Luke’s Lobster was born out of the dream of Maine native and third-generation lobsterman Luke Holden to bring the quality lobster rolls of his youth to the big city. After meeting business partner Ben Conniff on Craigslist, the two twenty-somethings opened their first lobster shack in NYC in October 2009. Now over 15 years later, Luke’s Lobster brings traceable, sustainable seafood to guests across the globe.

Our vision is to be the world’s most trusted seafood brand. Our mission is to serve the best seafood because we care for it obsessively from the dock to you, and because we re devoted to serving the whole community of people it touches. We work directly with fishermen to hand pick the best seafood, bring it to our own seafood company in Saco, ME and then ship to our shacks, grocery partners, and consumers.

Cutting out the middleman means better tasting seafood for you to enjoy and a fairer price for our fishermen.
