    Hot lobster roll
    Matt Z.

    Roll into The Lobster Roll and stay awhile. The outdoor area is great eating a wisteria tree is an experience. The food is delicious and the drinks are great. The Mango Mai Thai is delicious. Service was fantastic.

    Warm Lobster Roll
    Charles B.

    Lunch Lobster Roll was exactly what we needed for the perfect Mother's Day lunch! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive, the ambiance was charming, and the food absolutely delivered. We started with a few appetizers: * Crab Dip - not my personal favorite, as it tasted more like spinach dip and could have used more crab * New England Clam Chowder - delicious and packed with clams * Lobster Bisque - WOW. This is a must-order. Rich, flavorful, and loaded with lobster For our mains, we all ordered lobster rolls. I went with the warm lobster roll, and it did not disappoint. It was packed with tender knuckle meat and perfectly buttery. The rest of the table ordered the traditional lobster salad roll, which was equally fresh and delicious. If you're looking for a great seafood spot with fantastic service and amazing lobster rolls, Lunch Lobster Roll is absolutely worth the visit!

    Tuna steak sandwich
    Sherrie H.

    This place is solid. We go for the Tuna steak sandwich which is so delicious .. they've got a wasabi mayo, fries and coleslaw that comes with it ..: always good. The staff are also always friendly and super helpful. There's a cool sea faring vibe and it's a nice casual place to get above average food.

    Battered Onion Rings
    Mustang M.

    The food is amazing and the staff are friendly. The food comes out fast and it's worth the price. The Hot Lobster Roll, Bang bang shrimp,and onion rings are my favorite. The ambiance is cute. The outside area is covered with umbrellas to block the sun.

    Food portions were small but Wow Delicious! Service was ok. The drink and food quality was perfect.

    Cold lobster roll
    Adam B.

    This place is iconic ... at one point, before the commercialization of the Montauk area, this was one of only two options for true roadside seafood stands in the area. Now, there are too many to count ... but this is the classic. I am not sure if it changed hands ... managers ... owners, etc. but the last few years made it not as good as it used to be. That's not to say it's bad. It's fucking great ... and probably always will be. But it just seemed like one of those spots where everything clicked and it was a true 5-star experience that was just on point. As in, perfect. Now, it's just great ... and I'll take that. Food: - I always get the cold lobster roll. Spoiler alert ... You are not going to get the same lobster roll you see on their Instagram and social. I was taught to always under promise and over deliver when it comes to marketing. The social media that shows giant, red chunks of lobster meat in a light dressing? Not really the case. You'll get mostly knuckle and shredded claw meat. A few chunks but their IG page is the equivalent of a McDonalds menu board showing crispy lettuce, fluffy buns and thick char-grilled burgers, when we all know what you actually unwrap. Having said that, this will rival anything you get in Maine ... or anywhere else. The meat is fresh and the dressing is perfect ... a little mayo, celery chunks and slight seasoning. The bun was toasted ... but not with butter ... which is too bad because that makes a huge difference. I probably could have eaten 25% more sandwich and been satisfied but I will admit that it left me wanting a few more bites for the price. Their fish and chips are my favourite ever. Freshly cut fingers of cod loin fried in light tempura batter. That makes all the difference. I have noticed that you used to get thicker rectangles in the past. Now, the pieces are a bit thinner. I'd recommend getting the full portion. The appetizer portion is a bit skimpy with 4 smaller sticks. Also ... the printed menu says $8 and the price charged is $10. Having said that, I have never had better fried fish. French fries are crinkle cut. Shake Shack stole this. Nothing special ... bagged and delicious. The service: Awesome. It is clear they hire people who truly enjoy working here. They are very capable and on the ball. Most don't use pads and remember your order. Our waitress was cheerful but not over the top ... very friendly and made our meal better. Atmosphere: Inside is a typical beach bar decor. Not fancy at all. The outdoor patio is where you want to sit. The two top tables are placed a bit awkwardly ... you are literally bumping elbows with the table next to you, it's that close. Also, don't expect privacy in your conversation. Also, they look at the tables across from you, so you kind of feel like you are watching someone else eat uncomfortably. Not to mention I had to look at a fat guy's butt crack who was sitting across from me at a picnic table for the whole meal. Overall, this is a classic roadside beach snack shack. Sure, prices are high because you are in the Hamptons but everything is fresh and good and worth the splurge. The music is fun, 1980's tunes and a very good and relaxing playlist. I'll continue to come back even though we're at 4 - 4.5 stars vs. the old days of 5+.

    Great place for lunch

    Great Lobster roll. Wife had grilled cheese it was outstanding. Service was great The Margarita was really good

    Refreshing iced tea

    Summer isn't summer without a lobster roll at Lunch. It was a beautiful day, the restaurant is bright and clean. Service is friendly and welcoming (thanks Vincenzo!) I devoured my lobster salad roll and creamy Cole slaw. My husband opted for seafood chili and licked the bowl clean. It was full of lobster, shrimp and scallops, topped with cheese and accompanied by sturdy tortilla chips to scoop it all up. He finished with the frozen key lime pie (key lime is his all time favorite) and gave it two thumbs up.

