Quaint place w/a rustic Nantuckety feel. Delish Fish Tacos! Believe it was Halibut & the rice that came on the side complimented the tacos perfectly. The view is not so bad either. Great for a lunch place. Tacos in Nantucket...who knew! read more

Millie's is super accommodating and the waitstaff and servers were extremely friendly. I came here with my boyfriend and his grandfather for dinner. Service was awesome and the food was great. I had the fish tacos and they had the quesadilla and steak taco. All options were tasty, fresh and just right. Another bonus was the fact that we had a fantastic view of Madaket beach from our dinner table. What other way to enjoy dinner than to have it paired with ocean views? Will come again, it's a good dinner spot. read more

Millie's - Taco, quesadilla, taco. :) - Tex-Mex Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

This place is our go to for casual fun with family and friends. Everything is super fresh and the food comes fast, drinks are strong, and the sunset view can't be beaten. I always get the Ceviche (nice citrus with jalapeño bite), Starbucks Road Quesadilla (scallops and sweet corn), and Margarita (ole!) read more

Great location near a beach (and other restaurants). Prices are comparable given the locale (but way too high). Love the off street parking. Indoor and outdoor (picnic tables with service) seating. Menu selection is limited. We ordered 2 taco plates to go. Bartender was nice and quick to assist. They packed all the necessary napkins and utensils. The westender was good but the sauce was very juicy. The rice was different but good. For the price the meal was too small. Most places give 3 tacos. Nope only 2 here. The tuckerman was also good but same complaint as above. read more

Millies is a family favorite! If you can time it right, go for the sunset, it will not disappoint! Some good menu items to try, the Madaket Mystery drink and the 40th Pole and the Starbuck Road quesadillas. For lighter fare, Gibbs Pond salad is delicious and plenty big! read more

Let's take the breath-taking Nantucket scenery, add delicious food and a beach atmosphere and the end result is Millie's. This restaurant is out at Madeket within walking distance of the beach. Well, you're on Nantucket so everything is within walking distance of the beach, but there's something so clubhouse, beach bar about this place. Except where other beach restaurants are slumming serving beer and shrimp tacos, Millie's is providing a culinary treat that surprises the heck out of you. Coworker and I took the bus out and when we got there around 12:30 were able to go in and eat upstairs without any wait. Awesome view of the ocean out the windows! Ordered a few strong drinks and apps. I got the chips and salsa, my friend got the grilled Mexican corn. So. Good. We ordered two different tacos that were both out of this world. The Westender (tilapia and mango salsa) and the Pocomo (braised pork carnitas with pumpkin seed pesto). I'm telling you, it was the perfect mix of flavors in both tacos. Delicious. The price tag was what you'd expect for the beautiful island 30 miles out to sea, but I'd anticipated it so no sticker shock today ($45 a piece with tip and we each got a drink, an app, and a main dish). In its defense, Millie's makes some amazing food so you leave so satisfied you forget your wallet is way lighter. Okay, maybe you don't forget, but the really full belly helps! I'll definitely have to make one more trip before the buses stop running for the season. read more

The one thing I absolutely liked about Millie's was that it had a fantastic location that provided amazing views of the sunset in Madaket. That alone deserves three stars in my opinion, because such a setting is hard to come by. Other than that, there was nothing noteworthy or exceptional about this place. The fish tacos we ordered were mediocre and came out kind of cold, as did the clam chowder. The service was alright; it was hard to grab the attention of our server for water and the cheque - maybe because the place was full, but that shouldn't deter a restaurant from providing top-notch service to their patrons. My main complaint, though, is about the atmosphere. The beautiful views and romantic setting were tainted by the loud and obnoxious crowds filling the group tables surrounding us. And by the ubiquity of the noisy tables everywhere in the restaurant, I could tell this was the normal level of rambunctiousness on a typical night here, not an exception. read more

Millie's - The sea bass tacos that came out somewhat cold - Tex-Mex Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

Very disappointed with the new seating arrangements. We ordered over the phone as we did last time, however this time we were allowed to sit only on the high tables, outside the tent. As locals and B&B owners here in Nantucket we felt segregated. We sent a lot of clients to you but we will be more cautious in recommending your place in the future. The menu prices were certainly the same, we were told, as under the tent. read more

