The Dock alone was worth the long journey out to Montauk, without my guide who had some local knowledge, I would not have found this out of synch gem. Good food, even better seafood, cooked as you can only find in so many midpriced American establishments, quantity is also not a problem and the service both at table and at... More

"The Dock" is hard to describe. It's a small restaurant tucked away near a commercial dock. Outside, you see a wheelchair, manequins hanging from the roof, a changed-daily-sign in the window insulting some local, and other odd items scattered about. Inside, more of the same - shrunken heads, medals/awards of the proprietor, funny pictures and comments about locals. The lighting... More

Old Montauk is dying, but this place refuses to take part. Easily one if the best bar atmospheres that totally gets the old school New York and Long Island spirit. Not a place for everyone, especially the snooty privileged crowd envading the east end. If your the type that can sit back, shut up and enjoy the scenery and random... More

No tourist hoards here. It looks and feels like a local dive bar. And it is. The bar crowd at night can get thick on the weekends, especially in the summer. But nobody is coming for the atmosphere. The seafood is always fresh (local fishermen eat at the bar here regularly) and simply, but expertly prepared. I have never had... More

I ate here 3 times while staying in Montauk, the food was very good and reasonably priced. Check out the autographed picture of OJ Simpson hanging on the wall in the mens bathroom......

For casual dining, hang out with the locals, at The Dock. I recommend their daily blackboard specials! My Tile fish was fresh, and spicy, served with a fresh corn salsa, and asparagus. The portions are generous, and reasonably priced .Our server was a cute local, with a lot of personality. I had fun gazing at the restaurant, and bar decor,... More

Solid food, good local flavor. No frills and, as the place says, no checks, no credit, no cell phones and no screaming kids! Just good food.
