“Best Lobster Roll in Montauk“

“Quaint spot! Food was delicious!“

“Great beach at Gurneys. Went there a lot over my stay. Had a Cabana, which was set up really nice. Service was good, but the servers didn't come by that often. The servers probably came once every two hours, but you can go up to the bar and ask for things if you need something (drinks, food, sunscreen, etc.). Food was ehh (definitely frozen), but I was there for the beach. Too be honest, I recommend just walking down and getting yourself a beach chair and umbrella, and that should work. Cabana is good if you have a large group or want to have a few couches. Overall, the beach was nice, quiet, and clean.“

“The atmosphere is seaside casual. An open floor plan exists with a nice bar on one side. It’s airy inside with high ceilings. The food and service is always great. The specials are always a delight. Prices are moderate and fair. Portions are generous.“

“Visiting Montauk - found it online and been twice now. Just behind main street. Take out or eat casually on benches outside. Wide range of seafood options. Loving the Lobster Bisque and the Hooked House salad is a real must. Check it out - you will not be disappointed.“

“hands down the best restaurant in Montauk - no need to look any further. extremely fresh and creative dishes that are amazing every single time. most of the ingredients for their menu items are local!! either coming from local fishermen or farms, which is amazing and so unique. it really makes all the difference in the food quality. any restaurant that has seasonal menu items i trust!! i love that they change their menu and specials based on the seasons. staff is 10/10 and family vibes are 10/10. you feel like a real part of MTK community here. will always be back!!“

“Great lobster rolls !!! - Good service!“

“It was my first time at Ruschmeyer’s in Montauk, and from the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The front desk team was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond—helping with my bags and giving me a great lay of the land.

The rooms were beautifully designed, spacious, and comfortable. But the real magic was in the shared spaces—the expansive lawn, cozy fire pits (complete with a s’mores kit!), shady trees perfect for relaxing, and a stylish bar and lounge area inside.

The location couldn’t be better—just about 0.7 miles to downtown and the beach, making for an easy walk or bike ride. We made the most of our time here and are leaving tan, full, and completely satisfied. Couldn’t ask for more—already looking forward to my next visit!“

“excellent service.. excellent food../ amazing fluke sashimi!! and that burger!!! yum“

“My daughter and husband had their wedding reception at Navy Beach restaurant recently. Service, food and venue were first rate. Was asked multiple times if all was well and communications with Franklin were great through the planning process and day of wedding. What a fun and festive vibe on the beach for the cocktail hour then dinner in the restaurant overlooking the beach! Bar service was polite, friendly and very helpful. All servers were polite and responsive. The food was fresh, well presented, perfectly seasoned and expertly cooked. Best meal I have had in a very long time! Guests were raving about the seafood appetizers and main meal. I loved the quartered perfectly cooked burger appetizer! A perfect venue for the wedding! Weather highlights its beauty. Fun vibe!“

“So impressed with the service at Salivar’s - we took a chance and our big party rolled in with no reservation on a summer Friday night and Mimi at the front desk was so accommodating, offering us several options without batting an eye. We then were sat at a great table and our server Kelsey (along with several other staff members) juggled our chaos with grace. She was so sweet and totally made our night. Food was also delicious, from seafood specials to chicken and burgers to the kids options - we ordered everything on the menu and no one was disappointed. Thank you Salivar’s!!!“
