Was tired of the usual seafood fare in town and decided to try something different. Big Johns bacon burger, fries and a vanilla milk shake brought me back to simpler times. All home made ice cream makes the difference. The only thing missing was a...juke box.More

Terrible service. Waited online for 15 minutes and finally left withoout ordering. Gave them a second chance the next day with the same results. All we wanted was ice cream. Their employees could use some training

Grabbed a big John burger with sauce, bacon and basically everything extra. Also got a double cheeseburger. If there is a next time I’d get extra sauce on side for the burger.

We ordered the “Big John” burger with cheese and bacon. Nice homemade burger! It was really good. We ordered a large French fry and a large onion ring. Both of them were very good. This will be a stop whenever we come. Next time we...will try the ice cream.More

Been going here for years. This is a standard on every Montauk trip. Delicious soft serve. Who needed Ben & Jerry? Long live John's!

Having driven by here many times over the years, we stopped since it was the off season and not busy. The ice cream was good, but food at the other tables looked very lacking and basic. The restaurant inside isn't anything special either. $5 for...one scoop of ice cream.More

How is this place voted #1 in Montauk? This was such a disappointment. The ice cream was fair, but the service was beyond poor.

Yum! Don't miss this ice cream destination. Not a national known brand, but local place with unique offerings.

My husband and I just ate here. To those who are complaining about the prices - the menu is huge, you can read it from your car, and the prices are shown. You know what the price is before you order. The burgers and fries...were fine. The ice cream was definitely the shining point. It was the best Oreo ice cream I have had in a very long time. My husband had mint chocolate chip and enjoyed it as well. The line moves quickly, but you do have to stand outside (potentially an issue if it’s raining).More

Service was not great. Was not happy with serving size. Don't waste your time. Montauk is expensive and this place is fast food poor.

Great stop for Lunch or Supper family friendly food. Sanitize station available right inside entrance. Very friendly staff. Clean outdoor tables where they brought us our food. Topped off our meal with delicious homemade ice cream.

The gentleman who was originally from Jamaica, was very nice and very friendly. It was very clear what food options were available. It was three of us and we ordered two cheeseburgers with toppings, too small fries, the shrimp and chips, a small lemonade, a...small Sprite and a small milkshake. The cost was over $50. The food was not bad but nothing to stand out and definitely not worth the money. There was not much flavor in much of anything we ordered, the french fries weren't bad, they were hot. The best experience was the friendliness of the gentleman who helped us, oh and the milkshake was tasty. We planned to have some of their homemade ice cream but after the experience of how much everything cost for what we ordered, we were not willing to spend any more money at this place. Also, if you need to use the restroom you need to go behind the building through a white door. It was very clean. It looks like walking outside is the only way to get to the restroom though. I would not recommend this place. It wasn't horrible, but it is too expensive for what you're getting.More

The display cases were filthy, the floors were filthy, and the people behind the counters looked dirty. Everyone WAS wearing a mask, and social distance could have been better. I walked in and walked out because of how dirty the place seemed.
