While training for my commercial pilot certificate, I had to build 150 of cross country flying hours. I decided to spend this time flying around the northeast to try the best lobster rolls. I've been to Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Massachusetts. This is the best one, hands down, and it's one of the first things I do every time I come back. read more

Very busy even on a Monday. Go early or expect to wait, but if you are not in a rush, it is worth it. The service is very friendly and accommodating. The setting is casual and the food is excellent! Fresh and well made and with many menu options. A must stop in the east end! read more

Went to try a hot lobster roll and also sampled the calamari. The calamari was perfect - crispy, not too heavy of a batter, well salted, and piping hot. The tartar sauce and marinara paired well too. The lobster meat was chunked rather than shredded (which I prefer) and really piled on generously. It was disappointed that the meat was super dry and not tender. Kind of disappointing for a $36 lobster roll when you expect the chunks to melt in your mouth and be succulent. We did ask for a side of butter to dip the pieces in and it did improve it slightly. I needed to also salt the meat since it was cooked in unsalted butter. Bun was a tad too toasted but otherwise held up well and was both crispy and fluffy. Side of fries were well crisped and salted. Service was great - our waitress was attentive and quick to address our needs while managing a very busy bar. Food came out fast. Had no wait when opting to sit at the bar (2 people) though a table wait would have been about 15 minutes. read more

Fantastic locally owned seafood restaurant! Visited for the first time while in the Hamptons and had a grest experience. The place is a very chill vibe with indoor and outdoor seating, they also have a nice little bar. Food wise everything is great! We got the oysters, fritters, and steamers to start; all of which were fresh and delicious! For dinner I went with the cold lobster roll and it did not disappoint! The roll was nicely over stuffed and the lobster was so meaty and fresh. Definitely one of the best lobster rolls I've ever had! Service was super friendly and fast. Got to meet the owner who was a super nice guy. Definitely recommend if your in the area. They dont take reservations so you might have to work, but definitely worth it! read more

The service is always friendly and they never rush us. The food is 100% always excellent. I've never had a bad meal there. And the drinks are awesome! Such a variety! read more

Cute little lunch spot. Good selection of accessible seafood dishes and drinks. Didn't spend much time indoors as they had a good number of tables outside. Service is friendly and efficient. Crab cakes, fries, onion rings and New England clam chowder were all very good. They're on trend with some mezcal cocktails too so extra points from me there. Fried flounder was a little disappointing as the thin fillet ended up a little dry so maybe go with the cod. read more

I was starving after hitting the Shoe-Inn end of year sale and realized I still hadn't had a single lobster roll this entire summer, so I headed to Bostwick's to change that asap. I walked in shortly after they opened on a weekday and the place was already packed out. It's a casual, no frills spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. I was lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar and was taken care of pretty immediately. I kicked things off with some clams on the half shell, then opted for their warm lobster roll with coleslaw. The clams were huge and extremely fresh. The lobster roll was good, but for the price I feel like they could've packed in some more lobster. I took a new england clam chowder to go, because I was full but couldn't leave a chowder house without trying the chowder, you know? It was definitely flavorful, but I wish it had more clams in it! read more

Came for dinner and decided to go to this place since it was recommended by a friend. It was pretty crowded for a Thursday night, we waited for 30 mins to get seated. Food was great! Everything was tasty and fresh, yummy! Highly recommend the seafood pasta, great portion and can shared with friends if you want to try different dishes. Quick service, staffs were friendly, will come back again! read more

We love Bostwick's! We either come and sit down or take an order to go-but however we get it, the food is always so fresh and delicious! Service is great, everyone there is so friendly. It's busy but cute inside! The fish sandwich and crab cake are sooo good. So is the potato salad, all tastes so fresh! Delicious lunch or dinner options! read more

Great, no frills, down home feel, which is hard to come by in the Hamptons these days. Great dining area, plenty of parking, staff were friendly, service was great, food was delicious. Came back several times because it was really good, and the vine was low key and friendly. Will definitely be back when in town again. Oh, and GET THE LOBSTER FRITTERS!! They are outrageously good. read more

We walked in on a Friday afternoon for two, and the wait was less than 20 minutes. It's a half hour from the light house museum. They had a lunch special menu. I tried the fried soft shell crab po boy, and my fiancée had the lobster blt. Both were tasty. Fries were perfectly crispy, and the portion was filling. The clam chowder was good but a bit too watery. I prefer a heavier texture. The lily pond lemonade cocktail was also tasty. Our server was very nice and attentive. Service was efficient. I wish it was more sustainable with metal utensils and dishes instead of plastic. read more

