    Good to have some spot to get some snack or drink nearby lighthouse. As you can see on the map, no place nearby just park trees and ocean so, of course, the tourist attraction places the price point will be higher than regular but people is willing to pay as there are on vacation, why not? Anyway, I got an ice cream, fried calamari and soda. I was thinking about get some cocktail, but I saw that only few workers and they were busy, so I didn't want to bother them. Service was okay, you order everything at the cashier, and they gave you a number then after your food was ready, they brought the food to your table.

    Decent but overpriced food with little portion sizes. The fish and chips meal came with 2 normal sized fried fish with seasoned fries under. The chicken tender meal came with only 3 small chicken tenders and fries that barely had any meat in it. We also got the jumbo pretzel which was actually pretty good and huge. Since this was the only food spot near the Montauk lighthouse, I'm not complaining too much since we were hungry. But service was slow and nothing special at all.

    Maybe one of my favorite places I've eaten in montauk. Amazing views, shockingly great food, awesome service.

    Out visiting the lighthouse, and didn't expect to find a lunch spot near there. Lemme clarify, didn't expect to find a DELICIOUS lunch spot near. I got to try their lobster roll ($24) and blackened fish sandwich ($16). So worth, everything was amazing. They jam packed the lobster, which was super fresh and lightly dressed. They are very generous with the fish, as well. The sandwich/rolls came with a side of French fries, which were to die for and a refreshing cole slaw. Definitely worth stopping by if you're hiking/tourist-ing around the area!

    Chowder!

    George's Lighthouse Cafe is a Most Welcomed sight on a freezing cold day after sightseeing at the Lighthouse. You're gonna want to put in your order and work your way towards the fireplace for warmth. This place has little to no heat otherwise, so keep that in mind when the outdoor temperatures fall. This Cafe is the only place around and they know that so make sure you bring your wallet. Still, the Drinks are flowing, Tunes are Cranked and the Burgers are Deliciously Charred. Plus the Surrounding Ocean Views help make it all worthwhile. Business hours are the same as the Park's so they close at Sunset. Come and get your Munch on!!

    Stopped to visit Montauk and ate at this restaurant on grounds... seafood chowder and the lobster roll were amazing!!!

    This place is a really nice spot to grab a drink or some food after seeing the lighthouse or checking out the beach. The view is amazing and the bartenders were nice. Drinks were also reasonable compared to other places in the Hamptons. We didn't try the food but it smelled good! Pros: -Great View -Quick Service -Reasonable

    Worst food in Montauk. Terrible service and over priced. If I could leave 0 stars I would.

    Awesome Bloody Mary
    Dina S.

    Beautiful views awesome bartender delicious bloody Mary's we didn't eat anything but the drinks were great my friend had a piña colada there was no skimping on any alcohol. Again must recommend stop if you go to the lighthouse go grab a drink after beautiful water views excellent service.

    Mozzarella Sticks , and Seafood combo - calamari , fried clams , French fries and fried fish.
    Jonathan R.

    This is a very chilled relaxing spot to come too . They serve mostly quick eats / fried foods . All in all the food is good minus the calamari . For the most part the drinks are really good and potent, they definitely don't skimp on the alcohol, you get your money's worth. The service is very good , they're very friendly . Good vibes.

    Be careful paying with a credit card, the cashier included an extra 30% tip without my permission.

Truly, the cocktails and menu at this restaurant are so inventive and flavor packed it feels as if there has to be something supernatural happening in the kitchen and behind the bar. We came here in early May and sat at the bar. Dillon took great care of us, walked us through the menu and made stellar recommendations all around. After having my mind blown by the Everything Bagel Martini, we moved on to share the charred octopus and Leggy's Thighs. The charred octopus was tender, and paired so well with the citrus fruits on this plate, plus the bite of pistachios?! So well put together. Leggy's thighs (RIP Leggy) were literally the best chicken I'd ever had, fall off the bone tender and topped off with flavorful furikake and hot pickled fresno chilis. We also split the Wagyu sando which I'm literally still thinking about. Wagyu on milkbread?! What an excellent idea. Live acoustic music was going on the night we were here which really added to the cozy ambiance. They also have trivia here on Thursdays (Dillon, if you're reading this, we hope your team wins the championship). 10/10 no notes. Come here if you can get a table.

Well it was quite a disappointment! The sauce had no flavor at all and needed a lot of sauce. What makes a shakshukah great is a nice runny yoke! My friend got a semi runny yoke and I got over cooked well-done egg which was the last straw. I ate it and kept my mouth shut but I would not recommend. Not to mention that the dish was very expensive for what it is. My wife's egg sandwich was OKAY, and the only thing that looked pretty good was someone's scrambled eggs and bacon. Next time I'm in Montauk I will be skipping this place.

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!

We worked with Erin, the taproom and events manager there, to plan the event, and she was extremely flexible, thoughtful, and organized every step of the way. We had about 90 guests there on a Thursday from 7-10pm, and this was truly a highlight of the wedding weekend! Our guests absolutely loved trying all the different beers on tap and getting a taste of beautiful Montauk. We had pizza from Sausages delivered and Montauk Brewing had tables set up outside for us. It was the PERFECT casual welcome drinks we were looking for and we feel so happy Montauk Brewing has begun doing these private events. The back room has also been turned into more indoor event space, with high top tables among the brewery tanks. Highly recommend planning an event with Erin & Montauk Brewing -- you will love it!!

It features a small, cozy taproom with just a few bar stools, along with a sunny outdoor patio lined with picnic tables--making it a great place to relax and enjoy brews like the Driftwood Ale or Wave Chaser IPA. As for pet-friendliness, this spot is top-notch. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome both inside the taproom and out on the patio, which is a huge plus. They even released a PAWesome IPA that supports local animal rescue efforts-just one more reason we loved stopping by with our pup!

We arrived at 4 and other people were also arriving and we all had to wait to order our food. Our fried calamari was incredible and definitely fresh.

My husband ordered the spicy salmon and shrimp tempura roll. He said they were very good but couldn't been colder. Our flourless chocolate cake extremely lacked flavor and didn't taste fresh.

Service - 2/5 - place was jammed, but still very slow. Ambiance - 5/5 - nice location with live music. Overall - 3/5 - stand by my original 3 star review. This place is a bit overhyped and you pretty much pay for the experience of eating there. Food was a mixed bag, some dishes really good, others are whatever. The Tuna with lentils was by far the best. Service was very slow, you cannot make a reservation so you are playing Russian roulette walking into the door. Even the place being busy, still took way too much time get things moving. You pay for the location, nice spot on the water, live music, modern inside, that is where you pay. All things considered, probably would not return. Best Dish - Tuna with lentils Would Return - Not likely
