We walked in and was able to grab a table when they opened at 5:30. This wasn't really a sit and relax experience. Our server checked on us a lot until we ordered. It was hard because we really wanted the braised short rib but it would not be ready until 7. Not having all your food ready until 1 and a half hours into service seems like an issue. So we needed extra time. We ended up with just a clam chowder and a seafood stew. Both were full of flavor and nicely seasoned. We walked out a little after 6:30. The server could have offered another glass of wine while we waited for a short rib. However we got the odd feeling we weren't wanted. They wanted to turn the table for a 7pm crowd. We didn't get a recommendation or encouragement to order anything else. We left hungry. Walked down the street and ate some BBQ. read more

We had a delicious meal in this place that I don't even know how to pronounce the mane. Servers were very attentive and knowledgeable. There is seating inside and out. I had one of the best Arnold Palmers I have ever had. read more

This was a chill location with a diverse menu that was reasonably priced. Oh, and it tastes good too. Is it the most memorable meal I've ever had? No. But, it was relaxing and I would certainly go back. However, if you're going to roll with the name Queequeg... own the Moby Dick reference more than just the hostess stand. Otherwise, this is a pretty solid option for a lunch. read more

Queequeg's is such a good consistent restaurant in nantucket, their menu has a little bit of everything. From sushi, to meats, and soups. I got the mussels and they were tasty, nice portion with a couple Pieces of grilled bread. It needed herbs or something to freshen up the dish but still delicious. The pork belly buns were also great, you have to eat them as soon as they get to the table or the bun cools off and hardens a bit. Nonetheless it's a solid restaurant offering delicious food at an affordable price in nantucket. read more

Queequeg's - Mussels & Pork Buns - New American Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

Our hopes were high for this place as many people we passed said they loved it. Unfortunately my tacos didn't have a ton of flavor, the fry seemed overdone, and more unique toppings or some sort of house-made sauce would've been nice. It seemed like there was little effort/creativity for this dish. The fries were barely seasoned and also seemed a bit overcooked. The fish on the sandwich was very fresh but besides that, lacking flavor. The fish to bread ratio seemed off, with there being excess bread. The service was great, as my water was constantly refilled, and the food came quickly. I would not return here, as we could easily find better food elsewhere. read more

Nice patio! The hostess exuded snobbery, so we weren't too sure about our experience, but the server was so sweet and friendly, he made up for it. I had a vodka drink with basil, which was pretty good. I had the tuna tartare, which was tasty, despite that it was served with Nan. Not a fan. Just didn't go together. My friend liked her tuna roll. I would return for the patio and the server. read more

On a rainy night we step into Queequeg's now has an evening of dampness become glorious culinary summer. Caprese salad , spicy shrimp short ribs ,shrimp scampi....cozy quintessential Nantucket....thanks again folks....The Bard himself would have been happy here! read more

The service here is the worst! we had a 5:30 PM appointment which we were on time for, nobody was in the restaurant and we were seated in a booth. When my husband sat down, he was sat in a puddle of water. He jumped up and his entire bottom was wet! when the staff saw what happened they said oh we could move you a different spot... The air conditioner leaks......,. there was no apology or recognition that he was placed to sit in a puddle.!! the staff, there was never apologeric and no attempts were made to compensate for what happened! Needless to say, we left never to return again!! Be warned!! read more

Outstanding! The chowder is among the best of the best. We had the fish and chips and it was exactly how it should be served. Not over breaded. Light. Fluffy and full sized portions of cod. Great service. Fantastic cocktails. Highly recommend. read more

Queequeg's - Chowder. Fish & Chips - New American Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

Just want to take the time to apologize to the server/hostess/manager or whomevers job it is to ignore customers and then treat them like wayward stray dogs biting at her ankle. I am very sorry my wife and I set in the shade waiting for you for fifteen minutes at the four top in your mostly empty out door area a half hour before lunch service ended in the off season without first searching for you at your table/workspace in the entirely empty indoor area (texting on your phone) to ask permission. And I am equally sorry we where not willing to move the sun drenched two top after you scolded us. And while I was curious if the couple that moved there after we walked out of the first restaurant we have ever walked out of in our lives, possibly received the same special treatment, I am delighted to report that we truly enjoyed spending $100 plus a 25% tip on lunch down the street where we where treated like kings. So we do thank you for that. And while I can't reflect on the food I have to believe that any restaurant that would have someone who clearly hates her job so much would very likely not really care about, well anything. So I doubt I missed much. read more

