    Cold lobster roll
    Adam B.

    This place is iconic ... at one point, before the commercialization of the Montauk area, this was one of only two options for true roadside seafood stands in the area. Now, there are too many to count ... but this is the classic. I am not sure if it changed hands ... managers ... owners, etc. but the last few years made it not as good as it used to be. That's not to say it's bad. It's fucking great ... and probably always will be. But it just seemed like one of those spots where everything clicked and it was a true 5-star experience that was just on point. As in, perfect. Now, it's just great ... and I'll take that. Food: - I always get the cold lobster roll. Spoiler alert ... You are not going to get the same lobster roll you see on their Instagram and social. I was taught to always under promise and over deliver when it comes to marketing. The social media that shows giant, red chunks of lobster meat in a light dressing? Not really the case. You'll get mostly knuckle and shredded claw meat. A few chunks but their IG page is the equivalent of a McDonalds menu board showing crispy lettuce, fluffy buns and thick char-grilled burgers, when we all know what you actually unwrap. Having said that, this will rival anything you get in Maine ... or anywhere else. The meat is fresh and the dressing is perfect ... a little mayo, celery chunks and slight seasoning. The bun was toasted ... but not with butter ... which is too bad because that makes a huge difference. I probably could have eaten 25% more sandwich and been satisfied but I will admit that it left me wanting a few more bites for the price. Their fish and chips are my favourite ever. Freshly cut fingers of cod loin fried in light tempura batter. That makes all the difference. I have noticed that you used to get thicker rectangles in the past. Now, the pieces are a bit thinner. I'd recommend getting the full portion. The appetizer portion is a bit skimpy with 4 smaller sticks. Also ... the printed menu says $8 and the price charged is $10. Having said that, I have never had better fried fish. French fries are crinkle cut. Shake Shack stole this. Nothing special ... bagged and delicious. The service: Awesome. It is clear they hire people who truly enjoy working here. They are very capable and on the ball. Most don't use pads and remember your order. Our waitress was cheerful but not over the top ... very friendly and made our meal better. Atmosphere: Inside is a typical beach bar decor. Not fancy at all. The outdoor patio is where you want to sit. The two top tables are placed a bit awkwardly ... you are literally bumping elbows with the table next to you, it's that close. Also, don't expect privacy in your conversation. Also, they look at the tables across from you, so you kind of feel like you are watching someone else eat uncomfortably. Not to mention I had to look at a fat guy's butt crack who was sitting across from me at a picnic table for the whole meal. Overall, this is a classic roadside beach snack shack. Sure, prices are high because you are in the Hamptons but everything is fresh and good and worth the splurge. The music is fun, 1980's tunes and a very good and relaxing playlist. I'll continue to come back even though we're at 4 - 4.5 stars vs. the old days of 5+.

    Summer isn't summer without a lobster roll at Lunch. It was a beautiful day, the restaurant is bright and clean. Service is friendly and welcoming (thanks Vincenzo!) I devoured my lobster salad roll and creamy Cole slaw. My husband opted for seafood chili and licked the bowl clean. It was full of lobster, shrimp and scallops, topped with cheese and accompanied by sturdy tortilla chips to scoop it all up. He finished with the frozen key lime pie (key lime is his all time favorite) and gave it two thumbs up.

    4.0 / 5.0 Speaking of Montauk, this is the place to be! It was crowded with many customers from the moment it opened. I gave my name at the reception and waited about 10 minutes, but the turnover was good so I was able to enter without waiting too long. The restaurant was larger than I expected, with table seats, counter seats, and terrace seats. I ate on the terrace, but there were umbrellas and other measures to provide shade so I didn't feel the heat of the sun. The famous lobster roll was delicious, but the Baked Stuffed Shrimp was also very tasty with a strong garlic flavor! I recommend sharing it with the roll. The staff were all kind and gave me a coloring book for kids. There are also two clean restrooms.

    Good food. Service is efficient. Sat outdoors under the plant balcony. Unfortunately it was a bit cold but the food was fortifying. Better value here. Hot lobster roll was a DIY adventure. Manhattan seafood chowder was satisfying, full of flavor and goodies. Clam strips were meaty and delicious. Crab cakes were good too, with minimal fillers and binders.

    Excellent as per usual. Got my lobster roll fix here, and sat outside on the back patio. Great place, great staff, great food, friendly and fast service every time I come here.

