Canal Cafe

We came here unplanned and turns out to be a very lucky find! Highly recommend those planning a day trip to Montauk from the west to stop by as your lunch stop. We had the Lobster Rolls (the smaller option is enough for two!) and clam chowder, and the Little Neck Clam. All were in the Excellent ranking. The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Canal Cafe, and it was an unforgettable experience. The highlight of my visit was the lobster roll, which was simply divine. Generously filled with succulent, fresh lobster, perfectly seasoned, and served on a buttery, toasted bun, it was the best I've ever had. The setting was charming, with a relaxing ambiance and friendly staff that made the experience even more enjoyable. Canal Cafe is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy exceptional seafood in a delightful atmosphere.

This is a local establishment offering some local fare, like clams, and orher seafood. The place is small and can get busy, but have a drink and time will pass by quickly. Service was good and then they'd forget about us intil we summoned someone, and then they'd be back on track. The salad was a little wilted. The guacamole was delicious and the chips were crispy. The clams in broth were yummy. The bread is good and hot! We had a good time.

Def gets crowded so prepare to wait as reservations are not accepted. outside is where you wanna be! fresh seafood and the large lobster roll is truly large - enough for two of us to share. it comes on a rectangular ciabatta roll. don’t love that they use plastic forks (from an environmental and experience perspective). service was adequate:

A beautiful day on East End. Decided to hit Canal Cafe for lunch. Atmosphere was perfect. Bright sun.. lots of nice boats.. great food and a staff that is so accommodating and friendly. Isha (spelling!?) was just incredible and smiled the whole time and was very attentive. The whole staff works well together. Love this place!!
