Pink going here for gear since I was little such great I was in Montauk once and I was starving so I got a burger and fries so inexpensive and great. Feels like family owned. They treat you like family. read more

The chicken nuggets are very good. Better than every fast food place I've been to ever.

The food is very good, the fries taste as if grandma and grandpa were chewing tobacco in the yard peeling potatoes talking about w/they were young and the ambience is old times Happy Days " ayeeee, it's an old staple in Montauk but it's never changed the taste and the kindness and cleanliness of the establishment. Service is always good and handed with a smile. read more

The Munch Box - Burgers Near Me - Montauk, New York

One of my fave chicken fingers (in Montauk and elsewhere). Very old school, cash only. The interior hasn't changed in YEARS. Staff always friendly - can take a little while depending on your order but they are making it to order. You can sit inside or take it to go - beach, pool, back to where you're staying, even the brewery. read more

Small dive joint. Definitely a throwback to the old days as the place looks old. But Great fried chicken and fries , and great grilled chicken sandwich. Cash only and prices were reasonable. Very nice staff and you can tell they have been there for years. Good staple to go to. Next time, gotta try the seafood. Support small businesses. read more

Food was okay. Way over priced. Cash only. We paid 30.00 for 6 mozzarella sticks an order of fries a soda and a tea

The place isn't much to look at. I have been eating this chicken every time I am in Montauk for at least 20 years. I often make a special trip just to get what my family and friends call "Montauk Chicken". read more

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. read more

The Munch Box - Cheeseburger Platter - Burgers Near Me - Montauk, New York

Love love love this place! I am a first time visitor to the Hamptons. I was so grateful to find a place with good food- that my kids loved- for a good price!!! The fried chicken and fish were fresh and very good! My picky ten year old even said these are the "best fries she has ever had"!!!! read more

This isn't my type of fried chicken. Maybe there are other menu items that are good, but my chicken was over cooked and lacked flavor. It honestly tasted like old chicken. However, the fries were pretty good. read more

Went with Chicken Fingers and Popcorn Shrimp. Little disappointed with the portion size of the fingers, but they were above-average. The shrimp were more plentiful and flavorful. Slightly more expensive than what I was expecting from the exterior. Still, a solid spot if you're looking for some quick grub. read more

They have been in Montauk forever for a reason. Great food. Great business hours. Chicken and fries are great. Gyros too

I come here every time I am in town and I am never disappointed. The food is always served hot and extremely delicious. It is cash only due to Covid I presume but that is no issue. Seating area is closed inside except for two tables widely spaced apart. Safety measures are being followed. 10/10 can not wait to be back! read more

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...

Went here after watching the fireworks. My boyfriend purchased drinks for my sister, himself & I. He was allowed to go to the bathroom as well as another lady but my sister & I denied by unfriendly staff. Then one of the female employees had a staring problem and wouldn't stop looking at us as we got into the car. Like sorry we are mad you discriminated against my sister & I and wouldn't let us use the bathroom when you let my boyfriend & a random lady go ? LOL. read more

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

It was really nice and clean, I grabbed Fish and Chips. Pretty small portion but nonetheless the taste was really great. It's a simple place and really old school looking which really fit my style. The customer service was really good and parking is available near by, so you can eat practically anywhere. Such a nice atmosphere and great place to grab a quick bite. read more

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! read more

Great place to get fried clams and fries ! I have been here twice and the prices are very affordable and you get great value. read more

Very, very greasy. The food is borderline OK. I wanted to try the fried chicken but went there on a Wednesday and the place was closed! Why would a restaurant in a summer destination like Montauk, be closed any day during the summer? read more

Great great cheeseburgers. Whenever l'm in Montauk l stop by here for one. Place is cash only so l always make sure to save some cash for Munch Box. read more

Great name / t-shirt for a lowbrow laugh. Food, well.... reminded me of grade school cafeteria food. Boiled hamburger with unmelted cheese. Fantastic people watching though -- I mean the girl passed out in the booth next to us looked like she enjoyed herself. Perhaps if I too had gone to the Sloppy Tuna around the corner first....for 4 hours.... read more

Omg the food here is amazing. They are known for their fried chicken. I recommend the clam strips.

Ok place to come for lunch in Montauk. It's very low key and no frills at all. They serve burgers, chicken tenders, fried flounder, shrimp and anything else fried. The real star is their fried chicken which is why you come here. Good, not great but not greasy either. Biggest let down are the buffalo wings. Came dry with no buffalo sauce! Technically not buffalo wings. The staff is friendly and this is probably the least expensive place to eat in town. Give it a shot if you like a good fried chicken. read more

So, I have a confession to make that will make a lot of people who eat meat cringe. I effing HATE fried chicken. Which, apparently, is the only thing they get right here. The salad was overchopped without being a chopped salad. My burger was shaped like a doughnut (I wanted that missing piece, thanks very much and wtf), overcooked to near inedibility (even for people who like a well done burger), lacking flavor, crumbling, thin, disgusting. Fries were crisp and perfectly cooked but lacking flavor. (I had to COVER them with salt.) Biscuits weren't biscuits at all. Cheap, and everyone else LOVED their fried chicken, so skip everything else and head straight for that if you eat here. read more