This is one of those places you can come back to 10 years later and still get the same amazing food and service. The waitress was so caring not only taking our dietary needs into consideration but being patient as we took 40 minutes to decide what we wanted over drinks. They take dogs outside. Best kids menu I have seen on the Island! My 3 year old nephew had a beautiful salmon steak with plain yellow rice. I am a vegetarian and the vegetarian options here rock. The Moors End Farm salad was one of the top 5 salads I have ever had in my life. The vegetables could not have been more fresh and the white balsamic dressing made it truly unique. I cannot rave enough about the sweet corn! Perfectly grilled. My sister and mom and huge lobster fans and the chunks were huge - mostly claw meat but full chunks. My mom is gluten-free and was able to get it without the bun with no issue. The saffron rice it came with was a beautiful mix of rice, chickpeas, onions, and spices. The guacamole was a healthy starter (gently fried chips). Just go. Then go to Madaket Beach. read more

Millie's is a MUST. We ordered food to go and picked it up and then walked to the beach. These tacos are amazing. Honestly some of the best tacos we have had in years. We also got a lobster salad, which was good but the tacos were better. The steak was incredible. I can't wait to go back! read more

Spent the morning at Madaket beach then enjoyed al fresco lunch at popular Millies. We had Mahi Tacos, shrimp Tacos and a fish sandwich in our party. All food was deliciously prepared. This is a great return destination. We also spotted the Millie's food truck at the Cisco brewery which provides an extra opportunity to snag this Nantucket favorite. read more

Fish taco was hot, fresh, light, flavorful. Chicken quesadilla with goat cheese and grilled onions was big, bold, flavorful with very moist chicken and sweet caramelized onions. Lime sour cream was great and the salsa was delicious with a smoky finish, balancing nicely with this quesadilla. Sat upstairs with panoramic views. Went from foggy to sunny in a matter of minutes and was fun to watch that happen. Friendly waitress Leah was hustling to keep food coming out fresh, but still took the time to chat when we asked for her opinion on what to order and other small talk. Overall great experience, best food we'd had in three days on ACK. read more

Millie's - Lobster Quesadilla - Tex-Mex Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

The food was great, but the true reason for this review is the staff, specifically one of the runners. On this day, August 28, 2019, my food was delivered by the most handsome, charming, funny, not to mention charismatic, restaurant worker I've ever encountered. His guacamole stained khaki shorts flapped in the wind as he ran from table to table, keeping customers happy and full. He is beauty, he is grace. He is my muse, my flame. I didn't believe in love at first sight, but now I fear I may never leave Nantucket, for a chance at love. Feeling full in my stomach, yet my heart yearns for more. Even though I am no better than a beast, do I not deserve to love? read more

We stopped in after a morning on Madaket Beach. Service was quick and accommodating, drinks were delicious, and the food was exactly what we needed for lunch! We had the shrimp po'boy, lobster and mango rolls, tacos with delicious blackened mahi mahi and pineapple Salsa and their home made summer rice! Great spot for lunch - right near the beach! We love Millie's! read more

Ok food. Nice outdoor setting near the beach. Not too shabby nothing special either. Tacos are good but not gourmet. Looks like the bar is busy at nights ! read more

Be prepared to wait. The sunset is worth it as well as the food. Their tacos are delish and the quesadillas fantastic. Drinks are served fast and super tasty. A staple we go to yrsrvafyer year. read more

We asked for a beer on tap and watched them pour out of a can?? No explanation or anything. Sort of sets a negative tone.

Waitress was very kind and as always the best tacos on the island no matter what kind you get! Chips and guac aren't worth ordering, drinks were good read more

Great time at Millie's as it's right on the bike path. We got a bunch of lobster rolls despite the predominantly Tex/Mex styling of the menu, and we loved them! We hoped to eat outside but it was full so we actually ended up with a great view from the second floor... Don't forget to take a corny insta with their quintessential Mason jars! read more

My wife and I spent a chunk of the afternoon at Madaket Beach. On the way there we passed Millie's. It looked like a good place with nice outside dining, so we decided we would stop by on our way back out. We were met by a friendly hostess outside, where we asked to be seated in the area out in front of the restaurant. We were seated promptly and given menus. There were some interesting drinks, one of which I was dying to try. Well, we sat there for the better part of a 1/2 an hour. Waiters passed right by us greeting and serving almost every other table, but none of them gave us the time of day. I actually asked for assistance from 2 separate servers. One said they would be with us shortly, but never was. The other, who had just taken an order from another table, somewhat rudely said that he was helping someone else. I get that there are other people in the place, but they could have at least acknowledged us or stopped for a second and take our drink order. Finally, I asked my wife if she wanted to leave, and have some food in town. Nobody batted an eyelash when we got up, and we were seen. Maybe the food is great. Maybe the drinks are fantastic. But... read more

