Everytime I give someone a list of must try places in Nantucket, I include this item and everytime the people come back and say, yeah, missed that one. And I think, your loss, but I'm also sad because this place rocks like no place rocks! The best, most delicous bread. Delicous sandwich combos. AMAZING TURKEY SALAD. And the baked goods, oh yum, yum, yum. And while you're there, get a t-shirt... with a logo, if you bake it they will come, you know you're in good hands. Take my advice, find this place! read more

Cool place with good sandwiches. Multiple picnic tables in the back in an orchard-like setting. read more

Portuguese bread is a must! Love the bread, which is for sale at the bakery as well as the island's stop and shops! Every year on our summer vacation, we stock up on a minimum of 5 loaves before leaving to freeze and enjoy when we're not on Nantucket. The sandwiches are to die for! Made to order with fresh meats, cheeses, and veggies. Definitely worth a stop by when on the island! read more

Literally the best sandwich I've ever had. I'll be dreaming of it until I can get back to Nantucket!

Not sure if my opinion of Something Natural has changed due to a 2 year old, but Something Natural is fantastic. Solid sandwiches, picnic tables, plenty of space of kids to run around...all good stuff. Been to dozens of Portuguese bakeries in the US and I've never run across Something Natural's verison of Portuguese bread. Solid 3.5 star food combined with 4.5 star experience for kids. read more

My fiance grew up coming to Nantucket once every two years for a couple of weeks. She has many memories, and opinions, and talked the place up quite a bit before our arrival. The Portuguese bread in my opinion was pretty good, but nothing special. In fact that is what they should change the name of this place to. Everything I had here from their new branded organic drinks, made to compete with Nantucket Nectar, to the sandwiches, muffins, and cookies. They were all nothing special. I spent weeks reading reviews on lobster rolls in the New England area before our trip. I even contacted a friend from Rhode Island to see what he recommended. I was told that this place was the best. What i got was an over priced soggy tasteless mayowich. Even though I specified that I was not a huge fan of mayo, and wanted none if the lobster salad came with it. If they didn't add mayo then I am terrified of imagining the rivers of mayo squeezing out of this thing if I had ordered it with mayo. The only reason i went here several times is that is was walking distance from the house on Cliff Road. Save yourself some money and find another spot to get your breakfast or lunch. If you have to go, skip the lobster sandwich. read more

this is my all time favourite spot to grab a sandwich. I almost never come here during peak season, but I run past on my morning sunrise jog down cliff road and am tortured by the heavenly aromas.... in the fall when things quiet down but the weather is still nice, it's a special spot to come with my family- and my toddler loves to run around and play on the boat. I recommend the herb bread- my number one guilty pleasure! read more

Something Natural - Sandwiches Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

See all

After a disappointing breakfast at another restaurant, I was really hungry and looking forward to lunch. This place was on my list so I called to place a takeout order. I wanted the liverwurst on rye, but alas, they were out of liverwurst. I opted for the smoked turkey (half) on oatmeal bread. The sandwich was super fresh, and the bread was great! Also picked up some potato salad and a fresh chocolate chip cookie. Very happy with everything! I'm sure it won't be my last visit. read more

To sum it up, this is a good place with yummy sandwiches, cookies and a nice atmosphere for sitting outside at the many picnic benches and enjoying your purchases. The Pros - Great sandwiches and chocolate chip (and other varieties) cookies. The half sandwich is pretty darned big The Cons - All the extras are well, extra so your pickles and onions are going to add extra $$$ to your already pricey sandwich. L & T are gratis, however. The bread is good but quite soft so it pretty much mushes into the filling and sticks to your teeth CASH ONLY (really annoying in this day and age but not unexpected given its Nantucket) , and this place isn't cheap so bring your dollars and not your plastic. read more

I must say, the sandwich I got from Something Natural on my first visit to Nantucket, is likely the best sandwich I have ever eaten. And I've had some fantastic sandwiches. The combination of super fresh ingredients, combined with fresh baked in-house bread is a serious force to be reckoned with. I would highly recommend the herb bread, and unless you're really starving, go with a half sandwich as a half is the size of your standard make-at-home kind. We ate out at a picnic table in the garden area and it was just lovely. Minus 1 star for semi-snippy service and almost dying from heat stroke from standing in line inside. Maybe that's why the workers were so snippy? This is a Nantucket must-visit, and although slightly out of the way, it is a short walk to jetties beach after your grab sandwiches which is worth a visit too. read more

Meh. My friend swears by this place, but for me it's just mediocre. They messed up my order (again), and our sandwiches were just nothing special. Not terrible, just, boring. We discovered so many great sandwich places on ack that it's just not us worth going back here. read more

