Editorial Review

LUNCH Lobster Roll Southampton is the kind of roadside seafood haven that draws both Hamptons regulars and city escapees craving a taste of the Atlantic. The space is unpretentious, echoing a classic diner with a Hamptons polish—clean lines, cheerful staff, and a whiff of salt air if you grab a spot outdoors. Plates land on the table fast and loaded: lobster rolls (cold with celery crunch or buttery hot), steaming bowls of bisque brimming with chunky lobster, and fried calamari golden enough to make you forget the commute. Gluten-free options and kids’ portions mean no one’s left out. Service hums along at a friendly clip; regulars are greeted by name and newcomers are quickly welcomed. Here, the ritual of the lobster roll goes beyond mere nostalgia—it’s a bridge between generations of Long Islanders, summer visitors, and hungry travelers drawn together over seafood that feels both indulgent and familiar. Far from being just another stop on Montauk Highway, this place is a living postcard of coastal New York, where a great meal can anchor an afternoon and the sense of community is as real as the sea breeze.
