My husband and I came in with my task-trained service animal (I have Tourette’s syndrome). We didn’t know that the owner was not keen on animals. The gentleman who greeted us was quite reluctant to seat us and said that the owner, Jason does not permit animals inside. I explained that, per the ADA law, service animals cannot be denied. It was clear that the host was really grappling with letting us stay and I tried not to be a “Karen” about it. After some consternation, we were sat in a corner and my service dog curled up quietly under the table, where she stayed for the next 90min. Initially we waited to get a drink order but a young woman finally came by and was lovely and cheerful. She offered my service dog a cup of water. I ordered a Guinness, my husband ordered an IPA. We waited a little bit and a very handsome and kind young man delivered our drinks (I now know that is Eoghan.) he asked if we were ready and we were not. The young woman came by a bit later and we ordered a dozen raw oysters, the prime rib sandwich and a cheese burger medium rare. I should have specified to have the oysters come first. When the food runner brought out the oysters and the prime rib sandwich he did not mention at all that my burger was on the way. He just sort of drop the two items and then walked away. The first oyster I went to enjoy was just a shell no oyster in it so I did a quick inventory and learned that three of the twelve oysters were just a shell. Eoghan was able to get us the missing oysters replaced quickly. But no luck with the burger I was waiting for. And then, finally it arrived! It looked so pretty! I got the zucchini fries and they were so delicious. Sadly, my medium rare burger was legit well done. It was extra disappointing because the cheese looked so good the bacon was crispy and the lettuce/tomato was super fresh! I had about 2 bites only. I decided to drown my sorrows and when I next saw Eoghan I got a Jameson neat. It’s a $17 glass of whiskey. It helped ease my pain, lol. The busser/food runner asked if I would like a box for the cheeseburger and I said no thank you, I could not eat it because it was way overcooked. He just smiled. I was hoping he would ask if I wanted to see manager or have it redone but I did not bring it up. We got the check from Eoghan who delivered it with speed and alacrity. We were charged twice for the oysters but it was promptly removed from the bill. Then the check just sat on the table with our credit card on top. I saw FOH staff walk by and look at it and just ignore it. Finally someone grabbed it. It was $176. We gave Eoghan $40 cash tip.

Always a reliable choice in Montauk. The food and service never disappoint. During the busy season we'll usually eat at the fancier places in town but we try to stop at The Shagwong once during our visit for dinner or lunch. Off season, on a 25 degree January day like today, we were very happy that the Shagwong is a reliable year round choice.

Food, staff, service everything was so mid,We ordered rib sandwich, fish and chipsShe didn’t even tell us what is that sauce for.It just looks like an oil or something. also cutlery was super dirty. I went same place 6months ago but this time was super disappointed.
Andrew Clark
The service here is atrocious. I was sat at a window seat and despite multiple attempts to flag a server down over the course of 45 minutes I was never served after being seated. I don’t get how they run a restaurant like this because it was absolutely obscene. I will say that the atmosphere is nice and food looks good. If only I was given the option to try anything.

Might be good for drinks but the food is horrendous. Started with calamari which was so chewy it was basically inedible. Ordered the burger and fish sandwich for dinner. Burger was ordered medium rare and came raw. Ice cold. “Fresh catch” fish sandwich is clearly a piece of frozen tilapia. Ordered it blackened which in retrospect should have known wouldn’t be blackened. Seasoned, yes. Blackened, no. Should probably be able to make a simple burger that isn’t served raw. Server was friendly and nothing was her fault. Overall, don’t waste your money.

I’ll start by saying it’s winter so most of the places you would go first, are closed. However, the food was just sad. One of our party members does not eat fish so a chicken sandwich was his choice. $18 for a frozen Tyson chicken between bread is laughable. Considering you can go to Carissa’s and get a significantly better sandwich for 16.The lobster roll was passable but just go elsewhere.

On our recent trip to montauk, the day began at the shagwong and finished on our return. Go times, good food and drinks.
I ordered the Cali Mari rings and edamame. Calamari rings were the consistency of rubber bands and dry from over frying. The batter? Dry rub? was tasteless. The lingering taste of oil was very unpleasant. The edamame were good……My wife had the “Fishwich” sandwich. Not quite sure where the fish was. She declared that is was Mehhh at best.Went to the bar as the bartender “Men” were throwing ice at each other for about 10 minutes, during that period no one offered us a drink. The bartender lady finally passed by, I hailed her down and she got us our beer. I finished my beer, put the bottle to the bars edge as the “bar” staff walked by it for 15 minutes never picking it up and asking the long awaited question, “ would you like another?” At some time after being involved in a captivating conversation with my wife I turned and noticed my beer bottle gone????I haled down a passing bartender, a young man that looks like a “Big Bang Theory” star and asked if he knew where my empty went and he said, no. I asked him why my empty would be removed and not offered another one and his adolescent antagonistic response only forced me to laugh at him as he proceeded to do his job, you know, serve me my beer. At sometime after finishing my second beer the “lady” bartender asked if I wanted another beer, I said yes please. As she was walking away, she sneezed into her had and proceeded to go get my beer never having washed her hand.I left my beer on the bar, no tip and will never EVER return……..

We had been to Shagwong many years ago and wanted to go again during our recent trip to Montauk. Shagwong is one of the few restaurants open year round in the area. There is a large bar area. The dining room is very casual and rustic. The server was friendly, attentive and had good suggestions for our meal. We enjoyed the wings, baked mac & cheese and fried calamari. The prime rib sandwich was delicious and came with dipping sauce. The fish and chips were fresh and filling with plenty of French fries.

Nice local bar. The zucchini fries are plentiful and have a good spicy sauce. The Clams Casino is interesting - like Oysters Rockefeller.