This one-star review is based on their very high touch in-person ordering system which, for us, did not work today. The only way to order in-person is to use an i-pad type screen that who knows how many other people fingered all week long. Of course, the bottle of hand sanitizer nearby was empty. Worse, the system requires unnecessarily intrusive information, including email, phone number, etc. and does not tell you which credit cards are accepted. After a fruitless, time-consuming attempt, I inquired of the staff whether a particular credit card is accepted, and the answer was "I think so, try it again." Not helpful, especially after wasting many minutes trying to get the system to work with incomplete screens, etc. If you want food here, call it in. This is not the place to stop for a bite while out bike riding. read more

The food was great, the sandwiches huge, but the 30 minute wait after ordering to get my meal was disappointing, especially since they had 3-4 people taking orders. And that was what took a star away for me. I'd go back on an off time from lunch to avoid the rush. read more

Best cranberry cookies ever!! Sent them to family for fall present, they raved about them. Keep them on your menu Something Natural! read more

One of my favorite places on earth! So many childhood memories here. I've walked, biked, and taken a moped here many summers. You can't go to Nantucket without going to this place, it's magical. My favorite Sandwich: Avocado, Cheddar and Chutney, add sprouts, carrots, maybe some cukes or turkey? Any way you like it, it is amazing on any one of their delicious home-baked breads. I've tried to duplicate it myself for years, but nothing comes close. I often crave this sandwich and only wish I lived closer. read more

Omg - best sandwich shop east of the Mississippi. A world renown cuisine facility that offers a menu for everyone!

Go here for sandwiches for the beach every year I'm on Nantucket. Alway get the turkey salad sandwich on oatmeal bread with lettuce and tomato. The salad is made with chunks of turkey,apples, and raisins. The bread is always freshly made. It's a very special place. read more

One Sandwich along with a piece of carrot cake and one cookie was left out of our order totaling 25.00. We were staying on a boat at the Nantucket boat basin which was a hike just to get there. When we returned to the boat and found out things were missing and called the store. When we explained what happened we asked if they could deliver their response was "it's not our fault". I have NEVER experienced such poor customer service. So if you still decide to order from Something Natural be sure to check your order and make sure they gave you everything you paid for. read more

The screen door slamming after you and picnic tables in a grove scream summer - then - there's the sandwiches- the curry chicken and the lobster salad and the veggies and chutney - all of it are served up on huge sandwiches - get 1/2 on Portuguese bread of anything and a cookie and a brownie and know - no ones got it better than you right here - the right now - read more

OMG! This place is too busy!!! Everyone parking everywhere! No place to sit and eat. Long, long line and wait for sandwich. Prices are quit high. 13.95 for turkey on rye with two slices of cheese, a smear of avocado a piece of tomato and lettuce. Thankfully, the sandwich was very tasty. Good quality meat and cheese with all fresh ingredients. I'd be a fan if it wasn't so crowded despite the cost since everything on island is more expensive. read more

I had forgotten the name of this place, but just searched "Sandwich Shop" in Nantucket and it was the first hit. We were recommended this by a local and decided we'd grab sandwiches for the ferry ride back to the main land and the long drive back to CT. We walked from our hotel and stumbled upon it...we would have never known it was here unless we were told! Love places like that. However, the choices didn't wow me! I had a veggie sandwich with avocado and sprouts. It was good. Nothing great about it. I could have done with out it...there was nothing in it to give it flavor like same salt and pepper, or some kind of spread or something. The place is TINY. They sell shirts and bread. It's interesting. read more

Big messy sandwiches with zero flair. My supposed "avocado, sprout, veggie" sandwich had only a light smear of avocado! Frankly I was appalled. It was like the avocado was a condiment and a very lightly applied condiment to boot. Yes, the bread is good. Yes, the desserts look homemade and yummy. read more

Food was great and it's a lovely location, but giving 3 stars because of less than pleasant staff. One girl seemed really annoyed that I wanted our drinks (which were bottled) before our sandwiches. This shop is on the bike route, so I'm not sure why she was surprised by us being thirsty. Even though the sandwiches were good...I wouldn't come back read more

Great tuna salad sandwich - the full portion is HUGE! Cleanest bathroom I saw on the island. Friendly staff and great outdoor picnic area. read more

Something Natural - Sandwiches Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

Yum, this place has amazing sandwiches and cookies. The bread is always just out of the overn. It's a long-time Nantucket standard, and the quality never goes down. Leave your SUV behind if you can and bike there; the parking lot is a mess! read more

