*Hits cig.* Surf Lodge was a mind numbing experience. The capital of the Hamptons. The crowned jewel of keeping up with the Joneses. I'm convinced the Joneses run this place. Where does that saying even come from? There's no time to research. I found myself at a wooden picnic table, feet in the sand, drinking an $18 aperol spritz out of a flimsy plastic cup while looking at the $150 Popeyes Chicken Tender Tower dominating the table space in front of me. I became one with the surroundings: Rays of a setting sun lightly bounced off a picturesque lake, illuminating a linen draped crowd more fit to be on the Get Out movie set than to be at a club. You could cut the tension in the air with a butter knife. The crowd was getting restless. Fetty Wap was supposed to perform from 7-9pm, and the clock was about to strike 8. Rumors began swirling among the party goers like a voracious whirlpool. "He's right outside but won't leave his sprinter van...He must be green'd out... It's got to be a money thing... I heard it's too much booger sugar... They're starting to refund tables..." I wondered to myself "who wants 2 hours of Fetty Wap in 2026?" as I downed the last quarter of my spritz. I slammed the plastic cup on the table, and set off to the front to investigate for myself. I walked out to see a sprinter van right out front, with 4 of his crew waiting outside. I started a casual, diffusing conversation with the bouncer before I leaned in and said, "... is he good in there?" He responded with a firm "I don't know," as he walked the other way. Read right through my fake kindness. I lit another cig. I ended up standing out there for 20 minutes, just because I felt like one of the greats. Like Sherlock Holmes, Benoit Blanc, or Scooby Doo. I walked back in and ordered another spritz and fueled up off the grossly expensive Popeyes chicken. After 10 minutes, a "YEAAAAHHH BABBYY" roared through the speakers. The building erupted. Fetty had taken the stage. He ended up doing a lifeless performance of 4 songs, which the backtrack was CARRYING. It was oddly inspirational. I don't know what came over me, but as he left, I ran to the front to see him. Maybe him getting a BAG for doing 4 songs, which he barely even sang, really inspired me. It's so easy to make money if you really think about it. I overcomplicate life sometimes. Anyways, I ran to the front to try and get a picture before he got in the sprinter, but he was moving too quickly. Slow feet don't eat. BUT, I did get a selfie with his bum as he was getting in the trailer. I'm gonna frame it and hang it on my wall. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo read more

Where to begin... My wife and I have been coming to Surf Lodge since it opened almost 20 years ago, back when we had just started dating. We remember when it was actually a cool, laid-back Montauk spot. Over the years, we've watched it slowly morph into a cringe-worthy backdrop for influencers to photograph themselves pretending to have fun. Last night may have finally cured us of the place for good. We went for dinner and Diplo happened to be performing a set, so naturally the place was slammed with teenagers & 50-something's alike desperate to be adjacent to someone famous. At one point my wife was waiting in line for the restroom when a self-important, ridiculous man with a purse came barreling through, clearing a path for a group of influencer girls apparently too precious to navigate a hallway themselves. Clearly, saying "excuse me" wasn't sufficiently VIP, because he put his hands directly on my wife's breasts and shoved her against the wall to get her out of their way. We later learned this guy was a manager, which explains a lot about the culture of the place. A few hours and several margaritas later, my wife saw him again and called him out for putting his hands on her. Instead of behaving like a normal adult and saying, "Sorry, I was trying to clear the hallway and shouldn't have touched you," he went and got security to throw us out. Nothing screams "I know I handled that appropriately" quite like having security remove the woman who complains about you putting your hands on her. I was perfectly happy to leave. My wife--admittedly pretty well lubricated by this point--wanted someone on staff to understand why she was upset. Their response? "Nobody cares about your story. It's boring." Verbatim. Just an absolutely masterful display of hospitality. I went to get the car while my wife waited in the parking lot. Apparently Surf Lodge felt we hadn't yet received the full five-star experience, because an emaciated blonde employee working the door then started yelling insults at my wife about her weight. My wife actually started typing the employee's words into her phone while she was saying them because she wanted to make sure she remembered them correctly: "Leave! You'll look better, you angry fat fuck. Stop eating and you'll feel better. Good, go. You're so angry cause you're fat." That is a direct quote from a Surf Lodge employee speaking to a customer. Not that it should matter, but to be clear, my wife is a beautiful, average-sized mother of three. And this is where the whole place becomes almost too ridiculous to be offensive. There's a particular species of person who works the velvet rope at a trendy establishment long enough that they begin confusing their proximity to important people with actually being important themselves. It's the hospitality equivalent of the snooty retail employee at a luxury boutique who acts superior because, for eight hours a day, they get to stand near merchandise they can't afford. You work the door at a bar in Montauk. Nobody thinks you're cool. Calm the fuck down. And that's really the tragedy of Surf Lodge. Twenty years ago, this place was cool precisely because it didn't seem to give a shit about being cool. Now the entire place seems populated by people engaged in a desperate, exhausting performance of exclusivity--managers clearing hallways for influencers like they're escorting heads of state, door staff conducting unsolicited BMI assessments in the parking lot, and employees who apparently think basic human decency is reserved for bottle service. The whole thing has the energy of a high-school cafeteria where the popular kids somehow got a liquor license. So by all means, go to Surf Lodge for the mediocre food. Stay for the starving, aspiring influencers, manufactured exclusivity, and employees drunk on the intoxicating power of deciding who gets through a rope. We've been customers for nearly two decades. We remember when this place had an actual personality. Now it feels like someone took everything insufferable about the Hamptons, gave it a ring light and a superiority complex, and charged $35 for a margarita. 3/10. One point for the view, one for nostalgia, and one because eventually they did let us leave. Coincidentally, 3/10 is also my rating for the blonde door girl. read more

