We visited Hooked for lunch, and our experience didn't match the hype. The oysters we ordered were good but not well presented (broken shells and not over ice). The Mac and cheese tasted like Kraft easy mac and had just a few pieces of lobster in it. And the tuna was quite over cooked (we ordered medium rare and it came out light brown) and not seasoned at all. Perhaps we missed the mark in our order--as the 4.5 star rating suggests they're usually much better--but I was disappointed. read more

Not cheap, but great seafood. We have the whole lobster with mussels, the tuna bites, the tuna poke and the crab cakes. The crab cakes were something was missing, or maybe we didn't like that type of crab but we won't order that item again. Otherwise great place to gorge on seafood! read more

Best takeout in Montauk. Prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. Stop by you will not be disappointed. The staff is friendly.

I grew up on Long Island and started working at a seafood restaurant at the age of 16. I have tasted fresh fish empanadas in seaside villages in Uruguay and eaten smoked salmon straight from the smokehouses in western Ireland, and I will say this is truly authentic and outstanding American East Coast quick bites seafood. Just how it should taste and just as it should be priced. What I absolutely love about this place is that the prices are fair and in line with top quality, fresh seafood. So many seafood restaurants (especially in Montauk and the Hamptons) are totally overpriced and not at all worth the money. The fish is frozen or flown in from elsewhere. The food here is prepared fresh to order and with local ingredients. Lobster salad roll is superb. Not a true lobster roll but outstanding nevertheless. Fresh meat and very generously portioned! The owners are also lovely people. Very down to earth and they hire lovely people as well. I was in here after Labor Day and despite being totally packed and overwhelmed all in the midst of a pandemic these folks, including the employee at the register were friendly, warm, polite, patient, and engaging despite the stress of serving so many people. I was so impressed. Thank you so much for recreating a true Long Island seafood establishment! We have been needing one for a long time. It's been decades! read more

Incredible lobster rolls! Very generous servings of lobster with the right amount of fresh crunchy celery. The staff was very friendly and the service was super quick. They have lots of tables outside that are spread out for covid-friendly eating. Did I mention wine in a can? I will definitely come back next time I'm in Montauk! read more

Hooked I am! I came with my husband for a quick lunch which was delicious and always hot. I had the fish and chips and little necks. The food was absolutely delicious. We came back everyday of our vacation for the little neck clams! It became our snack of choice. $14 for a dozen Montauk clams! read more

We ordered lunch on the phone for a pick up order. Not sure why the woman wasn't listening when we placed our order: 1 arugula salad, 2 fish tacos, 1 fried clam strips, one chowder, 1 poke bowl and 1 mac and cheese. Never got the poke bowl. Got 3 orders of fish tacos......we were not walking back there. When we got there we got an order of shrimp cocktail from the refrigerated section. The food is good. Regretfully one person didn't get what she ordered after paying over $100 for lunch. read more

Fresh, reasonably priced lobster rolls - not much to complain here! Fast service, clean environment. Only wish was there was access to indoor seating- we were hit with some rain and got soaked under the umbrellas! read more

I ordered their fried clam strips, and they were awesome! It came in a boat, meaning a lot of them with fries. I recommend splitting it with someone if possible because it can be a lot, but I was impressed with the staff. They weren't too long of a wait, and you sit right outside. You're near the downtown area of Montauk and it's a beautiful view, especially on a beautiful day. read more

Nice people, great food. By mtk standards its on the cheap as well Def should hit while in town read more

We were cruising south and stopped in Newport. A friend suggested a new restaurant for us to eat. The food was great. The service wonderful. The owner and chef came by to check on us and we felt very welcomed. We will be back. It's also a short walk from the marinas read more

The prices of the food were pretty reasonable, I love seafood and the food came out pretty quick and tasted really good. My friend and I came here as a quick stop to get something to eat before we headed back home. I love the outside seating and how everything was super easy, the food gets brought to you and everything is disposable once you're done. read more

Had the best fish n chips of my life here. Very friendly staff, reasonable prices, fast service, and fresh seafood. Doesn't get much better than that. Montauk gem I was glad to find. read more

After a near-perfect day exploring the illustrious seaside town of Montauk, my girlfriend and I knew we had to settle for some local seafood. Since the immensely popular lobster roll was a little out of our budget, we looked to Hooked to satiate our appetites for some nautical fare. Boy, did they deliver! We settled for a order of calamari (which I believe was caught that day), I had the fish tacos and sweet potato fries, and my girlfriend had fried scallops and regular fries. Everything was incredibly fresh, and the accoutrements to my fish tacos were superb. The chili sauce for the calamari was excellent, and the fries were fresh and soft, but not soggy. Definitely recommended, and I hope to return sooner than later! A+ read more

The food was fresh and so so good! The staff was very Fran's helpful. Seating is at picnic tables outside,which was perfect for a beautiful Montauk day. read more

Reasonable prices but the food was not good. Tuna poke tasted like low quality frozen tuna with raw mushrooms over noodles. Tasted like it came from the IGA. Chowder is super creamy and average at best read more

Every dish on their menu is fresh and delicious! The staff is very friendly and the beach vibe is awesome!!!

