Restaurants in Nantucket

“Very homey, love this place”

“Our waitress was fantastic, the food was great, but the hostess couldn’t have been any worse, she was downright nasty and unaccommodating.”

“The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is great. Food drinks are just done to their perfection. It's just cozy inside or outside”

“Great food and cocktails!”

“Favorite casual spot to drink and eat on the island - location is a bit hidden with no clear sign but it’s right in the heart of the historic downtown. Great vibe from the bar tucked under a large tree.”

“So Good! Fun & Casual taco spot in the middle of Nantucket.”

“Unironically my favorite restaurant on the entire island. Everything I’ve ever tried is fantastic, they’re always really fast.

It’s a shame they don’t have any seating but the food is so good, it outweighs everything else. Sit on the curb and enjoy!”

“Beautiful terrace with a view. You can also take a little walk on the deck. Really liked the lobster eggs Benedict. The service was nice and friendly. Thank you Guillermo!”

“The Boat House is the perfect casual dining restaurant on Nantucket. Salads, bowls, burritos, burgers — and an island flair. The people who run the Boat House are loving, kind and generous. Can’t recommend it enough for families and anyone who wants great food. We eat here every time we come to the island and are always happy.”

“Such a friendly and great place for reasonable food. And it’s always good!! Try the turkey reuben or the chicken nachos. It’s a great sports bar kind of place.”

“The best meal we have eaten on the island since las year when we enjoyed another fantastic meal at Languedoc prepared by Chef Nastus.
The food it self was delicious but the presentation was beautiful.
The ambience was relaxing and the service was impeccable.
The bill was reasonable and unlike other restaurants on island it was not price fix or tip added to the bill.
We enjoyed our eating experience at Languedoc.
Thank you”

“I have been going to Nantucket for 30 years and this place has always had great food, friendly service and I always look forward to the piano player.”

“I Do think is the best restaurant in Nantucket soooo good !!! Everyone are nice and food and drinks are amazing”

“Looking for breakfast places on the island can be a challenge. Noticing there's more accommodation outside than there is inside this particular day was raining so the inside was very busy. Very good customer service waited a little bit for fast food noticing the kitchen had an open window so you can see all the activity that was interesting. So I ordered the signature 45th sandwich on sourdough bread eggless cook perfect medium not to runny not too hard bacon was a little overdone cheese could have been a little more they included napkins on the takeaway bag order the hazelnut latte didn't really taste much hazelnut. I guess I'm a snob when it comes to lattes.”

“Perfect, charming hotel
Difficult parking depending on the time of day
On the other hand, avoid the restaurant: extremely overpriced and frankly not good at all
At least for a French palate
The olive oil from the 3 anchovy fillets didn’t even have the color (I live in Nice!)
5 slices of bread on the side with a little butter11$!
Very very disappointing value for money compared to other restaurants on the island
Too bad because the decoration is nice”

“Best coffee around!! Absolutely love how fresh it is!!”

“Great coffee! Fun environment!”

“Literally the best bread EVER.”

“Went with a party of 7, everyone said their meals were excellent. Lobster risotto was the best I’ve had and the halibut was excellent. Service was friendly and on time. Also the hummus was great and you must try the crab dip ! Wedge salad was delicious, fresh and crispy mini iceberg heads that I’ve never had before.”

“Unreal. To have 5star sushi and dumplings followed by bolognese from the Sicilian coast, that rocked. Dairy free bang bang shrimp are gas. Clam chowder amazing.

Dietary restrictions: Plenty and very well marked gluten free, fair free, and nut free options.

Kid-friendliness: We had a one year old in a high chair and they couldn’t have been nicer.”

“A very good place to eat on Nantucket. Nice views if you get one of the harbor-facing tables. The menu is alright but nothing spectacular. Kids are tolerated but not especially welcome. Time limits for your table (if you are dining early) are enforced.

