Came here as a family of 5 (3 adults and 2 kids (6 and 8). Short wait even though it was very crowded on a Saturday night. There was a packed bar but almost all of the tables were outside. We sat near the man playing guitar and singing. Kids had hotdogs and fries. Adults had watermelon and feta salad as a side, one had the veggie burger which was ok, one had the fish tacos which needed some seasoning but was ok and I had the fish and chips which was flounder instead of cod and a little greasy on the bottom. We also had wings as a side which were very good. With drinks, the bill was $160 plus tip, not cheap ! The environment was very hip, the service was attentive and excellent. Food needed lots more spices but over all, fun Meal. Perfect place to take kids because it’s totally Informal and noisy!

Visiting lifelong friends in the Hamptons. They recommended this restaurant for lunch. Great choice!
Seated promptly in an upbeat manner. Mike, our server, was friendly, made good recommendations, and seemed to genuinely inquire about our meal and if we were doing well.
Baked Quohouge (spelling ?) was tasty, not too bready. Fish tacos were fresh tasting and loaded with fish. The corn-based slaw was refreshingly delicious. I had a lobster with drawn butter, a potato, and corn on the cob. All delicious. I also enjoyed some of my wife’s crab cakes … and highly recommend. Montauk draft beer, I think, was tasty.
Thanks Mike (see photo) for making a really good meal better!

John Scott’s is great for so many reasons. The location is great but the food is too! The price is right and the staff works so hard. I can go on and on but why bother. If you are in the area go to John Scott’s. Some notes, I do not think they take reservations. It is a very laid back place so if you need a lot of structure in your dining experience - leave the beach.

Met a friend here on a Friday evening for drinks and apps/dinner. I've lived out east for years and never stopped in despite hearing great things. I was able to snag two seats at the bar around 5:30 (bar fills up quickly) --clearly a popular place and for good reason. Located right on Dune Road, valet parking, and good drinks and food in a nice atmosphere. A really fun casual spot.

Really enjoyed the ambiance, the fun and the food here. I ordered mussels and shrimp tacos and they were delicious. The services tried their best although it was very busy. Spectacular view!

Stopped in at 2pm on a Saturday; not crowded between the lunch and happy hour. Had drinks and an appetizer, both good. A sunny day with a nice view of the bay. A great time.

Service was fast. Beer was cold. Get the wings. They are awesome. Blackened shrimp tacos were great.

This is a fun, casual restaurant with a great view! Good drink menu, full bar with plenty of food options for kids through adults. I don't eat seafood & there's plenty of options for that as well. There's usually a wait time & parking is limited, so plan ahead when you visit Westhampton Beach!!!

We visited here for drinks a few times during our stay in Westhampton, and thought this was a good bar to visit with friends.
They have a decent selection of beers, and plenty of seating space. The staff are friendly and fairly attentive.
The only downsides are that it is a bit far out down Dune Road, so it can be tricky to get there and from, and the bathrooms were a bit grimy one evening we were there (but it is a surf shack so...).
All in all a good spot.

We eat here every year while we are on vacation and always enjoy our time at this establishment. Other than parking and a sometimes lengthy wait for a table, everything about it is good. Great service and friendly staff that insure that you are satisfied with every bit of your time here. Food is great and they get it to you quickly. Coconut shrimp is a favorite. Be back next year.

Bay view distant but nice. Service and food poor. Waiter took orders and did not know many items on menu not available; so had to reorder. Some guests finished meal before others served. $30 for lobster roll over sold as “generous portion” when it was not.

The Wednesday night lobster night is our favorite night here. It’s a great atmosphere to enjoy dinner on the water under the stars with live music and a $20 lobster in the Hamptons

We stopped here for a late lunch so the car park was empty and we didn’t have to wait for our food. The young waitress served us really quickly and food tasted good, as did my drink! Huge portion of calamari. Kids played on the old video game machine and we had an enjoyable hour or two.

Enjoyed the crowd and the food. Parking lot gets full, but the staff helps to move everyone in. Wait at the busy bar for our table was very reasonable.
