    Good to have some spot to get some snack or drink nearby lighthouse. As you can see on the map, no place nearby just park trees and ocean so, of course, the tourist attraction places the price point will be higher than regular but people is willing to pay as there are on vacation, why not? Anyway, I got an ice cream, fried calamari and soda. I was thinking about get some cocktail, but I saw that only few workers and they were busy, so I didn't want to bother them. Service was okay, you order everything at the cashier, and they gave you a number then after your food was ready, they brought the food to your table.

    Decent but overpriced food with little portion sizes. The fish and chips meal came with 2 normal sized fried fish with seasoned fries under. The chicken tender meal came with only 3 small chicken tenders and fries that barely had any meat in it. We also got the jumbo pretzel which was actually pretty good and huge. Since this was the only food spot near the Montauk lighthouse, I'm not complaining too much since we were hungry. But service was slow and nothing special at all.

    Maybe one of my favorite places I've eaten in montauk. Amazing views, shockingly great food, awesome service.

    Out visiting the lighthouse, and didn't expect to find a lunch spot near there. Lemme clarify, didn't expect to find a DELICIOUS lunch spot near. I got to try their lobster roll ($24) and blackened fish sandwich ($16). So worth, everything was amazing. They jam packed the lobster, which was super fresh and lightly dressed. They are very generous with the fish, as well. The sandwich/rolls came with a side of French fries, which were to die for and a refreshing cole slaw. Definitely worth stopping by if you're hiking/tourist-ing around the area!

    Chowder!

    George's Lighthouse Cafe is a Most Welcomed sight on a freezing cold day after sightseeing at the Lighthouse. You're gonna want to put in your order and work your way towards the fireplace for warmth. This place has little to no heat otherwise, so keep that in mind when the outdoor temperatures fall. This Cafe is the only place around and they know that so make sure you bring your wallet. Still, the Drinks are flowing, Tunes are Cranked and the Burgers are Deliciously Charred. Plus the Surrounding Ocean Views help make it all worthwhile. Business hours are the same as the Park's so they close at Sunset. Come and get your Munch on!!

    This place is a really nice spot to grab a drink or some food after seeing the lighthouse or checking out the beach. The view is amazing and the bartenders were nice. Drinks were also reasonable compared to other places in the Hamptons. We didn't try the food but it smelled good! Pros: -Great View -Quick Service -Reasonable

    Worst food in Montauk. Terrible service and over priced. If I could leave 0 stars I would.

    Awesome Bloody Mary
    Dina S.

    Beautiful views awesome bartender delicious bloody Mary's we didn't eat anything but the drinks were great my friend had a piña colada there was no skimping on any alcohol. Again must recommend stop if you go to the lighthouse go grab a drink after beautiful water views excellent service.

    Mozzarella Sticks , and Seafood combo - calamari , fried clams , French fries and fried fish.
    Jonathan R.

    This is a very chilled relaxing spot to come too . They serve mostly quick eats / fried foods . All in all the food is good minus the calamari . For the most part the drinks are really good and potent, they definitely don't skimp on the alcohol, you get your money's worth. The service is very good , they're very friendly . Good vibes.

    Be careful paying with a credit card, the cashier included an extra 30% tip without my permission.

Know that there is picnic table seating outdoors on nice days or a pretty big parking lot to enjoy your meal. I'm sure it gets packed during peak summer hours. The portions are huge! For 3 people we ordered lobster bisque, tuna bites, lobster Mac and cheese, a tuna poke bowl, sweet potato fries, and regular fries. Everything is made fresh to order and it was delicious! Literally the best lobster bisque I ever had. And the tuna bites were so unique - fresh tuna, breaded and deep fried. We aren't local but we will be back every time we are on the east end. The owner was also really nice and we wound up talking about camping in the area and things to do during the summer. Super friendly and welcoming!

I can only imagine how busy this place gets during the summer. We ordered a lobster roll, fish and chips, and oysters and enjoyed our food on a picnic table outside of the small restaurant. The inside is mostly for ordering and if you wanted to dine there, there were a decent amount of blue picnic tables outside. Food was pretty good, but not the best for the price. Oysters were a bit sandy and the batter of the fish and chips were a bit too thick for my liking, but we were still really appreciative to have a restaurant option with seafood!

    Montauk Brewing Company, tucked inside a charming red barn, has been a go-to craft beer spot in…read moreMontauk since 2012. It features a small, cozy taproom with just a few bar stools, along with a sunny outdoor patio lined with picnic tables--making it a great place to relax and enjoy brews like the Driftwood Ale or Wave Chaser IPA. As for pet-friendliness, this spot is top-notch. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome both inside the taproom and out on the patio, which is a huge plus. They even released a PAWesome IPA that supports local animal rescue efforts-just one more reason we loved stopping by with our pup!

Felt a little out of place walking in past large crowds of people outside, but once I got into the building it felt just right! The employee greeted me and asked me what I would like to order and a frequent customer came up to talk to me too. There were several flavors on tap that were limited and seasonal. I got the blueberry ale that was seasonal and does not come in the prepackaged cans. My dad got the surf beer which he liked. The shop also has a bunch of merchandise representing their brand - cups, hats, clothing, etc. They also sold a variety pack with 3 of each of the following flavors for less than $30: the surf beer, wave chaser IPA, India pale ale, and juicy pale ale. My favorite was the juicy pale ale which had a hint of tartness to it. Then, I also got a box of their limited pumpkin ale which comes in a 6 pack. That's my favorite out of everything! The place of course has one restroom and a public one across (or at least that's what I heard). Fun place to vibe! Would definitely come back.

We have been here a number of times and usually enjoy our meal and experience. They have Good sushi selections and usually have nice fresh seafood selections. We had Tile fish prepared with escarole, white beans, and crispy leaks. Quite good! We also had wild Alaskan salmon that was somewhat disappointing. Id skip that! Was kind of dry and a bit fishy. Not terrible, but not really exceptionally enjoyable either. Service was good! They definitely work hard! They were washing down the table next to us as we sat down which is fine. Unfortunately, they were using some kind of solution that smelled like dirty or rotten damp rags. Unfortunately the smell took a while to dissipate and impacted our party's experience. It also probably reduced our ordering of pre-meal apps and drinks, not intentionally, but because it wasnt appetizing. We will probably return, because our experience might have been off a bit because they are not in full season yet.
