Truly, the cocktails and menu at this restaurant are so inventive and flavor packed it feels as if there has to be something supernatural happening in the kitchen and behind the bar. We came here in early May and sat at the bar. Dillon took great care of us, walked us through the menu and made stellar recommendations all around. After having my mind blown by the Everything Bagel Martini, we moved on to share the charred octopus and Leggy's Thighs. The charred octopus was tender, and paired so well with the citrus fruits on this plate, plus the bite of pistachios?! So well put together. Leggy's thighs (RIP Leggy) were literally the best chicken I'd ever had, fall off the bone tender and topped off with flavorful furikake and hot pickled fresno chilis. We also split the Wagyu sando which I'm literally still thinking about. Wagyu on milkbread?! What an excellent idea. Live acoustic music was going on the night we were here which really added to the cozy ambiance. They also have trivia here on Thursdays (Dillon, if you're reading this, we hope your team wins the championship). 10/10 no notes. Come here if you can get a table.

The food is above average and the service was average. I left a ten dollar tip on a 160 dollar…read moremeal. Ten dollars is the most I tip anywhere regardless of check amount. Please Google how much waiters are paid hourly in New York State minimum. It is about 20 dollars. Only the Deep South still pay waiters a low hourly wage. After I left a tip and clearly wrote 10 dollars and clearly wrote the 170 dollar total I noticed the next day my tip was changed by staff to 29 dollars and my bill was now 190 total. I called the next day and said there was a mistake and I was accidentally overcharged. I gave the staff all the grace in the world. I was then asked if there was a problem with the service after giving 10 dollars!! These obnoxious, smug thieves were caught red handed and could not just refund my 19 dollars without first asking why I ONLY tipped 10. I was going to do a police report so it was good they at least credited back my 19 dollars they stole after I caught them. I wish I did not even leave a ten dollar tip. Waiters in New York make at least 20 an hour. You do not owe them another 20 percent. Btw they made my tip 20 percent AFTER taxes were included. I would eat here again tbh but I will pay in cash the next time. Don't use credit cards with these gonifs.

We got really solid, good food with no wait, right by the docks. Server/bartender was super friendly, and his drinks were on the money (my spicy margarita was refreshing as heck). The spicy shrimp dip was terrific, a must try. My platter of fish and chips was very satisfying. My only minor criticism: They had a live singer (singing along to a tape or something) out on the patio, and she was a bit hard on the ears. We sat inside, where they were blasting Green Day (which was fine). But the problem was that with the doors open to the patio, the two different musics were heard simultaneously which was a bit jarring. I'd suggest one or the other.

Food was incredibly tasty, good variety, and fine portions. Smashed potatoes and lamb sliders were awesome. Service was fine, fast but nothing beyond that. Ambiance was nice with the live music. Although could've been some breaks here or there with it, it created a nice spot. Would definitely return. Best Dish - Smashed potatoes and lamb sliders Would Return - Definitely

Super Fantastic food!…read more From the outside kind of looks like laid back casual taco spot! Inside very causal yet cool surfer vibe. Service and margaritas were great. Not fancy! Laid back, casual! The menu and what came out of the kitchen was exceptional and "5" worthy alone. We had some sushi grade tuna tacos with crispy wonton style shells. The tacos were dressed with all the right flavors and additions you would expect from a top sushi joint. Excellent! We also had Moroccan spiced lamb sliders! Wow good! Perfect! Go to the Gig Shack just to get this! 100% worthy the trip. Id say the menu is somewhat surfer-fusion with California taco influence. There are lots of options. We are glad we tried Gig Shack and will return. Highly recommended casual, cool vibe location, with fantastic food!

Once we were seated at our table, we net our incredible waitress, I believe her name was Amelia. She was beyond helpful in letting me know exactly what I could eat and truly went above and beyond.

My non-vegan friends all loved their food as well! She was so kind and even gave us tips on where to go out for my birthday after dinner. Service is so hit or miss these days and we all really appreciated how well we were taken care of. Can't wait to come back!

We were looking for dinner Saturday night and of the limited options this place looked potentially good. I was terribly wrong. We walked in to see one other table occupied. Sure, it's the offseason, whatever. We ordered a couple of frozen drinks and the problems immediately started. The bartender used way too much ice in the blender. The drinks were obviously undrinkable but served anyway. The drinks did not melt by the time we left. Maybe the food would be good. Wrong again. The lobster in the lobster pasta was tough. I almost hope it wasn't fresh because it would have been a waste. The linguine with clams was no better. At the end of the meal my girlfriend remarked that she had never seen me not finish my dinner. We both knew why I hadn't. Awful restaurant. The owners should be ashamed.

And service was great; he was patient and courteous. We sat by the water window view and it was very pretty. Their charcuterie board is very overpriced for the amount and variety.

We weren't greeted and it took us forever to be seated as the employees were more interested in having conservations with each other than helping us.

It was less than a 10-minute drive from where we were staying, and going there was the best decision! They were offering two lobster rolls for $41, and they were worth every penny. Each roll was generously filled with large chunks of fresh lobster, a little diced celery, and just the right amount of mayo. They weren't overly dressed or packed with unnecessary fillers--the lobster was definitely the star. One roll filled me up, so I packed the second one in a cooler and brought it home to my dad in Nassau County. He loved it and gave it a 5/5 too! They also sell baked goods, and the chocolate chip cookies were delicious. Just keep in mind that there is no seating and you cannot eat on the premises because it's an active driveway. Everything is to go, but the beach is only a short drive away and makes the perfect place to enjoy your food. If you're looking for fresh local seafood, generous lobster rolls, and a no-frills hidden gem, Bennett Shellfish is absolutely worth the visit!
