Super Fantastic food! From the outside kind of looks like laid back casual taco spot! Inside very causal yet cool surfer vibe. Service and margaritas were great. Not fancy! Laid back, casual! The menu and what came out of the kitchen was exceptional and "5" worthy alone. We had some sushi grade tuna tacos with crispy wonton style shells. The tacos were dressed with all the right flavors and additions you would expect from a top sushi joint. Excellent! We also had Moroccan spiced lamb sliders! Wow good! Perfect! Go to the Gig Shack just to get this! 100% worthy the trip. Id say the menu is somewhat surfer-fusion with California taco influence. There are lots of options. We are glad we tried Gig Shack and will return. Highly recommended casual, cool vibe location, with fantastic food! read more

I've been coming here since 2018 and never missed a visit whenever i'm by Montauk and they have never failed me every single time. The food is consistently great, the people are awesome, and the ambiance is always top-tier. Whenever I get a chance, I always get a bowl of mussels as my entree at restaurants and they have the best one by far! I'm already thinking of going back for it before we head home. My son loved their kids quesadillas as well. Definitely worth the stop if you are in the area. read more

FIVE STARS for the key lime pie alone! I've not been this excited about key lime pie since 2013 in Key West! This was the best I've had since the first time I've ever tried it. The mussels were great too. We ordered both the white wine mussels and Thai (both good but white wine better). Order mussels with extra broth if you're sharing. The chicken was good with the chili sauce. Duck was ok. The tuna taquitos were VERY good. Cheesecake was creamy and good as well but, obviously the highlight was the key lime pie then the mussels. read more

We got margaritas with Codigo tequila. I rarely have high end tequila with my margarita so this was a treat. It was delicious. It was spicy and yummy. We also got smashed little potatoes that were delicious as well. The only downfall is that it is very pricey two drinks and an appetizer was almost $60. read more

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Montauk!!! The food is the best in town and they have RANGE. From Thai mussels to fish tacos to chicken wings to ribs to pasta dishes to lamberginis to fresh tuna tartare, they can do it all (which a lot of restaurants can't say). A lot of their ingredients are local and seasonal which makes it even more special!! Ambiance is 10/10 - major surf town, coastal, classic local MTK vibes. Super cute fresh flowers everywhere and the most whimsical details. Unreal drinks, staff is always fun and so friendly as well. The place is run by the best local family and they easily make Montauk feel like home for everyone. If you're looking for a place where everything on the menu is 10/10 and feel the most fun Montauk vibes yet, look no further. And don't forget to try the key lime pie!!!! read more

Hot lobster roll has great presentation, but it's an 8/10. Bar service seems like everywhere in Montauk, if you're a local, you're treated well, but if they don't recognize you, there's no real hospitality or service. I sat at the small bar and nobody paid attention, when they finally noticed me, I had to ask for a menu and water instead of being presented with it, ya know, like you do when a guest sits down. I would give 3 stars because, as a hospitality professional, I would appreciate better service when spending $49 on a lobster roll. What am I tipping for? However, in general, I think this is a cute spot close to the beach, I hope they do better. read more

Such a fun place! The vibes and tunes are great. It's a popular spot so expect a but of a wait if you're there at prime time. We had about a 20 minute wait around 7-8PM on a Monday night, and by they were ready to seat us they were telling people it was an hour wait! The food was fresh and delicious. We had a really nice time. The only bad thing I can say is that we ordered an empanada appetizer off the menu not realizing that it was truly just one empanada - while delicious, it was a bit disappointing for the price and not what you expect when ordering an appetizer to share! read more

Food and service were excellent, great kids menu, chix fingers and grilled cheese options and our 7 & 9yo daughters couldn't have been happier. My husband and I were starving so bacon cheeseburgers were a must and I having a gluten intolerance I was grateful for a gluten free bun. I can't imagine how packed this place must be during peak summer time but coming off season was perfect for us. Will definitely be back in September. And I highly recommend the spicy marg! read more

Came here for dinner on a weekend get away with my wife to Montouk and the food here was amazing. Upon arriving the inside was packed, and me and my wife really didn't want an eat outside because it was cold that night. The waitstaff guy outside was very nice and sat me and my wife next to a lamp that was outside and it was a little warmer. For an appetizer we got a Cuban empanada and it was out of this world. A lil small and you only got one for $12 dollars but it was excellent. For entrees I got a pat La Frieda bacon cheese burger that was out of this world. I love pat La Frieda blend of burgers and steaks. Pat La Frieda is too tier and the burger was amazing. My wife got the Hawaiian baby back ribs that were some of the best ribs I had in a long time. Ribs were small but very good and packing a lot of flavor. They give you a full rack and the corn bread that comes with it was some of the best corn bread I ever had. This place was very good and I highly recommend if you're staying in Montauk. read more

