We met friends at this bustling restaurant in Southampton. The crowd was lively. Our waitress was nice. The cocktails were excellent. After a lag, we were served some warm bread. There' was a prix fixe menu with 3 courses for $46. It was a great deal. The food was uniformly excellent. I had potato leek soup and locally caught stuffed flounder. My wife had great shrimp scampi. Our friends had a smash burger and chicken schnitzel. We all had a bite of my brownie à la mode for dessert. There were a couple of minor service miscues. Most notably, my wife's entree was served 5 minutes after the others and there was a misunderstanding about one of the desserts. Overall a really good restaurant- would be happy to return. 4.5 stars. read more

I came here the other day for my birthday with my father. We went for a Sunday brunch, which was really nice. They have a bar area, and also a beer garden. The staff is all very friendly and attentive. Luckily when we went, it wasn't very busy. I ordered myself a mimosa, which was nice. For the main dish I ordered the veal schnitzel sandwich. My dad ordered the Ruben. The sandwich that I got was so good. The bread, the meat all the toppings. Totally worth it. The french fries you can taste are very fresh. You can tell that they make them in house. They're not greasy. My dad said his Reuben was really good as well. The corn beef was amazing. I would like to come again and try the beer garden. read more

Shippy's Restaurant - Southampton - Veal Schnitzel Sandwich - German Near Me - Southampton, New York

Great dinner enjoyed ! The roast chicken was melt in the mouth yummy. I dashed in solo for a late quick dinner and was well cared for.

Arielle and kelly are the most incredible bartenders! Supporting staff are also so sweet and kind. Shippys hires the best ! read more

A relaxed and welcoming burger and sandwich , more casual than other eateries in the area. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service, making the whole experience very pleasant. Beyond the burgers, Shippy's boasts a great happy hour with some attractive specials. The bar itself is comfortable and inviting, perfect for a casual drink or a more extended visit. The overall atmosphere is far more laid-back than many of its competitors, creating a genuinely enjoyable and unpretentious dining experience. I highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for a tasty burger or Ruben. read more

I've been coming to Shippy's for awhile now and this was my first visit back after the remodel. The place looks great and there's an outdoor beer garden now. I had reservations for 1 PM and we arrived at 12:50 PM. The hostess at the front says she can seat us and points to a front table at the windows. The entire restaurant was empty inside at this point with a few people at the bar, most were sitting outside. We asked can we sit further back. She tells us we would have to wait ten minutes. I was confused as again the indoor tables were empty. We say ok, one of us went to the bathroom as I waited. She then tells me to go wait at the bar( seems to be annoyed I am waiting even though she told me to wait). Fine, I went to the bar and decided to STAY at the bar and eat. The bartender COULD not be NICER and accommodating! Drinks were delish. Now, tbh we almost left after the hostess thing. She also didn't tell us there was a different menu outside. That may sway your choice when choosing which area to eat. Shippy's has changed the menu to only brunch on weekends and lunch is only midweek just as a head's up. I miss the turkey club and that's the reason I went, so if you are looking for the old lunch menu on the weekend, it is no longer available. Again, thank you to the bartender for being so nice. PS bring back the turkey club for brunch:) read more

Nice environment. Staff was friendly. One hour 15 minutes later and still no food. Service was awful. I would've left but was there as a guest. The chowder was actually good. Maybe they just had a bad day. read more

It's hard to choose a place to eat in Southampton. There are so many options within walking distance and all of them are on the expensive side, so you really want to choose right if you're spending the money to eat here. After looking at a bunch of options we decided on Shippy's. There's just something cozy the atmosphere of this place that makes it more approachable than other options in the area, plus it's been here forever so it has staying power. We arrived early on a Friday night without a reservation and were still able to be seated inside. I ordered a cocktail off the menu that was basically a Moscow mule with tequila, and it hit just right. Looking around at what everyone else was eating we decided to go with the wedge salad, mussels and French onion soup as appetizers. The French onion soup was just okay, but the mussels and wedge salad were stand outs. I loved the crispy onions on top, and the mussel sauce was so creamy. We decided on veal schnitzel and the sizzling steak (which literally comes out sizzling) for our mains, and they were outstanding as well. The sauerkraut and potatoes that come with the schnitzel go so well together, and the steak was cooked perfectly rare (even with it still sizzling on its arrival). If you're in the area and aren't sure where to eat you really can't go wrong at Shippy's. read more

Easter Sunday had the roasted leg of lamb and the carrot cake for dessert. Delicious. Service on point!