You don't go to Surf Lodge for the food or the service. You go to Surf Lodge to see and be seen. It's loud, kind of dirty, and exceptionally overpriced. But do you have to go? Of course you do. read more

I know everyone says to go to The Surf Lodge if you are in the Hamptons and honestly I get it. Beautiful view, great spot to see the sunset, and great food and music. I would say the portions are smaller and since they are business, food and drinks may take a while. But cute spot with friends or on a date, and totally a staple place to go to in the Hamptons! read more

Bugs in the hotel room, Terrible service, terrible rude staff, 0 starts if I could, food is not eatable. Just runnnn and don't spend a $ here, there are amazing places are Montauk project read more

I would leave 0 stars if possible. Absolutely terrible food. The only thing remotely palatable were the fries. We were a table of 8 and ordered lobster roll, burger, tartare, acai, and poke.All unsavory! My margarita drink was mostly ice and watered down tequila. Even the DJ was subpar, consistent reel of the same beat during our entire stay. Save yourself the money and time, go somewhere else! read more

Honestly a bit surprised how bad the reviews are. Even though the food is definitely a bit overpriced and the cocktails are subpar (and also overpriced), I was pretty impressed by the food. I came in with low expectations though, so I was definitely surprised. Service was also very fast and efficient, making the dining experience very smooth. For apps - Zucchini fritters (2.5/5): these are a pass honestly. They were definitely not too deeply fried but no extreme wow factor, could have had more flavor -Baby gem salad (5/5): this salad was so good!! The ranch sauce was lighter and made the salad more refreshing -Yellowfin tuna (3/5): OK. Can't go wrong with tuna, but not the best quality tuna I have had -Montauk fluke (2/5): least favorite app, not impressive really and a bit more firm in texture For mains: -Sea bass (4/5): this was really good. The fish was fried making the skin extra crispy, and came with refreshing sides to complement the fried fish... can also make lettuce wraps -Lobster cascatelli (4.5/5): this was pretty solid. The lobster was fresh (there could have been a bit more though), the cherry tomatoes were delicious, and the pasta was cooked well and coated in a not too heavy sauce, which made it really delicious and lighter than other pasta -Striped bass (3.5/5): not my favorite fish, but just personal preference Overall, pretty solid food read more

