So glad we found it ... on a very calm street... close to the park very little car traffic going by the outdoor patio! The staff greeted us warmly... welcomed our pup and seated us within minutes! A server greeted us instantly and took our drink order and even asked if we needed a nice fresh bowl of water for our puppy!! Extra Points just for acknowledging the fur-babies!! The lunch menu has an exceptional selection of seafood, fish, chicken and even a few beef dishes!! We ordered and the food was out hot and fresh within 10 minutes!! They even grilled a plain /no salt breast of chicken for our puppy too! Everything was delicious!! The fries that accompanied the sandwiches were out of this world! Usually never finish even half our fries but these were so good we finished one small bucket and nearly all of the second !! Definitely worth a try - casual, relaxing and delicious!!

I got a chance to talk with Mrs. Sue and you can tell she loves what she does. She's truly curated an experience. The owners lead by example. They are truly hands on to make sure you have excellent, fresh, hot, flavorful food and quick and friendly service. The fresh cut fries were definitely not out of bag! You can tell by the freshness ! I'm so glad I stopped by here. You can truly tell this is a family restaurant. Operated by love and you can feel it when you walk in! It was so good I had to come back! The ribs were so tender! Fall off the bone! Great flavor! The potato au gratin was crispy and good! The hot honey wings were amazing!! The flavor was perfect, no notes! I love this place!

I typically do not believe in waiting that long for food, but Lookout Tavern got me with this one. The lobster roll was AMAZING. The lobster was juicy, fresh, and plentiful--they are not playing around with the portions. You get these huge lumps of claw meat, and the toasted bun was perfect. Honestly, this lobster roll and a nice drink are all you need for the day. I could literally eat here every day I'm on the island. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice, especially during the summer. Just know that if you're visiting Martha's Vineyard during peak season, the wait can be LONG. We waited more than an hour, so plan accordingly. Would I normally wait an hour for a lobster roll? Absolutely not. Would I do it again for this one? Yep. HIGHLY recommend.

This isn't pretty, however the wait staff and manager handled it beautifully…read more Immediately upon entering you'll realize, it's LOUD. But hey, you're on Circuit Ave in Oak Bluffs. The next thing you'll notice is that the staff is very friendly and really trying to manage the chaos that is being caused by a chaotic kitchen. We were seated directly in-front of the kitchen, so we saw everything: - two or three wait staff anxiously waiting for orders in front of the service station (pick-up) area; - a chef continually looking at an inappropriate movie that was playing on a screen that was oddly positioned where the kitchen staff could view it (WHY) - a kitchen staff that was either doing nothing or working frantically - this is an indication of very poor management; - mediocre appetizers but passable - the entrées were ridiculously poor. I'll only describe mine to save time, but trust each of four were failures. The nerve to send to the table a beautiful piece of blue fin tuna that smelled like the gas used by a small propane gun, that had been partially burned - like on 1/2 of the fish. This shows zero respect for this beautiful creature or the people who ordered it. The lobster risotto that was beneath the fish was cold, lacked any flavor of lobster, and looked as though it had been thrown on the plate from across the room, and then to have the nerve to charge $60 + dollars is ridiculous. We of course requested to speak with the manager, who immediately came to our table, empathized and apologized, we felt heard. He then comped our entire meal which was very generous and appreciated. The chef then came over to apologize, and stated, "I'm so sorry, we dropped a pan and that threw everything off". WHAT? Buddy, we sat there and watched the chaos in your kitchen. The problemS, are not the result of a dropped pan. Apology appreciated, lame excuse was unnecessary and again demonstrated a lack of respect or intelligence. I may return alone, just to see if anything has changed or what show is on the TV.

I was able to order a drink and lunch in which both arrived promptly. The Mahi sandwich was fresh and the fries were crispy. It was the perfect lunch portion. I visited again during my stay on the island for lunch and chose to be seated in the interior of the restaurant which was very clean and had a great view of the dock and boats going by. The staff were very courteous. My lunch companion had the lobster roll which she said tasted fresh, was packed full of lobster and had a buttery toasted roll. I would definitely visit again because it was easy to be seated even on crowded days, the lively atmosphere and consistently good food. $$ There is limited street parking nearby

On this episode of eating my way through Martha's Vineyard, we stopped at Square Rigger, one of the…read moreisland's well-known staples. All I wanted that day was some fried shrimp and clam strips -- and for me, the strips are key because they skip the extra parts you get with whole clams. Unfortunately, they were out of clam strips, so we went with fried shrimp, fries, and lobster bisque. Since I had to share with my wife, I asked for extra shrimp -- but heads up, it's $3 per shrimp. Not complaining, just letting you know. The lobster bisque came out hot and creamy, but I was hoping for a bit more depth of flavor and a little more lobster meat and a little less bisque. The shrimp were tasty and fried well, but personally, I prefer mine butterflied for that extra texture and presentation. What stood out most, though, was the service. Friendly, quick, and attentive, which matters a lot when you're trying a local favorite. Overall, Square Rigger delivers a solid experience, but I left wishing for just a little more -- especially when you're at a place with that kind of reputation. Verdict: Good shrimp, great service, but I'll be back hoping for those clam strips next time.

My family and I live in Arizona. When we called to make a reservation. We called at…read more5pm(AZ)/8pm(EST) on Friday several weeks before our visit. A member of the family had requested this location for her birthday dinner. The person who answered the phone "Idk. It's Friday night. I don't have time for this. It's busy." This should have been our first red flag. A separate conversation and call at another time, the GM asked over the phone if we'd like a cake or something special brought in. Very thoughtful. "Yeah we'd love that! Thank you!" When we arrived at our reservation time, the table had to be rearranged while the party waited. Our party was 8 people. When we inquired about the cake, no one present had any idea what we were talking about. They kindly offered to put a sampler dish together which we accepted but all other food and drink took so long, we cancelled it because we just wanted ultimately just wanted to leave. This is a steak house. A few people at the table ordered steaks with a medium center. Plates were brought out and we were advised the steaks had a medium. Every single steak was completely grey inside(well done). There was not a spot of pink inside. We didn't ask for a replacement steak, we just let them know so they would be aware for future steaks and someone else's future steak! We didn't bother asking for the replacement steak because it already took incredibly long for us to get our food and we were hungry. The waitress never apologized. She didn't look like she wanted to be there and was awkwardly hovering between the 2 tables they had filled. Two new steaks were brought out which we thought was nice but it was also suspiciously fast considering our previous long wait. We cut into the new steaks, almost completely raw. There was a man that poured water for us when we sat. He was the only one that looked like he enjoyed working there and showed any real customer service. The menu says 8oz sirloin and instead you get a 10oz New York strip. A larger piece sounds good but it's not what we asked for when we were ordering our food. If you're going to serve a different cut and size, why would you not change your menu? Or at least let customers know when ordering. Drinks were HEAVY. Can't complain about the quality of liquor. The drinks would be put on the table and take almost 10 minutes to get the next drink. The bartender was kind a remixed one of our drinks when we asked to sweeten it. Just wish drinks came out faster. The other food was great! We had pastas, salmon, vegetables, and mashed potatoes. They were very tasty. If the service, and steaks were better, this place would be recommended as it had beautiful flavor. The steak would have been perfect too if they knew how to cook it!
