    Great pub/bar ambience--black and white photos of pubs and bars of the past, green checkered table clothes, wooden tables, chairs, walls, etc.Shared the Guacamole and Salsa with chips with a friend. We questioned the thin consistency of the salsa, but it as delightfully spicy and thick enough to cover the chip. The Guacamole was, also, delicious.I had the Smash Burger. Contrary to the headline of the menu, it did not include tomato, raw onion and pickle, but the server gladly provided it when I requested it--without fuss and at no added cost. The fact that the sides (i.e. fries, onion rings, etc.) are not included was a bit of downer, but the quality and quantity of the pay-separate-for-side was well worth it especially when sharing. I had the Onion Ring & French Fry Mix...tasty--perfectly crispy on the outside fries and thick enough to have a soft center along with their Shoestring Onion Rings.To end the meal, I partook in their Key Lime Pie. So good and fresh! Amazing crumbly graham cracker crust with a firm key lime custard accompanied with a dollop of fresh, not too sweet, house made whip cream. They even made a fresh pot of decaf coffee, as opposed to saying they didnt have any.Although a bit out of my price range for my usual outings, it is the Upper East Side and it is the start of the Holiday Season, so it was worth the cost for the quality and service. I would eat hear again if budget allowed.

    Randomly went to Luke’s, Johnny & Madeline were a DELIGHT and whatever they make they deserve their salary to be raised by 5* and more vacation days 🍸🍹🍷🥂

  • Review 3 (2024-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    Small and Warm pub to have drinks. We also tried the Margarita flat bread and was pretty Good 😋 Cant wait to go back and try more food and drinks.

  • Review 4 (2019-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    Great spot for a quick bite and drinks! Everything here is fantastic! Apps, mains, desserts - they really know what they’re doing, the beet salad with the fried goat cheese is my personal favorite. Come here for a full dinner or just to hang out and you won’t be disappointed.

  • Review 5 (2023-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    Madelyn was amazing. Shes was comforting and knowledgeable. The manager Luigi controls the restaurant and keeps it running smoothly. The meatballs are amazing.

  • Review 6 (2024-10-14 - Rating: 4)

    Cozy place and the food was very good! We had the Pulled Pork Sandwich and Buffalo Bacon Burguer!

  • Review 7 (2020-11-12 - Rating: 5)

    Great place for Burgers &cold beer, other dishes well try next visit

  • Review 8 (2024-07-03 - Rating: 5)

    A surprise like for me. Discovered this place while waiting for doctor appointment. Bartender was so friendly and efficient. Bar appetizer was just right and good.

  • Review 9 (2024-02-09 - Rating: 5)

    Very fun, cool, and lively spot in the middle of the Upper East Side. I wanted to order everything on the menu - it all looked incredible. Bit pricy for a pub but the portions are very generous, which makes up for it. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

  • Review 10 (2022-09-21 - Rating: 5)

    This place slaps - drinks are strong and bartender Madelyn is so hot! Amazing, hot, food and customer service is great. Great neighborhood spot for quality, inexpensive drinks! Stop by

  • Review 11 (2024-11-04 - Rating: 5)

    Stumbled upon Lukes and was struck by how alive and happening it was. Johnny and Madeline were great-service is usually even better when in good company. Of course, it had an excellent selection of menu items, all of which sounded amazing, and the portions were huge, so I could understand it being a little pricier than your average pub fare. The grilled cheese with bacon was what I was in the mood for: perfect, simple.

  • Review 12 (2019-10-20 - Rating: 5)

    Nice lighting/atmosphere. Service was quite friendly. Food was delicious and the two other people in my party said that they enjoyed their food too. Overall great!

  • Review 13 (2023-06-26 - Rating: 4)

    Went during the week / late afternoon. Bartender and waiter were very attentive and hospitable. Other guests seem like locals: a mature, calm vibe. The bartender made our drinks flawlessly, and food could have used a little more flavor. Decent spot for a chat or quick bite if youre in the area.

  • Review 14 (2024-01-20 - Rating: 5)

    More than just delicious bar food!

  • Review 15 (2023-08-08 - Rating: 4)

    Cool, relaxed place for food & drinks. We were looking for a place to hang for 9 of us on a Sunday afternoon - some eating, done just drinking. Vegans in our group found suitable options and the service was very good. Nice selection of food & drinks.

  • Review 16 (2024-04-20 - Rating: 5)

    I wanted a proper grilled cheese with bacon. Not some deconstruction of it. Not somewhere kids arnt allowed or is cash only or is pretentious. Just a proper grilled cheese. It was awesome. Exactly what I was looking for.I loved the service and atmosphere of the place too and everything else we had was great. Loved sitting outside.

  • Review 17 (2024-11-30 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent Turkey burger! Nice service. Casual Pub vibe. Dependable and fresh.

