    Sundays are busy! Service was a bit slower than usual and our table was quite hidden by a wall. However, our service was great and appreciated for how busy it was.

    Don’t know where to start. We went here with high expectations because of the great reviews. Sadly the hostess wasn’t friendly. She didn’t even greet us. We were seated at our reservation time. We noticed the manager had to ask one of the waiter to bring us water. She said our waiter took a restroom break s she’ll be taking our orders. We immediately put in order for two dozens raw and some fried oysters. It was quick, came out to the table in under 5 minutes. The server literally slap it down at the corner of the table and walked away. We literally waited over 15 minutes and had to track down a waiter to take our drink orders. Another 10 minutes go by and still no drink and we had finished our oysters. Oysters were fresh and good. I was dying to try the Bread pudding but didn’t want to have to wait for another 30 minutes so we asked for the check and left.

    First time at Luke before a proposal! New brunch spot for us. Wait staff, management, and food were all above par. Murder point oysters were great and you could tell they cleaned the shells which you don’t see often. Pork belly app melted with each bite in the best way. Shrimp and grits/green tomato Benedict were unreal. Big thank you to all the Luke staff for being an unforgettable part of our very special day.

    Devin and Zara were so lovely! We were so pleasantly surprised by the food and quality tonight at dinner. Portions are generous and affordable, and the service was impeccable. We will definitely be back, and I will recommend Luke after tonight. 10/10

    What a pleasant surprise! This place is across the street from my hotel. Popped in for a quick lunch and had legit gumbo and a fried oyster salad with bacon croutons, cherry tomatoes, and avocado, both outstanding. French press coffee to finish. I will definitely come back for dinner.