Fresh, Delicious, and Best Value in town! 5/5! Hooked is the reason we returned to Montauk for a second trip two years in a row. Last August, we visited Montauk on a day-trip and found this gem. Ordered steamers, oysters and clams on the half shelf, and fried scallops. Each item was delicious and we thought that if we ever returned to Montauk, we know at least one place to go for fresh seafood. This August we made a three-day trip to Montauk with the aim of dining in Hooked at least once. We dined here two out of the three nights, and nothing we ordered disappointed us. Food - 5/5 stars. Ordered: - Grilled swordfish over greens - delicious. Fish was fatty and tender, and perfectly grilled. - Grilled tuna over greens - did not disappoint. - Steamers - fresh! - Tuna poke - chunks of fresh tuna perfectly marinated with their house sauce and vinaigrette placed on top of soba noddles, mushrooms and cucumbers. - BBQ baby back ribs - excellent non-seafood option. Ribs stays firm on the bone until you eat it and the meat comes off the bone cleanly. Served with fries and cornbread. - And lastly, the best surprise of them all, the tiramisu. Worth every calorie, penny, or whatever it is that you count. Service 5/5 stars - great service! Plain and simple. Servers are there when we need then, and not when we don't. Ambiance 4.5/5 stars. Most of the seating are outdoors in open-air. Only knock on the 0.5 stars is because they don't have their own bathroom for customers to use. If you need to use the bathroom, there is a public comfort station around the block. Hooked - thanks for the great experience. Keep it up. We hope to visit you each time we are in the area. read more

Had the fish and chips two days ago, and it was outstanding. The fish had a very fresh taste, and the batter was superb. The accompanying fries were hot out of the fryer and were equally good. In fact, it was so good that we ended up coming back to try their other offerings. The lobster bisque was rich and creamy, and the crab and corn chowder had a nice cajun kick to it without being overly spicy. We also had their fish tacos and lobster mac, and both were excellent. There is an incredible freshness to everything we ordered, and we could especially taste the local waters in the lobster meat. It's hard to describe but it's the kind of taste that can only be found in fish that's pulled straight out of the water. Aside from the food, Hooked also has a very clean establishment, the owner and his wife are great, and their offerings are locally sourced. The fact that it's also off the main road allows people to enjoy their meals away from the hustle and bustle of the Montauk Highway, and it's a great spot for anyone looking for a casual meal that holds its own against other places in town. We wish them all the best, and look forward to stopping by again. read more

New England clam chowder - really good, one of the better ones I've had. Fish tacos - mirroring one of the recent reviews, the slaw is good but the fish itself is so-so Lobster roll - decent for Long Island/its style. I honestly haven't come across many good lobster rolls in the NY area, so for local standards, it's pretty good. Would return to try the other dishes, just a pretty solid casual place to eat read more

My family has been raving about Hooked ALL summer! A favorite! Tonight we did take out... 3 orders: - grilled chicken sandwich and loved it. - baby-back ribs. They were rather large for baby-backs. And a little dry. The corn bread was very moist. Had Cole slaw instead of fries, large portion and was good. Almost like a broccoli slaw. - mahi mahi. It was also dry. Maybe it was an off night. Previously, family members have had and enjoyed: Kicking corn chowder NE Clam Chowder Fish and chips Will try again! Good deal - especially in MTK. Good seafood. read more

If I could give 3 1/2 stars I would. I went specifically to Hooked excited to try the lobster Mac and cheese. I was disappointed:/ it was just okay. The cheese flavor wasn't too appetizing but there was a good amount of lobster. My stepfather enjoyed his lobster roll! And my mom loved the canned wine, although it did cause $13 for one. read more

This a quick-serve/takeout seafood spot, and a solid one at that. We stopped in for lobster rolls and added their New England clam chowder to our order. I was surprised to find that, despite arriving only about 20 minutes after it opened on a weekday, the place was already busy. Fortunately we found seats at a picnic table alongside the building, and our food was still ready in less than 10 minutes. The lobster salad was very good, though the roll/bread was just all right. The chowder was also very good. We'd happily return next time we are in Montauk and maybe explore some of the other items on the menu. read more

Plenty of outdoor seating! Delicious lobster roll as per my wife. I personally enjoyed the soft shell crab sandwich, an excellent choice if you don't like lobster. The fried calamari was another solid choice, super crunchy and well fried. read more

The food was barely edible. The worst lobster Mac and cheese ever. Decent calamari, the only saving grace from that experience. I literally regretted having dinner that day. read more

Cute little spot in montauk, first off, the lobster roll was on Point where they gave a good amount of lobster meat. The Mac n cheese tasted more like a lobster bisque in my opinion, the kale salad was delicious especially the dressing they used and finally the oysters and clam were small for the price they charge so I won't be ordering those anymore but overall not a bad spot to sit and relax. read more

Great friendly staff, a novelty in Montauk these days , reasonably price for a lobster roll and delicious. Best clam strips ive had since i was a kid. Just an easy experience and again , in Montauk these days, that is the highest of compliments . read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and got two lobster rolls. The food was fresh and delicious! Also the workers were extremely friendly. We had come in right before the rush of people so the wait wasn't long but had it been I'd say it's worth it for the quality of the food. read more

The food was mediocre. Not only did they refuse to provide a cup of tap water for my children but will absolutely never go back. They refused to allow my 2 year old daughter to use the bathroom and sent us to a church across the street resulting in her having an accident. Disgraceful business management and if you have kids absolutely don't support this business. Businesses like this ruin the great reputation montauk has. read more

Exactly the type of place to order from over and over again... we did! Honest and fresh food with the best ingredients. Lobster rolls, calamari, and oysters were all perfect. read more

Get the steamers! I wish a few more came but honestly they were so damn good I'm still giving five stars. The pink lemonade was on point too. Wife got the lobster roll which she thoroughly enjoyed. A couple spots inside but mostly outdoor seating. Definitely recommended and will be returning for sure! read more