Loved Millie's. The Westender fish taco (blackened tilapia in corn tortillas with pineapple mango salsa, guacamole and lime sour cream) and the Eel Point fish taco (ahi tuna in flour tortillas with sesame fennel salad, soy glaze and wasabi creme fraiche) are seriously the best fish tacos I have ever had. Both came with a summer rice salad that was very light and fresh. Atmosphere was very casual - personally I think of it as more of a lunch place. If you check out their website the pictures look a bit fancier/nicer than the place actually is. In fact, when we first drove up to it I was pouting because I had wanted to go have a nice lunch somewhere a little more elegant. Turned out Millie's is now my favorite place to eat on the island. Somehow when the food is that good, the atmosphere doesn't matter quite as much. We went there twice - once we ordered at the bar and then the waiter/waitress brought out our orders... the second time we were waited on at our table... I don't recall the service being either bad or exceptional. Menu: http://www.milliesnantucket.com/www/food-menu.html read more

wow this was a great surprise. My co-worker and I were driving aroudn the island and found Millie's for lunch. Does not look like much, we went up stairs for the sit down lunch. Got chips and guacamole, which was good. I got the Westender for my lunch. Blackend talipia taco with a pineapple mango salsa. Wow it was Perfect. I was not expecting it to be so good, but I could have had 10 of them. They only give you two. But amazing. If you ever find yourself on the west side of the island this is a great place for a bit to eat. read more

Best fish tacos of my life. We biked out with a tail wind and arrived from town, in about 25 minutes. We scored an ocean view 2 top. Our server was enthusiastic and welcoming. We perused the menu and chose house made salsa and chips, a house blended Margarita and the Eel Point fish taco ( Seared rare tuna in flour tortillas with wasabi creme fraiche, soy glaze, sesame, lime, watercress, fennel salad) and the Esther Island (Seared scallops in flour tortillas with creamy red cabbage slaw, guacamole, blue cheese, crispy smoked bacon). The chips were fresh and the thin tasty salsa hit the spot. The scallop dish was amazing. I don't eat bacon so had one without and loved it. The tuna was equally tasty. We loved this spot. It's easily my fav Nantucket dining spot. Oh, the head wind heading home assisted in burning off every single calorie. read more

Millie's Resturant is a great place to come and get some tacos and watch the sunset from the second story restaurant. The acoustics are rather loud and echoey, so it is hard to hear each other if you're having a great conversation. The first floor offers bar seating and picnic tables. It is more suitable for conversations while you eat. The restaurant has a short season, is very often packed, and parking is a bit challenging. But traveling to the west end of Nantucket Island is worth it for the beach and the sunsets and the laid-back atmosphere Which contrasts from the ultra wealthy vibe of the rest of the island. read more

Totally exceeded expectations! Food was incredible- fresh fish/seafood and huge portions. Prices were high but a great value for the money. The service was friendly and didn't have to wait for a table. We were fortunate to get the bar table that overlooks the water. Too bad there was no sunset tonight. Great spot for families and friends. Will return again soon. A new favorite on Nantucket. PS: they offer free shuttle service from downtown for those folks without transportation. It was packed on a rainy night so I can just imagine the crowds on a nice evening. read more

Fabulous casual restaurant with lovely fresh food. Beautiful view from the second floor, where you can see the famous Madaket sunset. Friendly to couples, families, kids. Can be a bit noisy, so I would not call it an intimate dining experience. The Sea bass tacos are so good I have them almost every time. There is a decided southwest tilt to the menu,. Great drinks, great beer, great views - this is really Nantucket. Bonus: the Nantucket bus line runs straight from the Whaling Museum on Broad Street to the door of the restaurant. Perfect designated driver. read more

Millie's is the perfect vacation restaurant. It's casual enough to make it a regular spot, but has such a special vibe, that it's perfect for special occasions with loved ones. The menu is very seafood heavy, but has meat and vegetarian options as well. The portions are super generous, and everything is fresh and delicious. The drinks are amazing, but make sure you had a designated driver! Those things are strong! Super delicious margaritas and a pretty good wine list too. It's a bit of a drive to get out to Millie's and it can get packed. Given that you're all the way in Madaket, there aren't other options if the wait times are too long. But tkae my advise - the wait times are never as long as they estimate! Only thing to note is they really do try and get you in and out of there. If you're looking for a nice long meal, this isn't the spot. But as long as the drinks are flowing, you can stay there all night! read more

