Luke’s Lobster to open Back Bay location
These New Yorkers want to butter your rolls.
Luke’s Lobster, a mainstay of New York City’s East Village, is bringing its rolls to Back Bay.
Founded by Maine native Luke Holden, the chain offers a pared-down menu of sustainably sourced lobster, crab, or shrimp rolls served New England-style with traditional seaside sides — slaw, Cape Cod potato chips, chowder, sand between your toes, salty sea breeze in your heart, etc.
The rolls are served in split-top buns, buttered, with light mayo,and average around $16 a pop.
The first Boston shop is set to take a space around mid-July at the base of the Avalon Communities building at 75 Exeter Street. It will join Luke’s locations in Philadelphia, Chicago, D.C., and New Jersey, in addition to the eight New York brick-and- mortars (plus a food truck) that have opened since the original.
The Boston Herald reported in December that Luke’s was taking the vacant space in the Avalon, but the restaurant group denied the report at the time.
