The Surf Lodge, a well-known celebrity hotspot in Montauk, Long Island, has partnered with Popeyes to offer an ‘elevated’ dining experience featuring a $150 chicken tender tower. This collaboration marks a unique fusion of Popeyes’ Louisiana-style cuisine with the upscale atmosphere of The Surf Lodge.

Celebrity Appeal and Culinary Innovation

The Surf Lodge, which functions as a hotel, restaurant, and live music venue, has attracted celebrities such as Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Leonardo DiCaprio. The venue’s chicken tender tower, previously a cult favorite, now features Popeyes’ hand-breaded, crispy Louisiana chicken tenders, served with a variety of dipping sauces.

Popeyes’ Chief Marketing Officer for North America, Matt Rubin, expressed excitement about the partnership, highlighting the blend of great music, culture, and craveable food that the collaboration brings. The tower is expected to be a popular feature this summer, with Popeyes predicting it will become ‘the most-photographed food moment of the summer.’

Summer Concert Series and Exclusive Offerings

The Surf Lodge’s summer concert series, running through Labor Day, will feature big-name acts like Snoop Dogg and Teddy Swims, enhancing the venue’s vibrant social scene. Popeyes will also introduce signature menu launches and exclusive merchandise throughout the summer, further enriching the guest experience.

Jayma Cardoso, founder and creative director of The Surf Lodge, described the partnership as ‘iconic,’ emphasizing how it enhances the venue’s unique appeal. The collaboration not only elevates the dining experience but also aligns with The Surf Lodge’s premium hospitality standards.

Since its opening in 2008, The Surf Lodge has expanded its reach, including the establishment of The Snow Lodge in Aspen, Colorado. The venue’s chicken tender tower has gained popularity beyond Montauk, becoming a signature item and a social media sensation.
