    I had to feed my coffee habit so I stopped by Stubby's. I had a medium coffee for 4.00. I suppose for the island, that is a reasonable price. It is a hole in the wall but they serve coffee. I would return.

    I've been dying to try Stubbys. I ordered the chicken tomatoe pesto panini. I was a good but needed something else. Maybe some seasoning cheese, lettuce avocado or bacon. It was just ok.

    A Nantucket staple! Do not miss the Jamaican Jerk chicken. I tried the sandwich and it was delicious, as were the fries. This is a locals spot for a reason.

    What a gem in the middle of Nantucket! It's a takeout place with a couple tables. Their menu does everything! But they have some special Jamaican items. I ordered a jerk chicken with rice and peas and my friend got a veggie burger. The jerk chicken was slightly dry but the flavours were poppin! Highly recommend this place! Also the prices are very affordable!

    Didn't want to sit down for a long lunch. We found Stubby with good comfort food that just hit the spot. Order online while browsing in the Whale Museum then pick up after 15-20mins. We ordered different food and all liked our orders.

    The staff is super nice! It's the "late night spot" where you get a nice little bit after the party! They get the job done!

    Fish Sandwich with Fries

    Wanted to get a quick bite on the island and Stubby's hit the spot! Had the fish sandwich as recommended by the gentleman at the register and my bf had a clam roll. Both were good. The food came out quick and we sat at the table and ate there. You can tell it's a super busy spot with locals and vacationers. Cool vibe.

    Got mozz sticks to go! Service was quick and staff was nice. Ambiance is nothing crazy it's more of a to go place but was yummy and I'd recommend for quick food.

    Staff was super nice, had left my wallet with a friend and the cashier was super understanding. Waffle fries were awesome and there were many different options on the menu

    Didn't want to go far, choices limited on the island, locals go here, so why not? Simple choices, cheeseburgers and fries. Island prices, so no complaints here. Street parking, no seats. All good.

The food was delicious and expensive. We had the asparagus salad and summer salad. Both were delicious and fresh. Steak frites were delicious and the serving size was decent. Duck carnitas was the hit! The duck was delicious and tender. The toppings (pickled onions, pickled veggies, salsa) with the corn tortillas were just right. You prep your own tacos with all the fillings. This was our favorite and we enjoyed the unique concept to use duck! It was an expensive meal but worth it! Service was great. I took more photos but realized they were quite blurry due to it being dark out and I didn't give my phone enough time to capture the photo. I wanted to eat!!! I would definitely come again.

This being 1:00 pm too. Or, The Whale boasts a great wait staff who are accommodating and professional, as well as being just plain nice. A very clean establishment. We started with the crudités as an appetizer, and we both had the asparagus salad as our lunch - to die for! Very, very good! Priced nicely, and no negatives whatsoever. This place is always packed for dinner, so we were glad that on a Wednesday we were able to waltz in for luncheon. A must do when on island.

Our excitement increased as we entered the…read morerestaurant and were met at the door by 2-3 maître d's, one of which welcomed us and proceeded to gush that we were in for a truly special meal: a Michelin starred chef, fresh, local ingredients and unique dishes & flavors. I wish I could write a glowing review, but in all honesty, I cannot do it. The entire experience was a let-down. The serving staff is clearly hired for the season; they struggle to describe the menu; there is no sommelier available and our server looked like a deer caught in headlights when asked a simple question about the sweetness of a Riesling on offer; the food was trying so hard, but was poorly executed and under seasoned. I ordered risotto with chanterelles, asparagus and fresh greens: what arrived was bowl of bland, soupy rice that somehow managed to be both mushy & undercooked. Two of our party ordered the halibut which was so doused in unnecessary accoutrements that this delicate, wonderful fish was lost (and also slightly overcooked), the last member of our group ordered "a Greek preparation" of lamb that arrived like a gummy block of scrapple (today, we noticed it had been pulled from the menu, thank goodness!). It was practically inedible. The two starters were passable, but nothing to write home about and, needless to say, we opted to skip dessert. The bill for this meal was hefty and didn't deliver in any way. The only positive moment was when we asked for the excessively bright lighting to be dimmed down (we were blinded) and we were kindly accommodated. Long story short: unless American Seasons does some serious reflection on how their marketing & describing the experience here, skip it. You're better off with fried clams at a shack.

The small plates were all $25+ and while the small plates were actually larger than one would think, nothing blew me away. The cocktails are also expensive, pricier than drinks I recently had at The Pearl & Straight Wharf. Pics were from a few years back, but I most recently dined this year (2026) and had the octopus, little gem salad, the clam dip and fried broccoli. While all good, I wouldn't say a dish stood out as fantastic. (Granted, we didn't order any of their more "main dishes". This is definitely a spot that seemingly is more fun with many mouths to feed and try bites of many things. With just my husband & I, we were limited to the same bites of a few dishes. The service was great and the vibes also. The bar is bustling and upstairs is so charming. Overall, a solid night out. I do find it to be more expensive than their neighbors and not quite sure the food lived up to those occasions, which is why the 3 stars, but regardless, a nice night out. Fun Fact: Back in the day, this spot was an Italian restaurant called DeMarco's and I used to be the hostess! (This was 30 years ago and now after writing that, I feel quite old).

The Buffalo fried fish app the waitress recommended wasn't my favorite and doesn't seem to be a dish that should be on the menu. It def felt like TGIFridays met Nantucket but not in a good way. Literally a deep fried block of fish smothered in buffalo sauce served on like a whipped blue cheese spread. Honestly, I think it was trying to elevate Buffalo when Buffalo can't be elevated. The fish entree I had was fine. Nothing out of this world. Actually quite unmemorable. Overall, $90 for 2 dishes that were fine, the app being even on a don't order suggestion, is a little jarring. Service and ambiance was great. I love the comp bread and little dip amuse bouche. Overall, fine. I think I ordered wrong, but I do think there are some better value and more exciting food happening at other places.
