If I could select zero stars I would have. We stumbled across this place, figuring a place with this location and a Zagat's sign in the window had to be decent. We were so wrong! From the second they served us wonderbread we should have known we were in for a lousy dining experience (any restaurant that serves wonderbread to... more

Dined here on a Friday night and the service and food was terrible! We both had the Prix Fixe for $21.95 and left hungry. I had fettucini alfredo, but it was more like fetucini with water and butter.. The service was rude and inattentive. I have allergies to cats and there were two cats that walked right off the street... more

Had dinner at Shagwong this past weekend with friends and it was one of the worst meals I've ever had. The place has been a Montauk institution for decades but at this point I think it's living off that status and it's good location in the center of town because it was awful. Please explain to me how a seafood... more

we made a mistake on our first night in montauk (june 2007) and as we went all out to have a really nice (manhattan style) dinner at East by Northeast. We were so dissatisfied that we decided to get dinner the second night at a place more intimate, casual and montauk-ish and stumbled upon Shagwong which we loved! We ordered... more

We got here about 3pm on a weekday in off-season. A vegetarian diner at our table asked about his options. The waitress was unable to confirm that the kitchen could make a grilled cheese sandwich. We had to call over the manager to make this possiblilty a reality. Three or four of the items on the menu were simply not... more

Without doubt the worst meal I have ever been served. The cod was old, dry and smelled. more

My boyfriend and i didn't get into Montauk till after 10pm and we were looking for a place to get dinner. A friend recommended Shagwongs and to be honest I didn't want to go b/c of some of the bad reviews on tripadvisor, but there were not that many choices in the area for a late night dinner. It turned... more

I have eaten at "the Shag" several times on various trips to Montauk. I've found that dinner is a much better bet than lunch, both in food quality and in service. If you do go for dinner, be sure to try one of the specials - the seafood is delicious and well prepared. The bartender makes a very good bloody... more

Went into the place starving after a morning's surfing, so we ordered steaks which arrived tough and overcooked and accompanied with what could only have been mashed potatoe from a packet. The service was even worse, had to get up and get a fork for my friend after asking the waitress for one even after our food had been put... more

Get one of the comfortable booths in the back room - there might be a special that night: we got the $29.95 for 2 dinners deal. Not bad at all. Service was pleasant, bread basket good. One thing to note: brand name drinks are $10 a pop - ouch!! more
