About John Scott's Surf Shack

John Scott's Surf Shack is a local gem, offering delicious, fresh seafood like the famous lobster roll with French fries. The welcoming atmosphere makes visitors feel like part of the community, with friendly staff and summer vibes. The setting is unique, with picnic tables and live music, making it a great place to bring kids to run around while waiting for dinner. Despite always being busy, the service is quick and reliable, and the staff are very nice and kind. Parking is handled by staff, which some may find a bit forced, but it adds to the laid-back environment. The food is solid; the Baja fish tacos are especially praised for their savory, just-off-the-boat flavor, with a side of corn salad that offers a little spicy kick. The cheeseburger is cooked medium rare and loved by many, while the fish and chips are crispy and beer-battered, praised for their crunch and freshness. The buffalo chicken shrimp is highly recommended, and drinks like summer cocktails add to the fun. The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing and enjoying good seafood and drinks with friends, especially near Dune Road and Cupsogue. Overall, this timeless surf shack is a must-visit for great food, a friendly vibe, and summer fun.

My place here is worthwhile

ughhh can you say "buyer's remorse?"
I know I am picky but I remember this place being decent years ago.
I regret not complaining. Literally EVERYTHING was bland and gross. It was like hospital food.
Shrimp tacos with miniscule shrimp on heaps of slaw. O.k..how about you season the slaw? it was like literally out of the bag.
The shrimp had to have the tail because if they took it off it would be the size of your thumbnail.
The chowder fries?? there was not a clam...read full review