    4.0 / 5.0 Speaking of Montauk, this is the place to be! It was crowded with many customers from the moment it opened. I gave my name at the reception and waited about 10 minutes, but the turnover was good so I was able to enter without waiting too long. The restaurant was larger than I expected, with table seats, counter seats, and terrace seats. I ate on the terrace, but there were umbrellas and other measures to provide shade so I didn't feel the heat of the sun. The famous lobster roll was delicious, but the Baked Stuffed Shrimp was also very tasty with a strong garlic flavor! I recommend sharing it with the roll. The staff were all kind and gave me a coloring book for kids. There are also two clean restrooms.

    Good food. Service is efficient. Sat outdoors under the plant balcony. Unfortunately it was a bit cold but the food was fortifying. Better value here. Hot lobster roll was a DIY adventure. Manhattan seafood chowder was satisfying, full of flavor and goodies. Clam strips were meaty and delicious. Crab cakes were good too, with minimal fillers and binders.

    From the moment we arrived, the experience fell well below the expectations set by your website and…read moremarketing materials. There was no staff member available to check us in, and after receiving the access code to our room, we discovered the door lock was malfunctioning. The room itself was also noticeably darker and less clean than advertised. Additionally, several amenities promoted as part of the property were unavailable. The on-site restaurant was completely closed throughout our stay, there was no water or ice station, and there was not even a vending machine available for guests. Perhaps most concerning was the complete lack of on-site customer service. There were no staff members, security personnel, or anyone available to assist guests in person. We were instructed to text a phone number if we needed assistance. During our stay, I requested an iron via text and never received a response. The property is marketed as a resort experience, but our stay was anything but. The lack of basic services, unavailable amenities, and absence of guest support made for a frustrating and disappointing experience.

    DO NOT STAY HERE!…read more Our experience was extremely disappointing from the beginning. After paying for our reservation, we received no confirmation and received no response to multiple calls and emails. I ultimately had to contact the Chamber of Commerce to confirm that the business was legitimate. It was not until approximately one week before our trip that I was finally able to reach someone by email and phone and confirm our reservation. Immediately following, I received a cancellation policy stating that cancellations had to be made 14 days prior to arrival, leaving us with no reasonable opportunity to reconsider our stay. Had we known the actual condition of the property and that the restaurant was not operating with no supplemental vending, we would have canceled--particularly because I was with my senior citizen mother and was traveling with my two young children. 1. There was no operating restaurant, food service, ice, microwave, beverages, or meaningful amenities on the property. 2. No welcome information containing WiFi info or local recommendations. 3. The property appeared neglected, with overgrown landscaping blocking basic entrances to the property, glass in the sand, dead plants, accumulated garbage, and generally poor upkeep. 4. Our room was missing light bulbs, had a broken light fixture, non-functioning bathroom vanity lights, dead remote batteries, stained mattress and chairs, grotesque soiled rugs, drain flies, and a strong musty/mold-like odor that caused us to have an allergic reaction. Despite repeatedly requesting light bulbs and batteries, these basic items were not replaced until our final day. 5. There was insufficient privacy as the curtains did not cover the windows in full. 6. The communal bathrooms contained indecent photographs of women on the walls, which I found completely inappropriate given that I was using the restroom with my children. 7. There was no clear front desk or any identifiable staff presence, and communication with the person answering the property's phone number (taped to the door no less!), was extremely poor and unhelpful. 8. We received no assistance with luggage and were not offered any type of solution such as a cart or wagon. We had to carry heavy bags and a cooler on our own at arrival and departure. 9. The outdoor fire pit could not be safely used. An attempt to light it involved lighter fluid, producing heavy smoke and fumes that forced me to move my children and myself, an asthmatic, away from the area. 10. Signs warned of recent pesticide application, but no one could tell us when it had been applied or provide basic safety information. 11. On our final day, unannounced construction was taking place with noise debris in the air. Overall, the property felt cold, unwelcoming, poorly maintained, and largely unattended. There was essentially no hospitality or guest service during our stay. The lack of basic communication, maintenance, cleanliness, amenities, and hospitality was far beyond what we reasonably expected based on the booking. When we contacted the property again regarding our poor experience, we received no response.

I'm sure there are numerous summer hot spots in the Hamptons that one can lay out at but here the staff was super sweet and ultra attentive. Parking can be slightly challenging because all spots are not overtly clear. Once you finally maneuver into a spot and park up the lounge-ability, drink-ability, and vitamin D factor is totally abundant. Not a large space but comfortable with separate pool, bar and patio areas. It would be nice if it was adult only, but kiddies are allowed too. Just A Note: Lyft is now servicing the Hamptons and Breakers Montauk is only a short Lyft from the LIRR Montauk stop.
