Slo Jacks or Slo's as locals call it, is a dream come true. Its anything but your typical Hamptons food joint with long lines, obnoxious customers, and even more obnoxious prices. Located off Old Montauk Highway equidistant between East Quogue and Southampton, it offers a whole host of wonderful items including Mexican Food, mini golf, a surf shop, and a Pac-Man machine. Slo's menu is appropriately inlaid into the fiberglass of a surfboard that hangs above the front counter. FYI, The cheese quesadilla is to die for. Can you think of a better way to spend a first date than a root beer float and a round of mini golf?

Pictures of the entire Slo's gallery can be found HERE.
