Decided to visit this place with some friends during our trip due to the extensive gluten-free options available. I made a reservation on a Sunday night, which wasn't needed. I had no idea there was outdoor seating, or I would've requested that. The atmosphere was very casual with hits playing on the speakers and football reruns on the TVs, but none of that took away from the experience. Now onto the food... I ordered the hot lobster roll and a lobster bisque cup. The roll came with fries, but they gratuitously let me sub them out for sweet potato fries at no extra charge. They'll also throw in another roll if you notify the server you plan to split the hot lobster roll with somebody. I've never had one before, but I thought it was good! The roll could've been sliced better since it was difficult to pack the lobster on the sides, but that seemed to be a one-off since others in my party had a better sliced roll. The lobster bisque was thick and creamy. Thicker than what you'd expect, but still very good and they did not skimp out on the seafood. They came out quickly after ordering, which I guess is due to them just having to pour it into a cup in the back. I was expecting it to come with the rest of my meal, so I saved a little once my entree came. Overall, we had a fun experience, and I recommend this spot for a casual meal that can satisfy everyone, due to the plentiful menu options. read more

The restaurant was extremely clean, and the waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. The lobster roll was A+ and came with perfectly crisp French fries. I also had a dozen clams on the half shell, which were incredibly fresh, and the mussels marinara was spot-on. Everything was delicious--I would definitely return! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed all the food options we enjoyed today at LUNCH! The service was phenomenal, quick, and courteous. The food speaks for itself- yummy! The reason why I am giving it 4 stars is because when I opened the folio the check was in a beetle fell out which grossed me out a bit. I cannot say for certain if I will return to this location due to the bug greeting me at the end of the meal. read more

First time trying this location but it lives up to the Amagansett location excellence. My bf thinks this is the BEST LOBSTER ROLL on LI. I got a grilled cheese since there's not the most vegetarian friendly options. Fries are epic and the mozzarella sticks and fish tacos were excellent starters. Nostalgic and delicious. read more

I know that the Four Leaf Best of Long Island nominations for 2026 are now closed, but if they were still open, I would have nominated Lunch Lobster Roll for Best Bloody Mary. They earn top marks for serving brunch in a cocktail glass! The drink came beautifully garnished with shrimp cocktail, bacon, blue cheese-stuffed olives, and celery. I ordered mine "sub vodka for tequila" to make it a Bloody Maria, and it was absolutely perfect -- the right balance of liquor and horseradish spice, and deliciously thick, just the way I like it. I'll never order a Bloody Mary with vodka again -- tequila is the way to go! The olives added that umami punch I adore. I visited on 10/25/25 and sat at the bar. Kaylia K, my waitress and bartender, was warm, friendly, and welcoming. The restaurant itself was spotless and inviting. I also ordered the seafood nachos, which didn't cater to my tastes -- I'll pass on that next time. If you're in the Hamptons and love a well-crafted Bloody Mary, I highly recommend Lunch Lobster Roll. read more

I am ashamed to admit this, but I finally got to have my first lobster roll of the season. I know we are in August, but at Lunch it's Lobster Roll season all year long. Coming out here for the day made me realize I should do it more, even in the fall because there are just as many farm stand here as there are on the North Fork. I spent the day out here in the Hamptons and before heading home, I stopped here to break up the ride a bit (one of my many stops). Everything there is amazing and has been every time I come. I still dream about the special they had where their lobster salad came in a local HUGE heirloom tomato. We came at a slower time, right before the dinner rush, and our server was patient. The food came out quick. Even our crab dip, which she prefaced with it would take a while, came out quickly as well. This is a must if you're coming out east. It's not as touristy as you think as it's a local's favorite. read more

Good food. I don't eat seafood and am still able to have a tasty, enjoyable, filling lunch while folks enjoy the main event - lobster rolls. It's a laid back and friendly atmosphere in the Southampton diner location. Service was prompt and friendly but not intrusive. Large space so you can usually be seated. I've always been too full but looked like interesting desserts as well. Especially in season a good escape from scene-y posturing and all year a great place to grab a great meal read more

Allie was so helpful and friendly. Atmosphere, service, and food were great. We'll be back. read more