Kid-friendliness: Not great”

“Great food and fine dining”

“Is it the best Ice cream ever? It’s really good, up there with some of the best but mostly it’s the best on the island, hence the very long lines. But they move it along quickly. Try the Crantucket.”

“Ok so kitty’s is the islands local watering hole! Staff is always friendly and working hard to serve!
With an upscale bar menu that has an Irish flair.
Its a great place for a drink with friends or the whole family, big screen tv, pool tables and other good stuff always going on!”

“Just outside of the main area of town you will find the nice and unassuming restaurant. As the name implies it has plenty of delicious seafood plates and many other things to choose from. I went with the fried shrimp which was perfect. Nice and hot on arrival with an excellent crispy batter. The beer was nice and cold on a very hot day when we were there. Staff was friendly and service was on point. If your out for some Nantucket seafood and a cool drink. This spot won't disappoint.”

“Delicious Ice Cream, ask about off the menu cookie sandwiches! Milkshakes are huge and best on island! Great people, great ice cream! Check it out!”

“Always have such a great time. Buck for a shuck is in full effect. Great raw oysters by the dozen. Always my first stop when I get to Nantucket”

“A lot of investors are confused and go into deep research for a trusted and legit platform to trade and invest in. I was also looking for the best one until I read good reviews and recommendations about Mrs kathrine lucas, With her great skill of trading and mining made a good profit for so many in their trade account. I was amazed how happy many investors wrote good comments about her. I contacted her and invested with her with believe and trust just as the way she replied m”

“Awesome We always happy with everything”

“I’ve been enjoying visits to Something Natural for over 35 years since being an intern on Nantucket. Looking forward to seeing friends and family on their visit next week!”

“Downyflake is a beloved, no-frills diner on Nantucket, known for its homestyle breakfast and comfort food. Their fresh, homemade donuts are a local favorite, and the hearty breakfast options like pancakes, omelets, and sandwiches are consistently satisfying. The relaxed, old-school vibe and friendly staff make it feel like a home away from home. It's a great spot for a quick, affordable bite, especially for those seeking a classic breakfast or brunch experience on the island. Expect a bit of a wait during busy hours, but the food and cozy atmosphere are worth it.”

“The bartender Carlos and the restaurant manager John were so fun and friendly. They encompass the island vibes and served us with amazing drinks and even better stories.”

“The food is really delicious & the atmosphere is really fun.”

“SnACKle - not only a great name but service to match! I needed catering for a fishing trip leaving from the Straight Wharf. It doesn't get more convenient than SnACKle. I ordered a charcuterie board, beverages, snacks which were packaged and ready to go when I arrived for the pick up. The smaller of the boards was the perfect size for 6 people on a fishing boat with limited space. The owners of SnACKle (I just love that name) are dedicated to making it a great experience and are so helpful. Thank you SnACKle - I'll be back!!!”

“Went for Dinner during Christmas Stroll weekend, Both the meal and service were exceptional.”

“The kit was really good and adding items from the fridge made it fun❣️”

“Great food and laid back atmosphere. We were here for dinner twice this the weekend and may be back for breakfast before we leave tomorrow. I prefer fish and veg, and the salmon and salads are fantastic with a good veggie option for dinner.

Vegetarian options: They have salads and a vegetarian entree.”

“Great food and staff. Thumbs up”

“With beautiful heated outdoor seating, fabulous creative drinks, delicious food, and excellent service, we’ve added this to our summer list—one of my favorite dining experiences on Nantucket.”

“Delicious! Lobster salad was so fresh. Great beer.”