Bostwicks is a breathe of fresh air in the hamptons. The servers are friendly and down to earth, and the prices are reasonable. Besides the above and beyond service from the bartenders and waitstaff, the food is incredible. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but you should go there for the seafood. We got the oysters, buttered lobster roll, fish tacos, clam chowder, and peanut butter pie for dessert. I don't normally eat oysters, but Bostwicks stuck out to me for their freshness and cleanliness. The wait was over an hour (arrived around 7:20pm on a Saturday), but was well worth it. You can't also grab a drink at the bar or grab a drink and chill outside. read more

Okay, there is a lot of things I really like about this place: a. The food has healthy portions of Lobster - like double to triple what you would expect b. The staff is lovely friendly, and super thoughtful c. Feels like neighborhood cook out vibe - very appropriate Why it didn't get 5 stars: - This place is always crazy packed, with not enough parking and 1 to 2 hour waits. Oh and they don't take reservations Good for: 1. Lobster lovers 2. Small group trips 3. People who don't mind waiting 1 to 2 hours for good food 4. Pretty good prices for Hamptons (still sticker shock) Bad for: 1. Break ups - you will be waiting a while 2. Kids 3. People who like fancy lobster read more

This was a good place to grab a quick lunch! I had the fish tacos which were enormous and tasted good. Not anything special but definitely a decent place to eat. We sat inside and it was definitely cramped and noisy just an FYI! read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday. So glad we did! Seated right away and service was super friendly. Cute inside - we sat at a high top table near the bar. Two of us got the hot lobster roll and one of us got the tuna poke bowl. Got lobster roll looked small at first but man, it was perfectly filling! Great portions. And the fries were delicious. I love when they are crispy and battered like that. But the tuna poke bowl really impressed me. Great flavors, I honestly may get that next time instead of the lobster. Looking forward to coming back. read more

This place is so good! They have outside tables, bar, and inside. I was craving fish tacos they had mahi and they were amazing. I also got a side of fresh corn and tried a few seasoned fries that came out hot and crispy. Sevice was excellent and very fast. read more

Long time Bostwick's patron. Yesterday I ordered the warm Lobster Roll with butter. The lobster came all chopped up in little cubes, overcooked and it kept falling off the roll, with no butter in sight. I asked the bartender and he shared they are cutting it up so it cooks faster. Seems like catering to volume and not quality for $39. read more

Busy local hot spot we checked out while on vacation in montauk. -- and it was absolutely worth the wait! They don't take reservations, but the friendly host and attentive waitstaff made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. We started with the lobster fritters, which were perfectly crisp and tasted incredibly fresh. For our main courses, we had the fish & chips made with locally sourced fish from Block Island, and the seafood pasta -- which was amazing. It was loaded with generous pieces of lobster, scallops, and shrimp throughout (not just sprinkled on top!). To finish, we shared the homemade chocolate peanut butter pie, the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. read more

Bostwick's Chowder House - Lobster roll and Tuna Poke - Seafood Near Me - East Hampton, New York

Bostwick's gets a solid 4 because of their awesome hearty lobster bisque and corn chowder. Both extremely flavorful and satisfying on a cool October Saturday. We also ordered some fried oysters and a side of potato salad. While good the remoulade was the stand out and brought the oysters into the party. The roasted corn salsa was missing for the most part on our plate. The potato salad was nice, dill-icious and not too heavy. Service was pretty good and quick. I will say that afternoon I was not prepared for how cold I was about to be while eating our lunch. Will I be back? Sure to pick up the bisque and chowder to bring home. Another oddish thing for a decent size restaurant I believe they only have one private restroom. So when nature calls I sure hope you're not standing in line forever. read more

