We stopped here on a rainy April day after a hike through Camp Hero. A lot of places weren't open yet and Hooked got good reviews. 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! read more

Hooked is a takeout spot with a few outdoor tables in front - so if you're here in the off season be prepared to either brave the weather or take this meal to-go. That said, the food here is really fresh and the staff are incredibly nice. We kicked things off with New England Clam Chowder, Kickin Crab Corn Chowder and Lobster Bisque. The New England Clam Chowder was really delicious, one of the best I've had out here. Lobster Bisque was just okay for me, the Kickin Crab Corn Chowder was true to its name with a nice kick. We also had steamers which were fresh and delicious, and a softshell crab sandwich that was fried to perfection. Pricey but hey, it's Montauk. I wish I'd been hungrier because their tomato lobster special sounded out of this world. Everything was really solid. I'd come back. read more

Cute signs, clean, ample outdoor seating, great food, service with a smile, and a friendly crowd who all offered to share tables made this a great experience for us, but (like many places in Montauk) go somewhere else, like the public restrooms around the corner to take care of business and clean your hands before you eat. No bathrooms or place to wash up here! read more

Hooked - Excellent outdoor spaces! - Seafood Near Me - Montauk, New York

Pretty good spot for some local seafood in Montauk! We went during off-season and experienced a bit of wait, but it wasn't too long! 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! read more

MY MIND IS ACTUALLY BLOWN WOW. I didn't even know that you could do all that with a simple ocean animal. Hooked knows how to get the most use out of a crab, fish, and lobster and it left me genuinely impressed. I don't even love seafood and this place made me seriously rethink why Loved the side options! Enjoyed the portion sizes! read more

I came here for lunch on a Friday with my family. They had a good selection of seafood on the menu. There's a few outdoor tables in front. I ordered a lobster roll and it had a lot of lobster so you definitely get the most bang for your buck here. I liked that it came with coleslaw and not fries. My family ordered the clam chowder, the poke, the burger, and the raw clams. The portions were large and the prices were reasonable. I would definitely come back! read more

Great lobster rolls, little mayo and meaty. Quick take out service, picnic tables outside if you care to stay.

Wonderfully fresh seafood, organized service for to-go orders, and the best lobster roll I've enjoyed in a very long time. Their tasty clam belly "boat" came with yummy fries, and the luscious lobster roll was made with just a bit of mayo to hold it together. Casual vacation vibe, reasonable pricing, just excellent overall. read more

We visited hooked a few days ago while in Montauk in October. I am hoping the experience was because we are in the off-season. Although the food looks delicious in the photo, the lobster roll was $34 and almost flavorless with a very sad condiment cup of Cole slaw. The poke bowl had hardly any tuna and the noodles were undercooked. Service was very friendly, we were the only people there so something felt very off. read more

I was craving fish tacos when I did a yelp search. This place popped up so I decided to check it out. These may have been some on the top mahi fish tacos I have ever had. It was made to order with a mango broccoli slaw. I also got a side of fresh corn that was even served hot. Outside tables were available this place is a hit. read more

Staff Extremely Friendly. Menu outside. Cute Blue Table Benches.. Umbrella if you need to open. You will need to go inside to place your order and the staff will bring you your meal once it is ready. We ordered New England Chowder Lobster Mac and Cheese Fish and Chips. and a drink. The Chowder and Fish and Chip were very good. Lobster Mac and Cheese was a bit watery for me with very little lobster bits. Suggest you skip Mac and Cheese. If you are looking for a quick but this is the place to have it. Enjoy!!! read more

Best seafood in a local, casual spot. Pure Montauk vibes. Deducted one star for the unfriendly counter experience.