“What a GEM of a place. My pictures do not do this food any justice ? We learned of Oran Mor from a ‘local’ that went on and on about how great the food was and boy was he right! The food here is out of this world good. Restaurant is warm and inviting. The bartender was filling in for someone on vacation and she was just sweet as could be. Next time we are in Nantucket my husband and I are beelining it to Oran Mor for that Truffle Buccatini. O.M.G”

“We love the food and the vibe at Slip 14! It’s so nice to have an excellent but casual restaurant on the water. Teddy makes the BEST Bloody Mary’s we have ever had! The energy is so great with Teddy’s personal playlist on Spotify, football or golf on the TV. Between Teddy, Brennan and Timmy they are a fun tag team welcoming everyone that walks in. Between the 3 of them at lunch on Sunday Funday you can’t miss having a great time. We loved the scallop roll which is so unique, smash burger and the fish tacos. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Outstanding. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome and every member of staff we encountered was excellent. Food is incredible, hummus, broccoli, potatoes, lamb and the lemon meringue pie ice cream - all very memorable. Dishes as unique as the plates they arrive on. Drinks were excellent, too. Can’t recommend this spot highly enough. Almost opposite experience to what we had at Ventuno the night before.”

“We went here for a birthday dinner and everything was remarkable. They were able to get us in without a reservation and treated us SO well. Stephanie was so lovely and recommended the most amazing dishes. The food here was absolutely amazing, and I’ll be thinking about the Brussels sprouts and kale salad for a while. Would totally go again!”

“We had the best ice cream at Yummy. They made the most wonderful homemade waffles - we Are definitely coming back for more”

“Crab Rangoon is a must and the sushi well….try it all its amazing! Ask the bartender for a margarita with mezcal. Yummmmy! See you this weekend!”

“The best sushi served by the most fun chef! The food is just fabulous! The only place that offers Japanese Cuisine! Love everything I have eaten here!”

“Drinks are always delish & the staff is amazing!”

“Wonderful food & location”

“My friends and I stumbled in here one night on my bachelorette and loved it so much, we came back the next day! It's such a cool location right on the water. Both times we sat on the bar and just ordered drinks and oysters, and we loved watching them shuck the oysters behind the bar! I gave 4 stars just because it is quite loud and packed inside, but if you don't mind being a little patient and squeezing in at the bar, it's worth it!”

“Always glad to have Millie’s down the road”

“A very nice surprise to schedule a maiden voyage to Lola41. Hip vibes. Great kitchen x2. Table service A+. Topped off with intersecting bold and unusual flavors. Congrats.”

“Yummy drinks and great atmosphere.”

“I just had the best 70th birthday dinner here! Chef Joseph created a delicious menu and paired wines. The Company Popovers accompanied a crisp Caesar salad, Wagyu beef and a lobster tail with smashed potatoes & broccolini was the entree, rounded out with “The Marriage of Crème Brûlée + Chocolate Mousse” and Dows Fine Sherry Port. The service was spectacular (thank you Johnny) and the intimate and cozy atmosphere made for a wonderful experience for my party of 10. I recommend this place for a singular and memorable experience!”

“Seriously the best quesadilla. The steak is marinated and cooked to perfection. Complete satisfaction. Chips are crisp and yummy, salsa has a lime twist to it. Enjoying my experience. 10/10”

“Everything here is absolutely delicious! Anna served us delicious coffee/slushie. Buddy's Buffalo Chicken sandwich and the Grilled 3 Cheese was amazing! Perfectly hit the spot!”

“Okay so this starts out rough but ends amazing, really hard location to find it's near an elementary school and inside a ice skating rink Pete is the owner spoke to him he's been there for 15 years I had a soup and pan Thai chicken the chicken was the best I've ever had the soup had a little too much coconut oil and it was a little too runny would have enjoyed it better if it was heavier consistency owner is from Thailand so it's authentic food noticed most of the chefs were ladies if you want authentic food check him out I'm headed to Thailand in November so I will have some sort of contrast to see on Thai food”

“Small little takeout not dine in food is so authentic I had the panty chicken it was absolutely delicious. They know what they're doing there nine people were on staff the cashier was very nice greeted me with a huge smile. They offer Bobo they make their own ice cream they make all their food authentic from Thailand one of the owners mentioned that she goes there every year just to make sure things are running well that is Thailand. This is definitely authentic Thai food hard to find on a remote island. I noticed they had several Awards and they also are all up to date with ServSafe My thumbs are up for this particular restaurant I will be back to try more of their food????”

