Luke's Lobster Portland Pier

Known For
Classic Maine lobster rolls eaten with your feet near the dock
Luke's Lobster on Portland Pier keeps the formula simple and perfect: a split roll, a generous pour of butter, outdoor seating with actual ocean air. It's the local favorite that visitors discover and then spend years trying to recreate at home.
🕐Best time to visit: Golden hour on a clear summer evening
Our Take
Luke's Lobster on the pier pairs an impossibly scenic outdoor perch with the kind of no-fuss lobster roll that reminds you why people come to Maine in the first place. Over 3,600 ratings back up what the line out front already tells you.
