The Hampton Maid

Seasonal — celebrity heaven on the summer weekends from the Governor to movie and film stars…
They can afford to pay the pricey menu items… don’t think breakfast should cost an arm and a leg.

An absolutely lovely place for a nice breakfast. We’ve been coming to this venue for in excess of 40 years. Always good, always delightful service, and always expensive.

At first, I was annoyed you can only order a prix fixe menu during weekend brunch — I like choices. Then I thought the price was a little too steep for that prix fixe they force you to order. However, once I tried the food, all that went away. It’s worth every penny and then some. Not only was the food amazing, but they pay great attention to every little detail. Even the butter was phenomenal. I’m a convert.

Picturesque place on the North Shore of Long Island. The room was adequate for our weekend needs. They provide a cheese board, (2) wine glasses, (2) coffee cups and you can order room service for the coffee which is worth the fee. Fridge is also in room. No longer received (1) roll of paper towels in the room. We brought some. Pool area was updated since our last visit. There are also chaise lounges, umbrellas, a wicker circular couch set in the sun and in the cabana. Ice is provided down on the shuffle board court by the playground and swing set. There is a short walk down to the main office which is attached the breakfast area, gift shop and section where they have rest rooms, newspapers and local magazines (to locate the activities). You can order a muffin for $ 2.50 a la carte coffee/​tea or splurge and get a larger breakfast for $ 10 – 25.00. They have fresh juices, cream and the staff are smiling. I noticed when entering the property they are building a new section of hotel area. It seemed off to the NW of the property and wasn’t in progress. There are also deer and turkeys around the property as well as many birds.

Pretty tasty brunch! A group of us went out to celebrate in the Hamptons and this was on a list of must tries.
I will give them credit we arrived with a party of 16 and they were seasoned with service. No one wanted anything. Our waitress was spot on about taking care of us in a prompt and courteous fashion.
I ordered the filet mignon and it was a bit over cooked. The fruit was good and so were the fried eggs.
The coffee was made to perfection. I would definitely go back.

This place is amazing. My friends and I rented a house in the neighborhood and heard about this place. Stopped by for breakfast on our second day here and omg amazing food. Its cozy, plenty of room and a friendly staff. I got the French toast with eggs and the French toast just melts in your mouth. Tried a few of my other friends dishes like the omelettes and pancakes and they were delicious. If you want a nice place to go for breakfast, look no further. This is the spot.
Be prepared to spend at least $ 15 to $ 20. Every dollar is worth it.

This place is a treat — best country breakfast in the Hamptons! Love, love, love this place. Great staff, good cooking, cozy. Also great place to stay, get a lot for your buck. Lovely grounds and pool. Relaxing and pristine.

My favorite place on the east end! Been coming here my entire life, good people and great food! Get the corned beef hash if they have it, you’ll become a regular

Our family has been coming here for 3 generations — and the service and quality have stayed exceptional. The breakfasts are very generous and delicious with lots of good daily specials. It;s great that they put a coffee carraf at the table so you always have hot coffee! The prices are worth every penny.

Every time I have guests in town, we struggle to find a nice sit-​down place for breakfast. But I am so glad I ran into this spot!
We came here since my friends were staying at the hotel, and a guest commented on the breakfast. I had a huge breakfast with pancakes, eggs, fruits, and biscuits. The pancakes were fluffy, the eggs were delicious, and the fruits were so fresh! Oh the orange juice was actually freshly squeezed!
If you are in need of a nice place to have breakfast, this is the place to go! This is not the cheapest place in HB, but it is by far the best breakfast place.

The place is incredible. Can’t say anything bad about it. Stayed there on very short notice, the front desk staff (Colleen in this case) went above and beyond what is normally asked in regards to service. I was in a very stressful situation and she, and some of the other staff, could not have been more helpful.
The room had so much charm, quiet, clean beyond a fault (and you have no concept how picky I am). It was truly delightful and I will be sad to leave. I will definitely recommend to friends, and hope to return. Loved the porch, the safety (single woman stayed by myself) and never had a moment of doubt.
Really really loved it and just stumbled on to it.

Wish I could give this 4.5 stars instead of 4.
Positives: The breakfast, you have got to try it. They leave tables available for their guests, but normally there is a wait for non-​guests. The room we stayed in was well furnished, clean and had a great view. We loved the porch and just being out on the lawn! The staff is very efficient, courteous and helpful. I had a milk emergency for my baby, and they were gracious enough to supply me with a ½ gallon of milk. It’s a ten minute drive to Southampton and Coopers Beach. All great!
Negatives: not many, but I wish they supplied some utensils, tea and coffee in the room. They do give you a carafe of coffee or tea in the morning, but if you have a family with kids, you know that having some plates and utensils is a must. That said, I went to the reception and they gave me what I needed. The beds in out room were full so it was uncomfortable for two people to sleep in the same bed. But the couch was comfortable enough.
We will be back. Thanks for a lovely weekend!

Had the lemon ricotta pancakes with figs and it was amazing. The figs were so fresh and sweet. Only a short wait and the service was fantastic. They know what they’re doing here.

