Talk about a hidden gem. One of the best little finds in Montauk. Crab corn chowder was delish and so were the fish and chips. Get a painkiller too! read more

My brother and I were on a nostalgia tour of Montauk, and ended up here after walking around Gosman's Dock. We had wanted to go to what's now Mary Lou's but used to be a restaurant we went to all the time on family vacations. The security guards and swarms of influencers in sparkly dresses and cowboy boots made us quickly realize this wouldn't be an option for dinner. We started walking back toward Gosman's and noticed The Dock tucked away on a side street. We decided to grab a drink at the bar and regroup on next steps. The ambiance here is very casual, its a busy spot with a large indoor bar and a handful of indoor and outdoor tables. Our bartender was a master at tending to the rush and took care of us quickly. While we were deciding what to do next, we made conversation with a local Gosman's fish monger who let us know the food here was worth staying for, and even went as far as to ask one of the staff members for the name of what the restaurant next door used to be for us as we were trying hard to remember. I'm so glad we stayed, because the food was really on point here. Clam chowder was hearty and had plenty of clams. Their steamed clams were incredible, fresh and packed with lots of chopped garlic in a broth that you'll want to drink. The star of the show here is the tuna melt: a giant fresh tuna steak served on an English muffin with cheese and some of the best fries I've had at a restaurant in ages. Glad to have made another core memory here in Montauk at The Dock. read more

Good food at reasonable prices and great service by hard working locals. The Dock has a huge local following as well as many visitors from upisland and NYC. Did not see any Brooklyn hipsters on my visits. read more

Absolute no frills, dive bar, casual and comfortable. There isn't any fancy, pretty ambiance here, but casual and easy. Very friendly service, you feel at home. The food.. some of the best in town. Made perfectly, fresh and delicious. Ate every bite, including the fresh homemade carrot cake. Sometimes it's best to skip the pretty places and opt for a place that does it right. read more

Not dog-friendly at all. Don't come here, even if you have a service dog. Their window sign says "No screaming kids," yet there were still children running around and yelling. They should probably update the sign to also say "No service dogs." On top of that, many of the items listed on the menu were no longer available. Total waste of time coming here. We waited 30 minutes in the cold only to be told we couldn't eat inside or even out on the patio. read more

The Dock - No services dog - Seafood Near Me - Montauk, New York

We sat outside after about a 30 minute wait, but no complaints it's worth the wait and more! The service was attentive and professional you can tell these are career servers they move like a well oiled machine. Now onto the food, the Jalapeño poppers are 11/10 I would come back just for those. The special fish sandwich was very fresh, light and well done. The mahi mahi bites were breaded and had a buffalo wing vibe but a very generous portion. The nachos were great and the mozzarella sticks were solid. This place has a great local small town vibe and the food is spectacular. read more

Casual atmosphere with great ambiance. Have eaten here a few times over the last couple years and always walk away satisfied. On the weekends in the summer, expect a wait during peak times. We usually try to get there early and rarely have to wait more than a few minutes. read more

The food was great. We got fish burrito and fresh grilled tuna. Fantastic. The service was spotty. The server was rushed though the restaurant wasn't very busy. The table outside was cramped and very uncomfortable. We ate as quickly as possible to get out of there. At least, the food was good. read more

Super solid spot! I love the Phony Negroni. So nice to see non- alcoholic options like that at a divey place. I've had it before and made me so happy to cool off with a mocktail after a hot beach day. Clam chowder and fried calamari were great to start. And the soft shell crab sandwich was really tasty too. The sauce it came with complemented the deep fried crab very nicely. I enjoyed dinner here. The only thing is that it's pricey! $150 for 2 people including tip read more

Fresh and delicious food located in a local bar. Highly recommend for great food in a casual setting.