Brunch 4 days a week until 3 p.m. ?!!! Locals till work for a living and want the full lunch menu. And the Reuben was dry and with a dearth of corned beef, which was paper thin. Nice staff and a good beer selection though. Highly recommend the fried mushrooms. But get it as a main read more

Hostess didn't want to seat us in a quiet booth (we had an elderly person with us) because of the "sections ". Ordered the smashburger with 1 patty and I was still charged the $22 (or whatever the price is) and was never told that I would be charged the whole price (I've ordered that way before and was charged $10). Veal schnitzel sandwich was almost too dry to eat . This place has gone downhill so far and so fast! read more

Hello yelpers! This is my first time here at Shippy's restaurant and I must tell you, we had an awesome experience. We came down tonight to listen to the live music of Monica, and had an awesome dinner. For starters, we had the lobster bisque soup (very creamy, buttery and full of sweet lobster that was so tender) and we split the wedge salad which was loaded with bacon, fried onions and blue cheese! For dinner, my wife had the delicious veggie burger and I had the smash burger! Both were amazing! The ambiance at shippy's is truly amazing! The place is decorated so nicely with subway tiles on the wall and panels. There are booths to sit at or tables along an open wall. In the back of the restaurant, there are 2 oversized semicircle booths. The place was great and I look forward to returning. read more

Been a few years since we ate here. Last night we both had sauerbraten.. meat tender and tasty BUT NO DUMPLINGS!! That was a disappointment having mashed potatoes instead. Service by Theresa and everyone was very pleasant. The bar still a great meeting place. My glass of Malbec and Wednesdays 20% off for Shelter Islanders. Mary Anne read more

Went to Shippy's for the first time a couple nights ago with a group of 4. The atmosphere was really cute and lively, didn't feel like we were in the Hamptons. Much more of a New England casual feel than the typical Hamptons restaurant, but I liked it. We started sat outside but it began to rain and they quickly accommodated everyone who wanted to move inside with ease. However our food took about 2 hours to arrive which was insane and we didn't fully realize cause we were chatting but nevertheless that's absurd. The waitress was also very rude, she screamed at the hostess right in front of our table and then proceeded to not address us and just rudely stroll past. The food was good, we got the baked clams, fried chicken sandwich, and the smash burger. All were very good actually and comforting; again food that is definitely lacking out here. Overall the food was good but the service was not, hoping it was a one off experience but I most likely would not return. read more

We had a 6pm reservation, but when we arrived, the hostess and "manager" couldn't find it, even after I showed proof. It was hard to shake the feeling that we were immediately profiled when we walked in. After an awkward delay, we were seated but told booths were only for larger parties. Not even 15 minutes later, another couple (who seemed to fit the restaurant's "criteria") was seated in a booth right across from us. To add salt to injury, the manager came over mid meal to let us know he mysteriously found the reservation. Only after all the booths were full. Thankfully, our waitress was absolutely wonderful and professional. The food was great too, which made it even more disappointing that the first impression left such a bad taste. This could have been a five-star experience if not for the way we were treated upon arrival. read more

I hadn't been there in a few years and didn't know it had been sold. The food I chose was no where like the meal I had before there. The prices were more than I expected. My chicken wasn't tender. The service was good. I won't return. read more

Soooo good as always!!! From the chowder to the snitchel to the key lime pie!! Everything was delicious!! Service was superb too!!!