I didn't expect too much when I booked a dinner reservation here based on the other reviews I've read but I didn't expect to be treated poorly. Liam was very rude and pushed me when I was trying to reenter after stepping out. We made reservations and I asked the hostess for a table inside because it was a bit chilly outside and it had been raining. She told us to head inside to the bar and she would get us seated. We waited for about 10-15 minutes and when we received our text that the table was ready she led us to a table outside. When I asked about why we didn't have an inside table like we requested she said that someone started ordering bottle service so basically we got booted outside. It was misting outside and cold and there were quite a bit of bugs outside. A bug landed in my friends drink and the waiter gave her a hard time about replacing it. The lobster pasta was light and actually pretty good. The spicy margarita was good but I'm not 100% sure there was actually alcohol in it lol. We went inside to the party afterwards and that was a pretty fun time read more

Super on the fence about this place. When we first arrived they wanted us to wait over an hout because they claimed it was open at 4, but someone eventually just let us in earlier and there were so many people inside lounging drinking and having a good time so I honestly dont know what that was about However The place os super cute and vibey and only got better the later it got. Definitely somewhere you can chill out with drinks and music while enjoying the great water views. The drinks were also 5/5 our bartender def knew what he was doing and the servers were nice too. Other than that the security team/host needs a talking to. read more

I came here for dinner. Got here a little early. I waited online to get into the bar in the meantime. Guy with a cross tattoo behind is ear immediately cut me off .. I couldn't ask a question and then he said "it's not my job to be nice , I'm not in the hospitality business. This is a hotel". He was NASTY. Not just to us but to anyone that dared speak to him. He should not work here. Then 10 mins later after ubering here we get a text that our reservation was cancelled bc of rain which we get. But they didn't offer to accommodate us indoors. This place is a joke . read more

I don't normally write reviews, but the steak frites here was the worst steak I've ever had in my life. It was $60, and the meat was so awful I couldn't finish it. Absurd entitled place. Maybe fun if you're in the party section and wanna burn some cash and party, but dining was among the worst food I've ever had. read more

My girls made reservations for my bachelorette weekend for dinner a while ago. Confirmed the reservation and everything. We get there to find out that they only had outside seating because they have a large party of 50 that is for inside. We asked if they have outside warmers and they offered blankets. We were willing to see how it goes because it was extremely windy and cold out. Then to find out they only had two blankets which were then anyways. We left and took our business elsewhere , which was better. I only gave two stars because the girl who was helping us was very sweet and she was trying her best to remedy the situation. Because she knew that when the reservation was confirmed multiple times, they shouldve mentioned the change in outdoor seating, especially when the weather wasn't great. read more

Security made my friend cry!!! Hate them forever, extremely rude and unhelpful and we won't be back

Came here on a Saturday for brunch with 3 of my girlfriends. The food was mediocre and what you'd expect from a "party venue". The banana bread was the best part of the meal. We had reservations for brunch and assumed we could hang around the bar until the DJ started playing. Unfortunately, they cleared the premises around 4pm to prepare for the party and we were told we could only stay if we paid a $324 cover charge (per person) for GA. I wish we'd known that we would have to end our brunch early and had to pay to stay so that we could've planned our Saturday a little better. I get why people come here to party but I think there are better places to spend your $$$. read more

Ohh the legendary Surf Lodge. I just hopped off a plane and made it to Montauk when my friends took me to dinner here with zero warning of what I was getting into. Here's what you should know: 1. Make a reservation if you can. Otherwise, it can be harder to get a table. 2. Crispy tuna rice is delicious. The rest of the food is okay... typical things you would find over the summer in the Hamptons and at that higher price point. 3. Be prepared to pay up... you're paying for the vibes 4. Music and party game can be wild... but the crowd can be younger depending on the day so check the set list before you head over. 5. Staff is nice overall. read more

This place can rot in hell. Tried to go with my girlfriend for one of their performers. Arrived promptly at the time they posted on their Instagram and the bouncer basically told us to come back when it's busier. We asked what time and he loudly said "NOT NOW!". Entitled staff and virtually impossible to get in unless you're an "influencer". I suppose you could drop 6K for a table with 3 of your friends, but I don't really care to do this just to post an Instagram to try and brag to random people. For the rich and famous or those who want to show off how "cool" they are on social media. Screw this place read more

This is not the place for an intimate dinner. It has a bar/party atmosphere you would find in Fort Lauderdale, don't expect to hear anyone talk unless you're screaming across the table. It was just all-around an interesting experience. Also, imagine paying a premium price to be seated at a picnic table and share it with another party--just nuts. The atmosphere: was a party. You can't hear yourself think. The staff: was relatively friendly and tried to be helpful, but they couldn't hear anything. The food: average at a high mark up. Cleanliness: the table was fine; I don't know about the deck bar, though. read more

I used to adore this place. I'm not sure where things got off track but what was once a great dive has turned into a Jersey Shore club.

