Tommy the bartender was a sweetheart and made a yummy whisky/lemonade.
We got to meet the phenomenal chef Joshua and I was able to rave to him about the fact that I’ve been obsessing over his smashed potatoes and the BEST Caesar salad I have ever had since I first had them 2 years ago. They were still my favorite and we also tried the Lamburghini’s( lamb sliders w/ aioli), just delicious!
My favorite spot in Montauk!
Don’t miss this spot!

The scallops salad was amazing! The pork empanadas and shack burger were good too. The chefs in The Gig Shack really know how to show off their culinary skills. It’s a little bit pricey, but I think it’s worthwhile to try the delicious food there.

If I could give this place more than 10 stars, I would! The Gig Shack in Montauk is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had — and that’s saying something.
We started with a local greens salad with figs and plums that was fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. The sweet potato, eggplant, and fried leek curry was a rich, comforting masterpiece, and the local sourdough bread with vegan whipped butter was so good we were tempted to ask for a second loaf to take home. Every bite felt both thoughtful and inspired.
The music set the perfect mood, and the entire team was incredibly accommodating to our vegan diet — not just in words, but in execution. The chef and owner personally came out to greet us, making sure we were happy with every part of our meal. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare.
This is a 10/10 restaurant in every way. In fact, if there’s one place in the Hamptons that truly deserves a Michelin star, it’s this one.

Very unassuming restaurant. Looks like a dive bar messed with a local eating spot. I was not expecting such an elevated dining experience. The pricing was pretty affordable. Ate the mussels that came with toasted bread that I dipped back into the sauce -absolutely amazing. Scallops salad was mediocre. The scallops were over salted. The Lamborghini sliders were really solid. The overall surprise was the key lime pie. I am from South Florida and consider myself a key lime aficionado. I was quite surprised at how the custard filling was so smooth and the crust was nutty and right on. They have my seal of approval.

Food was amazing!!! Smashed potatoes, ribs, burger were all so delicious. Margarita was great! My little also enjoyed his grilled cheese and ate every single fry Presentation was great too! I wish we lived here to eat all year round but sadly we’re on vacation. Loved the atmosphere! Sitting outside was so nice. The weather was perfect. Will definitely be coming back to eat here every time we visit MTK!

The Cesar salad is to die for. Absolute perfection. The tuna nachos are also incredible. It’s my favorite place to eat in Montauk!

Convenient place to stop on the way to the lighthouse. Limited & overpriced menu. mussels (~35 pcs) taste good but sauce was just OK. The bathroom is disgusting; my hands came back dirtier after washing in the sink’s unclear water.

Friendly staff, great food. So good, in fact, that I forgot to take pics before we started to eat. So the pics im posting are after we started 🙂
I got the lobster roll. Absolutely fantastic. They def DID NOT skimp on the lobster meat. The sandwich was one of the best I’ve ever had. The Cole slaw salad and chips that came with it were home-made and delicious. My wife got the lamb sliders. WOW! Super good.
My wife also got a regular margarita and a watermelon mixed drink. Both had a good amount of liquor.
Highly recommend.
