Way better than Lunch (or The Lobster Roll) across the way. Chiller vibes, all outdoor seating, and better food. The double shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, and fried oysters are all favorites.
NewsdayJuly 31, 2013Either under the umbrella or in full sun, The Clam Bar serves up the excellent lobster roll, generous and flavorful. Also recommended are spicy crab-sweet corn chowder and fried oysters.
Michael HornJune 10, 2013Ask what's fresh and don't let them wiggle out of it. On our visit, fried clams were frozen. Lobster salad roll is good. Tuna bits are very good. Soft shell crab sandwich and steamers are both good.
Anna BoffettaOctober 19, 2018Must-do while driving to Montauk. Amazing and very generous lobster roll. An institution with a very well deserved reputation. Great staff and sometimes live rock music.- Jeremy BeckAugust 6, 2013Great spot for a quick bite on your way in/out of Montauk! (Usually my first stop before I get there). Good variety and delicious apps. They always have an awesome music selection too!
Lobster Roll Report: The menu says "lobster salad roll" so don't be surprised when you don't get big chunks. One of my fav lobster rolls in the hood, but make sure to try the rolls at Fish Farm too.- My favorite place on Long Island. Don't mess around, get the lobster roll, grilled fish specials, pick a chowder and finish it of with the fried clam strips
Jess KendallSeptember 13, 2014Decent lobster rolls yet filled with shredded lobster instead of big juicy chunks of meat. Pretty good fried clams make this a solid stop on the way to or from Montauk.
Barney SimonJuly 8, 2015This long time east end restaurant is a good stop for basic and more elaborate fare. Last weekend we had the clam chowder, fried soft shell crab sandwich, and the grilled tuna sandwich.
Men's Health MagNovember 17, 2011At a place like this, even a non-seafood lover can eat it all day. It’s a red shack with picnic tables. There’s beer too, which will encourage anyone to stay. Go for Blue Point, it’s the local brew.
miles lennonSeptember 12, 2015All fish is locally caught. Some of the freshest tuna I've had period. Also the Montauk Summer is a good brew for a hot day
Damian BayonaJuly 21, 2015Large and delicious lobster roll. A meal in and of itself. Chowders are also good tho skimpy on the clam.
- Susanna Lee PaulusAugust 10, 2014What can I say, you can't go wrong with the lobster roll. It's overflowing with lobster and delicious down to the last bite.
Angelina ZeppieriJune 6, 2022Lobster roll is so good. Not too much mayonnaise and definitely loaded with lobster
Travel + LeisureJune 14, 2012On the stretch between Montauk and Amagansett, look for the yellow-and-white-striped umbrellas. We prefer the simple seafood here to the more famous Lunch, a.k.a. the Lobster Roll, down the street.
Victor VelezAugust 5, 2012Victor here. BEST Lobster Roll in the Hamptons although it's Napegue.. Betsy, Maybe someday I'll get that elusive, towering lobster roll like all the other tables, I've been hoping for 10 years. Hmmm
- MashkaMay 11, 2015Gave me a whole different look at fried food. Their tuna bits are little puffy clouds of magic.
Sam HorineNovember 29, 2014As someone who has eaten A LOT of lobster rolls I'd rate this one a 7 (during the off season, perhaps they turn up the taste for summer)
Katie KupkakesMay 20, 2013The mussels are so perfect and such a steal. The price is almost too good to be true!
Hands down the best place on the east end for lobster rolls and clam chowder.
Angela DayJune 27, 2011The lobster roll is small and a little bit pricey but definitely, definitely worth it.
Leigh WilfleyAugust 6, 2013Highly recommend the Lobster Roll with a Hell or High Watermelon seasonal wheat beer!
Steve ColemanFebruary 29, 2012Bring cash, put on mosquito repellant, sit away from other diners, get steamers, get tuna, leave fast. Pros sit at the counter.
Peter KaracasAugust 15, 2012Don't get the fried shrimp or fried scallops if you want then fresh...they're from a box "Mrs. Friday's breaded butterfly shrimp". Clams are fresh though.
Jan GardnerAugust 29, 2010They know they have a hot spot so the servers tend to snotty and forward ,over heard at other tables as well ...the seafood is fresh but plan being there a long time .
The Tuna Bits are a must. Crispy, fresh and satisfying.
JenKuduMay 27, 2013Fried scallops are pretty good. Clam roll was pretty disappointing. It was my first, so don't know if it was good or bad by standards. However, no flavor, bland batter and nothing on the roll. Meh :(
Abby DeMilloJuly 27, 2021Ask if they actually have clams before waiting for 20 minutes for a table...
ThrillistMay 17, 2010Hit this spot for the outdoor, picnic-style eating, of their supremely delicious lobster rolls.
Great place to chill outside...try the lobster salad stuffed tomato and the spicy corn and clam chowder
Yael RizowyNovember 8, 2020Terrible service. The employees were condescending and rude. When asked for a chair so my father could sit during the 45 min wait, they made a huge deal and sat him far away. Overpriced mediocre food.
