They denied my friends and I at the door after seeing IDs from different states. They are not able to check IDs from Kentucky, Louisiana, and Florida. They told us that scanning them wouldn't prove anything- we showed other credit cards, student IDs and even social security cards. All around, the bouncers were bullies and couldn't check IDs properly-one of their main jobs. read more

Been to John Scotts many times over the years. First time I checked the bill. OMG! Charged us for 2 bottles of Pinot Grigio. We only had 2 glasses. Funny, it was cash only for Lobster Night. Watch it folks. You won't get an apology from the waiter nor the lady manager. Cash night.....was the bill to disappear??? read more

Love this place. A local roadside "dive" that is well loved by the community. Food is always fresh. Gets crowded so best bet is to go on an off time. read more

My wife and I have been coming here for about 3 years now and we really enjoy the atmosphere, food, and staff - and don't mind the decent prices either . Our affection for this quaint little fish shack grew even fonder when last night, Glenn, the guy checking IDs at the door made a passing comment on my outfit. "Dope shoes, bro" he said, and my heart nearly melted. I have frequented many nightclubs and bars in the Hampton bays area all my life, but have never been approached with such a friendly and positive attitude by any other ID checker. Only a guy who feels utterly confident in himself doesn't mind calling out another guy's swaggy outfit. Clearly Yeezys don't make Glenn feel uncomfortable. Needless to say, Glenn's compliment on my shoes absolutely set the tone for the rest of my night. In fact, a few hours into the night I was sipping my beer and noticed Glenn outside near the ID checking area, leaning on the fence. We made eye contact, he smiled and gave me a thumbs up. Awesome. I love this place. Thank you for making me feel so welcomed. Outside of some weirdo who had the nerve to waltz around in an unbuttoned euro v neck sweater was the only detriment to the overall ambience of the evening. He was even asked to humbly button up his shirt but refused. If it weren't for this guy's contentiousness, this might've been the best night of my life. Millers, Out of the Blue (worst lobster rolls and seafood) and Dockers just lost all of our business. read more

John Scott's Surf Shack - Glenn - ID checker. Really cool guy. - Salad Near Me - Westhampton Beach, New York

Very busy place, we had to wait in line on the road in our car to get in. This is a cool local place with an island feel. It happened to be WING Monday and wings were only $.10 each. We also ordered calamari, fries, and a lobsters role. The desserts were nothing fancy, but very good. read more

Went to Johns on Labir Day for Lunch. Staff was friendly and very attentive. We ordered margaritas and lobster rolls ( mine on lettuce wrap) food came out fast and the portion was enormous. The lobster roll was loaded with big chucks of lobster and the fries were hot and crispy. Great experience! read more

Good spot. Nice people and good food. The wings are great.

I've been going to John Scott's for over 10 years. love the place and atmosphere. Great lobster roll and excellent service.

Not to bad. Gets crowded and parking lot gets crazy. But food is decent. Only have done takeout.

John Scott's has something to offer everyone, they offer great lunch and dinner options from seafood to steak to vegetarian. Both inside and outside seating depending what you feeling, the outside seating overlooks a great view of the Moriches Bay. Monday nights they have a great wing night, 20 cent wings and they are great, just get there early. They offer live music outside and is a family friendly atmosphere. Good food, good people 100% recommended . read more

Excellent place to unwind after beach for the day. Wing nights get busy so be prepared

DO NOT go there for wing night on Monday night. We came for a company night out of 10 people and were all ordering drinks, wings apps and entrees. 45 minute wait to get a parking spot. The waitress was EXTREMELY rude to EACH one of us. I asked for paper towels and she shot us the dirtiest look. Whenever we said thank you she did not even respond. She was very pushy and was giving an attitude when we took more than a minute to order a drink after just sitting down. It was unreal. THEN they asked us to leave and half of us were not even finished with our drinks. We were no a rowdy crowd by all means, just a company night out for dinner and a few drinks. Will never be returning. read more

Fun very low key , easy except for parking. I love the COHOGS. They have specials like lobster day during the week. Weekends impossible to get in. We go during the week. read more

What a little gem. Good drinks, we only had appetizers but they were delicious. Your own bowl of peel and eat fresh shrimp, fresh mozzarella tomato and basil kabobs and Miami vice's. All excellent. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The outside has a small view of the water which was beautiful your right near the beach and it's cheaper and much better quality then the Beach Hut that's at the beach. Friendly service and not bad on your pocket especially for the Hamptons. It's not a huge place on the smaller side. Bartender and servers and even the clientele were so nice and friendly. Can't wait to go back. read more

LOVED EVERYTHING!!!!! It was so much fun. The atmosphere was so fun and beachy. There was live music and the service was great. The lobster roll was to die for, the honey BBQ wings were so good and the muscles and steamers were delicious!!! Don't miss it!!! read more