  • Review 18 (2021-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    I have been going to Luke’s for 20+ years… and it is STILL the best restaurant and bar in the upper east side. Everything on the menu is a feel good - homemade meal and i mean EVERYTHING. The owner is incredibly thoughtful and accommodating… and that goes for the entire staff. Hot take here: Luke’s burger is better than JG Melon ID PUT MY LIFE ON IT. enjoy this mainstay Haven you will not regret it and the staff will never forget you… you will be treated like family. Bon appetite

  • Review 19 (2021-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Walked in here on a packed Saturday night. The owner immediately greeted us. Frankly, I haven’t been to a restaurant with the kind of hospitality Luke’s has.Service is almost as good as the food (which, hint hint, is incredible.) if you live in the area and thought, “hm I would love a mean burger,” Lukes has got you covered. If you find yourself in the area and think “I’d love a good place to grab a bite and have a few great drinks before we hit the town,” Lukes has got you covered.Bartenders are more than welcoming as well. They recognize a regular and treat newcomers just the same.Cannot recommend Luke’s enough to a neighbor or a tourist. It feels like home regardless.

  • Review 20 (2022-11-29 - Rating: 5)

    Went for before dinner drinks and the place was great. The menu looked good but was not what we were in the mood for that evening. Will definitely return there again to try the food. It is NOT wheelchair accessible that I saw from the only entrance we saw and used.

  • Review 21 (2024-11-22 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place, will definitely be coming back.My only comment for management is to get the draft beers colder!

  • Review 22 (2023-02-01 - Rating: 5)

    Madeline at the bar. A treasure. Food exceptional. Pricey? Yes. But worth it. Not, however, the $28 Mike Wallace meatloaf offering. Avoid at all costs post-shopping judo practice and SAT prep hordes on Saturdays at mid-day.

  • Review 23 (2022-01-10 - Rating: 5)

    Lukes always hits the mark. Not only do they have delicious food, they also have impeccable service. From the wait staff, to the owner they are 5+ stars. I highly suggest ordering their burger, the cheese steak or one of their gorgeous salads . Also, they make a solid Negroni / Manhattan. Its my go to spot for eating out when Im at a loss with cravings, the atmosphere truly give you the NYC pub home youre looking for.

  • Review 24 (2017-09-26 - Rating: 5)

    We where looking for a late night snack and found this cosy bar! Excellent service, great background music and one of the better burgers Ive eaten in a long time. Small menu but good options. Great dessert too! The brownie with ice cream was very yummy!

  • Review 25 (2023-04-21 - Rating: 5)

    Authentic. The perfect balance of relaxed unassuming old school sophistication. If comfort food had Michelin stars, this would be it. The essence of the UES without trying. One of a kind, welcoming hospitality.

  • Review 26 (2021-04-11 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely amazing!! Had the best time with my friends last Friday. The food is delicious, and the service impeccable!

  • Review 27 (2022-09-21 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing staff and food! For great price. Definitely a come back to place, great service and food is too good, and owner is very local and friendly. Should come if you can!

    Great local spot. Eaten there twice in the last couple of months. Very good food and great looking menu. Lots of diverse choices.

  • Review 29 (2024-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    Very good terrace!

  • Review 30 (2021-06-03 - Rating: 5)

    Havent been out for at least one year. After getting vaccinated I do feel slightly less worried about Covid-19.My partner and I took a friend out who lives in Eastside Rehabilitation facility.Had a really nice time. Margaritas were tasty and got me twisted in a good way. Food was good. And the bread pudding dessert was delicious.Walk. Dont run. To Lukes on 3rd Avenue and E. 79th Street. Running can be dangerous!

  • Review 31 (2016-08-06 - Rating: 5)

    One if the best places to eat on the East side. Been coming here for more years than I can remember. Friendly staff and amazing food. Everything is fresh. Great specials. A bar that kills too. Really a comfortable place for family, date or with a group of friends.

  • Review 32 (2023-05-31 - Rating: 5)

    Lukes is my neighborhood favorite! the food and atmosphere are 10/10 and nothing can compare. Fish Tacos are my favorite.

    Best Restaurant in town by far. Owner is welcoming and friendly, the staff is diligent and precise but the best part is the food, It’s amazing, home made flavor and all ingredients are fresh and natural. This restaurant is La Crème de La Crème!

  • Review 49 (2023-11-07 - Rating: 5)

    I brought my parents and their friends to grab lunch here after our visit to the met and it was exactly the type of spot I was looking for. They played easy music like Train, Keane, and Bill Withers. We had club sandwiches and told stories. Emma was our server and she made sure we were well taken care of during our visit. Will definitely be back!

    Everything was perfect. I think I lost my ear buds here but the food was fantastic!

  • Review 56 (2023-12-01 - Rating: 5)

    I was surprised to read some negative reviews about the owner. In my years of dining here, Ive personally witnessed his warm interactions with customers. Sure, everyone has off days, but his dedication to customer satisfaction is evident as it isn’t easy to keep a restaurant afloat for 32 years in Manhattan. My family and I love Lukes, great food & staff is friendly.

