Duryea's Montauk

For anyone who’s left a poor review, it seems they are usually unhappy with long wait times or the price. It’s pretty simple, they don't take reservations, so plan accordingly. And inflation has made everything gone crazy. Is a lobster roll justifiable at $45? Likely not, but it was undeniably delicious and full of flavour. The food was tasty, fries were so great, the ambiance was pleasant, and the views added to the experience. While it might be considered expensive, it's worth remembering, this is the Hamptons – so if prices are an issue, go elsewhere. It's worth noting that it outshines two other lobster establishments nearby.

Lobster roll is the highlight of the menu (Next to the lobster salad which can feed at least 3-4 individuals easily). Lobster meat was fresh , buttery, and had a nice citrus taste and rolls were complimentary (soft and not greasy). Coleslaw wasn’t overly dressed. Sweet potato were standard and seemed unseasoned (no salt, etc). No reservations accepted- come in early If you want to get a table on the deck. Plan to wait at least an hour and half if you do want a table inside. There is a “carry out” or “to go” option around the corner in the store that looks like a coffeehouse towards the south which provides the same food but quicker. There’s a quiet seating area across the parking lot near the lake which can get you away from the inside seating era but still feel “attached” to the restaurant. The waiters were super friendly and gave options to sub items in place of certain sides (IE. Fries instead of sweet potato chips).

A great place to relax and have good food. Its a little isolated but still not far from the center of town. Great views and fresh food. Is it a great place to have dinner? Absolutely! You see the sunset, the ocean breeze ( if it gets chilly, you could ask for a blanket) and the sound of waves while you dine. Great selection of wines and the staff are all (in our experience) friendly and competent. My family had a pleasant experience. I honestly say that the food is expensive but for what you are getting, it was worth the money. And I wouls also like to say they have generous serving so its not like fine dinning where you have just the presentation but I would honestly say an order of steak would be good for 2 individuals, even 3. Even the kids meal has a generous amount of serving, and paired with their delicious fries would satisfy even a hungry adult. But one of the main reason you go here s the ambience, they get really packed and wait time can go up to an hour but its not bad because you can just grab a wine and enjoy the place and view while you wait.

I really enjoyed lunch there. This place has a strong Ibiza vibe. The food was great and perfect for sharing. The lobster roll was outstanding with a generous serving of lobster meat and I couldn’t stop eating the home made sweet potato chips that came with it. It is supposed to be a great spot for sunset but it is usually very packed at that time.

Gorgeous spot on the water, fresh seafood dishes, beautiful people and a little bit of a Hamptons scene. Yes, the food is overpriced, but so is every restaurant in the Hamptons - this is no exception. So know going in that you will be spending a good amount of money for your meal. Another important thing to keep in mind: They are not considered a “full service restaurant”, but a “fish market” sort of business - therefore you will have to go and order/pay for your food at the booth, and then they will bring the food to your table. Don’t expect fine dining service because that is NOT what they are about (even though the prices might make you think otherwise LOL). As long as you go in with these expectations, I guarantee you’ll have a great experience. Lastly, if you are a fan of lobster, their Lobster Cobb Salad is a MUST!

Delicious food, wonderful view. Amazing customer service all around. Everyone is so friendly. One of my favorite places! Special thanks to the managers for being accommodating to me and licensed service dog and for being so kind & giving us a wonderful, shaded table by the water. Thanks for making it a smooth experience for us! Can’t wait to return.
