26 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Nantucket

“Have been going here a long time but yesterday my sister had to go to ER due to blood sugar. The staff (and other patrons) were amazing. Stayed calm and called the hospital. Jeff, our waiter, confirmed we should go and packed evening up and even before that stuffed mummies himself with blue cheese. John, the manger, helped us and said the owners called to make sure all was ok. Btw the food and atmosphere is amazing. Going in 55 plus years there. Thank you“

“good food, a bit pricey, to the owner's I would say letting your staff carry around cell phones is a terrible idea. We were never asked if we wanted refills on our drinks, the server was playing on their phone instead of working. You lost an extra $8.00 of business. Just FYI.“

“This cute little cafe is a great vibe and offers excellent service and food. They have affordable prices, not to mention delicious breakfast options as well as wraps and sandwiches. The star of the show in this cafe is the speed and excellent service they offer. One of the best team members they have is Shea who goes above and beyond in all that she does. She once saved a man twice her size from a burning building. Also she volunteers at shelters for animals, and has travelled to various animal sanctuaries in the world where she had a huge part in saving the endangered species known as the African Penguin. Please visit 45 surfside and enjoy great food, great service provided by our hero Shea.“

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

“Have stayed several times and always a great stay. Staff are always friendly and helpful and the rooms are amazing. The bikes are a plus! Great location.“

“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!“

“Several reviews describe the menu as “quaint,” and that’s spot-on. It’s geographically all over the place(French, Mediterranean, and Filipino influences all appeared on the night we dined) but united by one recurring theme: an overwhelmingly heavy hand with peppers and spices.

There are some outstanding dishes. The Washashore Farm tomatoes and peaches were a highlight for all 8 of us. Elsewhere, however, flavors were too often muddled by excessive seasoning. A little restraint would go a long way.

The steak tartare suffered from an unpleasantly chewy, stringy texture. The lumpia (Filipino spring rolls) had the flavor profile of a frozen snack. The fried broccoli was equally meh, although the spicy peanuts finally made sense in the context of that dish. The cavatelli with burrata had promise but was, again, overwhelmed by pepper—an addition that felt completely unnecessary in that dish. The battered fried fluke was OK, but the accompaniments felt incongruous and never came together as a coherent plate.

The desserts (the Guinness cake and lemon sorbet with meringue) continued the theme of simply too much of everything. The lemon sorbet, in particular, managed to be both excessively sour and excessively sweet, to the point of being unpleasant.

Unfortunately, they had already run out of bone marrow by the time of our 8 p.m. dinner, so we weren’t able to try it.“

“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.“

“So nice to have the option to eat outside. Great food and great service as always.“

“Great Food, but proceed with caution regarding the bill

I recently stumbled upon B-ACK Yard BBQ after a quick Google search and decided to take a gamble on it for dinner. I’m glad we did, because the food was genuinely delicious. The burger was absolutely amazing, and the selfie platter was a standout—everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor.

However, the experience wasn’t without its frustrations. First, the menu is extremely confusing. It is not at all clear what comes with your meals versus what are extra add-on sides. The layout is disjointed and really needs a professional redesign to make it easier for customers to understand what they are ordering.

The real issue, however, came at the end of the meal. When we asked for the check, we noticed a major discrepancy: the paper copy of the bill showed one total, but when we looked at the digital tablet, it was charging us about $100 more than what was on the paper bill. It was a shocking discovery to make at the end of a nice night.

I would strongly advise anyone dining here to be extremely careful. Double-check your paper receipt against the tablet before you finalize your payment to ensure you aren’t being overcharged. I do plan on coming back because the food is just that good, but I will be keeping a very close eye on the bill from now on.“

“Best place,best atmosphere,best workers,excellent food and staff! My favorite place always, everyday and any day 🥰🥰🍋‍🟩🥂🍸“

“We stopped by for a quick drink and an appetizer and ended up staying for an entire dinner because everything was so wonderful! The service out on the porch was top-notch. Every dish hit the mark, from the fresh oysters and classic New England lobster roll to the Caesar salad and soup. To top it off, the spicy margarita and Painkiller were absolutely phenomenal.“

“By happenstance, my fiancé and I stopped in for dinner earlier this week! The phenomenal service we received paired with the exquisite halibut and bolognese dishes brought us back a total of three times during our five-day stay on the island.“

“A must go to while on Nantucket!“

“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.“

“Nice little place for a quick meal.“

“I’ve eaten here several times and it always exceeds my expectations. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is very lively. Remind you of a club or restaurant you would see in posh Miami but with the Naples vibe definitely will be back eat outside if you can it’s great.“

“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“

“Nice place for outdoor dining for lunch“

“a stand-out of rustic humility in a sea of nantucket preppy. just two chefs helming the kitchen stage but everything moved seamlessly and calmly throughout a restaurant that felt more like a living room in a cosy home. our souls were exhausted from a day of big blings & gravitas but the flowered napkins & warm hosts soothed us into relaxing along with the gentle laughter of other happy diners.

a simple salad & one of the best clam pastas i’ve ever had brought us back to ground. i left feeling quite emotional. thank you.“

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

“During our time in Nantucket, a local raved about this bakery's "morning bun" to my fiancé! We stopped in the following day and after one bite, as advertised, we tasted the difference.“

“Love it there! Fun atmosphere“

“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.“

“I called on Thursday evening to order 2 pizzas for pickup for the noon ferry on Friday. Pizzas were ready by 11:20 (they open at 11 am). Is it my favorite pizza ever? No, but when you need to feed hungry kids on a slow ferry before a 5 hour+ drive home, having some fresh pizza makes a huge difference. Really appreciated the service and staff. Sturdy plates and napkins were included and I will keep ordering from Steamboat for the excellent service. For anyone complaining about the costs - it's Nantucket. Ingredients are expensive everywhere now and these need to be hauled in on a ferry, so what do you expect?“

“Great for Steak Dinner on Tuesday I love . Good foods Great taste.“
