Casual spot dishing up lobster rolls & other seafood creations in a low-key space since the 1950s.
"New to Southampton in 2022, this indoor expansion of the local roadside staple is now a year-round attraction. Stop in for a Long Island-style seafood menu, including lobster rolls both drenched in warm butter or packed with lobster salad, creamy clam chowder, and fried clam strips, plus a full bar happily slinging dirty shirleys. Summer brings late nights on the patio, where anyone eager to dance to a Top 40 DJ comes to party. The original location is also called The Lobster Roll, but everyone calls it “Lunch,” thanks to the huge LUNCH sign you can't miss when driving on Montauk Highway." - melissa kravitz hoeffner, team infatuation

"Lunch makes the best lobster roll in the Hamptons, but it’s not for the purists—theirs is mayo-heavy and has lots of chopped-up celery in the chunky, creamy lobster salad. Still, this could be our last meal on earth, and definitely our ideal meal after the beach. If you’re stopping by for a smaller snack, they also do the lobster salad as a slider. A second location opened in Southampton in 2022 that has an expanded menu and a full bar. " - melissa kravitz hoeffner, team infatuation
"The beautiful, sweet lobster rolls—a phenomenon I was utterly unfamiliar with before moving east—everywhere from the classics of Long Island’s East End, like Duryea's in Montauk and The Lobster Roll (better known as Lunch) in Amagansett, to the dozens of summertime gems in Maine, like Shaw's Fish & Lobster Wharf in the village of New Harbor."
"The Lobster Roll, with a famous sign that just says ‘LUNCH.’" - Tierney Plumb
