First…the food and service were great. Honest food that is hand prepared with care. I has the fish sandwich and my husband had the lobster roll. We both loved the food. The place is a little tight in the seating department and the prices are...high. Over $100 for two people to each basically eat sandwiches with NO wine or beer (we both has iced tea) is a bit much. I don’t know how a family could afford to have a lunch here.More

We both had ribs and coleslaw. The ribs were not special, seemed packaged, not fresh and the sauce was too sweet. Coleslaw was home made if I remember correctly. My partner hated the cornbread but I loved it. Pretty sweet. But the fabulous Lemoncello Marscapone...cake was the saving grace. I know Gig is supposed to be known for key lime pie but, trust me, skip that old favorite and go with the Lemoncello instead. Sorry about bad spellingMore

Party of 9 for birthday celebration. Erin and the team were great. Drinks were stellar and stealthy. Appetizers all scrumptious and plentiful. Dinners were all good from ribs to fluke to the burger. Will be back for certain.

This place is amazing. Awesome food and atmosphere. Everything we ordered was so fresh and delicious. I had the fish tacos best I ever had, we had the empanada also and Tuna tar tar, delicious. We were a group of 7 and every single dish...was better than the next. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Great drink options as a well. Not be missed when in Montauk.More

DO NOT GO HERE. Terrible and rude service. We arrived with our 3 year old and two grandparents, to a nearly empty restaurant, and the guy at the front was extremely rude. Refused to serve us even if we got food to go. Meanwhile our...child was being very well behaved. Waiter had terrible and arrogant attitude.More

We ate here on a Friday night in April. We were seated quickly in a heated enclosed patio. Our service and our meals were both very good. I would definitely recommend.

What a gem in the heart of downtown Mantauk! Casual and fun vibe, outstanding food! Fresh tuna tartare taquitos? Amazing! quality fresh ingredients and everything has their own twist right down to the delicious Caesar salad - add blackened scallops for even better meal. Ribs...fell off the bone and had a unique style bbq - a must! Drinks were also great! Peach whiskey Arnold Palmer was fabulous! Don’t pass this place by!More

It is so rare for me to write reviews, but I feel it necessary to recover from the assault on my sensibilities last night at the Gig Shack. Cute place, good location, decent service...I'll start out by saying something positive. We came with another couple...and struggled with the minimalist menu. Our meals arrived and it's difficult to describe the underwhelming feeling generated by the plates before us. I got the bill and had a hard time finishing my signature on the receipt. Miniscule portions, bland food, crazy prices. I feel like their back in the kitchen saying, "do you believe they pay this$$ for that?" Get over yourselves, please. Until then, I recommend people move down the street for a dining experience. I've been fooled once.More

The Gig Shack is awesome! Trendy delicious food and great cocktails. They had simple picnic table seating where we sat outside and that was great for our kids. Portion size was just right to leave room for some key lime pie! Recommend the mussels, fish...tacos, and ribs…any of them with the blueberry lemonade cocktail!More

Very nice food. Nothing fancy but tasty. Right in the center of town with outdoor dining. Loved it. The key lime pie was one of the best we had.

we had a family lunch at that place today and it was disappointing. Firstly we were greeted at the entrance and promptly seated, so far so good. Our waiter was attentive and pretty quick. But then one of a sudden a lady who was sitting...across to us started to point at something under our table ... It was a mouse! Actually I saw two of them running next to the wall ... I understand that it might have come from the adjacent building or from some other place down the street, but still .. Anyways our food arrived in a bit and it was average at best. My tacos were cold, my wife's coleslaw was probably made a while ago and didn't smell good at all. My conclusion - it's not very clean and severely overpriced.More

This place is over rated, small over priced portions, inattentive service and attitude from the staff. The best employee was the bus boy. The hostess was rude, told us we had a 30 minute wait, understood, but started to seat her friends or the young...men who bantered with her, who just walked up, while we waited. Food was just okay. Major disappointment after reading previous reviews.More