Stumbled onto this place due to the parking lot being full. Always a good sign when it's crowded with local people. Staff was very friendly and efficient. The place was busy but only had to wait a bit for a table. Food was excellent and generous portions. We shared huge and delicious kale Caesar salad, baked clams and horseradish cod. Everything is homemade. We will probably be back again before we leave. Only recommendation for improvement was the wine selection was very limited and what was offered wasn't great. That said, this was definitely a beer-drinking establishment. read more

I love this place: food is great and the fish is always so fresh!! Staff are all experienced and kind. Vibes are great and food is not too expensive! read more

Great food, casual attire, reasonable pricing. The decor is this crazy all over the place collection of really cool stuff. If you want the stuffy Hampton vibe, go somewhere else... don't worry they would probably prefer you go elsewhere. Personally I love the vibe. It's a great local spot with good people who don't want to be bothered with all the fancy shit. read more

Great rustic feel, hometown feel, great food!, We went on a rainy day, but it was a great spot for lunch even in the rain!

Love this little hole in the wall. Yummy lobster grilled cheese and staff that makes sense you feel right at home read more

My husband and I sat at the bar and enjoyed a few drinks. We shared a zucchini chips and a tuna melt which were phenomenal! The place rapidly filled up with what seemed like many regulars. If you enjoy a dimly lit bar with fabulous food, this is your place! read more

I always loved this place. I loved the food there. This time the food was terrible. Two specials, tuna salad open face on an English muffin and shrimp with baked clam stuffing were awful. The really bad part is the service was very slow and the servers were walking around like they were at the beach. We had to wait approx 1 hour for our entrees! What happened to the mature woman who always served so efficiently there? I guess I'll have to find another place to love out there. read more

Don't order the tuna, they cooked mine dry, I asked for it to be pink inside. I asked for a drink and they must of forgot.

So good to be in montauk for another season at my favorite place. Thank you dock for never disappointing best local seafood

May look like a fisherman's bar/pub on the outside, but inside the food is beyond exceptional. The mahi bites appetizer is spectacular, as are their mahi tacos. Great chowder, salads and daily specials. Go for lunch! Also, amusing decor everywhere you look. read more

Great divey vibe, decent food and service, but a little mixed on both. Prices were pretty good...little cheaper than alternatives. One thing that is a little confusing if you haven't been is that there seem to be too menus. The standard, permanent food, which looks a lot like what is offered elsewhere. But there is also a hand-written menu--maybe a daily menu?--that has more gourmet offerings. We ordered from both menus, and the baked clams from the standard menu were a favorite of mine, so no shade on that menu. I also had a [summer] corn and crab chowder from the handwritten menu that was great. As for missteps, I had a soft shell sandwich--which I know isn't local, but I love softshell--that tasted not fresh and potentially thawed from frozen. Also, our server totally disappeared at the end of our meal. I finally hunted her down to find her eating dinner at the back of the bar. People need breaks, but would have expected someone else to cover. I'd still recommend though. read more

Love the fresh food, the decor, the local vibe, the policy against cell phone usage. The great music collection is so old it lasted until vinyl made a comeback. I'd give 6 stars if they'd bring back "the Elvis". read more

Love this place. A real seafood. joint. Great food & Great service. I would highly recommend it. It's well worth the trip either by car or by boat read more

The Dock has some divey goodness going on here. I would come for a large order of mussels with a Guinness and be a happy man, but their other food is tasty too. The interior is all dark wood, with little kitschy signs, pictures, taxidermy, etc..all around. This place is a salty dog with attitude. I dig it, I feel right at home. The wait staff helps with that for sure - fast moving, friendly faces, no attitudes. We asked about the baked clams before we ordered because my mom likes chopped clams, which is how they come. The flavor is good, but really all breading. If you prefer whole clams get the casino version. Fried oysters were a special - they seems to flatten them out a bit, but I've had better, juicier ones elsewhere. Crab cake sandwich was very good if that's your thing - it came on its own (no fries or side), which made it seem lonely. As mentioned in the beginning the Mussels was the star dish I tried - white wine, butter, so much garlic it looks like snow and parsley bathes these plump beauties. Get extra bread to soak up all that goodness, or be totally ridiculous and use the provided spoon to slurp up the juices (I was tempted!) read more

