7 Seafood Chains With the Best Lobster Rolls

Lobster rolls are an American delicacy. According to Sandwich magazine, the treat, consisting of cooked lobster meat inside of a grilled, split-top bun, was "born of convenience and ease" in the 1900s and "cemented itself as a regional staple" across New England. Now, you can get one pretty much anywhere in the world – but not all lobster rolls are created equal. Here are 7 seafood chains with the best lobster rolls.

Luke's Lobster

Luke's Lobster serves "seafood harvested in clean waters, gently handled by fishermen we trust, expertly processed at our own seafood facility in Maine, and cared for at every step to ensure perfect flavor, texture, and food safety," the brand writes on its website. The most popular products sold at its "shacks," located everywhere from California and Washington to Chicago and all over the east coast, are undoubtable lobster rolls. And, they are so popular that you can even purchase lobster roll kits on Luke's website and compose them wherever you live.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e
