    Lobster roll, oysters, fish and chips
    Kathy P.

    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!

    Amazing No Frills outdoor seating spot. One of the most delicious meals in Montauk that I've had. It's unpretentious amazing tasty seafood. The chowder soups and lobster rolls are must have here. The service is quick and they are very friendly!

    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!

    Clean, causal and friendly. Very fresh food! A good variety and with all of the standards that you would expect. There are only picnic tables for dining outside or takeout. No bathrooms and no indoor seating. Perfectly made and fresh food, skip Gosman's and come here!

    Came to Hooked for dinner with friends. Seafood was really fresh, love the taste. Cute decorations and lots of seats outside. Various beers and drinks options! Price is reasonable, service was quick!

    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!

    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.

    Lobster Roll, Poke Bowl
    Nancy M.

    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.

    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.

    Lobster Mac and cheese  Fish and Chips New England Clam Chowder
    Niss A.

    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!!!

    Lobster roll and clams

    Their award winning clam chowder and lobster salad rolls speak for themselves. Great low key spot for lunch. You can order to stay or to go, but either way you will leave happy.

    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!!!

    Lobster roll  Tuna poke  Kale salad w tangerines or oranges don't remember
    Georgios V.

    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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!