FYI they don't allow dogs outside. Manger or host was extremely rude. Don't bother. Espresso martini was eh. The bathroom was a mess

Been coming here for many years. I've never had a bad meal. The food is consistently fresh and prepared well. The service is always really good too. I highly recommend. read more

Literally chefs kiss! Food was amazing! We got the lobster bisque...huge chunks of lobster for $12! The special mixed salad was melt in your mouth! Everything blended so well and the dressing was surprising! We also got the Rare crusted Tuna with mango salsa jalapeños and seaweed salad . Such an amazing combination. Atmosphere is super cool we left happy read more

Love this place !! The whole vibe is so awesome. Cool stuff decorate the place so you always see something new. Staff is super friendly and our waitress was really nice and on it. The red chowder was really really good and fresh. The hot dogs were insanely good piled with all kinds of stuff you can choose from. The mussels were incredible and the broth was great for dipping the rustic bread they serve. Everything we got was delicious. Love this old school Montauk spot !!! read more

Came to this place on a whim after looking at reviews for a dinner place in Montauk. We arrived and ordered at 5pm on a Sunday night, and took seats outside. There were a couple of other people already sitting, and more showed up as we were eating. The restaurant is near Lake Montauk, and there is a pier with fishing boats located nearby. They had a chalkboard menu up at the window, and we ordered and paid at the register before taking seats outside. We weren't required to wear our masks if we were sitting in our seats, but the staff wore masks at all times. We didn't have to wait long for our food. It was served within 20 minutes of ordering, in little cardboard containers, with plastic utensils. The mussels were in a very simple garlic, parsley and wine sauce. It was delicious despite its simplicity, and the mussels were fresh. My husband's fish sandwich looked very plain when it came out, but he confirmed after taking a bite that it was great. The fish was fresh, crumbed and perfectly cooked. It was served with a homemade tartare sauce on the side. The service was attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend this place. read more

Way overpriced but great patio. Good service and nice drink menu. Crab cake app was 2 small cakes for $22. Tasty and full of crab but undercooked inside. Waffle fries were the best deal, huge plate and perfectly cooked. Musician made it worth it. read more

This place seemed great! We didn't get to stay long but it's a funky dive bar set among the boats next to a dock and has both food and drinks available. We had much more service than I am used to at a dive bar but we stopped in on a bachelorette weekend and it was nice to chill for a bit! read more

Whether or not you like Gosman's Dock depends on what you're looking for. Is it overbuilt, touristy, and overpriced? Yes. However - this area includes one of the few remaining large-scale commercial fishing docks on Long Island. You could argue that overfishing and resource exploitation killed the fishing industry, and good riddance, we shouldn't be eating animals anyway. All right, though I'm not in that camp. You could also argue that living within ecosystems does allow for sustainable resource management, and sorry, there are still plenty of people who love to eat fresh fish (hi!) Point is, commercial fishermen are a dying breed (Downeaster Alexa, anyone?), but this dock still stands, and everyone visiting Montauk should check it out. You don't need to eat the meh lobster roll (but you could, and it's tasty), or buy the overpriced t-shirt (they're even pricier up-island, so ...) but you do at least need to visit the docks and see what real fishing boats look like. And c'mon, if you don't spend any money, did you really just drive up here to look at the boats? Buy an ice cream or something for Pete's sake. Kidding aside, enjoy - Montauk's docks give it an authenticity that the Hamptons can't come close to matching. read more

Always great service always great food. Perfect vibe for Montauk. Wish Montauk had more places like this.

It was our date night on a chilly Thursday in August. The food was delicious but that's not the point. In the table next to us there was a spoiled loud toddler crying for chicken fingers. Chances for a happy ending were fast waning. Then, our knight in shining armor / long haired server named John, saved the day. He shot the offending family a look of steel, and made them flee the science in a true Montauk minute. Thank you John for saving our date night. As a side note I have to say that the d"mom dropped on me at Ditch earlier today. It's payback Time Karen! read more

Excellent seafood, the mussels is a must try.....Highly recommend...Dive bar. Montauk best comfort food.
