The story
Round Swamp Farm walks the line between working farm and high-end Hamptons market, earning a 3.8-star average for its undeniably fresh produce and prepared foods—but at a price that even locals find steep. As creator Jack's Dining Room put it, the store offers “incredibly fresh prepared foods at exorbitant prices—some items are worth it, but many are overpriced and disappointing.”
That mixed verdict plays out in specific dishes. The shrimp cocktail and chicken Caesar salad were “overpriced and disappointing,” according to Jack’s Dining Room. However, the tuna poke bowl—though costly—was “surprisingly good.” Other menu options like lobster salad, buffalo cauliflower bites, and sea salt caramel chocolate chip cookies round out the selection. The takeaway: choose wisely, and the tuna poke bowl is the standout worth the splurge.

Round Swamp Farm's famously pricey $27 granola is the standout, earning raves for its addictive crunch and generous mix-ins. The overall vibe is rustic-chic simplicity, where high-quality ingredients justify the splurge.
“This tiny thing of lobster salad is $48 — that's three bites. It should be illegal. An entire lobster isn't even $48, so how can a smaller lobster salad with mayonnaise be $48? The math is not adding up. It's fine, literally lobster with mayonnaise, but not $48 good. The lobster is fresh, but for $48 I'm expecting my mind to be blown off. It's just a standard piece of lobster with some seasoning. Not worth it.”
“It's low-key delicious but by no means is it $56 good. That's crazy.”

Lobster Salad
This tiny thing of lobster salad is $48 — that's three bites. It should be illegal. An entire lobster isn't even $48, so how can a smaller lobster salad with mayonnaise be $48? The math is not adding up. It's fine, literally lobster with mayonnaise, but not $48 good. The lobster is fresh, but for $48 I'm expecting my mind to be blown off. It's just a standard piece of lobster with some seasoning. Not worth it.
Chips and Guac
$33 for chips and guac — that's double the price at a restaurant. The chips themselves are $15. This is a corn tortilla, literally corn mixed with water fried in vegetable oil, one of the cheapest things in the world. The guacamole is $18. It's fine. Honestly, I think I make way better guac. For $33, I could make guac for 50 people. The chips are good, but no different than Whole Foods chips. Not worth it.
Blueberries
$16 for blueberries — they better cure cancer. They look pretty large, maybe genetically modified into the Hulk version of blueberries. Unfortunately, they are extremely good. These blueberries are as close to perfect as a blueberry can get. They're plump, hard on the outside, have a crunch, a little sour but sweet at the finish. Delicious. For the average person, no, but if you live in the Hamptons and are worth a billion dollars, yes. They are some of the best blueberries I've ever had. Worth it.
Tuna Poke Bowl
$30 for a tuna poke bowl. There are four or five pieces of tuna, pretty thick. About a quarter of the bowl is filled with a sauce canister, reducing the size — that should not be allowed. But the tuna looks incredibly good, very fresh, sesame crusted. This is honestly one of the better poke bowls I've ever had. I forgive them for hiding the dressing and charging $30 because the quality of the tuna is incredible. Really fresh, love the sesame crust, fresh edamame cucumber salad on the side, and the sauce is so good. My favorite item of the day. Even for $30, they give you a lot of tuna. Absolutely worth it.
Broccoli
$20 for half a cut-up broccoli — at a normal grocery store, a whole head costs $2.50. This broccoli better change my life. It's not even good broccoli. It's lowkey just soggy broccoli for $20. I don't even think I'm going to finish the bite. I feel like I just got robbed. If you buy that broccoli, you're a dumbass. Not worth it.

In the Hamptons trying the most expensive grocery store in the country 📍Round Swamp Farm #hamptons · @ 0:08
Round Swamp Farm is an expensive grocery store in the Hamptons where I tried a $56 lobster salad that was good but not worth the price, chicken tenders that were just fine, and a surprisingly excellent chipotle mayo.