    A must lunch stop while visiting the Hamptons! They easily accommodated our party of 5 after only a 15 min wait and a drink from the bar. Recommend the Lavender Gin Lemonade. We all got the Hot Lobster roll which comes with a side of slaw. We shared crinkled fries and onion rings. Had a fun celebrity spotting too!

    This restaurant is by far my favorite stop right before entering into Montauk. This place just brings back so many great memories of vacationing here with my family. My fiancé and I decided to come here for dinner and when we arrived it was busy but not packed. Our waitress came right to our table and served us drinks and our food came out pretty quick. I ordered the crab cakes platter with coleslaw and french fries. The crab cakes were so tender and they fell apart easily when cutting into them but they were very delicious. My fiancé ordered a lobster roll because he hasn't had one in years and he was very happy with it. The inside of the restaurant had a very nautical look and just felt like you were on a boat. Again, I have nothing but nice things to say about this place and we can't wait to return!

    This was on so many reels and Tik toks for must try places when you're in the Hamptons. So, obviously we had to try it! It wasn't busy so we were able to get a nice table outside. I can't remember the name but I had a banana pina colada of some sort that was really good! I started off with the seafood dip which was a bit too spinachy for my liking. The hot lobster roll was delicious! It comes deconstructed so you have to make it yourself but it's definitely a winner

    So happy to find this place again! I stumbled across it years ago and knew it when I passed it again this weekend. We got lucky and didn't have to wait long for a table. Everything was so delicious and fresh. We started with the fish bisque and New England clam chowder. I'm a chowder girl and this one definitely measures up. We got one of each of the styles of the lobster rolls and the fish&chips app. Everything was perfect. So much lobster in each roll. Our waitress was lovely. Look forward to coming again.

    So absolutely delicious - cold or hot you can not go wrong with a lobster roll here!! Staff was incredibly nice and the food came out fast. Side note, they have the best cherry coke!!

    Outdoor seating last night. The warm and cold lobster rolls are still 5 stars. Didn't have the clam strips this time but I did order the dozen clams. The lobster bisque was so good. I had to take another back home for later tonight.

    How much are Lobster Rolls this season?

    I don't recall the exact price but looking at my credit card statements for 2 people , 2 apps, 2 lobster rolls , and 1 beer with tip was just under $120. So I would say each roll was low $20s/ roll . Well worth it. The place is so fresh and…

There was no staff member available to check us in, and after receiving the access code to our room, we discovered the door lock was malfunctioning. The room itself was also noticeably darker and less clean than advertised. Additionally, several amenities promoted as part of the property were unavailable. The on-site restaurant was completely closed throughout our stay, there was no water or ice station, and there was not even a vending machine available for guests. Perhaps most concerning was the complete lack of on-site customer service. There were no staff members, security personnel, or anyone available to assist guests in person. We were instructed to text a phone number if we needed assistance. During our stay, I requested an iron via text and never received a response. The property is marketed as a resort experience, but our stay was anything but. The lack of basic services, unavailable amenities, and absence of guest support made for a frustrating and disappointing experience.

Firstly, the front desk is only open from 1 to 7 each day. I got there around 6:30 with an extremely unhelpful girl at the front desk. She was normal but no help at all. I had to come back out and ask her for Wi-Fi ask if there are any amenities, she just shrugged her shoulders and said she didn't know I saw and noticed there were a few bicycles which I noticed were part of the amenities on the website and a main reason why I chose this place so I'm able to bike around and explore, upon further inspection every one of the four bicycles were broken. Tires were flat handlebars were pointed downwards, cause they weren't tightened enough the brakes didn't work and one of the bikes chains were completely off. I went in after I tried driving down the hill with no brakes and almost crashed. Spoke to the girl again she shrugged her shoulders. I said why don't you come out here so I can show you and she said yeah I don't know what to tell you. I told her these are super unsafe and you can't let anyone drive them. They will literally fall apart. When I tell you, these bicycles were so terrible and completely put together wrong. The restaurant is closed for the season. No one's there. There are no places around the area to get anything. So I walked about a mile into town instead of ordering a $40 Uber. Honestly bummed that I have to stay here another night at the end of the month.

I'm sure there are numerous summer hot spots in the Hamptons that one can lay out at but here the staff was super sweet and ultra attentive. Parking can be slightly challenging because all spots are not overtly clear.

Not a large space but comfortable with separate pool, bar and patio areas. It would be nice if it was adult only, but kiddies are allowed too. Just A Note: Lyft is now servicing the Hamptons and Breakers Montauk is only a short Lyft from the LIRR Montauk stop.