Came here on an off season Monday night, but all my expectations were blown away one after the other. Starting with the atmosphere, it's pretty unassuming from the front and looks like a typical dive bar, but it's got a lot of charm once you get inside and get to experience some of the eclectic design choices. Huge shout out to our server Blaine and the kitchen staff for accommodating our large-ish party and a whole boat load of questions and requests we had. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and most of all patient! I'd probably recommend this place for his service alone. But luckily The Gig Shack has a lot more to offer than just that. We shared orders of the beet and goat cheese salad as well as the wings (which they subbed out for duck wings while we were there, which to me is just an improvement as a duck lover) and both were fresh and delicious. Wings come in orders of four so make sure you order enough for everyone! Trust me they are so worth it. For my main entree, I had the crispy chicken which was perfectly portioned and delicious, the mustard cream sauce I would put on damn well near anything. Also tried their ribs and they are were fall off the bone tender and could easily keep up with any BBQ joint I've been to. The rest of our party also tried the fluke, the clam chowder and the blackened tile fish and all of them had nothing but wonderful things to say. It may have been my first real stay out in Montauk, but this place definitely will be a place I bring friends for all my return trips. read more

I'm not even done eating and had to pause to write this review. This is the BEST Cesar salad I've ever had in my life. It's massive, 4 of us had it. There wasn't one crumb left because we were all in agreement that it was insanity. GET IT. read more

Hands down, the best food I've had in a long time. The lemon Caesar salad, smashed potatoes with herby sauce, and spanakopita over couscous were all incredible. We visited in October and sat on the enclosed patio, which was pretty cold, but the live music and the local vibe made it worth it. Service was good, and the whole experience felt authentic and laid-back. Definitely a gem in Montauk! read more

If I could give this place more than 10 stars, I would! The Gig Shack in Montauk is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I've ever had -- and that's saying something. We started with a local greens salad with figs and plums that was fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. The sweet potato, eggplant, and fried leek curry was a rich, comforting masterpiece, and the local sourdough bread with vegan whipped butter was so good we were tempted to ask for a second loaf to take home. Every bite felt both thoughtful and inspired. The music set the perfect mood, and the entire team was incredibly accommodating to our vegan diet -- not just in words, but in execution. The chef and owner personally came out to greet us, making sure we were happy with every part of our meal. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare. This is a 10/10 restaurant in every way. In fact, if there's one place in the Hamptons that truly deserves a Michelin star, it's this one. read more

If you love caesar salad like I do, you HAVE to go here during the open season. Their caesar salad incorporates dill into their home made caesar dressing and it is delicious beyond words. The croutons are made of toasted croissants. I mean, do I really need to say more about how insanely wonderful these salads are?! I have never craved salad before in my life until I tried this one. Every year I look forward to my trips to Montauk and the highlight of the trip is always my meal at the gig shack. There is nothing like it! read more

If you're in Montauk, you HAVE TO stop at the Gigshack. The food, service, and entertainment are so good. We went on a Monday night and we were surprised that they were already pretty crowded by 6:30pm. Arrive early as they do not take reservations. We got and loved the following: - Tuna tartare taquitos: 2 per order. Very light and refreshing. Perfect for sharing. - Pulled pork empanada: 1 per order. We cut it in half (but we also ended up ordering a second one because it was so good) for sharing. The pork is so tender and covered in a delicious sauce. This was such a good empanada! Served with some really good coleslaw. - The lobster roll! OMG - did these folks invent lobster roll on a croissant because it was both genius and delicious. Ignore the price tag, it's worth it. The croissant is piled high with lots of delicious lobster meat. We almost ordered a second one of these, but we were pretty full. - The key lime pie was also really delicious. The crust was full of flavor. Our server was extremely friendly, event amidst a packed restaurant. She even offered to bring us additional toasted bread for the sauce that came with our clams. The live music was also great. We'll definitely go back to the Gigshack the next time we're in Montauk. read more