  • Review 73 (2023-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    I had the worst meal on my birthday. I ordered a Ceasar salad which had no dressing and was told there was an upcharge for it. My daughter had a tuna salad that was rancid and not edible. Since the waiter was so rude and and everything was extra she left it. As for my bday cake we went elsewhere to eat and have dessert. And if this experience wasnt badenough we were harrased outside by a homeless man who wouldnt leave our table.

  • Review 76 (2021-08-08 - Rating: 5)

    This has been a long time fave of mine. I used to live in this area (I moved about 14 blocks north) and have had many good memories here. It is a classic American bar and restaurant. Never too packed and such a chill place. Great drinks and food and always very friendly service. I dont know what it is about the antique smell in here, but it always elicits reminiscent feelings and an atmosphere of comfort. This will always be my go to spot in this neighborhood!

  • Review 82 (2022-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    My name is also Luke so I gave 5 stars

  • Review 83 (2020-09-05 - Rating: 5)

    The service was absolutely 5 stars, my server Maddy was super attentive and on top of it, there was also a man which I imagine is the owner or manager and he was also on top of everything with helping clear tables and checking on guests.Food - I only had the wings, and they were good. Typical bar wings, crispy and a bit spicy and served with chunky blue cheese. Not anything spectacular, but definitely enjoyable.Drinks - I started with the Frose, which Ive never had. The server described it as Rose blended with ice, and that is exactly what it was. Not my thing, but Im sure theres a crowd for it.Next I ordered the Skinny Margarita, at $14 which is not really atypical for the city, but it was really good! Not on the sweet side, which I like, you could taste mostly lime and the tequila.Overall, a great experience if you like a good bar feel even though youre not actually sitting at the bar. I will definitely be back.

  • Review 84 (2022-06-11 - Rating: 4)

    In case of my visit, my friends and I hadnt made a reservation, we were just walking belong and we decided to try to get lunch. The restaurant looked empty. But the waiter wasnt friendly. So it feels like a big favor for us to get this opportunity.The food was just normal for expensive price. I guess dish serving should be better and tasteir.

  • Review 85 (2021-02-05 - Rating: 5)

    Had the nicest experience outdoor dining there! There’s a tent (which was a little too closed for us) but also two tables on the sidewalk with great heaters. The server was so friendly and attentive and helpful with dietary restrictions! Highly recommend for winter 2021 dining

    Best veggie burger ever---hands down. Great atmosphere and fantastic service.

  • Review 87 (2020-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    One of our favorite family spots. Been going for Past 9 years. The staff is soo friendly, greet our kids by name. We love the turkey burgers, shrimp and avocado salad and the kids love the sliders, flatbread pizza and Mac and cheese. Luke’s was our first take out desire when we returned to city as the kids said “we want to go to Luigi and Johnny’s” as they endearingly call Luke’s by the owner’s name and our long time waiter. Thank you for being “home” for our family “Nelson and leelA”.

  • Review 101 (2016-03-24 - Rating: 4)

    Went here on a whim for lunch. Food was decent, service was pretty good, nothing fancy. Its sort of your run of the mill, upper east side bar food. I ordered a salad and my boyfriend ordered a burger. A word of advice... if you order medium rare burgers, you will get medium rare... more rare than medium. If you are skeeved out by blood on your plate, Id suggest ordering the burger a little more well done.Probably wont be back for a while only because its a bit far from where I live. But if youre looking for a place to grab a quick bite and are in the area, this place will do the trick.

    Go in and sit at the bar for a beer! Great bartender (think his name was Michael). Feels like a relaxed neighborhood spot and learned a little more about the area and local craft breweries ( we re from the Toronto area).

    Ive been going to Lukes for the past 20 years or so. Its a solid neighborhood place. The food is standard American fare. Simple but good. Its family friendly so bring the kids. The bar seats about a dozen and the bartenders are friendly and efficient. For many years it was cash or check only. They now take credit cards.

  • Review 126 (2018-04-08 - Rating: 5)

    At Lukes youll always be treated like a regular. One of few places remaing in the Upper East Side that has such a feel. The staff is friendly, the owner can be seen chatting it up with patrons, and the food is consistent. All things youd want from a neighborhood spot.

    I have been a Lukes customer since 1998. This is the real life Cheers and Ted Dansen has real hair. Consistent quality at a great value. The owner is a friend to the community. Great place for family get togethers. My daughter now age 12 has been going there since she was very young and loves the soups there. The burger is world class. This upper east side jewel is one of a kind. Relaxed and easy going yet with NYC quality.

  • Review 142 (2016-01-13 - Rating: 4)

    Relaxed feel and quality drinks that are reasonably priced for the area. Food is typically solid and better than most bars.

  • Review 146 (2019-07-11 - Rating: 5)

    I live and work along the A-Train (Inwood and UWS) , so its not often that I get to the UES, but one night last September I stumbled into this place and saddled up to the bar with my boyfriend. The bartender, hes a star.; gregarious, knowledgeable, on it! The food...wow! Off the menu, specials, it doesnt matter. They make everything with quality products and put care and attention into it. Their secret ingredient must be love! Weve been back once a month, going to the UES just for Lukes, and wish we could visit more often.
