About Bay Burger

Discover Bay Burger, a beloved roadside gem located at 1742 Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike, Sag Harbor, NY 11963, United States. As a food blogger constantly exploring standout local dining experiences, I was eager to try Bay Burger in Sag Harbor—often praised as one of the best restaurants in Sag Harbor for classic American comfort food done right.

Compared to other local dining experiences in the Hamptons, Bay Burger offers excellent value without compromising on flavor or portion size.

What makes Bay Burger stand out is its commitment to quality and freshness. The Bay Burger itself is a must-try—featuring a juicy, perfectly grilled beef patty topped with crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and house sauce, all served on a soft, toasted bun. The Bacon Cheeseburger is another standout, adding smoky, crispy bacon and melted cheese for a rich, indulgent bite. For something equally satisfying, the Chicken Sandwich delivers tender, flavorful chicken with a well-balanced seasoning that complements its fresh toppings.

Customer reviews consistently highlight the food quality and friendly service.

A special touch is their freshly made milkshakes, which pair perfectly with any burger and add a nostalgic element to the meal. The outdoor seating is also pet-friendly, making it a great stop for those exploring the area with their furry companions.

While the menu focuses primarily on classic American fare rather than a wide variety of cuisines, Bay Burger excels in delivering these staples with consistency and care. The limited menu actually works in its favor, allowing the kitchen to focus on quality and execution.

Customer Reviews

“ I've been coming to Bay Burger since 2007 and it NEVER disappoints! Even when they had the breakfast sandwiches (please bring it back!!), the food never disappointed! I'm a vegetarian so I always get the veggie burger, but this is actually one of the few places that are still around that opened before I became a Vegetarian. I remember their burger being incredibly juicy and I know that if I ever break vegetarianism, this would be the first place I'd go. Their fries and tots are nice, crispy, and always fresh, just like I like them! Plus their $2 brew is pretty good for cheap beer . ”

“ Great local place to grab a burger with your friends or kids! You can enjoy a beer while the kids play in the back room with their stixx wall or toys. I personally like Wednesdays because there's free ice cream with your meal! ”

Ann Marie Blodorn

“ Hands down the best burger in The Hamptons and the best tater tots in the world. (They're SO crispy!) Also, the local handmade ice cream is the best...can't remember the name of the brand...but the mint chip is where it's at! ”

Spencer Belkofer

“ We came here on a rainy day when the other restaurant had an hour wait. There was no wait. Ordered two burgers and a fish sandwich. The burgers were solid burgers. It wasnt too greasy and it was portion for 9 bucks. The fish burger was a little dry. Wish it wasn't as overcooked. We also had the fries and tots, but who really messed that up. When we arrived at did (what felt like) a school bus of kids and adults. We all felt for each other as we had over 30 kids in one restaurant. Says something about this place. Overall a great option for the young ones. ”

Betty Chen

“ Haven't had a bad burger (beef, fish) yet from these guys. The lobster roll when it's in season's pretty good too. Local ice cream + free cones on Wednesdays with a meal = packed Wednesdays, come early or late. I think they have live music on Thursdays too. ”

Brian Neu

“ Great burger, good prices. One of the last places in the Hamptons that you can get a quick burger for under 15 dollars. Great place for kids. Had outdoor seating too. Barry burger is also closing in 2 weeks. So go there soon because it won't be around for long. ”

William Hart

“ I was in Sag Harbor for the first time and went online to find a cheap, decent place to eat. "Bay Burger" got great reviews, so I went there. I got the Buffalo Chicken Burger, and it was excellent, and so was the Blue Cheese sauce they gave me on the side. The service was also fast and friendly, and the place is conveniently located and clean. My only quip was with the price: $7.75 for just my burger with no fries or drink. Sadly enough, that's actually considered reasonable for this part of Long Island. I would definitely go back if in the area again. ”
