Luke’s Lobster, a national seafood chain known for its fresh, sustainably sourced lobster rolls, is opening a new location at Seaport Village at 849 Harbor Dr.
The family-owned restaurant will make its San Diego debut later this year, although an exact opening date for the new location is unknown, as documents submitted to the San Diego Department of Environmental Health and Quality are still being reviewed. Regardless, the new Luke’s Lobster will offer its signature lobster rolls and more to locals and visitors in one of San Diego’s most scenic waterfront destinations, adding a new dining option to this area. The location’s coastal views and relaxed atmosphere are expected to make it a prime spot for seafood enthusiasts and those looking to enjoy a taste of Maine on the West Coast.
The menu at Luke’s Lobster includes its famous lobster roll, shrimp and crab rolls, lobster bisque, and lobster tacos, all made with fresh, sustainably sourced seafood from Maine. The restaurant keeps its menu simple yet flavorful, focusing on high-quality ingredients and allowing the natural taste of the lobster to stand out in each dish. Customers can expect delicious offerings alongside sides like chips and slaw, making for a complete and satisfying meal in a casual, laid-back environment that brings a bit of New England to San Diego.
Founded in 2009 by Maine native Luke Holden, Luke’s Lobster started with a single location in New York City’s East Village before expanding across the U.S. and internationally. Last year, the brand expanded its presence on the West Coast with a new location in Santa Monica. The brand’s commitment to sustainability and its focus on quality seafood have made it a favorite among seafood lovers, with each dish crafted using responsibly sourced lobster from small, independent fishermen in Maine. Luke’s Lobster has since become a well-known name in the seafood industry, bringing an authentic lobster roll experience to locations worldwide.
