So let's just stipulate that the prices are eye-watering and you just need to take that as a given. That aside, the Pantry has all.the.things. Pretty much anything you need to enjoy this Fire Island paradise, from baguettes to fresh veggies to candles to dog treats. The butcher is excellent, so's the fish, and they make great sandwiches and prepared food. We get kinda fancy here in the Pines (I mean, we have tea EVERY DAY haha), so you can find things like artisan pasta sauce, cheeses, and fresh herbs. Generally all of this is delivered by a bunch of friendly folks with ready smiles, so, win-win.

I'm so glad Long Island finally got a Wegmans. When they first opened I thought their prices were…read morereally high but then I notice the Hot Zone Prices was really good deals. When you walk into the store there is a sign of items and prices and they compare them to some of the other markets in the area which is always good to see. Another plus is that they are open till Midnight and it's close to home. A year later and I'm obsessed with this super market. It's very clean and the customer service is always amazing. My son loves coming here to watch the lobsters. The seafood department always comes out with a Wegmans hat to give him and let him touch a lobster. The deli department is always nice. I love the meats from the meat section and the butcher. I love the organic everything they have it's always fresh and reasonable. The Bakery department is my other favorite part of the store. I never tried any of their cooked food. Except the sushi station. No complaints there. I tried many of their store bands and so far so good, except the cheese. It doesn't melt for some reason. I never had any issues at any of the department. From ordering Groceries from the app to looking for coupons, the app is great at navigating it all. There are a few brands that Wegmans does not sell so sometimes I still have to branch out to another market. But for our main supermarket Wegmans is it.

For those that haven't been to Wegmans before, it's a more upscale supermarket that has a nice…read moreenvironment with a lot of prepared foods / baked goods. Wegmans has a special place in my heart as I went to college upstate where there weren't many good food options. I used to go with friends to get subs from Wegmans and they were always amazing. So I was pretty excited when I heard there would be an outpost of this place coming to LI. I was pleased to see the sub shop at Wegmans churning out subs as I remembered. I think Wegmans also uses freshly baked bread for their subs; I chose the 'white everything' bread. I went with a large 'Wegmans Assorted' sub that has roast beef, ham, and turkey ($16.49). You can ask for packets of their 'sub sauce' on the side for no extra cost, which I recommend. I ended up pairing my sub with a bottle of Mountain Dew ($2.99). Total cost with tax included was $20.15. I was pleased to see that this Wegmans has a really nice seating area with a bunch of different tables and good natural lighting. You can get condiments and utensils for free upon entry. I unwrapped my sub and dug in. The sub itself is quite big, so I'm glad they still give you a lot of sandwich for the large size (I asked for my sub to be cut in quarters). However, when I finally took a bite of the sub, I was extremely disappointed. The sub was nothing like I remembered. It didn't taste bad, it's more that the sub didn't taste like anything at all. It felt like none of the ingredients had any flavor to it. It was kind of disorienting. I did some research online and realized that this is due to the cold cuts being used. It seems that the Wegmans subs of my memories used freshly sliced cold cuts of better quality, while the sub I got at the LI location used pre-cut cold cuts that were way worse quality. This resulted in a very 'watery' feel to the bite of the sandwich. There wasn't much flavor or texture to it at all. After realizing this upon the first bite, it was sad that the rest of the sandwich felt like dead weight. I ate the rest of it for dinner though cause I didn't want to waste anything. So I left Wegmans very disappointed to say the least. I guess it's true that nothing good lasts forever but I'm hoping that Wegmans can turn this around at some point.

The local restaurant was closed on a day the web said it was open, so I took the 20 minute walk east to Ocean Beach and easily found the store. Don't bother with the $$$ water taxi, or the super sandy mid-road (with mini-ponds to go through after rain!) It is a lovely walk on the beach. Fruits, snacks, drinks and a really friendly staff made my lunch hunt easy. I was not immediately interested in the deli, but that was more about not wanting to carry a sandwich around on a hot day. *Tip: I would bring a plastic bag.

Title: The Human Raincloud of the Montauk IGA…read more I've been shopping at the Montauk IGA for years and can say, without hesitation, that it's usually a shining example of small-town warmth and friendliness. The staff is famously helpful, cheerful, and welcoming -- which is why encountering Dayanara at the checkout feels like suddenly stepping into a thunderstorm in the middle of a sunny day. It's as if her job description reads: "Scowl, sigh heavily, and make customers question all their life choices." She manages to inject rudeness into the most basic exchanges, going out of her way to be curt, unhelpful, and generally unpleasant. If Montauk ever needed a mascot for passive-aggressive hostility, she'd be overqualified. This isn't a case of someone having a bad day -- this is a professional commitment to being a human sandpaper strip. The contrast with the rest of the staff is so stark it's almost performance art. For the sake of the store's otherwise stellar reputation, she should be moved into a role that doesn't involve live humans. Stock room. Night shift. Mars. Anywhere but the checkout lane. IGA Montauk, keep doing what you do best -- just maybe reassign your resident mood assassin before she convinces visitors that "Montauk charm" is a myth.
