On the…read moreother hand, I am thankful I did not know about it until recently because I would be here all of the time and it would become a problem. Their breakfast was SO good. Home fries need to be spectacular to impress me, and these were truly out of this world. I could eat them every day! I have no complaints about anything on my plate. The scrambled eggs were perfectly prepared (I asked for them well-done) and of course the home fries were the star of the show. My latte was also very good, and these mug it was served in was so cute. I tried a bite of my friend's chocolate chip waffle, which was recommended to us by a coworker who said it was the best on the island. I can't say I have tried any other waffles on the island, but this one was quite delicious and it would be difficult to top it. Even though it was busy late on Saturday morning, my party of two was seated right away. Sure, you're sitting close to the people next to you, but I do not mind. The place is well-decorated and has a pleasantly clean vibe about it. I am looking forward to trying dinner here as well in the near future!

When checking out, we were surprised the prices were higher than our last visit. The barista asked what milk we wanted, so we asked if there was an upcharge for alternative milks. She said no -- then she proceeded to charge us for oat milk. Not a big deal, it just spoils the experience a bit. Will likely be back! The lavender latte was pretty good!

I loved the soup of the day with sourdough bread made by a local Nantucket baker. The Italian wedding soup was delicious and rustic in flavor. The overall presentation leaves a strong impression.

It's a quaint little shop tucked back after you get off the ferry in Nantucket. There are a few tables inside. You order at the front and then someone will bring it to your table.

Sooo good and the portion sizes are big too.

Turkey Terrific, essentially Thanksgiving between two pieces of delicious bread.

Just a nice, artisan dish akin to something you'd get in New Bedford or Fall River. Fantastic. 5-Stars. Now their lobster roll. Imagine a hot dog, OK, and now imagine one of those little Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage links for size comparison. The volume of finely shredded lobster meat, that was also warm in that hot dog roll was smaller than the Jimmy Dean link. 0-Stars. My recommendations for a "good" lobster roll is to go anywhere else on island. I'd recommend Sayle's Seafood, The Nantucket Lobster Trap or Stubby's. In fact, I'd just stay clear of the Club Car altogether, it is one of those places for the self-focused New York / Miami new [vulgar] money jet-set that treat the island like their play-thing... you know, you see their empty beer cans in the morning around town.

And don't sleep on dinner, Club Car turns it up even more, and their steak frites is the best!