Meh. Maybe my expectations for this restaurant were a little too high, as I was a little disappointed in both my meal and the fact that they only use disposable cups & utensils. For the high prices, I didn't expect the fast casual atmosphere and food quality. I was really disturbed about how many disposable cups/utensils were used at this very busy restaurant. It's so bad for our environment! The food was hit or miss for me. Although I didn't think my entree was amazing, I really enjoyed the shared appetizers. Shared Appetizers: - Steamers ($29): these were perfection. They came with clam broth and butter on the side for dipping. Delicious! I wish I ordered this as my main entree. Recommended! - Mussels in Red Sauce ($16.95): these were also delicious. We ate them ALL! - Fried Calamari ($16.95): pretty standard. Good but nothing special. - Buffalo Chix Wings ($13.95): very good. Came with a great blue cheese dipping sauce. My entree: Fluke Milanese ($30.95): I found this dish kind of...boring. it was a very dry fried fluke in a panko crust which had absolutely no seasoning. Bland and boring, but it came with a good arugula salad on top. I can't speak about other's entrees but everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. My 9 yr old niece gave two thumbs up for her salmon teriyaki. Service and hospitality were friendly and efficient. This restaurant is very busy and does NOT accept reservations. Plenty of free parking available. read more

Our "go to" place for fried flounder and fries. Outdoors dining is delightful if weather permits.

This place is really nice, the ambiance is great with outdoor and indoor seating available. My family stopped by Saturday afternoon at 1pm for lunch and there was a 30min wait. They want your entire party to be present. They are doggy friendly with the outdoor seating. The servers were friendly and quick. The food: clam chowder was delicious, not super thick but just thick enough. Not very salty as some tend to be. The Baja fish and mahi tuna tacos were sooo good. Really large pieces of fish, tasty sauce and some avocado/ cabbage mix. Steamed muscles fra diavlo were really delicious, large mussels, but we had to ask for bread, they didn't just bring it. Fried calamari was meh, I wasn't very impressed as they seemed really small. Oysters were great and very fresh! There is a market next door that sells the baked clams from the restaurant, we got a few of them and they were great to bake up as well. read more

Bostwick's Chowder House - Menu - Seafood Near Me - East Hampton, New York

Stopped here for lunch with friends on a trip. We were a big group and it was a Saturday, so we had to wait awhile as expected but this was totally fine. We were seated outside at 1 large table which we appreciated rather than being split up. We got several items and I'll give a short description on each. Cold lobster roll - my personal favorite. I prefer cold ones over hot. It wasn't as big as I expected it to be, but it was still a decent size and a fair amount of lobster meat with large chunks. Comes with a side and I got cole slaw, which I didn't love that much but it wasn't bad either. Wish I got fries or potato salad instead. Hot lobster roll - those who got it, really liked it but noted that it looked like the cold ones might've had more meat. Fried clam strips - fine, but not amazing. Calamari - really good and fried nicely, not too oily. Raw oysters - good, pretty average but not bad. New England clam chowder - really good, but could be thicker. Wasn't watery though, I just like a thicker chowder but good amount of celery, clams, and potatoes. Comes with a packet of oyster crackers too. Lobster bisque - nice portion of lobster bits and solid. I preferred the clam chowder when doing side by side comparison. Mixed greens salad - average, typical green salad. Arugula salad - favorite among the table and especially if you like blue cheese! Shrimp cocktail - refreshing and good, but not amazing. Seafood pasta - really generous portion and lots of seafood. A good option if you don't want a sandwich or fried food. Service was great and we enjoyed the meal. Parking lot is small and can be confusing. Overall, table favorites were probably oysters, lobster rolls, arugula salad, and the chowder/bisque. A nice stop if you're in the area for sure! read more

I loved everything I got here. I started with a Bloody Mary. It was a really good Bloody Mary. All their drinks I tried were really good. It was seasoned perfectly and had a nice spice to it. Then we got an order of the oysters. The oysters were small, but they were still really good. I would get them again. I got the lobster roll and it was so good. There was a lot of lobsters in the roll. The lobsters were buttery and tender. The meat was sweet with the buttery bun. I loved the clam chowder, but I felt like there was not enough seafood in it. All in all, a great spot to stop by to get a lobster roll. read more

Stopped by here for lunch with friends. Excellent seafood and service. Loved the blackened fish tacos!

We honeymooned in Montauk and this came as a highly recommended spot for us to visit during our trip. We were able to be seated right away when we walked in because we sat at the bar which was great! We were served water right away and our waiter was so nice. I ordered the poke and my husband ordered a lobster roll. I love the casual neighborhood vibe Bostwick's has. We could overhear the bartender talking to several gentlemen that clearly were frequent customers. Our food was great! They have a patio outside which is always full so if you're wanting to sit outside, I recommend getting there early to get your name in. I would totally come back here and so happy we went! read more

Bostwicks continues to be a real delight. I love strolling in at 5:30 and getting a table without a wait. I recently had their special of local striped bass dish and it was so, so good.