It's a decent place to go out with a group of friends, but I don't really get the hype - definitely better places to go. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting and every time I went to use the bathroom there was a new person throwing up....they are not cleaned throughout the night and are really nasty. On a side note, I would not recommend eating here - they took a 9:30pm reservation and then messed up the food order and instead of fixing the issue, they just said the kitchen was closed and some people didn't get food at all. read more

TLDR: we were ignored several times despite waving and making eye contact; food is expensive and we left partially hungry. We only came here because the first four restaurants we called were full to capacity for the night. When we arrived around 8:55 PM or so for the 9 PM reservation. We were told the host will be with us shortly. One member of my party attempted to get a host's attention after waiting for a bit- he was ignored. Five minutes later, another host told us that they'll be with us. We overheard a host telling a table that the kitchen will be closing at 10. So we expressed our worry of the kitchen closing and was told, "if I said I'll be with you then I'll be with you"- addressing nothing about the kitchen closing. We got seated another five to eight minutes later. After our drinks we tried ordering food but was ignored despite making eye contact and they even walked past our table. Finally ordered food at 9:35 with the hostess who took our drinks order. Food ($38 halibut) was barely filling the plate and drinks ($17) same thing. In my pic, several sips were taken before I took the picture. The water smells like it has a bit too much like chlorine- not sure if we're just used to Nyc water. The lady who helped us with our drinks and took our order was nice and professional. Experience was ruined at the front. The prices are nearly twice as much as Manhattan but service definitely has room for improvement- as much room as the fish that I ordered had on the plate. On hindsight we definitely had an ok night compared to the other reviews that we should've read before making a reservation. Problem with Montauk is that if you don't rsvp ahead of time- you miss out on the decent restaurants. This place wasn't even anywhere near full to capacity. Not sure why we weren't seated at any of the empty tables. We thought it was due to covid concerns but saw that they seated a couple that were after us at the same table as another couple. ‍ read more

The Surf Lodge - Pan Seared Halibut and Whispering Angel drink (after a few sips). - Hotels Near Me - Montauk, New York

Food was spectacular, but the service was terrible. The staff at every turn was so nasty. I walked up for my dinner reservation and was met with an attitude by the hostess. Then, our waiter (also with an attitude) put in the wrong food/drink THREE times and it was brought out. Instead of making up for his mistake he tells us that the items would be put on our tab. Things we didn't order?! We sent them back. Never in my life have i been met with such terrible service. Awful dining experience. read more

This place is an absolute joke. It used to be such a good vibe. The food is not good. The service is horrendous. Nobody seems to know what they are doing in every way possible. The night life is something I can go on and on about. If you're trying to just go for a drink and good vibes, don't bother. It's $1500 for a beach table (that doesn't even give you access to the deck "party"). The deck is $3k for a table. The bouncers and the lady at the front when you arrive are the most horrible, rude, entitled people I have ever come across. The owner is a sick joke. Rude, nasty lady. The people there are just as entitled. Classic "daddy's money". I can't believe the staff is getting away with having this attitude. The service. How is this place real. You're running a business. Be nice to every single patron ... simple as that. read more

This reservation is for the restaurant and the restaurant only. The food here is incredible. I started by taking pictures and then got so consumed with how great the food and vibes were and forgot to take additional ones. We had the watermelon salad, tuna crudo, steak, and the broccolini. The staff are incredible inattentive, but what else would you expect from a "trendy" spot in Montauk. They messed up our drinks multiple times (we ordered casa migos on the rocks), which resulted in them just giving us multiple replacements. Come for the views and the food, but keep in mind that this is mainly a spot to see and be seen. read more

