Shocked at some of the negative reviews on here, because to me this place is consistently good. Yes, the service is casual, but I've never waited long to be served at the bar or table. Yes, some of the food is more on the expensive side, but it's the Hamptons. Also, the amount of specials this place offers makes it more than affordable. Stop in for Taco Tuesday for $3 tacos or Wednesday for $8.99 burger night and your wallet will thank you. Shout out to Jimmy, my favorite bartender, who makes the best jalapeno margarita around (which is only $12 on Tuesdays, you're welcome). Their burgers here are solid and always cooked the way you ask for. The Mexican Street Corn Nachos are incredible and great for sharing. The wings and quesadillas here are solid as well. Plus they often have food specials to shake things up and keep it interesting. The decor is fun and unique, it's just a relaxed welcoming vibe all around. It's also nice to see owners involved in the day to day operations of this place. They're often in here enjoying dinner with friends which also says a lot - if they love eating here so will you! read more

SAVE NEW MOON CAFE BEFORE THEY CLOSE SATURDAY..... Magical. That's how I would describe this place in one word. The moon, flowers outside that only bloom at night. The lights, the garden the people, the outdoor music with bands from Bluegrass to local musicians to wonderful homemade food. This place is in need of your help because of Covid and family illness. They are closing their doors this Saturday if they do not meet their goals on GoFundMe. It is vital that this place gets support ASAP. Please go on GoFundMe and please visit this restaurant right away to keep this amazing place open. If you have never been here, this place is one of a kind. All you have to do is visit it one time and you will never forget it. read more

In town for work. Two stars because the bar tender (Charlie maybe?) was kind, and they serve Shiner Bock. Ordered a burger with steak fries. My god. Fries were literally mostly raw. Burger was an ice cold puck with no flavor. Came with half a tomato and half an onion to cover up the flavorless muck. Asked for the bbq sauce, since they're a "bbq" restaurant, and it was broken and merely existed. Maybe locals love it. Beautiful venue, stage and outdoor eating. Food is one step above high school lunch: read more

Great food and service and happy environment! I'd come here again. Even the owner who originally built the building came over to say hello. It was such a treat and a cap to a nice weekend. read more

New Moon Cafe - Crumb cake and part of the menu - Barbeque Near Me - East Quogue, New York

About as casual as you could get. Was there a hostess? Maybe? Did we have a server? Maybe. I just don't know. Random people running around like chickens without their heads. We had to ask for everything. One person told us to "sit anywhere". Someone else brought us menus - after we flagged him down. Another person took our order. You get the picture. Food - as casual as the service. Barely acceptable and served room temperature. Nothing more I can tell you. This was a Sunday brunch - maybe they do better at dinner. read more

I'm sooo happy to have found Cowboy Ron and his awesome wife Shana's New Moon Cafe just a hop and a skip away from our second home in HB!! They have been in business for over 40 years and are open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner and have a really cool very southwestern feeling restaurant and also a beautifully stocked bar. All of course is safely in the guidelines for Covid safety precautions and rules too. Onto breakfast! Ordered one of the specials of the morning :grilled cheese breakfast Sandwich with 2 eggs, bacon, Jack cheese placed between 2 buttery cheesey pieces of grilled toast: it was total comfort food. I asked if the kitchen wouldn't mind not wrapping my breakfast burrito but just put the contents on a plate and and the Tortilla on the side and they happily obliged. The egg, peppers, onions and chorizo mixture was so flavorful and satisfying. The accompanying potatoes are delicious too! Also shared the grits with super garlicky jumbo shrimp that came with a homemade biscuit and 2 eggs any way you like. The grits are seasoned perfectly and the heavily garlic infused sautéed shrimp were a perfect accompaniment. We met both the owners and I totally connected with Cowboy Ron when we spoke about how he and my father were both in the Vietnam War around the same time frame! Lovingly family owned, awesome attentive staff and delicious are a great combo that is going to have us coming back for years to come! read more

This is one of the only places where I like the live music. Was not too loud, very nice people , and amazing music. Food was amazing, especially the specialty cranberry jalapeño wings. Food came out a little slow, but all the other factors surrounding this place made up for that fact. read more

Ambience was good, drinks were too sweet, I've never tasted a martini so overly sweet. Bruschetta didn't taste fresh, 3 of 4 entres were ok. But i ordered a caccio e peppe pasta and it was just melted butter and lots of pepper on penne. Dis they forget 1 our of the 3 ingredients in this dish? They sure did. Such a disapointment. Specially x the price! Place wasnt crowded and service was super slow read more

Well the coffee is pretty good for Saturday brunch, the wait staff was attentive and very nice...if you are thinking about breakfast stay home and cook you'll be glad you did...bacon & eggs, bacon burnt asked for replacement came undercooked advertised as thick country bacon not sure what country it came in from...biscuits and gravy, not having been raised on b&g have only a few times to compare best (5) to never ever again (0) this did not make the cut line to be rated! Sunny side eggs good, breakfast potatoes ok, no toast included. Wife had pancakes awful! With tip $57! No special drinks! Next time cook breakfast at home or drive thru Mickie D'S...you'll have more money in your pocket and a lot less heartburn and regret! Nice coffee nice staff... read more

Local place in East Quogue. Themed day specials during the week. The food is good but a little pricey.

