Nothing upscale, hip, or pretentious here... Just a good old-fashioned ice cream stand offering both soft-serve and very good home-made ice cream. I can remember stopping here with my family every summer as a kid at least 20 years ago. Nothing has changed and for that I am thankful. More

First off: Johns drive-in is NOT a drive-in. We didnt go knowing the history, so when we pulled up we were dissapointed, as we were looking forward to that drive-in experience. I had the Big John burger, which was a good, quick order burger, and we each had a small ice cream, raspberry truffle and my fiance had kaluha chip.... More

I've taken my children and grandchildren to John's for as long as I have been going to Montauk. It's rather a tradition in Montauk to stop in for a huge ice cream or a quick fries and a burger. It is very kid-friendly with good food at reasonable prices. What more can you ask for in a resort town with... More

We've only had ice cream here, and it is very good! We were even brave enough to be the only people eating it on a December evening! More

We only go here for ice cream. I've never tasted anything else as it's not my kind of food. Maybe good for kids if no one cares what they eat. Hamburgers, fries, lots of fried everything. The ice cream is spectacular. Lots of favors...long lines at times but worth the wait. More