The Surf Lodge - Watermelon Salad - Hotels Near Me - Montauk, New York

Okay this place is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I would say there is a reason why it is legendary. I came to the Hamptons for one of my best friends bachelorette party and this was the location of our last hoorah. It could not have been anymore perfect. When we got there we were really surprised because you cannot actually part at the surf lodge and there is no valet. You have to part at the train station that is right down the street and walk over. We didn't have a problem doing that but we definitely wondered if it was safe. Once we made it there we walked up to the ropes and got our ID checked we had already reserved a table. When we got there it was around 5:30 and it was the perfect time to arrive. The place was not too crowded and we got to our table right away. The waitress mentioned that we had the best seat in the house. We were seated to the right of the stage if you are looking at it. We didn't know what to expect so we ordered a 6L bottle of Rose and go the party started. Before we knew it, there were security guards by the stage and Wyclef got on stage. Let me tell you, what a party. There was something magical about being tipsy watching the sun go down with your best friends listening to live music. If you are in the Hamptons don't miss out and experience for yourself. read more

Extremely overhyped, bad service and honestly cheugy. Also... it is on a mini swamp and nowhere near the ocean

this is the most disgusting and poorly managed establishment in the world. I absolutely love going out in the Hamptons, but whenever I go here, I have a terrible time the owner is literally the worst person I have ever met girl girl she shoved me and pushed me and took me away from my table when I had a reservation and was a paying customer. This has to be the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I would recommend no one come here. The waiter. Ryan was amazing, and was the only light of my entire night. read more

Suck it Surf Lodge...this was said in many online reviews and seemed to be a theme and very appropriate here too. We arrived at the Surf Lodge for cocktails and a early dinner and were told to park 1/4 of mile down the road at the train station and walk along the highway back to the property. Since this place was recommend by several travel blogs, we thought it would be worth the trouble. WERE WE WRONG!!! We should have taken it as a sign of how our experience was going to be when upon entering the lobby we encountered a dark haired woman walking by saying in a frustrated tone "this F*#@ing place is so unorganized!" Checking in with the hostess we were told "you can sit anywhere on the patio that does not have a reserved sign". So we stopped by the bar ordered drinks, opened a tab and made our way to a table without a wooden "reserved" sign on it. While sitting there for almost 2 hours, not one wait staff checked on us to offer food or drinks. We had to go to the bar ourselves to order any drinks. Eventually we were approached by the dark haired woman who informed us she was taking our table because she had someone there that needed it. When we questioned why we had to give our table up since it was not reserved she told us and I quote "this is my place, if you are unhappy about it you can leave". The group sitting next to us heard her and offered for us to slide over and sit with them. The women then leaned into my friend and said "I won't have security escort you out, but you are leaving". What?! Why?! This seemed very aggressive considering the "we" I refer to is my friend and I who are two females, between the ages of 40-50, business owners ourselves and deal with the public and customer service daily. We were not acting like pretentious, unreasonable or over served rude patrons they may deal with from time to time. Of course we left quietly because we are not the type of people who deserve the treatment we received. Ironically, while walking back to our car we were questioned by several ppl who were annoyed by the parking situation. Asking if the 1/4 mile walk along the highway was worth it. Ha! The sad part is the place is cute, good people watching and great music however, the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. For a business owner to think it is acceptable to speak to a patron in the manner as she did is a disgrace. Once we got settled for dinner somewhere else we started to read reviews for the Surf Lodge and realized so many others have been treated poorly. My advice, spare yourself the grief and go somewhere like Navy Beach where they provide actual service, valet and appreciate your business. This place is no asset to the community of Montauk and not a good representation of the experiences we have had throughout the week while visiting. read more

food was so overpriced, the crowd is just what you would expect.. a mix of younger 20-30s and then older adults partying like they're in college still. restaurant waitstaff was nice, security was friendly. bartender in the inside bar was definitely rude. absolutely make a reservation in advance or you are not getting in and they will make you look and feel stupid. crowd things out after 9 on sunday. i would never stay at this hotel for the price id you're looking for anything relaxing. good sunsets from the deck though. read more

This place..... I was here for a bachelorette and the owner runs around cursing people out and shoving them! We spent $3000 at our table and were told to "pay and get the fuck out." They are majorly violating fire code and it is unsafe in there. Our waitress was a sweetie but besides her everyone who worked there was AWFUL. I actually think the owner was psychologically abusing our waitress. There were literally 3 toilets and a 45 minute wait to use the bathroom. Loud music with shitty DJs and Manhattan Chads and Brads. This place is fun if you're 20 and on bath salts. Otherwise it is brutal. Such a joke of a place to spend your money on. The food was below average and the service was abysmal. read more

