The Aquinnah Shop Restaurant

Absolutely stunning views! Fabulous deck overlooking the cliffs and spectacular sunset spot. Lobster rolls, cocktails and beers, and the best soft serve we could find.

Lobster rolls!

After waiting in line at the window for over 20 minutes and it finally being my turn to order. They put a sign out WINDOW CLOSED! I had 4 hungry kids waiting for lunch. The girl at the window was sweet she said we are having technical difficulties. I told her I just want 4 orders of chicken tenders and I can pay with cash just write the order down the old fashion way. No way some nasty person yelled from cooking area. I thought it would be a nice day to have lunch at the beautiful cliffs and lighthouse. The shops were lovely, and the kids loved the cliffs and lighthouse. Next time I will pack a lunch, the Aquinnah Shop very unreliable.

Perfect spot to visit. The views are terrific. The lighthouse, the shops and the restaurant we excellent. Parking can be tough, but it worked out. The stuffed Quahog was perfect, so was the other items.

My biggest complaint is being asked to tip before you learn you have to pick up your own drinks and food….. they should tip me! The halibut was excellent and perhaps the best I’ve ever eaten. White and firm it was great! Unfortunately it was served in a plastic container….. the view helped. Overpriced but excellent fish in a unique setting.

The lobster roll was delicious! Perfectly seasoned. The beet salad was HUGE. The views were iconic. Everyone was so kind and the service was excellent. I will definitely be recommending this place.

Good food, a little pricey, but there's not much else out here for options. Great view while you eat. At this time, there are no servers - you order at a window and then pick up your food and sit inside or out. Nice people!

The restaurant is ok..not super fine dining but all the food is pretty good. The reason to come is for the view! It is spectacular! Long drive for Martha's Vineyard but worth it. And a giant plus...at the farthest point on MV...they have an electric car charging station! Love it!

We stopped here for a snack while visiting the cliffs. Due to COVID precautions, the dining room was closed, but you could order at the window and take your food to their outdoor back patio. They did well balancing providing food and service while keeping us all safe, which we greatly appreciated. We ordered clam chowder fritters and a vegetable skewer. Both were on the pricey side, as expected at a tourist spot on Martha's Vineyard, but made for a good light lunch. Our food was ready in about ten minutes, just as they’d quoted us. We sat behind the restaurant to eat and enjoyed a lovely view of the cliffs. The view is great, ocean on three sides! The fritters were a tasty bit of fried, especially nice with a squeeze of lemon. The vegetable skewers were well seasoned and had lots of tasty zucchini. Also, we enjoyed the treat of nature coming to us – catbirds investigated our end of the patio and posed nicely by our table. Overall, this is a good option if you want a break and a snack at Aquinnah Cliffs.

Best clam chowder and stuffed quahog on the planet! Lobster croquettes and lobster mashed potatoes were also incredible.

Best ice cream bargain on the Island. $3 double dip cones and a gorgeous view out back overlooking the Vineyard Sound.

Can't beat this for good food and best view on island.

Ordered a Cesar Salad that was described as coming with anchovies. The salad that arrived to the table was slightly warm, soggy and had one anchovies cut in half in a cross atop the salad. Wouldn’t come here again unless I was absolutely desperate after a long day of exploring the island

I had the swordfish burger, which was absolutely amazing. We were a party of 8, and everything was fabulous! The view is without equal! Almost a 360 degree water view! Next time I'll go for dinner to see the sunset. I couldn't recommend this place more highly.

A surprising find! Tuna tacos were smashing, the spicy fries a nice complement. The vegetable skewers generous, colorful and health-giving. The view was amazing (staff will happily throw up an umbrella to give some welcome shade). And the blubbery and toasted coconut ice cream flavors were a delightful finish!
