Had a really nice time here. You would never know this place exists as its not visible from the main road. Once on the property the layout is great and views are amazing. Food was fantastic. Prices reasonable if not low for the area. The food came out promptly and most of the place was abiding by social distancing rules. I will be coming back!! read more

Excellent service and a great variety of dishes. Watch out because our family (8-80 years) just had to try many of the appetizers- the bacon was yummy , the mushrooms disappeared and the wedge salad were gobbled up. The cornbread was surprisingly gourmet. Wine pours were generous, whit sangria delicious and draught beers just the right temp. Wait staff was attentive, but not intrusive and the dirty dishes picked up promptly. Ribs, ahí and lobster rolls were delish. Gorgeous location , great photo Ops and the pirate ship was a blast for the 8 yo. We will be back read more

Cowfish is the upscale sister location of RHUM and RUMBA. We got a seating indoor right by the window where we can see a beautiful view of the water. Staff is phenomenal and very attentive. The gentlemen who served us was the best, I wish I remember his name. He made sure our glasses were always full, along with making sure we were satisfied with our meal. From the meals down to our drinks, everything was amazing. After we finished eating, we took our drinks to the water side and sat by chairs and admired the beautiful boats and scenery. Cowfish is by far my favorite restaurant and will definitely come back here again. read more

One of my favorite places to go.. Food and drinks are always amazing. Nothing like enjoying a great meal with waterfront views.

THE BUFFALO SHRIMP IS UNREAL!!! They even gave us a free appetizer. Desserts were also great. Beautiful view right on the water

Never disappointed!! My husband found this place by chance, and we love coming here. The atmosphere is casual and the food is amazing. I cannot think of a better place to grab a bite to eat for lunch with friends, or a simple elegance dinner for two. read more

I was looking for a restaurant to eat by the water and came across Cowfish. Getting to Cowfish can be a little tricky. Once you get on RT 80 depending on where you are coming from the gps will tell you to make a uturn on Canoe Place Road then you have to make a right between Out of the blue seafood and Spellmans Marina, you will follow the road down where you will be greeted by complimentary valet parking at the end of the road. I will never be a fan of valet parking. I like parking my own car and locking it myself, maybe it's trust issues with trusting people with my car. Since it was a nice sunny day we decided to eat outside and enjoy the beautiful view of the marina. You get to see all the boats that go by and fantasize about buying one yourself one day. On to the food, we ordered the fried oysters to start and I ordered the blacken fish sandwich, I substituted the coleslaw for French fries and my wife ordered the smoked salmon sandwich. The fried oysters were nice and fresh, perfectly fried and the cream spinach was a nice compliment to the oysters. My blacken fish sandwich was delicious you can see and taste how perfectly it was grilled. Definitely one of the top ten best fish sandwiches I had! Kudos to them!!! My wife smoked salmon sandwich I wasn't a big fan of it tasted under cooked to me but she like it!! For dessert we decided to go downstairs where we ordered rum punch and a margarita. They have chairs along the restaurant over looking the marina where you can enjoy sipping on your drink and enjoying the view. We will definitely return to try other things on the menu! Great restaurant and great location! read more

Our waitress was great, but the blatant disregard after explaining at length to the manager and food runner about my Daughter's severe gluten allergy that would put her in the hospital, the food runner still came out and argued with my Daughter about her dish. NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN!!!! read more

I love Cowfish but wish you had someone more professional taking reservations. I booked a table for 4 and explained to the person answering the phone that I would be bringing a puppy inside a carrier. They either didn't know the policy or just didn't listen and they took my booking. When we arrived we were told of your no animals on the property policy. I totally respect your policy, but it was upsetting to drive 45 minutes to be turned away because this was not told to us when we booked, especially when I specifically asked. Thank you. read more

