Located in Southold, The North Fork Shack has built a reputation as a standout casual dining spot that brings together bold, global flavors and locally sourced ingredients. What started as a small, creative concept has evolved into a go-to destination for those looking for elevated comfort food in a relaxed setting.
The restaurant is led by chef and co-owner Samy Sabil, whose path into the culinary world was anything but traditional. Originally from Morocco, Sabil developed his skills through hands-on experience, working his way up in the hospitality industry and eventually earning a sommelier certification. His approach to cooking is deeply influenced by travel, drawing inspiration from cuisines across Europe, North Africa and beyond.
That global perspective is reflected throughout the menu. While the Shack is known for staples like its fried chicken sandwich, lamb on pita and fresh seafood options, the offerings often shift to include dishes inspired by Sabil’s travels. Specials may range from Thai-inspired curries to Mediterranean flavors, giving the menu a constantly evolving and creative edge.
At its core, the North Fork Shack remains rooted in the region. Ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible, and the menu highlights the seasonal bounty of the East End. The result is a balance of familiar comfort and unexpected flavor, where each dish feels both approachable and thoughtfully crafted.
The space itself mirrors that philosophy. With a laid-back atmosphere and outdoor seating, it offers a casual experience that still delivers on quality. What began as a small-scale concept has grown into a full dining destination, while still maintaining the charm and simplicity that defines the North Fork.
Blending global inspiration with local ingredients, The North Fork Shack continues to stand out as a place where creativity, community and consistently good food come together.