Great place to come on a monday night in the summer! LOCATION: On dune road towards cupsogue beach, inbetween all of the giant summer homes. DECOR: Very tiny place, most of it is outdoors. The inside is small and cramped with a bar and a few booth tables for eating. The outside is cute, lots of picnic tables with umbrellas sheilding you from the sun. Bathrooms are kind of gross. FOOD/DRINK: Food wise I have only ordered the 10 cent buffalo wings, fries, and a ceaser salad. All of which were very satisfactory. Good size portions, especialy with the wings being that you can order up to 40 at a time with the 10 cent special on monday nights. The salad was about 8$ without chicken, 14$ with (pretty pricey but its westhampton so its what you expect). I've seen waitresses bringing out alot of lobster rolls and seafood though, which look always look delicious. Again its a bit pricey for those, especially when you get into lobster dishes. DRINK: The fisbowls are great! 25$ but well worth it. I usually share it with about 3 other people and about 2 of the fish bowls will get us all feeling prettyyy good so that means their definitely pretty strong (especially compared to the fish bowls at that Canz restaraunt if you've ever been there- those arent strong at all compared to john scotts!). SERVICE: Pretty average, friendly waitresses. It annoyed me that I couldn't take home leftover 10 cent wings but I guess thats because its part of a special. I do however really like how they always have live music outdoors. Usually just someone singing with a guitar, nothing crazy. but still nice. read more

First time here and well I gotta say, best environment ever. Awesome service... best bartender ever. Page was the best. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you guys for having the best bar/pub ever. Food is also the best. read more

Location is A ++. Food is pretty good too. Amazing sunsets over the bay make for a relaxing atmosphere.Touristy to the max and when the band is playing, loud! Great wing special on Monday night...10 cents a wing! That's a deal. Enjoy a cocktail and some appetizers and you will be a happy camper. read more

I'm stunned there is any stars for this horrible place. I don't even know where to begin. The food is gross,the drinks are packed with ice and no liquor. It's overpriced,the staff is incompetent. It's location is prime so it's beyond me why they can't serve quality food and drinks. It's on Dune Road ,people have a few more dollars to pay for quality. We ate there yesterday and it was nothing short of gross. The crab cakes were fishy,every piece of food is frozen then fried...no fresh fish whatsoever. The pina coladas are all ice,even the soda tasted like crap. Avoid this place at all costs. Stay away unless you like garbage food,served by an incompetent staff and over pay for it. read more

Only a one word description, AWESOME. On the water, food is good, highly recomend the Shot Ski (if only I could remember which shot(s) we did). They also habe bubble gum vodka! read more

I went to John Scott's surf shack, I've been here many times over the years and always have loved it there and expressed that to friends and family of mine. I went there today for dinner and was extremely upset with my experience. I was sat down to eat, ate and enjoyed my meal. Soon after the food was served, the waitress asked if we needed anything else. We said we would order two more drinks and get the bill but would obviously like to finish our drinks before going. She said "that's fine please take your time." We got our second drinks and a few minutes later the waitress came up saying "we have a wait time now, you can move to the benches over there" meanwhile I'm still eating and there were other people on that specific bench at the time.... I said okay and she walked away. I continued to eat and finish my drink. Within that time I was approached yet again by the hostess this time asking me to move. I told her I was still eating and she said oh okay. Within another 7 minutes the manager had walked over and asked us again to move from the table or leave. Listen, I understand the business aspect and the "tip" aspect for the waitress, but I am actually appalled that while I (paid) and am still eating and drinking at a table in a restaurant establishment, that I am asked to leave simply because I am not moving fast enough for them. After years of coming here I very inclined to never come back. buoy 1 for the win. Trust me. read more

If you want to go to a joint that gives you the bare minimum, I have found the place! Staff is extremely aloof and arrogant. My guess is when they train their employees they specifically tell them to avoid eye contact. It took us 15 minutes to get a coke and they were at 25% capacity. The appetizers took 45 minutes. This is on a Monday afternoon at 2:00. The waitress is in my top ten worst waitresses. Food was mediocre at best. Its a shame that they are the only game in town. The manager came over in his dirty under shirt and asked me if everything was "ok?" And I said "Is anything ok?" I threw down some cash and left. In retrospect I should have never tipped the waitress the 20%, but I guess I have empathy. read more

An update on my review. My husband got food poisoning from the fish and spent the rest of the night and following day in the ER.

This place has a good atmosphere and vibe! Shoot it's on Dune Road, a great stop after Cupsogue or Pikes. .....my previous review, I'm now completely revising had some concerns about table cleanliness, that was a few years back and my concerns have been addressed and I have been back many times since! I had great food, service & the owners are friendly and very visible! Great Place!!! read more

We were recommended to eat here by a few locals. Bottom line up front, don't waste your time. You're paying for a water front view, which by the way is a small marsh, not the Atlantic. Steak was highly over cooked and when we told the waitress the only option she offered was to wait a long time for a new steak. Manager did not come to talk to us about it until we asked to speak to him at the end. Waitress acted extremely put out to have to print out separate checks for 6 guys. Oh by the way, the valet left our keys in another car who was kind enough to bring them back. Clown show! read more

