    Service: the service was very quick and reliable. Very nice waiters and kind people here. They park your car for you here because they're always busy it may be not ideal for some but you can just do it they won't rob you. You may tip the guy who parked your car, but I was already parked. It felt a little forced in my opinion. Food: the lemonade was too watery I didn't like it that much, it tastes like a basic cheap powder lemonade in my opinion. I ordered the Baja fish tacos. I was blown away by the savory taste of the fish tacos. They tasted like they just got off the boat. An amazing taste and culinary experience. Everybody the tacos was like entering a different dimension of flavor. It was an amazing taste. I loved it a lot. It came with a side of like corn salad. I thought it was OK a little spicy a little kick to it. Very good meal I approve. I love it. I love John Scott. My friend got the basic cheeseburger. My friend thought the burger was wonderful. He described it as beef. He was very happy that the burger was cooked a medium rare as he asked as many places don't cook it as so, very pleasant. My friend Josh got the fish and chips. He thought it was very good The fish and chips had a good crunch to it. He said " the fish was amazing and crispy, you can tell it was beer battered. The fries were so fresh and so delicious amazing experience. The buffalo chicken shrimp is really good my friends said so basically everyone was very happy with their meal I recommend the fish tacos I loved them! Definitely check this place out if you're in the area for good sea food, cheers!

    Went on a Sunday afternoon, service was fast and friendly. The food was equally good. Clean table and restaurant. Nice job guys

    Visiting lifelong friends in the Hamptons. They recommended this restaurant for lunch. Great choice! Seated promptly in an upbeat manner. Mike, our server was friendly, made good recommendations, and seemed to genuinely inquire about our meal and if we were doing well. Quohouge was tasty, not too bready. Fish tacos were fresh tasting and loaded with fish. The corn-based slaw was refreshingly delicious. I had a lobster with drawn butter, a potato, and corn on the cob. All delicious. I enjoyed some of my wife's crab cakes ... and highly recommend. Montaik draft beer, I think, was tasty. Thanks Mike (see photo) for making a really good meal better!

    Typical fried seafood joint. Prices are on par for the area. If you're looking for a place with a water view, you'll find that here but at a distance. The only reason I took off a star is because I got a gnarly sunburn. Before being seated, the hostess mentioned that they only available seat they had was in the sun. We were seated at pretty much the only table without an umbrella.

    Four stars is for our Server, Nick and the food. The hostess is miserable. Maybe she's overworked like everyone in the restaurant business this summer? Tables are empty and people are sitting outside waiting to be seated. Minimum of an hour to sit and wait. Bring the bug spray! Great fries!

    Bowl Of Shrimp
    Erin B.

    Good food, great drinks, best vibe/view. Cajun calamari was absolutely delicious, has a kick to it. Bowl of shrimp was SO GOOD, but different. It wasn't spicy, but great so the spices don't get your nails dirty. Best part was the vibe. It is super laid back with the games like cornhole to play in the back. Yes it's the hamptons, but it's still nice to just relax. Only negative - parking. Walk if you can. Very small parking lot and may have to wait

    I can eat 10 of these they are so good. It's the stuffed quahog. The other food is ok to me but you can't beat the vibe of this placed

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