Very homey place with friendly staff, good food and decent prices. Had the brisket hash which was tasty and the special banana nut pancakes which hit the pot. read more

Came in on a Saturday. I had the beet and goat cheese salad with chicken and my son had the brisket sandwich and then brisket max and cheese. Was really good and we had great service from Mikey! read more

So we were on our way back from East Hampton. When we decided to find a food stop. It was 3:30pm on Saturday afternoon. Traffic was building and we wanted to get in & out before the crush. We agreed on New Moon, which we had been to before The Virus. Well, I'm pleased to report - nothing 's changed - nothing. It's still very quaint, very funky. We just wanted burgers and they were great. We all ordered the same one - but with different fries for each. Cami had sweet potato fries, Bobby crinkle cut and me big wedges. All first rate. Service was top notch also. Price was good too, especially considering Cami had her usual wine & me a tap beer. It was good. It was fun. It was quick. It was reasonable. read more

We eat out a lot. A lot. This is by far the best brunch we have eaten. Everything was praiseworthy even down to the English muffin. My husband declared his Canadian bacon the best he has ever had. My hash was the best, my daughters pancakes the best, my sons breakfast burrito the best. The owner Ronnie and attentive, friendly staff add to the experience as well as the lovely outdoor area to enjoy on a beautiful day. read more

A lovely lunch spot after our hike today! The outside garden area was so pretty!! I loved looking around. The menu was breakfast and lite lunch and it had good basic options. My chicken wrap was lite and delicious, they even have me a half salad that wasn't on the menu. My son love smelling all the flowers as we left. Inside had a bbq/saloon vibe that was super cute and too. I would def com back! read more

I highly recommend the New Moon. The staff is great, the food is great and the prices are reasonable.

Breakfast fajita always hits the spot! I got it with sausage AND bacon! Biscuits and gravy never disappoints and that's just on the brunch menu, i highly recommend the brisket sandwich or any of the taco choices! read more

Good food. Very friendly. Nice for a leisurely dinner. Sometimes it a wait for your order but definitely worth it!

Really nice bar/restaurant. Owner Ronnie makes the rounds daily. Such an interesting and cool guy! Food is ample and good. Specials offered throughout the week. Casual with great outdoor seating. Hamburgers are a must try. read more

My husband and I stopped in here for brunch and it was such a lovely experience. All employees were very kind and welcoming and when we sat outside the owner Ronnie was there reading the paper and introduced himself to us and was very sweet and pleasant to chat with. He had told us how he laid the brick that we were on many years ago. Such a kind gentleman. Then the food was AMAZINGGGGGG so delicious and you can tell they really put love into that food. I will not forget it. My husbands steak was SOOOO GOOOD. and my shrimp n grits was absolutely packed with flavors. So good. You wont regret your dining experience. The outside is also absolutely gorgeous with its garden and seating all around. Loved this place!! read more

New Moon Cafe - Shrimp n Cajun Shrimp N' Grits with Eggs Steak 'n' Eggs-As-You-Like'm - Barbeque Near Me - East Quogue, New York

The food is absolute slop and overpriced to boot. My brisket sandwich was gross and the sauce was not even close to a bbq sauce. More like a salsa with sugar added. I'll give it one star for the nice serenade from the country singer. read more

Super cute texan themed restaurant in the heart of Quoge family owned and operated. The exterior of the restaurant is kind of misleading to the insides western Texas decor, but they have a super sweet patio alongside a garden and barn (perfect photo ops on bright summer days in the Hamptons!). The inside is a bar with seating, but you forget you're in a bar. I went for Mother's Day brunch. The restaurant is very accommodating and we were able to make a reservation a few days in advance. We were a party of 6 and we all absolutely loved our food, our empty dishes even proved it. The flavor combos for breakfast are right up my alley, a mix of fun and fruity French toast to brisket hash with all the regulars in between. All the portions are really big and priced very well. I would come back for lunch and dinner & hope to try soon. The owner was super friendly and introduced himself personally when we walked in and even ran out behind us to thank us for our business when we were leaving. The whole vibe of the restaurant was really nice - good food, good service & welcoming owner. You can tell they cherish their customers, summer folk and not. It's not one of those Hampton restaurants after the summer money and I wish them the best. read more