“The cute refurbished home is a great Italian restaurant on the island. 10/10 recommend. The food was delicious and fresh. Put this place on your list of places to eat at when you’re visiting the island.”

“Branded as infamous for good reason. There’s really nothing like a quality band playing at the box after a beautiful day at the beach, there’s no better venue I’ve been to rock out to close out a perfect day”

“Definitely try the chocolate waffle cones with any number of the delicious ice cream flavors!”

“I have been going to Nantucket for years and finally found Island Kitchen this past August; one of the best meals to be had on the island. We ate outside by the bar and despite a bit of rainy weather; we throughly enjoyed the atmosphere and cuisine; the service was excellent and we have earmarked a return visit this August.”

“This is not Karen this is Kenny B and this there is no finer place to be, I've Been Everywhere Man cross the mountain bear man breathed the Mountain Air man and there is no finer unless you're deep in a? Well you know, in the morning? Top Notch nothing but the best all around and Sam loves it too, my place also has a bartenderess named Sam what could be better, and as a bartenderess I have never met feiner and I have been around for those who don't know me, I'm not only an old hippie that don't know what to do but I've spent some time on both sides of the bar and she is Bar None Stellar personal service and you don't find that much no more oh, that's all I have to say about that, you will have to make your own decisions Beyond this report”

“Cinnamon buns were all they have been cracked up to be!!”

“I'm Italian living in Italy and after spending a week in Nantucket with local food at the end of September I felt the urge to have a nice pizza and this is the place to be!

Crunchy, tasty and delicious! ???

Bravi ragazzi! ??”

“No frills pizza spot but this is the closest to "NYC style" pizza on the island. Cash only if you go in person but you can pay via cc if you order for pick up online. Toppings are expensive and aren't the best quality (ex. canned mushrooms) but that won't stop me from ordering a plain pizza when the craving hits.”

“I frequent this place on my day off just for little odds and ends, sometimes a slice of pizza here and there. First time ordering a burger and some fries and honestly, pretty decent foe the price out here. The stuff they have in the warmer around lunch ain't half bad too (decent pepper chicken with some fried rice) I appreciate this little place.”

“This is our “go to” pizza on Nantucket. By far the best crust anywhere. All toppings are generous and a large pizza is huge.”

“I chose to eat at a table, but I wish I would have specified the bar in order to watch the chefs at work! I'm returning home today. If I had gone to Black Eyed Susan's earlier...I would have made a second trip.”

“Love it there! Fun atmosphere”

“My second dining experience at Shangri-La! Excellent service and food! Great menu!”

“Sat at the bar with Andrej, who is a gem. His drinks are top notch and he’s just a nice guy in general.

The fluke was fantastic, all the drinks were amazing, but the standout was the sticky pudding. It was absolutely incredible. Order it, just do it. Andrej tried to be subtle about his suggestion but it was obvious he knew we’d love it. It’s so good. So good.”

“the very best sandwiches on Nantucket. The new specials..... mmmmmm the tastiest things ever !!!”

“The service was great and the food was delicious.”

“A must go to while on Nantucket!”

“Amazing food and sunsets!”

“The 4 star review is for the staff. They work tirelessly and their efforts are appreciated. Despite a busy weekend holiday, staff really made the lines flow out quickly and efficiently.

Now to the beer. I must say I was dissapointed. It could not be my style of beer but I did notice the quality of cisco consistently falls sideways as they continue regional expansion, even their classics are somewhat unrecognizable nowadays. Fortunately for them they have branded themselves so well--most will equate it with Cape/Island Beach Beer..If you are a big IPA drinker, I can see the hype, but if you enjoy lagers and ales I'd skip wholeheartedly....

Overall, Cisco has a fantastic setup, I just thought the beer would be better.”