Nice intimate ambiance. Excellent service. Great food. Ridiculous spirits prices. That sums it up. A shot of Makers Mark here will cost you $21! An Old Fashion with bullet rye $20. When I double checked with the waiter about the Maker's price after seeing the bill, he nodded and the bartender who overheard laughingly said "Welcome to Nantucket!". Well certainly prices are higher on the island but this was a rip off I felt. I ordered the same thing at Straight wharf and it was $14, and it's a higher end restaurant. Shoot a whole bottle of Makers at Murray's is $59. Live and learn. Started with the clam chowder and it was delicious. For entrees we had the curry chicken and the shrimp and avocado Bibimbap. Both were excellent and recommended. Unnecessarily squeezing us for that Makers probably makes me look elsewhere in the future. read more

Halibut was good. Tomatoes were disgusting in the burrata - some mushy, some not ripe and one tasted rancid. Server was not engaging at all. I am not a complainer so I didn't mention it but server didn't even ask why I did not eat the tomatoes. It's cozy inside and patio looks nice but we chose it because close to the hotel and raining but would not go back. read more

Cozy space; great food - mussels were fabulous. Relaxing time at the inside bar and great chat with the bartender.

A tiny fun - cobble stone side street to street side bar with comfy seating and good drinks ! You have to walk by to notice it between the shingles- but so worth it. We had sushi- and it was delicious!! No comparison- best on island by far... fun afternoon vibe before dinner and left wanting more food - I could eat there every day! Wish we stayed for dinner... read more

We came here for dinner a few nights ago and had the Dynamite Shrimp to start and the Halibut and Ramen as our mains. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The Dynamite shrimp are cooked in a very light batter (almost like beer batter or what you might get with an upper tier sweet and sour chicken/pork) accompanied by a delicious spicy/tangy sauce. Highly recommend this dish. Only complaint being the shrimp are a bit small in size. The Halibut was a little overcooked and dry but the risotto it was served on was delicious, and the sauce (a type of bernaise) was great too. I thought the ramen was a little flavorless compared to what I'm used to eating at places that specialize in Ramen (I should have probably ordered something else). All in all we had a good experience and would come back again. read more

Couldn't recommend a place more! The restaurant quality makes the island price worthwhile. We were hoping to sit outside, but was escorted inside for our reservation. The server was much more pleasant than the hostess, and the bartender added some additional syrup to my friend's drink which was just a bit too spicy for her liking. The sushi was fresh and delicious. If you like truffle fries, you can't go wrong with these shoestring ones. The steak frites was phenomenal. It had the perfect medium sear and the best herbed butter on top. read more

Our dinner came out in about 10 minutes of being seated. This was nice except that my short ribs were nuclear hot on the inside (microwaved) and the gravy had lumpy chunks that had not been emulsified - tasted a bit like bullion cubes. Wife had gooey pasta. Trendy but overrated and not a serious attempt at greatness. read more

Flavorful large portions from an eclectic menu. Authentic ambiance without pretension. Good service and reasonably priced wine list.

I've left 5 stars else where. This is the first 4 star. I've had more bar experiences I enjoy elsewhere but let's say it's me. I felt this place held itself more pretentious than any place should. Pretentious is never good. I had a Manhattan.. excellent. I also had the tuna tartar. The tuba was . The tortilla chips it's served with seemed like a lazy choice. Tortilla chips should never be served unless it's salsa or nachos. There are too many options to pair with tuna to choose a tortilla chip. The hostess and waitress were amazing!!!! read more

Amazing food, some of the best on Nantucket. For sure worth a stop by for some amazing grub! Amazing service, got an amazing server, he made sure everything was perfect! Really cute small resteraunt as well. read more

Walk-in at 5 on Friday. Sat immediately. Ordered the truffle fries and Brussels salad for start. Very good. Created anticipation for our entrees only to be disappointed. Chicken bowl - Thai style came with 0 cilantro. Which is the only point. Asked the waitress for some more. "It's in the sauce" - which by the way also had 0 cilantro. But a ton of sugar. Portuguese Stew - 0 Linguica. 0 Kale. 0 clams. 0 calamari. Maybe it was just "It's in the sauce" and for $39. The Short Ribs were bomb so get that or Nah. read more

My favorite restaurant on Nantucket. Spare ribs are unreal. Great atmosphere and service.