They only take walk ups but the wait was not long at all. They were super busy but the staff was pretty attentive. We had to sit outside because we had our dog with us so I can't say much about ambiance, but it was a Sunday night and they had live music which was nice. We started with the blueberry lemonade whisky drink which was so refreshing and delicious. Then we got the Caesar salad which has dill in it and croissant croutons - unreal. I got the lobster roll (Maine style) which comes on a homemade croissant and it was delicious. There was just enough dill on there and it was so fresh. The slaw on the side was also phenomenal and the fries were perfectly crispy. Definitely worth checking out! read more

We were looking for a casual restaurant to eat at and someone at our hotel recommended we visit 668. It was in the perfect location for us to walk around downtown Montauk. We were able to be seated right away even though they were pretty busy. I loved that they offer GF buns so I ordered a lobster roll on. GF bun. We both ordered drinks as well that were really good. I love that even if you're sitting inside, due to the open doors and windows, it basically has an indoor-outdoor vibe. This was such a good place to stop before walking all over the area and enjoying the day. Definitely recommend! read more

We needed to have lunch after visiting the Montauk Lighthouse. We wanted just a light bite... my hubby ordered the Lamborghini (lamb sliders). They were served with red cabbage Cole slaw, which was quite tasty and enjoyable. The slider was okay initially as well. The ground lamb must have had a bone shard in it.... Hubby bit off a bite and broke his tooth. That was a bummer. I had the grilled asparagus with a sunny-side-up egg. This was a great play on a Hollandaise sauce... to complete the effect, I would have squeezed a lemon over the dish for that bite of freshness, or at least served with a lemon wedge. But, the dish was pretty and tasty! The vibe is fun, the music great. read more

Just ate here with my family and the comments at the table were: Husband: This is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had! Me: This lobster roll is what I've been craving since we got to Montauk!

Oldest daughter: These lamb sliders are making me want to write a 5 star Yelp review!!! So here's my review!!! I wish I could give them 7 stars!! I wish I had taken pics of the food before we ate bc it was all perfection!! And the drinks are amazing too!!! There was live music that tied the whole thing together!!! Amazing lunch!!

Giving the menu a once-over will confirm you're "not in Kansas anymore" as far as dining prices are concerned, but that is Montauk for you! As far as options for dinner in the area go, the Gigshack is a casual spot with decent service and a menu comparable to other places nearby. I ordered probably one of the most expensive hamburgers of my life here, and while it was good, I wasn't awed. read more

A beautiful day called for a trip to the end of Long Island and what a day it was. We got to Montauk later in the morning and were able to enjoy some of the shops before making our way to the The Gigshack for lunch. Viewing their Instagram, we learned that they have a number of specials but they're usually prepared for dinner. They look so good and our lunch was stellar so we can't wait to come back for dinner next time. We also learned that they come up with the specials that day Their specials are super creative and you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not trying them. People were waiting outside for the Gigshack to open and to be seated. Me and my cousin were one of those people. Even though it was such a gorgeous day we decide to dine indoors, but being this place is on the smaller side we didn't feel too far from all the other diners. We also weren't too far from the bar. We started out with a drink that had a popsicle swimming in a glass of Prosecco and it was the perfect drink for a nice summer day. We also had a long day ahead of us so we decided to split a few items that included the tuna tartare tacos, the pork empanada, and the Lamborghinis which were little lamb sliders. Everything was delicious and I couldn't ask for a better way to start the day. Definitely make your way here if you're in the area. Between the awesome service and the stellar food you will not be disappointed! read more

First time in Montauk and wanted to try out some local spots and 668 The Gig Shack did not disappoint! While the outside may not look like much it doesn't do the restaurant justice. The ambience and staff were fantastic. Service was nice and quick and all of the food was delicious. The Caesar salad was so yummy with crispy croissant shavings, the lamb sliders were mouth watering and the pulled pork was exceptional. A little pricey but that's Montauk for you. Would definitely return! read more

Legit a must try while in Montauk. I go here often and it never disappoints. Hands down the best Caesar salad with a lemony twist i've ever had, more than enough for two to share. If you like lamb you gotta try the Lamborghinis. Everything is so good. read more

tl;dr service is friendly, food is a bit expensive (probably due to its convenient location on the main street). The best thing(s) on the menu are probably the shellfish (Clams a la Kasbah, Spicy Thai Mussels). The rest of my party ordered the Baby Back Ribs, Panko Crusted Fluke, and Tuna Tartar Tacos, and everyone felt underwhelmed. The food wasn't bad, but I think at the prices they are charging, everyone just expected more. Debated between 3 and 4 stars, because the shellfish really was good (and appropriately priced), but everyone kind of felt like we could've gone elsewhere for better food. read more