I LOVE this place in Hampton Bays! Been going here forever to enjoy the most wonderful breakfast in the Hampton’s. No frills, just like eating at Grandma’s house. Amazing selection of so many breakfast dishes, and a great brunch menu as well. Make sure you bring your appetite, portions are huge. Fresh brewed coffee is usually a bit on the strong side. French toast and the pancakes are my 2 favorite «carb’s» breakfast. Staff is always nice and attentive, that’s why this place has been around for such a long time.
Keep up the great work!

Love love love the Hampton Maid for breakfast! This cozy, no-​frills, little restaurant is our favorite way to spend lazy mornings in the Hamptons. They have the traditional breakfast fixins from omelets to pancakes and French Toast, and they don’t skimp on the portions! They have both indoor and patio seating, plenty of parking and while the service isn’t as warm and fuzzy as you’d expect, they get the job done and are pretty quick.
Pancakes are light and fluffy, omelets are topped with lots of melty gooey cheese and cooked beautifully, potatoes nicely seasoned, but only one complaint… they don’t have real hot sauce… And by real, I mean those trusted, bottled Mexican go-to’s like Cholula or Tapatio. Shame. The weird, spicy mango concoction in those curios bottles is a sad, white person’s attempt and not even close. Oh well, they’ve got the other important things down. Love the Maid. (Yep, I’m calling it that now.)

What a charming little place to grab a reasonably priced brunch in the Hamptons!
I try to stop into the Hampton Maid whenever I am in town and craving a pile of well-​prepared but unfancy breakfast. It is a downright charming restaurant, and I think the staff has been all the same people for years. The waits for tables during summer weekend mornings are expectedly arduous. However, stopping in on a weekday or during the offseason usually gets you seated promptly. They brew great coffee, cook eggs to specifications, fill omelets with delicious fresh ingredients, and turn a pretty perfect pancake.
All of these things should be par for the course at any brunch establishment, but The Hampton Maid has the unique distinction of never getting any of them wrong.

New Yorkers escape to the Hamptons on those hot and humid summer weekends — the season starting with Memorial Day, which is exactly when we hit the Hamptons, too.
When searching for a place to stay I stumbled upon the Hampton Maid and was immediately taken by their website and the easy online reservation system — no frills, no hidden extras, at a good cost. Easy peasy. A few days prior to arrival I received a reminder on first-​name basis and «looking forward to having you» which I found extremely nice.
We had no trouble finding the place — directly on Montauk Highway, but set back from the road so not noisy, as one would think.
Check-​in was — again — easy peasy, with the lovely lady explaining that breakfast would be getting busy (Memorial Day…) so we should call ahead as they take walk-​ins and do not like to have their guests wait. Also, there would be complimentary tea or coffee to take away from the office in the morning.
We found our room to be overlooking the garden and pool, with an original windmill next door where one could also stay.
The bed was an amazing, huge four poster, the room itself clean and cosy, with large bathroom and shower, and a nice balcony.
Breakfast the next morning went exactly as predicted: we were told that we could come down in 15 mins. As my morning run went on a bit longer we actually came down 30 mins later — enjoyed a very friendly welcome and were shown to our table immediately. This is something I am not used to — in Germany one would be scolded, first and foremost — for not arriving on time.
The breakfast menu was brunch — as it was Memorial Day — so the normal breakfast menu did not apply. Brunch was your breakfast platter of your choice with berries or watermelon salad and hot drinks. Amazing pancakes, very friendly service… heaven. I subsequently had pancakes each morning for the rest of our stay (mango pancakes or wild main blueberry pancakes… please take me back…) and was grateful for my beautiful jogging path on the beach each morning ;-))
If you are looking for last minute presents the motel also features a gift shop with something for everyone — to take the beach back home…
Can only highly recommend the Hampton Maid and will be back!

The Hampton Maid is AWESOME at a VERY GOOD PRICE…
The rooms are spacious — very clean — and comfortable — with a fridge and mini sink. The beds are clean and comfortable. The cleaning staff is very sweet and nice.
The front office staff is very helpful, polite, and kind.
The property and grounds are so beautiful — The pool is a descent size… and very clean — it is open 24 hours
Now let’s talk about the Breakfast that is served at the Hampton Maid — oh Man the breakfast is fresh and light — I enjoyed my breakfast at the Hampton Maid — so good and light — I loved it. Also all the locals it at the restaurant for breakfast from 7pm to 1pm.

I came to this adorable «motel» (seems more like a bed and breakfast to me) for breakfast one day during a Southampton excursion. i got the breakfast special which included a little bit of everything-​eggs any way, bacon, pancakes. Good price for the amount they give you, but nothing I couldn’t make at home.
A cute place to stop if you’re looking for somewhere to eat, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here.

You’d be hard pressed to find a better breakfast than the ones cooked up every summer morning at the Maid.
While pricey, the quality of the food makes it well worth it. Expect a full house if you come later in the morning, but they open super early, so get there as soon as you can.
Their cinnamon french toast is to die for, as are their perfectly seasoned home fries. Service is always friendly and attentive.
They have a touristy gift shop with some amusing and unexpected items. I can’t speak for the hotel element — in all my years in HB, I’ve never seen a room, or even known anyone who’s stayed here …
The Maid is definitely worth a visit if you’re cruising through the Hamptons, looking for some solid eats.
