Clam Bar at Napeague — Restaurant in Town of East Hampton

We stopped here after our trip to Montauk because we had been here before Covid and enjoyed the fresh clams. There is plenty of parking and you have to dine out on the picnic tables because this is a beach style restaurant. The food was very disappointing, to say the least. It is no longer sourced locally but frozen and fried. It took a very long time for our lunch to be cooked even though it was not very busy. The food is very pricey considering that it is all frozen from a box. The cole slaw was disgusting and sour. I rarely ever write negative reviews like this, but I know I would never patronize this place again. The fish was obviously deep fried and had a lot of breading. Clearly, I'm not a fan. If you want a lobster roll, be prepared to spend over 50. Once again, frozen from a food service company and not locally sourced. Go to Shop Rite's frozen foods section, and you'll get a better meal for 1/5 of the cost. It was not worth it to dine here.

On a positive note, the bathrooms were clean even though they had the heat blaring. There is also free Wi-Fi!

The atmosphere is meh. There are no sites to see. No ocean views, etc. You can amuse yourself to see if you can find poison ivy on the side of the lot giving bonus points to see how many people walk through it. There is no place to eat indoors with ac, but it is a roadside take out place.

As for the service, it was good and they do provide you with plastic utensils,etc. It is not very eco-friendly, but it is what it is. Whoever owns this place has a cash cow operation. They should pay their workers more. When you get your bill, the tip options are there in big letters. Tip in cash. Otherwise, it's even less money for the hardworking staff who sweat to death in the blazing heat to make this fried boxed food for you...

So there was a 15 minute wait for a table which was no big deal. The hostess was very friendly and kind. Our waitress - not so kind after we did not order alcoholic beverages. She did not even check on us once. When we were waiting for a table we were looking at menus in which we thought stated the lobster rolls came with french fries. We ordered two lobster rolls. I flagged down our waitress to ask about if the lobster rolls came with fries and with the biggest attitude she was like “ummmm NO” and rushed away. Not “no, sorry it doesn’t come with french fries but do you want a side of fries?” It was so rude, dismissive, and belittling the way she said it. She could not be bothered with us after we didn’t order alcoholic drinks to “up” the bill. It was like we were taking up her table she did not want to serve. When we first sat down the whole table was very sticky so i had to align the edge of the table with napkins. (how ickkkk!) The rest of the waitresses/water boy were very kind and attentive when I asked for our check. I was going to purchase a hat but it’s safe to say I will not be returning here due to poor service and the lobster rolls were not great, average but nothing to write home about. The lobster was overcooked, tasteless and i was constantly taking shells out of my mouth every time i bit down into it. Served on a regular hot dog bun that was soggy drenched in butter. Theres better places to go, with better quality and less expensive. As a foodie, I was just...

I was sitting in my car, dealing with a little anxiety, when a man suddenly appeared and started yelling at a woman trying to park next to me. At first, I wasn’t sure if he was serious or if they knew each other. Then I noticed her young daughter was still sitting in the car while he continued to yell at her mother.

After the woman walked into the bar area, he turned his back then immediately spun around and started yelling at her again, saying she wasn’t allowed to order food.

She kept apologizing, and that’s when I realized: this man wasn’t a friend he was being a complete bully.

I got out of my car and joined my two girlfriends at a nearby table. One of them turned to him and said, “We’re not paying for our food until she gets hers.” He quickly stormed off.

We spoke with the employees and learned that this man John and he is the husband of the woman who originally owned this historic place. Honestly, I hope she throws him out. I can’t imagine how he treats her behind closed doors. The staff even told us he talks to them the same way.

John, if you see this get help. You showed the most narcissistic, public display of verbal abuse I’ve ever witnessed. Shame on you.

That restaurant, and everyone in it, deserves better. Especially that woman and...
