    Cheeseburger Platter
    Linda K.

    The Munch Box offers reasonably priced fast food, a much needed addition to the generally slowpoke Montauk dining scene. Cash only, no frills place on the Plaza with seating for about 25. I had the cheeseburger platter, a perfectly cooked patty topped with american cheese (my guilty pleasure) along with thick fries, slaw and a big pickle spear. Really hit the spot. Very pleasant owner too. Can't wait to try their fried chicken next visit, looked crispy and fresh.

    Delicious fish! So crispy, flaky and moist!

    Update: OK, so The Munch Box claims to have the "best fried chicken in Montauk"?!!?!? So after having their fish and chips platter(which was utterly delish) we decided to give their fried chicken a try! YUMMMMMM! It was crispy but not oily on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside! Perfection! They live up to their claim!

    The burger made me feel sick and the fries were undercooked and unsalted. It is also crazy overpriced. I will not be going back here...

    Great fried chicken. It took a while from order to be served. Was quite pricey for chicken but then again it is Montauk.

    Food is basic and overpriced. Please avoid this place. It's not "The Best Fried Chicken in Montauk".

    We stopped here on a rainy April day after a hike through Camp Hero. A lot of places weren't open…read moreyet and Hooked got good reviews. Know that there is picnic table seating outdoors on nice days or a pretty big parking lot to enjoy your meal. I'm sure it gets packed during peak summer hours. The portions are huge! For 3 people we ordered lobster bisque, tuna bites, lobster Mac and cheese, a tuna poke bowl, sweet potato fries, and regular fries. Everything is made fresh to order and it was delicious! Literally the best lobster bisque I ever had. And the tuna bites were so unique - fresh tuna, breaded and deep fried. We aren't local but we will be back every time we are on the east end. The owner was also really nice and we wound up talking about camping in the area and things to do during the summer. Super friendly and welcoming!

    Pretty good spot for some local seafood in Montauk! We went during off-season and experienced a bit…read moreof wait, but it wasn't too long! I can only imagine how busy this place gets during the summer. We ordered a lobster roll, fish and chips, and oysters and enjoyed our food on a picnic table outside of the small restaurant. The inside is mostly for ordering and if you wanted to dine there, there were a decent amount of blue picnic tables outside. Food was pretty good, but not the best for the price. Oysters were a bit sandy and the batter of the fish and chips were a bit too thick for my liking, but we were still really appreciative to have a restaurant option with seafood!

    This place makes some top tier sauce! I won some of their sauce in a raffle and had a $100 gift…read morecertificate to try them. I was trying to find a way to go there without having to drive so far just for food. I live an hour away from them, so the travel time is what makes going there a deal breaker consistently. It's worth going to East Hampton generally, but it should be a day thing. Not just to go eat. The person who helped us was very knowledgable and asked good questions in terms of what you'd like for your platter. The food was top quality. Our platters were worth every bit of that gift certificate and I'd love to come around this place again! I also had to buy their sauce on the way back home because we use it for some dinners. My only critiques is regarding the mac and cheese. I wish it was more of a homemade baked mac and cheese with the toasted top. But definitely good mac and cheese nonetheless. The mashed sweet potatoes were definitely too seasoned with all spice. It gave it too much of a kick than I was expecting. I liked the seating inside and outside. If we didn't have bad allergies, would've probably sat outside and enjoyed our meal. Also, this place has their own parking area. So that's definitely a plus!

    This place is so good! I'm generally not a big fan of BBQ because a lot of times meat is the meat…read moreis dry because it was sitting around for a while, not cooked right, not good quality, etc. I for the 3 meat platter that comes with 2 small sides and a piece of cornbread. I got ribs, brisket, BBQ chicken, mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes. I also got an order of the little gem salad. The ribs were some of the best I've had in years. Very juicy, excellent smoky flavor. Tender, perfectly cooked. Brisket was okay when it was warm, but after cooling off a little bit, it got very dry. I'm not a big fan of brisket in general because of how dry and hard the texture can get, but this is okay while fresh. The BBQ sauce on the side helped, but I probably wouldn't get it again here. The BBQ chicken was the most disappointing - just shredded chicken smothered in a ton of sauce. It was very dry, like sticks of matches drowning in sauce. Mashed potatoes were very buttery and delicious, but also retained some chunkiness and skin too, which I really liked. Very flavorful and decadent. Mac and cheese was very good as well, but not the toasty top kind. Still very cheesy and good, like they used real cheese. Cornbread was a surprise hit - very moist and soft, denser than most cornbreads, and a lot sweeter than most cornbreads I've had at BBQ places. It tasted more like a dessert corn cake, which I didn't mind at all. The little gem salad tasted very fresh. Dressing was just okay, and the salmon we got on top was very stinky and did not taste fresh. The skin had a nice crunch to it though. I wish the fish had been fresher. The greens were great, so I might just get it with chicken next time, or something else if they would allow that. Overall, really great food! I would definitely go back here again. It's been a while since I've been to a BBQ place that has really good smokey char flavor without tasting burnt, while still retaining juiciness (in the ribs anyway). I'd highly recommend the ribs, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, salad, and cornbread. I want to try some other items as well. Very friendly service too.