Malcolm, our server, was personable, fun, and fast. He gave us the best table in the house, on a corner outside. Nantucket is normally a place where one orders seafood, but I had the NY strip steak, which was arguably the best I've ever had. read more

Awful service, stood at the hostess stand for 20 mins, 5 employees walked by me, not one said hello or acknowledged my presence. I get it we are in tough times, but even so, that was really rude. At least tell me they were busy or to wait, hell at least say hi to me and acknowledge I exist Very disappointed read more

Queequeg's was all about the burger and I was so disappointed to hear that they changed it. Instead of two thin patties on a Portuguese bun, now it's one thick patty on a simple brioche bun with lettuce and tomatoes. Nothing to write home about. They always take care of us service-wise here and rushed to move us inside at lunch when it started pouring rain today. The food just isn't as good this summer. My lobster roll was slightly undercooked, but the truffle fries were amazing. My sister's Eggs Benedict was good as always, but we were underwhelmed with the swordfish sandwich and the Dragon Roll was also average. The sushi also came out after all of the rest of us had finished our meal. It's a cozy solid spot downtown and I really enjoyed my past meals here. I hope they add the fried pickles back to their menu and shape things up for the rest of the season. read more

We have gone there the past two summers. The food is excellent in preparation and delicious. We have tried appetizers, entrees, and dessert. All equally outstanding. The outdoor dining is wonderful. read more

I like Queequeg's. (Name in the running for my future son's name, for reals (not for reals). It's a good spot when you're looking for a nice night out, but more casual than some of the other downtown Nantucket restaurants. A seafood forward menu with entrees at at about $30 for a solid portion size (read: not huge, but not Nantucket tiny). My party of 4 had no problem getting a last minute rez on a weeknight in July. We all opted for dinner apps and entrees and did a little bit of some sharing, and I gotta say we all enjoyed our meals. The oyster salad is delicious, with fresh greens topped with fried oysters and a delicious deviled eggy dressing. Other options include a fresh summer squash salad and tune and meat tartars. I followed it up with sea scallops. 3 large scallops could have used a little bit more oomph, but they were solid and meaty. However, that pan roasted halibut... SWOON. A nice sized fish perfectly cooked. Lobster gnocchi and the bolognese were solid dishes, but not standout. Overall, cocktails are pricey, food for Nantucket is pretty reasonable and delicious. Service was fine, not fine dining, but casual! I'd 100% come again and recommend for a more casual night out vs that high end Nantucket night. read more

A cozy restaurant with good ambience, nice outdoor patio seating and a small bar in the back. Unfortunately the food was a disappointment. Typical Nantucket tiny portion size that was expected but the food was bland and cold. I ordered the clam chowder, fried oyster salad and the steak dish. My salad was was warm and the oyster was cold and tasteless. The steak was so cold that the herb butter that came with it couldn't blend into my dish. The clam chowder was ok but again the soup was warm not hot as expected. If it wasn't for the decor and the overall ambiance of this cute restaurant I would give it 1 star. read more

I have been coming to Nantucket for all 30 years of my life and, although I don't know why, I had never been to Queequeg's until this past December. Even though official Stroll was cancelled this year, myself and group of 5 other friends decided to come up for the weekend anyway and enjoy the island at its most peaceful. On a Thursday night we had a reservation for Queequeg's inside. We all felt safe eating inside as the restaurant was very well spaced out when we were there. We sat in a large cozy booth which was perfect for 6 people. Drinks were strong and delicious. I will admit the menu seems to be a little all over the place in terms of cuisine but everyone was able to find something they enjoyed. My husband and I split the hamachi dragon sushi roll and it was probably one of the best rolls I've ever had- the hamachi tasted SO fresh. I had the Bibimbap for dinner which was a huge serving- it is pricey (if you add chicken and avocado like I did) but plentiful! We will definitely be back next time we're here!! read more

Exceptional food and atmosphere! My husband and I visited Nantucket from the cape, and I was a bit wary--worried it might be a little touristy! But the atmosphere and food definitely proved otherwise. Great selection of wines paired with incredible seafood. Queequeg's is a great spot for a date night! read more

I thought the location was prefect. The patio was very inviting. Food was delicious. A fun spot.

A perennial favorite, and one we visit every time we're on-Island. Becky is the best bartender/server around, and the food is always great. Tucked away downtown on quiet Oak Street behind the Atheneum [library], Queequegs has outdoor tables as well as an outdoor bar. read more

The food here is exceptional. I'm a big fan of their 2 courses for $25, which you can get from 5:30pm-6:30pm Monday through Thursday. I've had some delicious food here. Ahi Tuna Tartar with wonton crisps, braised short ribs, Burrata cheese plate, Berkshire pork porter house... Ah-mazing. They cook and prepare each meal perfectly. The meat is always tender and the tastes blend perfectly. I'm in food heaven when I'm here. Seating options are both inside and outside. I've found that the service is so much faster if you eat outside. The interior is very small, and when it fills up the server gets busy and service slows to a crawl. It's an expensive place so taking advantage of the 2 courses is an excellent deal. Allot plenty of time if it's busy there, but it's definitely a place worth going to if you're in town. read more
