Came here recently on my last visit to the Isle of Fire. This spot is a bit of a lifesaver!…read more Let's start with the bad...the pricing. Obviously, you're on an island...this is a seasonal business...prices are inflated. That being said, if there's something you need while you're on the island...you'll probably find it here. I stopped in for coffee pods and a toothbrush...it ran me $19 but it is what it is....don't forget your toothbrush if you're going to Fire Island LOL I did see a deli section but wasn't able to order any food due to time constraints...hoping to get a BEC next time around.

Stopped in this morning, and was going to get some fruit, but their selection was pretty meager, so figured I'd wait and go to the Farmers Market today (Thursday) at 9 am. I did pick up a cinnamon roll (pretty good, but very sweet, more like a donut) and a chocolate croissant (not so good; very dense; not flaky). Their website says they are open daily 7 am - 5 pm, but are often open til 8 pm or later. Note: Yelp had listed the place as closed, but it's definitely open. I submitted the change to the Yelp team.

And they're consistently open which doesn't sound like much but there are other places that run on island time. If you're nearby then you'll likely come here for staples but you'll likely hike or bike further if you need proper produce and other things.

So let's just stipulate that the prices are eye-watering and you just need to take that as a given. That aside, the Pantry has all.the.things. Pretty much anything you need to enjoy this Fire Island paradise, from baguettes to fresh veggies to candles to dog treats. The butcher is excellent, so's the fish, and they make great sandwiches and prepared food. We get kinda fancy here in the Pines (I mean, we have tea EVERY DAY haha), so you can find things like artisan pasta sauce, cheeses, and fresh herbs. Generally all of this is delivered by a bunch of friendly folks with ready smiles, so, win-win.

They don't even have shopping baskets anymore, and I see why - there's so little to buy. They are concentrating on deli, pizza, and the like. Which isn't bad, but is pretty slow. Gone is the community market feel that the Whitney's created for so many years. What a loss. I guess everyone is shipping their groceries in to Kismet these days. And I can certainly see why that is necessary.

I have been living in this town for years and I choose to go to the IGA in Amagansett due to the…read morelack of options and quality of produce compared to Amagansett IGA even though that location is not the best either. Living in such a wealthy area on Long Island you would think our grocery stores would be top of the line. That is farthest from the truth. I have been to better grocery stores in much lower income neighborhoods than the ones we have in the Hamptons. I particularly had enough tonight and could not keep this bottled up. I had a late night craving for the white cheddar Cheetos puffs. Every grocery store but the one in my town carries them. I don't ever eat junk food, but I had a desperate craving tonight. They have let me down. I hate that there is mostly self check out now. It is cold and soulless compared to the relationships you build with the people in front of you. My family and I miss the old staff... they were wonderful. Do better Montauk IGA. Bring back normal checkouts instead of this computer BS. Two self check outs stations were enough. Do better on the inventory.

Title: The Human Raincloud of the Montauk IGA…read more I've been shopping at the Montauk IGA for years and can say, without hesitation, that it's usually a shining example of small-town warmth and friendliness. The staff is famously helpful, cheerful, and welcoming -- which is why encountering Dayanara at the checkout feels like suddenly stepping into a thunderstorm in the middle of a sunny day. It's as if her job description reads: "Scowl, sigh heavily, and make customers question all their life choices." She manages to inject rudeness into the most basic exchanges, going out of her way to be curt, unhelpful, and generally unpleasant. If Montauk ever needed a mascot for passive-aggressive hostility, she'd be overqualified. This isn't a case of someone having a bad day -- this is a professional commitment to being a human sandpaper strip. The contrast with the rest of the staff is so stark it's almost performance art. For the sake of the store's otherwise stellar reputation, she should be moved into a role that doesn't involve live humans. Stock room. Night shift. Mars. Anywhere but the checkout lane. IGA Montauk, keep doing what you do best -- just maybe reassign your resident mood assassin before she convinces visitors that "Montauk charm" is a myth.

I've not had a problem finding anything grocery wise here, they usually have all the needs covered. The variety of prepared foods is amazing. They are a great stop if you want something ready, made, and set to heat up/enjoy at home.
