17 Best American Restaurants in Montauk

“Loved this restaurant! Everything we had was delicious, you can't go wrong. the service was great. Wish we lived closer! Must visit if you're in the area“

“We had a lovely meal at Gig Shack! You’re definitely paying for the atmosphere. I was a bit frustrated to be paying $28 for a burger and waffle fries, only to have normal fries come out. I asked our waiter and he said they were out of waffle fries. I wouldn’t have minded too much if he had let us know, it just was a bit odd to have our meal slightly downgraded with no notice. Nice music, though, and what we got was good. Wish I had waffle fries, though.“

“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.“

“Our experience was absolutely phenomenal at the Igloos!!! We were on an overnight trip to Gurneys and it was the perfect addition to a couples night out. We had nice alone time + the food, service, drinks and vibes were top tier. We enjoyed the artisanal platter, the pretzel, the salmon & filet mignon. I was so beyond happy we made the decision to eat here! So well worth every penny! The board games and awesome music in the igloos were a phenomenal touch!“

“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!“

“We had a Celebration of Life for my father. 33 people in attendance for passed hors d’oeuvres and a buffet. The food and service were fabulous and the setting was stunning, but I felt a little rushed at the end, and there was not enough desert.“

“Good food at a good price for Montauk. Would highly recommend trying the skirt steak sandwich, it is amazing! The views are great, and you can’t beat eating your food when having the 1st light house of New York right in front of you.“

“Andrew helped us out with a unique parking situation, and he’s a genuinely awesome person. The bar tender was also an awesome guy who’s sailed across the pacific. The experience was incredible and this is a must-go if you’re in town.“