Lunch Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Southampton, New York

We loved this place so much, we returned... I initially thought a year later, but apparently it's been TWO years since we first came here. Regardless, I'm saddened to say the lobster bisque that we have dreamed about eating again was not as good... boo-hoo. I think it was a lack of sherry. Even a splash of sherry would alter the flavor enough for me to notice, and it makes everything else pop with flavor, as well. Also, as many huge chunks of lobster that there were 2 years ago, well, it was hardly anything this time, and they were small chunks at best. I'd say they have become what many other restaurants have done, and that is to cut corners where they think they can get away with it. I'm here to say, NO, YOU CANNOT. I pay attention, and I can taste, and I DO NOTICE. I have been dying to bring my son-in-law here for 2 years, and now that I witnessed what I did this most recent time, I wouldn't bring him. It was still good, but it sure wasn't great. Not even close. read more

Cuisine: 6 Service: 7 Decor: 6 Value: 5 Overall: 6 Spent the past weekend staying at our friend's place in Hampton Bays. Decided to try this restaurant since our original spot to get lobster rolls ran out of anything lobster by 1:00pm on a Sunday. All their business apparently shifted here just like us. Lol Anyway, it turned out to be a decent meal overall. The hot lobster roll was better than the cold, however, neither were amazing for the price. With that said, the large, plump, and juicy soft shell crab was cooked extremely well. Just look at my photos and see how crispy it appears. The popcorn shrimps were lightly battered and fried to perfection. Skip on the expensive seafood chili. The NE clam chowder and lobster bisque were average or below, but the Manhattan clam chowder stood out. Very unique and different than most, which is probably why I enjoyed it more than usual. Last but not least, no matter what you do, get the unbelievably awesome sweet corn. One ear of sweet corn came with the entree, but we ordered three more as sides to make sure we each had one to enjoy. read more

Stopped here for lunch on a bus trip to Long Island. They had the best lobster roll lunch with French fries and Cole slaw. The lobster roll was made without being overly wet do you could really taste the lobster which was shredded so nicely it stayed in the bun. They also made a delicious non-alcoholic Pina colada! I would highly recommend this place for their quality of food as well as great service! read more

We've visited this restaurant year after year, but unfortunately the quality has really declined. The service was disappointing, and the food did not meet expectations. The clam chowder was inedible, my lobster roll was served lukewarm, and two of our meals came out incorrectly. It's disappointing because this used to be one of our go-to spots, but sadly we won't be returning. read more

This place can definitely get really busy especially during peak summer months. But the lobster roll is worth the wait. The bun is delicious and topped with a generous portion of lobster. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The rolls are a little pricy but tastes great! read more

Food exceeded expectations, including one of the best lobster rolls I've ever had. The service was great as well. Highly recommend .

This place does have good food and great bloody Marry's but it's not worth the price. The key here is the price & service. Food: -Cold classic lobster roll was really good but not as great as Portland and when you're paying more than $40 you'd expect it to be some of the best. -Clam chowder was also great, hearty, and thick. -Bloody marry was phenomenal. - Fries (side) were just ok. Service was good. The staff were very kind. It is a pretty causal atmosphere, think of it as more of a plain diner. read more

Lunch makes a delicious lobster roll in addition to other a seafood dishes. The hot lobster roll comes with the lobster meat on a separate dish from the bun and you can assemble yourself so the bun doesn't get soggy. It's fantastic. We had to try the seafood chili nachos and were pleasantly surprised. They have indoor and outdoor door seating. All the staff was friendly enough. read more

I had been to Lunch when they used to be near Riverhead years ago but hadn't been here since they opened. The restaurant is in an old diner and very nice inside. We got seated immediately and our server came by pretty quickly. My mom ordered the Connecticut style lobster roll and I ordered a traditional style with sweet potato fries. I tried a bite of my mom's lobster and it was so good. Mine was excellent as well, and refreshing on the hot day we had. The sweet potato fries were perfect, and loved the honey mustard with it. The coleslaw was also really good but maybe a touch less sugar in it. Service was excellent and I definitely want to go back again soon. read more

Solid place for seafood! Came in late afternoon on a Saturday. I was seated quickly at the bar and the waitresses were very attentive and kind. I got a hot lobster roll and fried clams. The fried clams I would pass on next time as they were a lot of batter without much clam. The hot lobster roll came deconstructed so you could build it yourself, which I actually appreciated because I took half of it home. The bun was nicely toasted on the outside, fluffy on the inside. The lobster was fresh and tender. A little pricey for the amount, but probably reasonable for the island. read more

If you've been to the Lobster Roll in Amagansett but don't love the flies and all that nature going on with al fresco dining, this location could be what you're looking for. It's in the old diner with a slight facelift. Very clean and perfect for folks who may not enjoy the picnic atmosphere of the original location. If you're coming to Lunch, then really, you're coming for a Lobster Roll. I got the hot version and it was everything I'd hoped for (I'd never had the hot version before.) This was the perfect choice. Clean and simple. Good lobster. I'm not going to bother reviewing anything else because, why? You shouldn't be coming here for other stuff. Just get what they're known for! LOBSTER! Oh and the fries were good too. read more

