    I ate my across Nantucket, one lobster roll at a time. This one was my favorite! Forget "best of" lists. So many of those are paid anymore... I tried the "top ranked" ones and they fell short to good ol' Walter's roll. Doughy bread, mayo tang, juicy briny lobster. You won't get a white tablecloth, or any table cloth for that matter. But it is truly legit. I even had one for breakfast.

    Superb! Stopped by for lunch right after I landed in Nantucket. Got the Reuben and cold lobster roll. As far as the value goes, I think you get your money's worth by coming here. The efficiency in service, taste and the cost all make this place stand out amongst other businesses on the island. There isn't anywhere to sit and eat inside as it is a takeout only.

    Our first stop in Nantucket was Walter's Deli, and we're so glad we came! We ordered the Reuben and a cold lobster roll. They take your order efficiently, and the sandwiches are made quickly. Plus, they pack plenty of napkins, which is always a bonus. The Reuben sandwich was, without a doubt, the best I've ever tried. The flavor was perfect - not too bland and not too salty. The worker was incredibly friendly, making the experience even better. I would love to come back and try their other sandwiches!

    Worth every penny!!!!!!! Wow. I will be craving this forever. A Lobster Roll to Remember Every once in a while, you find a spot that captures the pure essence of what Nantucket dining should be simple, fresh, and absolutely unforgettable. Walter's is that spot. I stopped in for their lobster roll, and easily one of the best I've ever had. The roll was packed with thick, juicy pieces of lobster perfectly fresh, tender, and lightly dressed to let the seafood shine. Every bite felt indulgent but balanced, with just the right touch of butter and seasoning. You can tell the quality here is next-level; it tastes like it came straight off the boat that morning. The presentation is unfussy in the best way just a clean, well-made roll that lets the flavor speak for itself. It's the kind of meal that instantly transports you into vacation mode, even if you're just stopping in for a quick bite between beach walks. Walter's itself fits seamlessly into the island's relaxed charm, with friendly walk in service and that quintessential Nantucket vibe. Perfect for a midday lunch or a pre-ferry treat before heading off-island. Bottom line: If you're in Nantucket and looking for the lobster roll that sets the bar, Walter's is it. No gimmicks, just fresh, local perfection.

    The space is a simple service counter setup with takeout only, but don't let that fool you, the food speaks for itself. We had a small mix-up with our order regarding the quantity and temperature, but the staff was helpful in clearing it up. Once we got back to our hotel and dug into the lobster roll, all was forgiven. It was hands-down the best lobster roll we've had on our New England trip, perfectly buttery, fresh, and really packed with lots of lobster.

    We ate lobster rolls from 3 different restaurants in Nantucket and Walter's was our favorite. 1) it had by far the most lobster meat. 2) the lobster salad was simple, great flavor, and the fresh lobster meat had good texture 3) perfectly toasted and crispy bun with a buttery flavor, the bun was sturdy, not soggy, and a great vessel for the lobster meat Really, executing a good lobster roll isn't hard, Walters nailed it. Get a lemonade while you're at it!

    The staff is friendly and service is extremely quick! Food was delicious and portions were generous. An essential stop for any hungry lunch goer!

    Best lobster roll in Nantucket. They have hot and cold lobster rolls and both are outstanding, just depends on your preference. Also, very generous portions of lobster for the price. Highly recommend

    I waited in line around 10 minutes to place my order on a Tuesday at 11:30. My order was ready in 5 minutes. I ordered the chicken pesto panini and expected green pesto, but it only had a tomato sauce on it. Plus the chicken breast was breaded. It was served hot with melted cheese. It was made with quality ingredients and tasted delicious. This is counter service and no where to sit.

    Outstanding! I went here for lunch seeking out a lobster roll, although honestly the entire menu looked amazing. The deli is really just a counter, so you order and give the server your name and they call you when it's done. There's no seating but there are plenty of benches around The lobster roll is mayo-based lobster salad on a buttered, toasted roll. I'm not the biggest mayo fan but this was excellent - not too mayo-y but very well seasoned, and the cool lobster with the warm bun is *chef's kiss.* It's also very reasonably priced for the quality and amount of lobster they give you!

    The best lobster roll with buttered potato bread!

    I've been along the New England states on my quest for the perfect lobster roll. Most rolls have an abundance portion of lobster with either cold (mayo) or hot (butter) on a typical hot dog bun. Walter's in Nantucket was a special find for the three of us. We typically share what we like and do not like about our meals. All three of us agreed that Walter's lobster roll was (hands down) our favorite. It was distinctive from other rolls as it was prepared with a bit of a citrus forward zest and - served on romaine on soft, buttered potato bread. We loved it so much we ordered two more for our trip back on the ferry. Light, savory, with a balance of citron and softness. We enjoyed this game in Nantucket! Thank you for a memorable experience! We shall return....

    I got the eggplant parm sub and it was average. The bread was not very good. Tasted like my school library's eggplant parm sub. It wasn't cheap either. There's so many restaurants on that street so I'd just choose another if youre vegetarian.

It's busy but we got a table for 5 immediately at 10am. The options looked great. We got gluten-free avocado toast with an egg (bland and meh, I've had better), Turkish eggs (very good), LP. Breakfast (filling and tasty), açaí bowl with berries and honey (yum), midnight cold pressed juice, lemon ginger shot, iced matcha latte (too sweet), iced saffron cardamom (too sweet), iced latte (perfect).

The juice was delicious and you could taste the fresh beet juice and ginger. The pistachio matcha I had was perfectly made. Not too dark in color and flavored nicely. I loved the soup of the day with sourdough bread made by a local Nantucket baker. The Italian wedding soup was delicious and rustic in flavor. The overall presentation leaves a strong impression. Everything was so well put together.

Enjoyed the slaw and salad that accompany it. Not crazy expensive at $39 but not a ton of lobster on the roll. Wifey basically had the same only lobster was dry. In both cases a bit on the chewy side. Fish and chips was not really eaten/enjoyed, and we fed the chicken tenders to two dogs at a neighboring table. Lots of good options on the menu. Would try a great many other things before going back.