Solid 4 star dining experience. Handled our GLUTEN FREE dining needs extremely well and with confidence. Their soft corn taco shells were so good that we had to ask again if they were GF and they were. I had the grilled striped bass tacos which were very good. The lobster salad is excellent with a very good portion of fresh lobster chunks mixed in with a green salad. After dinner walk over to Madaket beach and watch the spectacular sunset. read more

Probably my favorite restaurant on Nantucket in large part due to the fact that I have a 2 year old and appreciate simple, but really well executed dishes. Came in a couple of times over a weekend and was impressed by the: fried oysters, tuna tartare, swordfish kabab, mexican corn, seared tuna tacos and even the kid's shrimp taco. Great views, great proximity to the beach and love the ice cream shop next door for dessert. read more

Very busy. Great drinks and food. Tuna taco is easily the best food I've had on Nantucket.

A mixed bag. We arrived early (5:15). The outside tables were all extremely sunny, so we went to the second floor dining area. Its decor was, at best, functional, but there were water views all around. We waited for a while for someone to take a drink order and finally had to chase down a waitress. She wasn't aware that ours was her table, and she actually turned out to be pleasant and capable. We ordered margaritas (how imaginative), which were watery and had little discernible tequila taste. A little alcohol tingle would have helped. The staff began setting up a table for 13 right next to ours, so we asked the hostess if we could move to one of the many empty tables to have a bit of privacy. She acted as if we had asked her to donate a kidney, but we moved nonetheless. We started with the tuna tartare. It consisted to cubes of tuna (naturally) atop a timbale of coleslaw. The tuna was tasteless. Too many restaurants overspice their tartare, but this was extremely bland. It is well worth skipping. Literally a couple of minutes after our appetizer was served, our main courses arrived. The timing could have been a bit more professional. However, our tacos were delicious. My wife had the striped bass taco, and I had the carnitos taco. Both were quite tasty, and the portions were generous. As we left, the customary "Have a nice evening" was replaced by a sneer from the hostess, which could be translated into a two-word phrase ending in "you." We're torn as to whether to return. Skipping the margaritas and the tartare and sticking to wine or beer and the tacos would result in a pleasant meal, especially if Little Miss Sunshine were not present. read more

My husband and I were tooling around nantucket in our flashy,new, red rental jeep aptly attired in our best attempt at summer casual but not too casual attire that looks expensive without trying too hard. Somehow we missed the turn off for Eel point and ended up in Madaket instead. The day was waning but lucky for us the Millie's take out window was still open and offering items from the main menu. My Husband ordered the Hither Creek Taco for $19.95 and I had the Millie's Creek poor boy for about a dollar less. Both of these came with a side of summer rice salad (jasmine rice, chick peas, cilantro I think, slight slivers of red onion, possibly cinnamon, corn, some other goodies) which I really appreciated for originality. We asked if we could sit at the tables outside but were informed (very very nicely) that these were full service. Fair enough. I am 100% certain this had nothing to do with my jeep hair. We retreated to said jeep to enjoy our meal and people watch as people arrived for dinner. The fish taco looked awesome with grilled striped bass in a corn tortilla with tomato and sweet corn salsa, guacamole, and lime sour cream. I felt a little jealous and was planning on grabbing a bite when I opened up my poor boy and dug into fried whole belly clams with creamy red cabbage slaw on a bun. I honestly can't remember the bun all that well but it was a little mushy due to the slaw which is usually a deal breaker for me with a sandwich and would have been a problem if we had ordered to go and gone further than the parking lot. That coupled with the fact that I love clams but find the whole bellies gross had me thinking this was going to be a disappointing meal. However quite to the contrary I can't remember the last time I ate so much of something I don't usually go crazy for. I was well past full when I finished the sandwich and kept on going right through the rice. It was pretty good. I remember sinking my teeth into that strange whole bellied mush, but it was so tasty and fresh I didn't even care. Loved the slice of lime garnish which I chose to squirt on everything. Over all a pretty great experience and the only improvement I could see would be a few pick nick tables for the takeout window. read more