We went to Montauk during off season. Everything was closed for the season but was happy to see Lunch's Southampton location was still open. Probably the best hot lobster roll I've ever had, very buttery, and huge chunks of lobsters. The lobster bisque was also delicious and had lots of ingredients in it. Our waiter was also very friendly and checked in on us often. read more

Everything you'd want in a seafood diner. A charming diner with a massive seafood menu and delicious cold lobster roll and bun, packed with fresh lobster, and a comforting cup of tasty clam chowder. Kick butt coleslaw and creamy, frothy chocolate egg cream. Party/bar room with lots of outdoor seating in the back. Only drawback is the price, with the lobster roll alone at $35, but that's the Hamptons for ya. Would still try any of their locations. 5 stars!!! read more

Amazing food!! For my husband had the lobster bisque--it was next level buttery and creamy with big chunks of lobster. He also had the hot lobster roll which was so good. I sampled both. I had the fried shrimp with roasted new potatoes and a cup of corn chowder because I love corn chowder. It was great too. So many tempting things on the menu. Everything so fresh and good. Great casual local vibe and our server was fun. read more

Came here for lunch a few months ago. I like their hot lobster rolls. It comes with chunks of lobster for you to assemble your own sandwich. Lobster bisque is also good, but I didn't like the fish dip I ordered, as it turned out to be a cheesy dip with the flavor profile of a cream and spinach dip (definitely not what I would picture as a fish dip). It's a casual spot for a quick bite. read more

Looks like a diner refurbished. Cozy neighborhood feel inside. Has a bar area as well as counter to eat at. Booths and table seating. We had a booth on a rainy Saturday early evening in March, the place was empty. I'm sure when the weather gets nice again, this place packs out. Great night for soup. The lobster bisque was one of the best I have ever had. Thick with huge pieces of lobster meat. Absolutely delicious! Popcorn shrimp appetizer was yummy but nothing to brag about. Loved the yelp check in free beer or glass of wine. Yes please! Service was slow, which was surprising given all the people working there and lack of customers. I'm not out in this area often, but would definitely come back when I am. The prices are good, especially for Hamptons dining. read more

A bit pricey but they have a very yummy lobster roll and fun outdoor patio. Big fan of the cole slaw too and our waiter was great.

The lobster roll was quite good. The woman who seated me was insulting, perhaps inadvertently. I was alone and asked for a single table rather than a booth. The restaurant was not very busy. It was late afternoon on a Saturday between meals. She took me outside of the entry-area dining area into a massive room on the left that had no people in it. There were large tables and one tiny table by a wall. Would you like this (tiny) table she said? My punishment would be to sit alone in a huge room. No doubt, she would insist that she was merely complying with my request. I took a chair at the counter. And like I said, the lobster roll was quite good. read more

Our waitress was absolutely amazing. So friendly and gave great tips about the menu and the local area. The star of the show was the crab cake sandwich, which was flavorful & heavy on the crab. The lobster tacos were also tasty. The lobster in the taco was great all by itself. The restaurant gives a nice sense of nostalgia with the booth seating and made to order cherry cokes and Shirley temples. read more

Hello Yelpers!!! Another review just for you! We had lunch at the Lunch Lobster roll yesterday and must rave to you about our experience. First, our waitress Celina took amazing care of our table offering suggestions and ideas. The manager on that day was Jerilyn who also spent time talking with us and making sure that we enjoyed our lunch (which really was like a dinner). Celina and Jerilyn were so attentive and Celina really made sure that the timing of our food was right. We all ordered the lobster Mac n cheese which came with a very nice side salad. I also ordered the crock sized lobster bisque. The lobster bisque was OMG unbelievable. It was full of lobster meat (or whatever my wife didn't steal from me) and was just so buttery smooth! My mouth is watering as I write this thinking of it. (I took a quart home with me..... Thank you Jerilyn) The side salads were a perfect size and the dressing delicious too. Now..... the Lobster Mac n Cheese was out of this world! Each bite has lobster in it and the Mac n cheese was just so cheesy! I got myself a shirt when I left and will proudly be wearing it! Everything was perfect and I look forward to going back! read more

Everything about this place was 5 stars! Service with a smile and some great recommendations. The place reminded me of a fishing town: wooden walls, surf boards hanging on the wall and lots of cute decor. The menu was loaded with so many options. We came for lobstah rolls. We also indulged in a few other items. First off.. get the ONION RINGS, they are amazing. The fried clams(small size) were plentiful, enough for 3 people. The lobstah roll is plated on a nice dish and the bun and sauce are on the side. Excellent way to present this deliciously fresh entree. Hubby is a land luber so no seafood for him. He did opt for the hotdog that he said was meh($9.50). read more

