Fodor's Expert Review Ditch Plains

Named for a surf spot in Montauk, this laid-back neighborhood restaurant serves an eclectic bill of beachfront fare—from fish tacos, lobster rolls, and fish 'n' chips to clam chowder and crab dip, with options for landlubbers and vegetarians, too. It's not quite a beach shack, but the food and setting, with an upbeat rock sound track, are designed for conviviality. The wine-list prices are extremely friendly, with whole and half bottles sold just above cost. Bloody Marys are recommended, too. Breakfast/brunch is served every day from 11 am and dinner served until 2 am nightly.
