new cutting board, knife and utensils. The lobster roll, clam chowder and natural sodas are awesome!
Yes
Soooooo good! Technically they say “gluten friendly” which usually would make me nervous, but when I said I had celiac they made sure to scrub the grill and change all gloves/utensils to avoid contamination and I didn’t get sick. Extremely friendly staff and delicious lobster rolls. Can’t wait to come back here.
Yes
Went today and they did not have the GF buns. Only options were soup so we opted to go elsewhere.
Good lobster roll and safe for celiacs. Honestly not worth the $20, and Atlantic Grill has a better lobster roll that costs less.
Yes
Let me see your lobster roll!! I had a lobster roll on one of the best GF buns I’ve ever had. The staff was phenomenal and caring. The soups are GF too. I can’t wait to come back.
Yes
Said they have gluten free rolls, but they only have one griddle that they just “wipe down”. Didn’t feel safe enough, so didn’t end up eating here
Fantastic! GF Lobster roll with truffle oil is amazing! They changed gloves and prep mats to make my sandwich too so I feel safe.
Staff are awesome! I’ve been to another location and it was delish! Very good about preventing cross contamination. Changed gloves, sanitized space, brought out separate utensils.
Amazing GF Lobster Rolls. Ask to clean grill
Yes
Everything on the menu can be GF, and is prepared in a separate area to prevent cross contamination. The staff is very knowledgeable. Some of the best GF bread I’ve ever had!
Yes
Staff are knowledgeable and asked if we had a gluten allergy. Bread is one of the best gluten free rolls that I’ve had. Definitely recommend. Gluten free rolls do cost an extra $2, however
Yes
Mouthwatering delicious!! You have to try this place out. And they are extremely knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination. If they are not sure they bring you the list.
Yes
I eat here about once a month and I’ve been sick. When your a gf roll, the cashier will ask if gf is a preference or allergy. When you say “allergy” they get a new cutting board, knife, and change gloves. Also the gf rolls are so good that once I thought I was served a gluten roll by mistake. I wasn’t.
Yes
My first lobster roll! Really delicious. GF bread was so buttery and good. Lobster was very fresh. Wish it was bigger though- pricey for a small sandwich. Staff ask if you have an allergy or if it’s a preference, then change gloves and wipe down bread toaster before preparing your roll.
Chowder and lobster bisque are both gf. Any of the rolls can be made gf. They have wonderful gf bread and root beer!
Yes
Underwhelming experience. Went on a Saturday and asked about GF rolls, was told "oh, we'll have those on Monday." Opted for the option to put the seafood meat on a bed of lettuce but then you don't get any of the butter and seasoning that add to the flavor.