Must go to lunch spot while in the area... big menu that is accommodating to all but it would be a miss to not get the lobster roll. Couldn't decide a favorite between hot/ cold so grab a friend and split both. The crab dip to start was PHENOMENAL as well. Service was 10/10 all wait staff was incredibly nice and our waiter was super personable, funny, and did not rush us out of there! read more

Lunch Lobster Roll is a solid dining outing- delicious with unpretentious service. On a early Friday afternoon this diner-like space had tables available, but they filled up quickly. I like that the tables are spread out so it feels spacious and considerate, instead of a churn farm feel. The menu consists of tried and true seafood staples including the namesake lobster rolls. Call us crazy but we didn't get any lobster rolls. We enjoy the fried calamari, Paul's Famous Seafood chili, and a cheeseburger. The calamari was the perfect texture and not a greasy surf n turf mess. You can select from three different cheeses for a cheeseburger. The seafood chili came out looking like an appetizer but watch out, it's sneaky in it's fillingness. Although the menu describes it as spicy there is no heat. There were two unisex bathrooms in the back dining room with air dryers. I didn't get a water refill but service was otherwise fine. This should be on your roster of area eats. read more

Don't be fooled by the outside. Looks like a diner but inside it is definitely seafood all the way. The lobster bisque was perfect and loaded with fresh seafood. I had a burger that was flame broiled and delicious. They also have great gluten free rolls. My wife had the hot lobster roll and there was so much lobster that it couldn't fit in the roll. The staff is super friendly and the place was spotless. We will definitely be back. read more

Food was served quickly and effectively. Service was cordial and friendly. Menu was varied with plenty of good options-not only variety of choices but also how they are cooked. Broiled, baked or fried provides excellent choices for customers from one end of the health stream to the other. Recommended for lunch or dinner. read more

Lobster roll had lots of lobster. Lobster bisque & clam chowder were both tasty but I prefer the chowder cause the bisque didn't have that much lobster. We liked the clam strips too. Our waitress seemed to be struggling with too many tables but she was super nice. We had a bit of a wait though since she was at so many tables. Eventually another male waiter came to take over some tables but that was by the time we were done with the majority of the meal and waiting for the bill. The place is clean, open spaced and light. I think being sanitary is very important in a restaurant and they had it down when I went. read more

I visited here while in the Hamptons with a friend from London, and everything we ordered was incredible and fresh. We tried a large variety of items, but the standout for everyone was definitely the soup selection. The soups were fresh, creamy, and packed with delicious seafood.

We have always loved the casual atmosphere of the Amagansett location, but was so happy when they opened a year round location in Southampton. I have always been a Manhattan Clam Chowder Fan and was blown away the first time I had their Manhattan Seafood Chowder. I would keep going back just for that, but the lobster rolls, both versions are the best. Two of my other favorites are the stuffed flounder and the broiled fisherman's platter. We are bar people (I tend bar in the area) and like to socialize at the bar. The renovation is very clean , but too open and sterile for my taste but the food and service make up for it. It is surprising how few true seafood restaurants there are in the area considering the proximity to the ocean. Long Island Sound and bays , but these two locations of Lunch make up for it. read more

I want to give this establishment a glowing review so here goes. I have passed this place numerous times in the past and never stopped there. Today as I was driving by on my way east I decided to stop on my way back. What an excellent decision. I didn't even realize it was mainly a seafood restaurant and quite honestly I'm not a seafood lover. I saw one of my favorite seafood appetizers on the menu, shrimp cocktail. It said 6 jumbo shrimp & I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much for the price. When it arrived at the table the shrimp were anything but shrimpy. They were a very good size. Very fresh & the cocktail sauce was excellent. The food came shortly after the appetizer was done. For my meal I ordered the fried chicken BLT with fries, AMAZING! My girlfriend ordered the clam strip platter with fries. I was never a fan of clam strips but she raved about how good they were so I tried them and it changed my whole outlook on clam strips. I actually ate a handful of them and thoroughly enjoyed them. The fries were top notch and we both loved them. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the server was friendly and welcoming. The food was so good that I contemplated ordering a dessert but I was so stuffed I just had to pass. I should have taken some pictures but I was hangry & when the food came the last thing I was thinking of was taking a picture. I definitely will return here next time I'm in the area. Highly recommend! read more
