Set your sights on the iconic "Lunch" sign that beckons you from along the Napeague Stretch on your way to Montauk, and you know that you have come across the quintessential seaside fish shack, which has weathered the tides for over forty decades in Amagansett. Delivering on a convincing blend of nostalgia and roadside charm, The Lobster Roll is a seasonal favorite for vacationing families, surf hounds, and Montauk loyalists. It's brisk, chatty, and sleepy all at the same time. Slide into the bench seats that flank the main dining room or snag a bistro table under an umbrella on the porch and get ready to gorge yourself on fried clam bellies, tempura puffers, fried oysters, clams on the half shell, scallops, platters of shrimp, mini lobster sliders, or Yellowfin tuna salad. For the non-fish eater in the group, there are burgers and hot dogs, which meet average expectations. Be sure to keep room for the retro dessert selections, which include seasonal peach, blueberry, strawberry rhubarb and apple crumb pies. The chocolate egg cream and old-fashioned malted milkshake are as good as you remember them to be. Opens at the beginning of May and closes at the beginning of October.
