Like all the older places in Montauk, the ambiance is laid back and the food is delicious. They always have something original and different on the menu. I love the botique attached. Very unique items. More

This is a very small restaurant with a shop attached. The ladies who work there tend to chat with their local friends, leaving the new customers to wait to be seated when there are plenty of chairs. The poor overworked waiter was handling about 12 tables on his own, and you did not see even one time one of those... More

Yes, there really is a big white seagull painted on the roof. The restaurant has three parts, the main dining room, the outdoor patio (where I usually choose to eat) and the boutique. Every time I'm in Montauk, I must go here for breakfast. Typical fare, not really fancy, but cooked well, served hot and delicious with fresh squeezed O.J.... More

Bird on the Roof has become a family tradition for us. The omelets are outstanding! Nothing but the freshest ingredients and always perfectly cooked! Some are very inventive and others are the standard but all are wonderful!!! This restaurant also has wonderful coffee - a very important item to me! Always fresh and piping hot. It also is very kid... More

This is a small breakfast place with an outdoor patio. Love their egg open face frittattas --- the best. You can pick what you want in them. We've been taking the kids here since they were babies. Great service. Delicious fresh squeezed oj. More

With the closing of Salivar's, we needed to find somewhere new for breakfast, and this place is it. The pancakes, which are super thin (almost more like crepes), are outstanding. Owner and waitstaff are very attentive. It's Montauk, so it's not cheap, but given how bad the other sit down breakfast options in town are, I won't go anywhere else. More

We went to BIRD on the recommendations of other trip advisor reviews. I must agree with 123Beach123, NYC "Best Pancakes Ever" and brodmktg, New Jersey "Truly Amazing Pancakes". This is a quaint little place, very nice. We ordered the special pancakes with bananas, blueberries, strawberries, and pecans! WONDERFUL! BUT, be prepared to pay ala carte, pancakes $9.95, $3.50 bacon, $2.50... More

My husband has treated me to a relaxing weekend vacation to Montauk for my birthday just last week. We had planned to do nothing but sun/read at the beach, eat at delishes restaurants & have a romantic time. We wanted to start our vacation with a hearty breakfest although he was familiar with this restaurant I was not. The restaurant... More