The food was subpar with the combination kabob being 38 dollars with it having a 5 oz piece of meat, 3 little shrimps on the kebab with oversized vegetables half grilled, 2 small pieces of chicken and un seasoned boiled vegetables. Over all the food was trash for the amount of money you are spending, I do not recommend getting anything that Mexican there. I would eat Taco Bell and call that Mexican food before I eat here again. read more

Another great visit to the New Moon on Taco Night. Busy, waited for an outside table for about 10 minutes. Loved the renovations outside, new patio, games for the kids, tables spaced. Servers were super attentive while being extremely busy. Ronnie (owner) sat and talked with us for about 15 minutes, much appreciated he took the time. Very happy they are doing so well! And yes, loved the tacos! Keep it going! read more

Amazing place with a family atmosphere. We showed up on Rons birthday and was treated like family even though it was out first time there. Will definitely not be our last! read more

Just average food. We were the first customers of the evening. My burger came with lettuce tomato and onion obviously leftover from the prior day. Not a good practice. The food itself was good/fair. Brisket was meh. Perhaps I'm spoiled from being used to going to Texas? We might be back, but there's plenty of other places to try before... read more

A hidden gem! This is one of our best finds in the Hamptons. On Montauk Hgwy passing thru East Quogue, this cozy, rustic resturant is family owned and run. The food is wonderful and prepared with care and love. Beautifully plated and presented, and most of all, delicious. Breakfast and lunch and dinner have all been great meals. A relaxed, comfortable and cozy environment for great home cooked food. Find it, you will not be sorry. read more

I love to travel. I also love to find places to eat and drink like the new moon cafe. I can't eat at Applebee's, outback, etc.... I love the independent places. When somebody has a personal interest and investment in their establishment it shows. I have been here several times. Loved it every time. The jalapeño poppers are my favorite. Homemade.

I loved this place. It is also dog friendly and has a nice garden to view while you eat.

It's my first time at New Moon Café. I tried the weekend lunch special. I ordered the Southwest Burrito Bowl with Grilled Chicken.  It's $16 plus tax. Everyone was VERY nice. The price seemed a little high, I can get a chicken burrito bowl for $10-$12. This was $16 and was the lunch portion. (Dinner cost more but you get more). The portion was a little small for the price, but a decent size. What more than made up for the slightly higher price and slightly smaller portions, is the flavor. The bean had a sweet maple flavor, the diced onion, tomato, corn had a vinegary flavor, chicken, rice, radishes, avocado, all balanced out the flavor nicely. All and all a pleasurable experience. I would like to come back to try some of the dinner menu items. read more

Great food, atmosphere, service, outdoor space, etc. What more is there to say?! Cheers New Moon Cafe!

****Fun Barbeque, Tasty skewers with yummy dipping sauce... flavor flavor flavor. *****Desserts.. HOME- MADE. The whipped cream, the chocolate sauce.. the chocolate cake, bananna cream pie.. others.. all homemade. ****Homeade Soups - Creative and good. This family is in the restaurant business for 30 years.. but they are restauranteurs.. they love what they do.. Its a sleepy little place with a few loyal bar customers.. and its gets quiet off season during the week or Sundays... they have nice prix fixes with creative soups. nmcafe.com is their website.. its cute. read more

Outstanding food and service! This establishment is a keystone for the hamlet of East Quogue. A high quality restaurant to gather with friends and family. Connect with neighbors here. This authentic Tex-Mex food is delicious! The menu accurately matches the establishment. Believe me when I say this: everything New Moon Cafe serves is scrumptious! The Campseys are welcoming and diligent to their service to the community and this Nation. read more

All is excellent here and suggested by Alston as really good choice. Having Banana Creme Pie to start, sparkling water, BBQ Brisket main. Pie is excellent and similar to what my Mom made back in the days when. So this is an old divey place apparently long time here. I like. All was really good, solid, home like foods. No complaints. read more

Sometimes you get a craving for the simplest meal, tonight it was a cheese burger. New Moon Cafe served up the most delicious and perfectly prepared burger I have had in a really long time. I always enjoy my meals and service here at one of the oldest restaurants in the Hampton's but had to give tonight a rave review. read more

This is the best food I've ever had. Ron is the greatest. We came back twice in 12 hours. We love it!!

wait staff was ok and fairly attentive. music was good, but loud when seated near them, so hard to talk and hear each other, most importantly the food was real bad. steaks overcooked, chicken was terrible, and most of us did not finish or even eat our meals. drinks watery, and they charge an additional 3% to use a credit card, and don't tell you until you get the bill. do not recommend read more