This place is still so awesome! We've been here a few times since my last review but yesterday we also go to go to their other restaurant Rumba too! Cowfish has some of the best food here on the Island and the view is so spectacular! Our waiter Michael was so great and as always the service here was the best. It was crowded when we got here for a late lunch/early dinner but we sat at the bar until our table was ready. The bartenders were very attentive and friendly and even though the bar was packed they never seemed rushed and they made sure everyone was taken care of. When our table was ready we sat upstairs where we could see all the beautiful boats and homes on the water. Our waiter came over right away and we ordered our drinks and appetizers. I had their clam chowder which was so amazing that I now know why it has won awards! My husband had the buffalo shrimp, because he has to have any food that has buffalo sauce on it and I have to say it was so delicious, I had to take one from him! For an entree I had the seared tuna which was incredibly delicious! My husband had the deviled eggs with brown sugar bacon, which is an appetizer...he couldn't decided earlier if he wanted the shrimp or the eggs so he got both :-) The eggs were so deliciously seasoned and perfectly cooked. Then he had a fish sandwich which was so great and came with the best Cole slaw we ever tasted! The atmosphere here at Cowfish is just too great for words, you have to come experience it for yourself. For such a busy place you feel so relaxed and calm...they really do such an amazing job here, both with the food and service. They also have someone walking around with a headset letting other staff know when the tables will be ready, so when they give you an estimated wait time you know exactly how long you'll be waiting. They also have transportation to their other restaurant, Rumba,(also great...will be writing about that next) and it is all handled so efficiently and in a really fun way! The boat wasn't working but they have the most colorful fun bus to pick you up, and everything is coordinated so you won't be waiting long to get back and forth from either restaurant...and the driver...I think his name was Al? sorry if it's not.... was just so nice and patient and so much fun!! I just absolutely love this place! read more

Amazing food great service! Will definitely be returning. The buffalo shrimp was amazing!!!!

This place gets four stars mainly because the food and ambience are awesome. The views are awesome and the Adirondack chairs are a great touch. The outside bar is a great place for drinks on a spring or summer night. This place is the go-to place with water views in the area. That goes for Southhampton as well. Who would've thought this nice place in Hampton Bays would take the boujee Southhampton scene by storm. The service is always on point and the servers always remember your name / are very attentive. I've tried almost every item on the menu and must say it is all quite good. Items that can't be missed are the clam chowder, blackened fish sandwich, New York strip and buffalo calamari. The only reason I could not give them five stars is because the quality of the food lacks when the restaurant is busy. read more

Excellent ambiance. Nice apps and great cocktails. Great place for a date. Nice view of Shennicock Bay.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Summertime is super busy and waits are long. I frequent off season. The Bar is nice to sit at for a beverage and appetizer. The food is consistently good. read more

Atmosphere is fantastic with waterview scenery. Food was ok. Nothing outstanding to return for, unfortunately.

Great food. Great service. Beautiful setting. Very casual on the water bar in the back sometimes music. Perfect all around

Very pleasant experience when we stopped in this past Tuesday. Service was on point and the ambiance of the restaurant being on the water as well as the blooming hydrangeas was nice and relaxing. The item I would point out as standing out was the cornbread- best I've had. There was ample fresh corn kernels throughout and it was not dry at all which happens a lot with cornbread. The honey butter dolloped atop made it even more addicting. The Cajun fish was good and the slaw perfectly dressed- creamy and tangy. I also recommend the clam chowder. read more