And the winner for best Hamptons lobster roll goes to... this place! Would head straight here for their perfect balance of mayo and fresh lobster and buttered bun. The tuna bites are okay but that lobster roll is nuts. 5 stars!!! read more

Got us hooked If I had to choose 1 place to eat in Montauk, Hooked would be that place. That lobster was impeccable. The poke was ok The kale was insane ! Order it w the fruit etc and add some shrimp. The service is simple but effective. The prices are I guess Montauk prices. The ambience is summery classic American vibe. Not bad. For the success of that place it would help to expand the seating a little in the future. Conveniently located close to the main beach. read more

First visit. Think it has only been open a month plus (they just got their full liquor license but don't have a cocktail list yet). Another Vieste effort. And free parking in their lot (well I do expect it may get full at times). We had cocktails and then split a dozen MA oysters ($3.50 each) with 4 sauces. Entrees were grilled scallops with asparagus - outstanding - and chicken piccata - large portion but Pomodoro's does it better. Damages for 2 with tip was $175. Give them a try... read more

Wonderful fresh seafood choices. Outdoor dining or takeout are both good choices. I liked the NE Clam chowder. Soft shell crab sandwich with fries is very satisfying. The service is quick and everyone was friendly, you get a real family feel. Good for kids. Even though you sit out front it not located to a busy street. Seems like it is a popular lunch spot for locals. I enjoyed this place and would recommend to anyone looking for a more casual experience. I think you'll be hooked! read more

Unimpressed. Heard so many good things about this spot so I did a stop to try some basic things I always have at other places. Ordered New England Clam Chowder, Peel-n-Eat Shrimp and Fries. Pretty basic. The person was very welcoming and friendly which is why it got 2 stars. Paid a lot but it's Montauk so you know you gonna pay a ton. Got my order sat outside on a beautiful windy day. Soup looked good so did the fries. Shrimp looked a little sus but we will get back to that. Soup was cold. Not even warm, flat out cold and very watery. I always give my chowder the spoon test where I stick it straight up in the middle and see how long it takes to fall over. This was instant. Basically, the consistency of water. Also, bland no flavor. Fries even though fresh from the frier were limp and cold. The shrimp which looked the worst was the best thing I ate and they were just ok - not great just ok. Super disappointed for a spot with such a huge following. Maybe I hit it on a bad day or the cook was having an off day but not willing to go back and try it again read more

Came here recently while in Montauk. Cool little spot that fits right into the neighborhood - no shirt, no shoes, no problem! I ordered a cold lobster roll (there was no option for a hot/cold). There were massive chunks of lobster in a mayo based salad - it was fresh and delicious! I opted for a side of sweet potato fries which were a nice compliment to the main event lol Overall, I loved the vibe and the food and will definitely be back to explore more of the menu! read more

Rarely leave reviews, this place deserves the best possible one. My wife and i have been to half a dozen restaurants on our trip and this was by far the best (and fairest price). Incredibly fresh seafood and produce, and ask for the cocktail sauce. Strange but it's the best I've ever had. read more

Nice casual place. Come inside to place an order. Sit outside to wait for it to be delivered to your table. My first feeling is that it was a mini version of "The Lobster Roll" aka LUNCH. I ordered the Fish 'n' Chips. It was better than average. The fries that come with it are really good too. Seeing others at the table with the New England Clam Chowder makes me wish I did that as well. Maybe next time. Though I enjoyed having dinner here. Is it worth the five stars other people are giving it here? I really don't think so. Between the food quality and the seating availability it is a solid four-star experience. read more

Their oysters are the best we've had. They are local but that's all I really know. But so so good. Also highly recommend the New England clam chowder, the whole belly fried clams and the amazing fried shrimp. The woman who (I think) runs the place and takes your order is so sweet and friendly and is clearly beloved by regulars/locals. read more

A local recommended coming to Hooked for a casual lunch of lobster rolls outside at their picnic tables and that's what we did after visiting the Montauk Lighthouse. The menu was way more extensive than I was expecting. You order inside and they'll bring your food out to you at a picnic table. We got fried clam strips which were incredible, a soft shell crab sandwich and two lobster rolls. The sandwich and fried clam strips came with French fries but the lobster rolls don't so we ordered another side of fries. They also have sweet potato fries. The lobster roll was huge and definitely a fair value for the price. They only have lobster rolls with cold lobster salad, not warm with butter. The fries were nice and fluffy! We were so happy we stopped at such a quaint place for a very filling and delicious lunch. read more

