The best place on the island for fried seafood!
Avoid the lobster roll. It’s not what you think it will be. Spicy and over-seasoned on a dry hamburger bun. Not fresh and not fooling anyone with the spices. Fresh lobster doesn’t need all that dressing.
Unpleasant while taking and eventually forgot to make our order during non peak time - served a few other customers while we waited patiently, looked at us many times but didn’t bother to connect the dots… paying $75 for a lobster, they should at least remember to make it for their customers :/
Great spot to pickup Lobsters for dinner ?️
Also, really delicious chowder and fried fish sandwich (cod)
One of the best places I ate at on the island.
This place is a seafood market and serves a lot of the restaurants. They also have a kitchen and I enjoyed some fantastic clam chowder as well as a fried oyster sandwich. These were really good. The sandwich came with a bag of cape cod chips. The soup came with Westminster oyster cracker. Also got some steamed little neck clams with butter.
Prices are perhaps the cheapest on the island. ($6 chowder and $19 fried clam sandwich, steamed clams were $12.95)
Staff is friendly.
There's about 3 tables outside on their deck with maybe 6-8 seats for those who wish to eat there. Wait time wasn't bad at all - maybe 10 minutes.
It was not a far walk from the main drag. Would definitely come back again.
Very friendly staff, and calamari was delicious
Swordfish wasn't good. But the clam chowder and coleslaw are both great!
fresh and affordable sea food
They are my go to wintertime whole belly fried clams. Haven’t tried much of their takeout food but I have seen some ordered looks great! the prices are reasonable for Nantucket. Have ordered fresh fish from them and it was delicious. very grateful that they stay open through the winter.
Best food we had on the island! So glad we randomly stopped here toward the end of our bike ride. We got a table fairly easily. If you can’t find a place to sit, order food anyway and figure it out.

Terrible terrible terrible customer service.. need to learn some manners politeness and courtesy ? gosh im appalled. And its all the time every damn time.. .. the good if there is one suffer for the bad.
It's good, got the lobster roll for $35, it's about the size of a quarter pounder hamburger . . .
This place is such a gem. It is extremely causal so if you’re looking for something upscale this isn’t for you. But, if you don’t mind sitting outside and using plastic utensils, I highly suggest checking it out. The seafood is as fresh as it gets- we even saw a huge cooler being brought in while we sat outside and ate. Huge portions, very affordable (was shocked to find this on Nantucket), and the employees were lovely. Pictured are fish & chips, which comes with three large pieces of fish, a good amount of crispy fries, side of coleslaw, AND a cup of delicious clam chowder. Can’t wait to go back.
Usually an extremely patient person, but unfortunately the attitude of the lady at the front was horrible and made us get up and leave. As soon as we arrived an elderly couple who was eating finished their meal and got up— immediately and abrasively, she stopped talking to us ran after them and told them to throw their own food away. We were taken aback but didn’t think much of it, told her we would like to order calamari and oysters. She said the oysters would take “a long time” with no estimate, then said calamari could take up to an hour. We asked if there was any timing to expect on the oysters in the interim, and were told “i can’t give you an estimate. As soon as someone’s hands are free they will get to it”. She said if you want any other fried food it will take over an hour.Come on.. just awful service. There were more employees behind the counter than there were customers, perhaps unfortunately just reached them on a bad day but the customer service was atrocious.Ended up going to CRU and perhaps paid more but the food was incredible and the service even better.
The food is AMAZING but the employees are a bit rude, it’s worth the wait though!
