Shepherd's Pie
Josiah D.

Had a surprisingly lively stop in at Kitty Murtagh's on a Wednesday night. We were greeted by a great wait staff who took our drink orders. Drinks/food were reasonably priced. The cherry-on-top of the experience was the little Irish music group that happened to be meeting while we were there; they really made this a unique experience and we stayed longer (and ordered extra drinks/food) than we expected just to listen. We ordered the Shephards Pie to share... it was really tasty! We will be back!

Our trip to Nantucket was interesting to say the least. After we walked up & down the pretty streets, we decided to venture away from the hub of downtown and the tourists and meandered through lots of pretty streets we happened upon this Irish pub/ restaurant. Heaven.... So as an Irish person, I am always dubious of the "Irish Pub" scenario here in the US. Today did not disappoint. The pub is large (much larger than most at home) but it was fabulous. Every aspect of the decor was nailed to a T. I loved it here. We sat at the bar, it was super quiet and we had the bar man all to ourselves. We ordered an Irish Breakfast Clam Chowder, Fries with curry sauce... ALL OF IT WAS OUTSTANDING!! Well done to everyone and especially the chef. It was just like home. It actually made me homesick to be honest. So if you are ever in Nantucket seek this hidden gem out. It's about a 30 minute walk from the ferry area and worth every step. Of course you can always call a cab or get an über!

I usually eat at Kitty's about every 10 days. The food is good, the price is reasonable, and because it is located out of town parking is usually not a problem. You've GOT to try the pork schnitzel. I don't even like pork, but this version is great! UPDATE: I happened to be looking at my Yelp reviews and noticed my Kitty's review from 8 years ago. I almost hate to post this here (because I do not want them to be come tooooo popular! LOL) .....but.....Kitty's continues to be one of my go to restaurants on Nantucket. They never disappoint!

Burger and beer. A complete meal.

Kitty's won my heart today and all they had to do was serve me a good sandwich. The first visit here I got a burger. Good, but not the best I've had. On a whim, I decided to stop in again and try something new. Every place deserves a second visit before I pass judgement, and considering the lack of cheap options on the island, i have to. Ordered a French dip with Swiss on sourdough with a house salad and house made Au jus. And the skies opened up, the angels sang, and I uttered a hallelujah when I took my first bite. Good. So good I considered getting another to have for dinner. The bread was toasted perfectly, the beef tender, the Swiss a great addition... We don't have enough time to talk about why I loved this sandwich. The ultimate is the fact that my wallet didn't weep when the bill came. $11.77 after tax and a decent portion for the price. If you've gathered anything from looking at my page, you know I eat out a lot. So if the food doesn't hook me, I won't return. Kitty's did a great job hooking me. For life. I guess some people come to Kitty's for the down home, neighborhood bar feel. Really, I don't go to any place for that "Cheers" feeling, but if you're looking for that, it can be found here. I'll be back! I'll even do the unthinkable and try something different.

Shepherd's pie, yum!

Lunchtime portions were generous! Had the seafood pie, filled with salmon, scallops, shrimp. For what you got, it was a bargain.

My experience with Irish pubs is long and diverse, so I had to try this new one. I gave it plenty…read moreof time to settle in. Still it's hard to say anything positive. Well, fparking and access are good. The name is cute. The tables and chairs were clean. It may be the loudest room I have ever tried to eat in. I usually don't like big tvs everywhere, but since conversations were impossible, I read the screen through dinner. The meat was okay. Although serving size was inconsistent. The mashed potatoes looked like they had been on the plate long enough to form a skin. They were very pasty. Vegetables were canned and not rinsed of the canning liquid. So they were slimy with a garbage like smell. We were given a bread plate but no bread or roll or butter. They stock a lot of beers which seem a little higher priced than other area places. The bath room was okay if you don't touch the rusty waste basket. It had more of the pub decor-wooden ad signs screwed to the wall. There was a toilet, sink and very thin toilet paper. As others have mentioned, service was slow. If we could have chatted,I might have noticed less. Our waitress was very pleasant.

We arrived before 6 pm and were seated promptly! The staff were friendly and helpful! The Pub…read moreatmosphere is nice and on Tuesday they had live music- which was very nice!

Actually shocked to see this place with only 3 stars on here. It's one of the best restaurants…read morewe've been to on the island in our multiple trips to Nantucket. In my opinion, easily a top 5 restaurant on the island. The menu has so many items I wanted to try that I'm definitely going to need to go back! The menu has great variety ranging from sushi, to pastas, to steak. So many good starter options- we had the Town roll, tuna tar tar, and the mussels (red sauce). All 3 were excellent! We then shared the shrimp scampi... Also excellent! A person seated next to us had the Bolognese and it looked amazing as well. Our server was knowledgeable and efficient. Seemed like a good guy although he could have been a bit more personable. The place was very busy and he was working hard so it's totally understandable. Will absolutely go back to Town every time we visit Nantucket.

He told us he had been watching "spritz videos" and wanted to try to make the "spritz of the day" he had just watched. So we agreed. It had a lot of herbs in (wish i paid more attention to what was in it) we got to talking with other customers and the bartender. He had spent some time in iowa playing hockey. The women's bathroom had a large door that spung open, a waiter opened it for me as I approached, definitely made me feel important. We were just there for a drink before our dinner plans so we settled up and went on our way.

The portions here are huge. We tried a few different breakfast dishes, including the Irish breakfast and a potato cake Benedict. Everything was hearty, filling, and came out looking great. I especially liked the potato cakes. Crispy on the outside and a nice change from the usual English muffin you get with eggs Benedict. The Irish breakfast is definitely the move if you want to try a little bit of everything. You get eggs, multiple meats, toast, and plenty of food to keep you full for most of the day. Overall, great food, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere that feels different from your typical breakfast spot. Definitely worth checking out if you're on the Cape.

His brisket was outstanding! And the Guinness mustard... I could drink it! His eggs were fluffy and cooked perfectly. My dish was fantastic. The Irish sausage was my favorite thing. The eggs were cooked perfectly and everything was flavorful. We would definitely come back!
