It was our first time there, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Great view and vibe! The staff was pleasant and helpful, and the valet was quick. The muscles were very good, and you got a lot for the price. We also had the wedge salad which we enjoyed. The John Daly cocktail was very refreshing! This is a fantastic summer gem!

The only place to eat in the Dunes .. so it could be crowded.. we went on a weekday so there is no line but the place is still buzzling.. great place to watch the sunset! food was okay.. my husband love the coffee burger.. something we haven’t tried before.. fish and chips are okay but not over the top, might order something else if we come back! service is good.. valet parking

If you had to ask me what my favorite all time restaurant is in the entire world, my answer would be John Scott’s Surf Shack.
They are seasonal so they are normally open from the first Friday in May to the last Saturday of September, however their dates vary so make sure to check their social media outlets for details.
For their 2024 season, they opened on Friday May 3rd, and of course I had to go on opening day. We arrived around 5p and it wasn’t busy yet.
The parking lot is small, very small, and there is no parking on Dune Road so they hire a valet service. Since we got there before the rush, we parked our own car, but as we were leaving, we noticed that someone time in between they started their valet service. During peak times, there is often a line of cars waiting on the shoulder to be parked, but you have to wait with your vehicle, and the restaurant will not seat you until your entire party has arrived and parked.
We sat outside in the sun overlooking the bay. As the sun set, we did get a little cold so be prepared for chilly times, even in warmer weather.
We ordered so much food for their opening night (four people in total sharing everything). This included the following:
-Surf Shack Famous Wings, 2x
-Firecracker Shrimp
-French Fries with Old Bay seasoning
-Cajun Calamari
-Popcorn Shrimp Wrap
-Tijuana Chicken
-Baja Fish Tacos
-Fish and Chips
Their chicken wings for opening night were the best chicken wings I’ve ever had from John Scott’s. I’m in love with their buffalo sauce however they are normally lacking in the quality of the wing itself. But this night, out of the world hence the two orders of them.
On their ‘secret menu’ we ordered the basket of fries with old bay seasoning, and this is the best with fries, no ketchup for dipping even needed.
My favorite thing on their menu is the firecracker shrimp. This has a Thai chili glaze and just bursts in flavor. On this day, two people finished the plate in less than 5 minutes.
The popcorn shrimp wrap comes with wing sauce inside and we ordered extra on the side for dipping. 10/10!
The fish and chips was new to me personally.. and I believe it was cod. But that coconut beer batter is something I don’t know how I lived without.
The Cajun calamari was different but in a great way, and would order again.
I didn’t taste the Tijuana chicken or the Baja fish tacos.
For a drink I had a dirty Shirley and a Kona big wave on tap.
Overall, my favorite place and will always continue to come back.

You will never go wrong eating at the Surf Shack. It has great food, live music, a vast beer selection and good service. The sunsets are not so bad.
They are open at the end of the summer from Thursday thru Sunday.
Please be a good neighbor and do not block the adjacent driveways. Also, get out of the road as much as you can while waiting for the valet parking. Need I say give a decent tip to those young valet wranglers. They do a great.job.

Perfect spot for a quick bite w/ great ambiance & delicious food!
The outdoor deck had plenty of seating (and SHADE!) with great views of the water. Service was very quick and attentive. Prices were great considering the location.
I ordered the clam chowder and a quahog – both hit the mark. The chowder was rich and perfectly New England style; the stuffed quahog was classic Cape Cod style – toasty on top but soft on the inside.

I just left the restaurant, we had a great time and great food. It’s their last night open for the season and we even got to enjoy live music. However giving this place a one star review because of the extremely rude guy parking cars.. he was rude when we arrived, rude after we handed him ten dollars to hand us our keys without even pulling up our cars, and didn’t even say THANK YOU for getting tipped to do nothing. He was extremely nasty and rude. And jeez, can you at least smile and show common courtesy?? Can’t believe they allow this at such a popular place.

Great hotel near to beach serving delicious food and cocktails. Live music makes the ambience more lively and happy. We had an amazing lobsters roll here. It’s better to reserve a table here before you go as it’s always busy. We had to wait for an hour to get a table. The staff was really nice and helpful. We would like to visit this place again for sure.

A quintessential Long Island bar that thrives in the summer. The food is of extremely high quality, bartenders are highly competent, and the environment enjoyable snd low stakes. The ideal summer haunt. Ownership is a good as it comes. One of the great Long Island bars.