This is a pretty good bar and a pretty bad restaurant. It's incredible how every item isn't good. How do you mess up a lobster roll? You do it with soggy bread, random pieces of let us and what tastes like old lobster. The halibut seemed to be the best item of the 6 or so entres our table got. Getting in is a disaster too. The bar / club scene is fun once you move past eating and into drinking. read more

Not bad but not great. Nice ambiance and at night I'm sure it's kicking but for lunch it's a yawn. The service was slow, and it took 10 minutes to get 2 canned beers to the table. No prompt water refills and some gnarly inedible fries didn't help. I am sure that in Montauk there are other options to better maximize your clams. read more

I feel like you have to know what you're getting yourself into when you come here. The vibe also drastically differs between day and night and Fridays/Saturdays and Sundays. The atmosphere is very boujie beach club. I came for brunch with a huge group for a birthday, i'm talking like 18 people and was worried about being treated horrible since I'm an avid Yelp review reader. We luckily had two reservations and the host was nice enough to seat us at two tables next to each other. Our waitress was THE SHIT. She was very attentive, very cool and very nice. The drinks were expensive but not HORRIBLE. We split a bunch of the swan drinks, we especially liked the casa verde one and then got a ton of food. I got the lobster roll which was very aesthetically pleasing, not the best lobster roll i've ever had but definitely a good one (prob not worth $32) and the ricotta toast which I actually didn't love. I think the flavors were just too much of a mix of cheesy, fruity and fresh (ricotta + black berries + fresh mint leaves), but my friend really liked it so if you're cool with that combo it's still a great choice. We sat at our tables for like 2+ hours and no one ever rushed us to leave which I commend them for, even though more and more people started to show up. After brunch, we moved over to the beach area where we snagged two couch things and just continued to order drinks and chill which was A++++ and a live band started to play as well. All around an amazing day. I think if you're looking to not spend a lot of money, to be low-key, to avoid crowds or to eat 5 star food, don't come here but if you want to day-drink, possibly see a celeb or two and listen to live music, this is your spot! I'm honestly surprised all the reviews are SO SO terrible, I feel like they must have revamped or something read more

It was my first time visiting Montauk and I had a great time here. I walked in here without a reservation and they were very accommodating in seating us on a Wednesday evening. The Octopus appetizer was disappointing. The truffle mac and cheese was very flavorful, absolutely recommend getting this. The linguine pasta was worth ordering as well. The Seaside High cocktail was very well balanced and refreshing. My friends and I had a great time but was surprised that the server did not course out our meal. read more

Surf Lodge... Vibe 10/10 Location 10/10 Food 7/10 (fried artichoke tuna poke and grilled sea bass is the best) Service 2/10 . . Most important thing to note was the heinous service at this restaurant. We were waiting for our reservation outside at the awesome outdoor couch spot and it started to rain. Tried to come inside 15 min before reservation, but all doors were immediately locked and all doormen did not let us in. When we checked back in with the blonde at the outside front desk, she was extremely unprofessional and honestly a b-i-t-c-h; telling us we needed to wait outside (in the rain) for the 15 minutes until our reservation. Told us it was a capacity issue but then saw her let in a group with a $5K bar tab in immediately after us. Food was fine, but the employees were so entitled, it ruins the whole vibe. Super strange to have employees be assholes, but because of that, overall 5/10. Suck it surf lodge ! Ps your vegan pad Thai tastes like shit and isn't actually paid thai.

I was waiting in line with a few friends and the security gentleman said we could not get in without getting a table. Again letting in 50 people ahead of my group to the bar area, again the gentleman refused to let me or my friends in without paying thousands of dollars for a table. There were plenty of people in the bar area getting drinks. He was judging me and my group, and let other people in, without letting my group in. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone. The gentleman was short and covered with tattoos. I would think being in customer service he would have learned how to interact appropriately with customers. This establishment really needs help with their cultural competencies. read more