Wonderful fresh sandwiches- hearty and delicious- outdoor picnic tables/ A great place to stop and have a terrific lunch- especially if you are out biking! read more

Yummy Yummy! I usually get the turkey sandwich with chutney! I would totally recommend coming here. Their eating area is so cute, great for the family to lounge around and enjoy the weather. read more

I came in today and had the half lobster salad sandwich. This place has really good prices (for Nantucket). There are a bunch of picnic tables outside. It's a nice spot to sit and eat and write a review! They have a great selection of breads for your sandwiches. I gave it 4/5 bc even though the lobster roll had big chunks of lobster in it, compared to others I've had it was slightly lacking taste. Some people might like it like that, i prefer a little tastier. That being said, I'll be back when I'm in town. The half sandwich is huge too. read more

I've been coming to Nantucket for many years now and have always heard great things about this place, naturally my family and I decided to give it a try. Over it was highly mediocre. The pumpernickel bread was very dried out so much so we did not eat the bread. For a $16 sandwich I expected more. Not very impressed. read more

I'm sorry the person who ordered the lobster salad wasn't able to get it and then was disappointed in the tuna sandwich that they ordered. I have never never, never had a bad sandwich from Something Natural. And, in all my years of living on this island and recommending it to visitors and guests, everyone has raved about what they have eaten there. I hope the person who is disappointed gives it another try to change their experience. Heading there right now to get my favorite - smoked turkey with cheddar on Portuguese. Of course a chocolate chip cookie too! Deb Anderson read more

Okay sandwiches and heavenly cookies but I hate eating here because I've heard so many horror stories about the way the workers are treated.

I hate Nantucket Island restaurants. They're all mediocre and overpriced, and there's always legions of people always raving about how good it is. The cult of Nantucket pervades everything, and Something Natural is one of its most cherished temples. I will concede the sandwiches are good, if not imaginative, and this is, I hate to admit, probably the best sandwich spot out here. That said, this place is always overrun by the Aryan summer crowds and their entourage of screaming brats. The reviewer who called this place "idyllic" - no idea what they're talking about. Loud kids, all the time, running around the lawn until they fall down and start wailing at the top of their lungs. Also, whoever said they don't serve Coca-Cola products because they're not natural - you are dumb. They serve lots of that crap. In the summer you can spend up to an hour waiting in a crowded line for lunch. If this happens to you, a fun game to pass the time is to try to count how many of the mothers you see have had plastic surgery. Also, it is very educational to watch wealthy people have to stand in line, and see a fascinating inability to cope with situations where everyone is treated the same. read more

Makes it feel like I'm back at home playing in the yard when my mom calls me in for lunch...great food, great atmosphere, can't wait to go back again read more

Hands-down: the best, tastiness, and biggest sandwiches on Nantucket!

Skip the sandwiches on the main roads and head here! The bread is amaze balls. I had a veggie sandwich and didn't miss the meat. It is quite busy and parking looked like a pain (we walked) maybe bring a blanket to sit on, there are benches but there was a line all the way around and down the stairs, so imagine finding a bench! Love this place. read more

The nostalgia is intoxicating whenever I think of this place. This is one of my favorite sandwich joints of all time. You can't really beat a sunny Nantucket day, eating a fresh, homemade sandwich from Something Natural inside the little boat table on the lawn. Any trip to Nantucket is not complete until you go have a casual lunch at Something Natural. To me, this place embodies the feeling of the island. The sandwiches are excellent. I love it. It's good. read more

I couldn't imagine that a sandwich could be this good...but when we drove up and could barely get into the parking lot, I realized that this many people can't possibly be wrong. And they weren't. The only downside was that at only 12:30 they had already run out of lobster...keep up the good work, but make sure there are enough ingredients to get through lunch! Also, I could not imagine that a half sandwich would be enough but after eating about half of the first half, I had to go and wrap the other half for the next day...when you're hungry you might think you can eat both, but we were not alone in going back to have the second half of our sandwich wrapped! read more

Bakery is excellent for homemade breads and cookies. A nice spot to grab a lunch or snack while out biking. Several picnic tables on the lawn under the trees. read more

This is a great place to grab a simple sandwich (they mainly have sandwiches there) and sit outside at the restaurant's picnic tables. The outdoor seating area is serene and pretty and fun for an outdoor picnic. The sandwiches are good but nothing extraordinary. I gave the place 5 stars though because it the perfect place to go for a nice quiet picnic outside. read more

Delicious sandwiches, generous portions and friendly staff. Large menu selection, outdoor seating. Reasonably priced. Convenient location on Cliff Road, short distance from town and bike trail. Highly recommend. read more