Trying to really like this place. The concept is good. The space is also good. They just need to tighten up a few things. Notably the beer: an impressive selection of German beer, but unfortunately, they don't seem to know how to manage, handle, and serve it. Often under carbonated, served in a frosted glass, (which you'll never say in any German establishment) splashed into the glass instead of poured properly, and served in a mishmash of mismatched glasses: you're likely to get a Pilsner in a Weisse class and vice versa...simple things to address. It's just a matter of taking the very good beer selection imported from Germany and managing it properly. read more

We have enjoyed "Shippy's" in its current and past iterations and routinely order their signature Veal Schnitzel - it tne past "augmented" with a fried egg on top! This week promptly ordered Schnitzel and a cocktail. The veal "cutlet" was a profound dissapointment. Advised the courteous server and the Manger of the "tough, tough" texture of the veal. The Manager suggested it had been "pounded" a little too much! Not likely. I took most of the not-eaten veal home, stripped the breadcrumbs and realized a not-so-tender cutlet. "I" pounded and tired to salvage the remains and it simply was not a great cutlet. Will definetly return and be much more cautious with menu selection. Sad as the new owner "John" has done such a masterful job in sustaining this otherwised outstanding eatery! Hope things improve. read more

Visited on Friday May 30th with a reservation for 2 people at 7:15pm. Upon arrival we were told we'd have to wait for "five minutes" for a table. This was fine until we found ourselves waiting for a whooping 34 minutes before we were seated at a table. This was an insane wait time for a table we'd set a reservation for. Additionally, during this, another couple came in after we had been waiting for 15 minutes and greeted the main hostess/manager whom they were clearly friends with. They then received a table BEFORE we were sat down despite their later arrival than us. This clear bias is quite frankly disrespectful and unfair to other customers. We appreciated the male manager's attempt to make up for the time lost through refunding the cheapest dish we ordered. However, the female manager/main hostess's clear disregard for us did not go unnoticed. As returning customers, we were excited to revisit Shippy's. However, this situation put a damper on our experience before it even began. With reference to the food, the clams casino, filet mignon, and mac and cheese were quite tasty. The warm pretzel beer cheese and brownie however were not up to their usual standard. My brownie was quite dry and tasted stale which was unfortunate because It was the reason for our visit as we loved them previously. Based on our previous visit, and the recent visit, my partner and I decided 3 stars reflected our experience. read more

One of the best local spots that stayed true to its vibe! The schnitzel is delicious! And the Bavarian pretzel- bring your appetite!

I placed an order on uber eats. I saw the driver go to Shippys 3x to pick it up- but the food was never ready. Then Shippys cxld my order after waiting for an hour. Shippys had gotten too big and the service and the kitchen can't handle. I had 2 other bad experience in the restaurant- this is my last chance. read more

I've been going to Southampton last few years and was always intrigued by Shippy's from the outside - looked like a very cool vintage pub. Finally got an opportunity to try it and loved the experience. The restaurant has great decor, very comfortable seating on banquettes and nice chairs. Service was very friendly and super good value for the Hamptons. We had an enormous Turkey Club that was fantastic. Also the Pretzel as an App was amazing. Huge and Tasty. They have a $15 daily food special which offers an amazing bargain for the expensive town of Southampton. The bar also looked very nice so I plan on coming back many times in the future. read more

Food is outstanding. It's one of our 'go to's'. Not only do they have a fantastic Ceasar salad, schnitzel, their filet mignon is amazing. Patty, the manager, is phenomenal with her attentiveness and attention to detail. They are lucky to have such an amazing manager. They are expanding and I wish them continued success!!! read more

I've been going to the new Shippy's since the reopening and it keeps getting better. The happy hour food specials rock! The dinner menu has a few deals on there, the shrimp cocktail, shrimp scampi and the NY strip steak. French onion soup is the real deal too. I enjoyed a halibut special last week and was thoroughly impressed. Great enthusiastic service all around. Bravo! read more