Arrived 650pm for dinner for 4 on a Thursday night (they only take reservations for 6 or more) and were seated after waiting about 35 minutes, which we were warned about in advance. Unfortunately they put us in a corner of the bar upstairs, where they've shoved several, small banquette booths to (apparently) gain more dining seating. The bar was VERY loud, with a speaker blasting music right above our table, and a large group of noisy, laughing patrons drinking (as is their right in a bar). The floor smelled like stale spilled beer, and a steady breeze came through the open doors that was a bit too cold. The booth also barely fit 4 normal-sized adults. The other dining options would've been to sit outside on the decks with a beautiful view, or in the main restaurant on the ground floor, which is nicely designed. I asked the hostess if we could sit elsewhere, but she said it would be another 20 minutes wait. At that point, it was about 730pm and the teenaged kids were hungry. So we took the seats. The waitress took our order fairly soon, and she was very pleasant. The wait for food was VERY long, though (two fish dishes and two burgers). I didn't note the time exactly, but the food definitely arrived after 8pm. So it was about an hour and 15 minutes to eat after arrival. Don't arrive too hungry, or you might pass out before being served. The salmon special was good, and the swordfish special was amazingly good (10 out of 10). The Cowfish Burgers were very good, a bit sloppy, but filling. Also recommended. So 4.5 stars for the food and the waitress (and the gorgeous water views outside the restaurant), and 1 star for both the seating and the length of time it took to get a seat and to get our food. I would warn anyone planning to eat there to request that you do NOT sit in the bar, which was extremely disappointing. Unless of course you like that. The seating was so poor, a borderline joke, in fact, that I think they should offer a 15% discount to anyone forced to eat in the bar. If you eat in the main room, it's probably pleasant, and the decks are very nice (unless cold/windy). We would go back to Cowfish for the food, but not to the bar, which almost ruined the experience. The restaurant also is hard to find, btw, so check your maps carefully. read more

Fantastic Brunch, and a wonderful view of Shinnecock Bay. I thoroughly enjoyed the Benedict Rockefeller Oysters, along with a moist and juicy fish sandwich. Have the Bloody Mary, and watch the boats go by. read more

I always have such a good experience at Cowfish. The service is always good and the staff is very attentive to the customers. The location is beautiful, sitting right on the water. The food has great flavor, I have never gotten a meal I did not enjoy immensely. This place is great for any type of occasion ranging from a family dinner to date night! read more

Awesome! Stopped out for lunch as it's my dad's favorite. Was my first time time here. Great view of the water. Great food. Codfish was the best I've had and cooked perfectly!! The curry gave it a nice pop. My waitress was friendly and helpful. Complimentary valet was nice since my dad has mobility issues. Had to wait for a table. Reservations on their website only. We had a great time and highly recommend this place. read more

Ate here with some friends following a winery trip. Food was underwhelming. seared tuna was bad. Lobster roll was more like lobster slaw on a roll, not full and chunky. One friend had spare ribs and she loved them. read more

Had the most WORST experience at this restaurant tonite! Went there for a friend's birthday Party of 8 Appetizers went well Dinners come SEVEN GUEST dinner come After 10 minutes I get up to see where my dinner is Was told by THREE servers "It's coming out" What came out was SOMEONE ELSE'S ORDER!!! I ordered Cancun Shrimp with Spanish Rice She brings me out Salmon with wild rice Does she think I'm an idiot? Is she trying to shut me the fuck up? I cancelled my order and told her how "Unprofessional" she is! I go to the manager and explain the situation and get profuse apologies :-( And offer a SECOND replacement If I wanted to eat by myself I certainly would NOT have walk in with a party if 8! This girl does NOT know what she's doing! Waitressing is NOT her calling Left there sooooooo hungry DO NOT RECOMMEND DO NOT GO shoddy service at best read more

My girlfriend and I were spending the weekend at my house in The Hampton's and decided to give Cowfish a shot. I had been here before and visited the bar upstairs for a couple of beers but had not ate at the restaurant, and neither had she. Although the service was good, we were not satisfied with our meals. The food was rather bland and definitely not relative to the price point. It's a beautiful spot with a pretty view of the canal but sad to say we won't be visiting again. read more

Had an amazing time at the Cowfish Restaurant in Hampton Bays today for brunch. I love coming here, but this is the first summer that I have had and used a yelp to give them the review that they deserve! The staff is friendly and attentive, the food is delicious and the view is great! Lovely summer atmosphere here. I would suggest anyone that is in the Hamptons or visiting to try eating here, you will have a great time! read more

The food was passable. It was ok nothing great the drinks were weak nothing else to say