After the years I've been going to Cupsogue with my family, we finally went here this past summer for dinner. It was my niece's birthday nd she wanted to go to a 'beachy place'.. We went here right after Cupsogue. Perfect vibe, very casual.. People were there like us in summer clothes over bathing suits and then people in polos and khakis. Very fun atmosphere. The wait was over an hour but we hung out at the bar. They had a guy singing playing guitar while everyone drank and ate. The back of the place, by the outdoor seating is the bay view of Westhampton and we were lucky enough to catch the sun setting while finishing up dinner. The food was really good. We all had their stuffed quahog that is huge- good enough as an appetizer .. And I had their grilled chicken salad which was delicious. Not a fan of seafood so that's why I got the salad-- everyone else that eats seafood said their food was good. Will def be going back this summer. read more

Stopped by on a little road trip on Dune road. This is the last bit of food you will find down there. We had the shrimp appetizer and Lobster roll. Now this was my first lobster roll ever. I had very high expectations and this one fell short. It was pretty much not so soft lobster with large pieces of celery on white wonder bread. Not what I was looking. I could see it being a good place to relax and have some pina coladas but food wise it was not a thrill. read more

Worst place i went in thehamptonsbut still not bad. Lobster special fir 25.99 was wayy over cooked. Grilled cheese for our little girl came out coldish. No frills familyplace. Nice band playing. read more

Love this place !! We come here often during the summer season for their steamers which are always delicious, and their mussels in spicy marinara is a must try for the sauce alone! We also love their chicken wings but we order them dry and they are our family fave ! If you like lobster Definitely go with the lobster roll, it is a generous portion of lobster meat on a potato roll. Don't miss their 10 cent wing Monday, But get there early as the car lines can get at least 10 cars deep in wait to get a parking spot ! read more

Great place to come to after the beach. Super casual, great music, friendly staff, and the food is pretty good too. My only complaint is I got eaten alive by mosquito's....but that's to be expected at an outdoor place right by the bay....saving grace---They had bug spray!!! Definitely a must try! read more

Great atmosphere! I had the coconut shrimp and recommend it! My husband had clam chowder and a cheeseburger! He liked them!!!

We've been wanting to get here but each time, the website says it's open and it's not. Today it was finally open after our day at Cupsogue. Please let me begin by saying I own a restaurant so I have a good understanding of how things work. We get there and are brought outdoors to the seating that is sort of facing the water, which is good since the weather is relatively conducive for sitting outdoors. We're told that the table we're interested in is not for us because they're going to be really busy soon for wings night. Ok, we select a different table. The girl who takes our drink and lunch order takes the order, no questions asked, and then I make my way to the restroom to clean up before eating, and I can hear her with other staff members chuckling over the quantity of food we ordered. Not nice. I get to the restroom, the toilet paper is sitting there in a massive roll while the dispenser is empty, and when I wash my hands, there's a filthy rag sitting on the sink. Lovely. We have our lunch, the food is pretty good but the edamame are beyond salty as were most of the dishes. The "Thai chili" dressing on the shrimp was just some spicy mayo. The margaritas were overly sweet and way off balance. We finished, paid, the guy walking around asked if we wanted our change "now" - nope, we're good, and that's it. Interestingly enough, those tables the hostess said would be super busy for wings night so we couldn't enjoy them were empty until we left. In fact only one table other than ours was taken. Not surprised. Not impressed. read more

Typically a good spot for a nice time at night on the water. Tumbleweed (NOT on Tumbleweed Tuesday but the weekend following LDW) is $50 'AYCE/AYCD' (allegedly to clean out all inventory but lately they've stayed open a few weeks following it) and a solid deal if you arrive early enough and have safe transport home. Restrooms and parking can also get a bit absurd as the night progresses, but when in Rome... read more

Food was underwhelming. Margarita was terrible, and should invest in expanding their menu and drink menu a little. I don't want to take away from the breezy beach aesthetic.... But has potential to be best of both worlds! read more

Excellent place! Lobster roll is the best ever, wings are great. The staff is nice. Yhe atmosphere is relaxed.

Terrible service. I tried to place a to-go order over the phone and my order was flat out refused. I was told the kitchen was too busy to service my order and the manger hung up on me. They did not even write down my order. Don't waste your time. read more

I just wanna give a shoutout to Trey, the most dashingly handsome man in this facility, thanks for knowing that ice cream should come with spoons!! read more

Great place to relax, take in some sun and listen to laid back music. Situated on Dune road, and overlooking the bay. Ordered the wings which were awesome!! And apparently a staple of the place, and also had the Shrimp skewer salad which was amazing. If you're in search of a great place to get cocktails after the beach, a decent meal and pleasant service, this is the spot to check out. Also, it is not over run by cidiots! read more

The view at this place is amazing. The food is pretty decent, but its a great place to just relax and hang out. I highly recommend it for groups of friends or a date! read more

The popcorn shrimp wrap is simple and delicious (and screams for a cold Modelo especial can to wash it down (hint hint @johnscotts)).
