About Menemsha Galley

The Menemsha Galley is a charming walk-up eatery located in a small fishing village, offering stunning views of the harbor where the movie "Jaws" was filmed. The menu features classic seafood dishes, such as the popular Lobster Roll with a toasted bun and fresh ingredients, as well as a grilled chicken salad. Customers praise the friendly service and the delicious soft-serve ice cream, available in various flavors. The Galley sits at the beginning of the Menemsha Pier, home to many working lobster and fishing boats, ensuring the catch is very fresh. It is a family-owned and operated place that is unpretentious and easy to visit—just order and pay at the front window, then enjoy the view from the multi-table porch or carry out. The lobster roll and New England clam chowder are highly praised, considered some of the best on the planet, with many visitors noting that no other restaurant on the Vineyard matches The Galley for these dishes. It is a great spot for a quick, tasty lunch with gorgeous back views, especially with the windows open for an enjoyable dining experience. The ice cream, while limited in flavor, is a hit with kids, and the location is convenient to Menemsha Beach, though it closes at 8, so arriving early is recommended for ice cream and sunset views.

One bite of my Cod Fish fillet sandwich and I was in heaven. Freshest and sweetest tasting fish sandwich I've ever had. Savored every morsel, wished I had another!

Clam chowder was amazing!!!! One of the best bowls of clam chowder I have had and I grew up coming to Cape Cod every summer.
My husband had the lobster roll and he loved it too.
My kids had a hotdog and hamburger and they both enjoyed their meals.

I am a local, and can honestly say Menemsha Galley offers a great, tasty assortment of food for the price. While they offer a variety of land and sea options, don't get too full - save room for yummy icecream. Dine on the patio or take your food to the beach. You can't go wrong.