Decent fried food. Less wait than John's Drive In but possibly a touch more expensive. Amazing name and killer t-shirts. Good fries, fried clams; fried chicken is alright but didn't blow my mind. read more

I wish I could this place a 0 star. Food was frozen and just refried up. Fried clams was terrible, fried flounder sandwich was terrible, Buffalo wings was missing the Buffalo andddd it was Costco wings lol. This place is overpriced and not good period!!! Stay away!! read more

This place should close. What a seafood scam. I got the $18.00 seafood dinner. Everuthing was frozen crap. The shrimp are the frozen butterfly stuff, the scallops were frozen, the clam strip were tasteless overcooked like rubber. The fish was a small filet frozen as well. The best part tbe fries. With all the seafood slurces here in Montauk there is absolutely no excuse to serve frozen crap. A sad rip off that is a hidelus attempt to serve it as seafood. Sad sad sad. They claim to have the best fried chicken in Montauk. If the seafood is any indication of the chicken quality. Surely its pure crap as the seafood joke is too. I am a chef by hobby been to culinary school. I cook incredible seafood, fried, broiled, baked. Oh btw about 20 min later I up chucked this trash. Only one one guarantee you will get pure crap. Ownership how can u be so calus and scammy to mislead good folks that just want to payronize your business. Get it together or close it down. Very disappointed and poed that I got ripped off for $20. Don't go, don't go, don't go!! read more

I see this place has been rated with 4 and 5 stars - why anyone would rate it that high is beyond me. Its a little dive with a very limited menu and way overpriced for what they serve. All of their food is grocery store quality. The meats are straight out of a box of mystery meat patties from the freezer at the supermarket and the breads are right out of the standard grocery store bag of 12 rolls. Me and my wife spent $25 for one drink (no refills) one small fries and a backyard BBQ quality burger and chicken patty sandwich. The other reviews make it sound like it is some kind of restaurant. It's a counter order place and your food comes out on a cafeteria tray. And it's cash only. It was clean and the food wasn't bad or anything, but 25 bucks for this food in this kind of place is a disgusting ripoff. These kinds of places are ruining Montauk as a destination for anyone. Will not return. read more

Consider this a two star review if you don't like fried food, as you would be poorly catered-to here. If, however, you like simple fried dishes (and I mean bare bones), they have some very tasty fish and chicken to be had. Imagine if you went to a steakhouse, and they made great steaks, but all the sides and alternative entrees were... meh. I get that the simplicity is part of the appeal, but the prices on roughly half the menu are a bit too high for what's offered. They either need to cut prices or kick up the complexity of the dishes. Give more bang for the buck, and you'd have a great little fry place here. read more

OK, so we're in Montauk, and need a place to eat some lunch. Not being the fancy type, the fam decides to get takeout from a whole in the wall fast food joint, and let me tell ya, it was phenomenal. We got fried chicken, which was just the right amount of crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The pieces were large and full of delicious flavor. The frnch fries were standard, nothing special, but nice and crispy as well. The only complain I have is with the burgers, which i didnt eat, but my fiance did and she said it was no good. Overall though, an excellent, cheap lunch. read more

Just a little upset that I was denied access to the restroom today. I've been coming here for a couple of years. I really like the seafood but this has me second guessing paying $15 for lunch and I can't even use the restroom. read more

Love the mini tacos from this place. They are fantastic. I am also a big fan of their chicken gyros and fried scallops. The people who work there are really great as well. read more

Fantastic fried chicken. Crispy outer coating covers moist, juicy chicken. Both white and dark meats are fantastic. Fast service, our food was on the counter within a minute or two of paying. Low frills - few tables, couple chairs, cash only. Lots of other offerings - burgers, seafood, etc. - but we focused on the outstanding fried chicken. read more

The service was friendly but a bit inattentive the food just lacked any flavor. I ordered the chicken gyro with fries and cole slaw . Fries were ok. The cole slaw tastes too vinegary and the gyro was just horrible. The Taziki sauce was very bland it tastes like just plain Greek yogurt. And the chicken gyro meat was rather dry . read more

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

We did take-out and ordered fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, sweet potato fries, and a grilled chicken sandwich. Everything was A-OK. Facility is clean. Food was so-so (chicken was kind of dry, but not too greasy). Staff was friendly and accommodating. It was a bit over-priced IMHO. It's a decent pit stop for fast food. read more

Fried chicken is pretty good. Not much else to speak of on the menu. Good if you're craving it and don't want to have to drive all the way back to the city before quenching those desires. read more

Forget about it! This place is so expensive for what you get. It's a lil shit box that charges way too much for fast food. Food was ok but not worth the money. read more
