I'll admit I was skeptical at first l, but definitely understood by the end. The apple fritter is huge and it was really something special.

There are a boatload of ice cream shoppes in and around this part of Oak Bluffs, but only one had…read morethe name that drew me in: Mad Martha. I had hoped to discern whether she was mad (supervillain), mad (fly), mad (bipolar/borderline), mad (angry), mad (6-7), or otherwise. There was no such information when you walked into the shoppe and the teenager scooping ice cream did not seem to be much of an expert about what sort of mad Martha was. Mystery unsolved. However, since it is Martha's Vineyard and with the 50th anniversary of the Jaws film, I was positively delighted to find that they had a shark attack flavour. I will order anything shark attack themed or adjacent, no questions asked, because the food item is usually blue. Blue food is the best sort of food. Plus the strawberry, raspberry, or cherry used as the attack part of the shark is a bonus fruit experience for the day so who can complain about that. Mad Martha's is a calm, cool place in Oak Bluffs to sit with some ice cream and enjoy before/after the gingerbread houses nearby. There is ample seating in the store along the windows as well as right outside the shoppe on benches. The scoops are generous and pricing is fair for the Vineyard. With that being said, only visit if you can handle the unsolved mystery of exactly what type of mad this Martha character was. I like to think her tortured ghost only watches television during NHL season and now is solely focused on lamenting the Bruins trading away Marchy to the Panthers. But that doesn't affect her ability to serve up scoops of shark attack when the game isn't on.

We saw the clever "Nauti Cow" and "organic" on the sign outside and immediately needed to check it out. They offer both hard and soft ice cream. Only the soft serve is organic. You choose your base (dairy or vegan) and flavor. The flavor (syrup) is added to the base and blended. The banana flavor was excellent. Subtle, and not too sweet. The black raspberry & cheesecake blend was also a perfect blend of flavors. Staff was very friendly and helpful guiding us through the ordering process. We'd come back again for sure!

This is a carry-out only restaurant, and they allow you to place orders ahead for pickup. My friend and I walked in and both ordered the oxtail dinner, and I also ordered a side of plantains. The oxtail came with a healthy side of cabbage and rice and peas. The flavor on the oxtail was very bland, and the meat itself was somehow both fatty and tough. The rice and peas, cabbage, and plantain were both okay. I don't see myself coming back again, but if I did, I would stick to the fried chicken, as that seems to be a popular item.

Items ordered were the Oxtails, Thai Salmon, Blackened Shrimp. My friend that ordered the blackened shrimp was the only one disappointed. The oxtails were amazing and tender. I paid .75 for a side of Jerk sauce. The peas/rice were a bit dry; but the jerk sauce helped. I even had leftovers for the next day.