I can't speak highly enough of Cowfish in Hampton Bays. I've heard about it and been wanting to go for a while now but have always been deterred by the long wait time I heard about. This weekend we decided to suck it up, go put our names down, and resign ourselves to the fact that we'd be waiting at the bar for a while. The outdoor bar area is absolutely gorgeous. It's located right in a beautiful marina and has a completely open-air feel with high stools and then plenty of grassy space with Adirondack Chairs. We got there a little after 7pm and were told it would be about a 2 hour wait. We decided we'd snack a bit at the bar while enjoying our rose and then would order however much food would fit in our stomachs once we got inside. First, we started with the Tumbleweed sushi roll which is spicy lobster, avocado, asparagus, shrimp tempura, crispy potatoes, eel sauce, and spicy aioli. It didn't taste like a typical sushi roll but it was phenomenal. We were still waiting for a table around 8pm and decided to go with the lobster-stuffed mushrooms. Jeez they were fantastic. Absolutely, perfectly prepared, bursting with flavor, they left me craving more. They're definitely the best thing on the bar menu which, though limited, can definitely provide you with a hearty meal. Finally, we got inside around 9pm and ordered, among other things, the scallops with a white wine reduction, corn, basil, prosciutto, reggiano, and jasmine rice. It was a hefty scallop dish that actually filled me up unlike most scallop dishes. After dinner we spent some time sitting on the water on a beautiful moonlit night. I will most definitely be back the next time I'm out East and can't wait to try some new dishes, though I'll probably get the mushrooms again. read more

Very good view, but overrated a bit. Our waiter seems doesn't understand or speak English too frequently, and he is very hard to find when we want to order food. He probably showed up after twenty mins or so. Food is OK but doesn't seem to match the ratings. read more

I don't usually write a review, but this Saturday night I had invited several others to Cowfish for dinner. Now I have been there numerous times, and during the pandemic I even ordered out from them. this night when we went to Cowfish we were told that our wait would be between 1-1/2 hr to 1-3/4 hrs, which was not an issue as we had some cocktails during our wait. After almost two hours we were told that we were next in line for a table. There was a group that had been called and taken to a table outside, however they came back and requested that they be given a table indoors, and they were immediately taken indoors. I went to the hostess and questioned again when we were to be seated, and again I was told that we were next. I brought up the issue of the group that was immediately seated indoors, and was told that they had a reservation. and that we would be next. I asked to speak with a manager, and when i explained the issue of having waited 2 hours when I was told differently, and about the group that was immediately permitted to switch there table, the manager said we were next but that he could not guarantee when we would be seated as the group that was leaving could continue to remain. At this point me and my party decided to leave and go to another restaurant as it was now getting late. To compound everything while we were at the other restaurant, we received a text message from Cowfish saying our table was ready, another two hours after we left Cowfish.....incredible!!! read more

On the pricey side but it is expected for the restaurant and area. Valet outside were super kind and respectful and well as waitstaff inside. I got the short rib which was super tender and full of flavor and clam chowder for an appetizer. Which for my first time having it was phenomenal and would definitely get again. read more

Gotta love a place like Cowfish. Since it's opened my family and I have frequented this establishment without fail on a Bi-weekly basis. Never failed to overly thank each employee who's helped us on each occasion and generously tipping well beyond the suggested 20% because for the time we were blessed to be able to do so. In March the world changed as a Pandemic hit. Being the loyal family we were, we changed our bi-weekly orders to weekly PICK UP orders to support our local community. Again, never failing to leave gratuities less than 35% on PICK UP orders. Each time the person who took the order was so thankful just for the order as the restaurant business and world were in uncertain times. There would be no less than 3 thank you! Today, with 2 immune comprised kids, I was told they cut PICK UP orders off b/c they were tooo busy. Where would you have been with out PICK UP orders in April & May? What a disgrace. Restaurants come and go but the decisions you make in times like these last forever. Thanks for showing the Hamptons who you really are read more

Good place ,great view ,good staff ,must try if your in south hampton .Igo every time I'm there.