I tried the Fish 'n' Chips which come with fries. I enjoyed but for my taste it was too greasy. I know how fried foods are supposed to be oily but the order had extra oil at the bottom (some extra paper towels before serving could avoid this situation). I ate part of it and ask to take home the other half. The service was nice and average waiting time. I didn't experience the service during busy hours, which I understand orders can be delayed. The place is small and limited seating area. read more

This fall I took a day trip with my boyfriend over to Montauk and was not sure which place would be the best for lobster rolls, but safe to say I guessed right with my initial pick of Hooked! The lobster roll was to die for and the oysters were so fresh and probably the best ones I've ever had in my life! We enjoyed this on the outdoor seating in the end of summer/early fall weather on a quiet roadside and it was truly serene. The service was fast, and the cashier was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area and gave us great suggestions menu-wise too! I can't wait for when Montauk opens for the season again because I surely will be back :) read more

The food was fresh and delicious...not a "fine dining" establishment but definitely worth stopping and ordering if you're nearby...

When in Montauk, ya gotta go for the seafood. It just feels like the right thing to do. Yeah I'm sure there are plenty of great burgers, pizza, and other foody fare, but I'm always jonesing for some fishy food when I find myself at THE END. That's just what my fiancée and I went for when we trekked out to Montauk in August to have a splendid meal at Hooked. Well, it should be noted that Hooked (or hooked with a lowercase "h" as it likes to be known) is a relatively no frills kind of place. With Montauk having a lot of that suave-surfer high-end feel going for it these days (if you get what I'm saying), hooked kind of beats to it's own drum. There's really no where to eat inside of hooked. It's more of an order and take to-go or outside to one of their few sidewalk tables. Though if you like a little more secludedness, they've transformed the adjacent alleyway into a little table alcove which is where we sat after we ordered up our grub. Speaking of grub, you'll find plenty of that aforementioned seafood that I was looking for along with some land lover options. Leading the charge was plenty of lobster as I went with the lobster salad roll (coleslaw on the side) and a lobster bisque that I shared with the lady. A side of sweet potato fries were also purchased while the female ordered up a boat of crab cakes served with regular fries. Starting with the bisque, it definitely was creamy and had that lobster flavor, though I think there's a few other bisques I still put above it (Jordan Lobster Farms forever and always). Moving on to the lobster salad roll, that had plenty of chunky tender lobster meat and the toasted roll brought each bite together so nicely. The sweet potato fries were, well, a sweet accompaniment and a great alternative flavor to everything (the slaw was fresh and crisp too). I also took a nab of my fiancée's crab cakes which were actually quite tasty (I say "actually" because I'm not big on crab cakes in general). It was a fine meal that really didn't break the bank, which you may often find in Montauk with seafood. Overall, hooked has everything you're looking for when it comes to some great seafood to chow down on. It might be a little too casual for some and it may not be the greatest seafood you'll ever eat, but it's a solid spot with respectable prices which is enough to warrant a formidable four star review. I'm sure hooked will, um, hook me in again sometime soon. read more

I did my research prior to our trip to Montauk. Due to many rave reviews, I chose Hooked for lunch. The sign states their hours are Saturday 12pm to 8pm. However, we went there at 11:45 am and it was opened. We ordered their two popular dishes, lobster roll and fish and chips. The price came out to $53. I loved the lobster roll. It was fresh and they loaded a lot of meat. Moreover, the fish was very hot when I bit into it. Hence, I knew they just made it. I highly recommend this place. The service was fast and the dishes were delicious. read more

Extremely Fresh Seafood with lots of outdoor seating options. Everything we had was really delicious and you could tell that it was super fresh. Prices are definitely reasonable for what you're getting and considering how expensive some of the fancy restaurants in Montauk are this is a great option. Just keep in mind that a lot of the food is fried so there will be relatively limited choices for someone who is gluten free or has a sensitive stomach to fried food. read more