We went for lunch last week...first time since the renovation. The place looks great! Love what they've done and it is an inviting, clean space. Compared to how the building looked before, this is an impressive transformation. We had a half dozen oysters, flounder sandwich and a local salad (or whatever they call it) with grilled shrimp. I thought the food was pretty average...a salad is just that, a salad and a flounder sandwich is a Hamptons staple at pretty much every restaurant on the East End. Not bad, but also not the most unique meal I've ever had. From a food perspective alone, I'd have no hesitation on coming back. Portions were substantial and I like to eat a lot so I'm giving a solid thumbs up there. The service sucked. It shouldn't have taken 2 hours to eat lunch when the place was practically empty. When we walked in we were ignored at the hostess stand for a solid 5 minutes but another group walked in behind us as we stood there and were seated immediately. Not sure what that was all about...from the service alone, I would not go back. Slow, unresponsive and uncaring. For what it's worth, my aunt went with friends for dinner the same night we went for lunch. She reported the service was great but the food sucked. My mother reported the food sucked too last time she was there. She said she had the chicken schnitzel special and said it was like shoe leather. Sounds like the got the renovation part nailed down perfectly but food and service they can't get set. read more

Consistently delicious and fresh. Great location. Lunch is our go to - the turkey club is fantastic!

One of the last handful of the original restaurants of Southampton's still thriving and operating in this town! And so happy it is! No clue what these negative nelly reviewers have to complain about. The food is solid and stick to your ribs good, the portions to price ratio is also very balanced plus the waitresses have been there 30-40 years and know their loyal based customer's usual orders over the phone just by hearing their voice. There are old pictures of what the restaurant looked like back in the early days and other fine memorabilia on the walls too. Menu is part German and part Americana but I'm not mad at that at all. Ordered the escargot stuffed into white mushroom caps with delicious generous dollops of toasted minced garlic and butter. The Bavarian combo platter was not too salty at the least bit, the wienerschnitzel a la Holstein came perfectly topped with a fried egg, lovely plump pan seared filets of anchovies and fresh capers. The mashed potatoes was super buttery, the creamed spinach was divine and the saukraut had just the right amount of vinegar fermented kick to keep you coming back for another bite. Loved their lentil and bean soup of the day and I'm usually not a fan of blue cheese dressing at a restaurant but this one was worth licking the plate clean for. Wish I had more space for dessert but that just means we come back for about visit very soon! read more

Ambiance- lovely Service- I sat at the bar during lunch and the woman bartender looked miserable. Food- got the veggie burger which literally fell apart when I picked it up. More like a very sloppy Sloppy Joe. Probably my 4th time here and the food needs big improvements. read more

This was my place. Sadly, post renovation/update, no more. I'm not going to recount my experience in writing because it was that bad. I am editing a 5 star review from 6 years ago to a 1 star review because this place is truly that bad. Everything about it. I've been going to Shippys for nearly 35 years! The new ownership/management has destroyed it. read more

I never like writing a bad review, but felt I had to check in. Not sure if was beacuse of the breakfast/lunch switchover, but went to Shippy's for lunch this Sunday with the family at noon and the visit was not enjoyable at all. I had a feeling things were not going to go well, when I was told that asking fries instead mash potato was "considered a substitution" and not allowed. Really? That is a pretty normal choice at a pub. So I had to order a side of fries as I was in the mood. Anyway, 30 minutes later, no food and the waiter comes out and says "we do not have any mash ready, do you want fries"? At the 45 minute mark, the food finally comes and its cold. We ordered most of their top line up, WURSTPLATTE, VEAL SCHNITZEL, Smashburger and Turkey Club. You would think they would nail this stuff. Mountains of fries on all the plates, plus that side I did not need (they said it was on the house for the wait), lol. Funny thing though was that half the fries were cooked and the other were white like they just had come out the freezer, slightly cooked in the oil and served. You would have thought that the food would have been hot if they were backed up and just running late, but strangely enough it seems like it was sitting around. Cold German sausages and veal cutlet, not great. S hould we have sent it all back?, maybe.. Wait 40 min for food with a hungry guest, you just grin and eat it, right? Anyway, I told the server the food was not worth the wait, "sorry" with a smile and that was that. Nice location, clean bathrooms, etc but not a great showing for eats today. read more
