Breakfast brunch at noon. Ate outside. Service was great - server very attentive; food terrific; and very reasonable for good sized portions. Highly recommend. read more

the food isn't that good. I would rather eat McDonalds. the service is even worse. I waited 45 minutes from my food and it wasn't even good. I would not recommend this place. I would rather go to McDonald's. read more

You would think that the number of years they have been in business they could bring it up a notch or two. Same old problems they've had for years just never get approved upon. Don't expect much if you must frequent this establishment. read more

Was here for about an hour waiting for flight - after waiting a very long time for overpriced vodka sodas I decided not to tip. Waiter ended up helping himself to a 20$ tip on my card that I had to dispute. Avoid. read more

Trust what you read - this place is average at best. Extremely slow service and the food is only slightly better than fast food. I was running tight on time but was hungry before a long flight. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was mostly batter (and extremely small portion). The server came by only three times - once to take my order, second time to deliver the food, and a third time with the check. No other service was offered. The meal took close to 40 minutes (very long for an airport meal). With no other options at the airport be sure to grab food before arriving. read more

The wait time here is ridiculous! Staff is completely inattentive and will down right ignore you. Food is on par for a still restaurant. The owners should do everyone a favor and sell this place. It is the only place at the airport to grab a bite to eat, it should be catering to pilots and passengers and turning out quality meals in a hurry. Let someone else come in and run this place properly and elevate the airports impact for the surrounding community. read more

Crosswinds is located in Nantucket Memorial Airport. And since nothing on this island is super far away, this place is easy to get to either by foot or on bike. I'm making my circuit of cheap(er) eats here and decided to stop in after hearing a coworker discuss this place. Know what snagged me? 0.50¢ jumbo wings. They also have unlimited pasta on Wednesday, but I know which side my bread is buttered on! Wings come coated in either BBQ, hot, or teriyaki. The teriyaki sauce was very good and the pasta looked delicious enough to tempt me into try. Stopping back in to try their other weekly specials may have to happen. But that apple pie with cinnamon crumbles... Average apple pie made a lot better by the cinnamon crumbles. I want the crumbles in a bowl with some berries and yogurt. So good. Not a bad spot to eat at for the price. read more

See all

BEST BREKKY EVER. Slayed. Feels like your hometown diner but better. Everyone at the table was happy. Good service too

Surprisingly good. I really like Crosswinds for lunch. The wait is never too long, the food is solid, and the prices aren't bad.

On a trip to Nantucket, I went to the Crosswinds Restuarant & Bar at the airport. We weren't taking a flight, but it was close to where we were staying and had pretty decent food. As an added bonus, they had no trouble seating 13 of us on a busy Sunday morning. It took a little while to get the food -- which is probably expected when you've got 13 people in your party -- but the meal was fairly decent. Prices were very reasonable, and I had an omelette which ran $7-$8. Our waitress could have been a little more attentive with coffee refills, but it was fairly busy at the time we were there. The portions were good -- the toast was huge -- but the homefries were definitely lacking in quality, at least as far as I was concerned. Still, a pretty good breakfast meal, and if you're waiting for a plane at the Nantucket Airport, this is probably a pretty good option to grab something to eat. read more

They do a good job here. Got the burger with bacon and mushrooms and it was great. Fries were really good as well. Worth the stop for a bite to eat if you stuck at the airport. Or stop on bye, eat lunch and watch the airplanes. read more

If I was rating this on how sick I got from the food then it would be a solid 4 stars. All the food is frozen low quality junk food. I should have known when I saw most of the plates going back half full. read more

When the lear jets line up to punch out on a Sunday and the kids at the Crosswinds airport restaurant hang on the balcony mouthing "cool" at the sonic boom of every take off, you've got to wonder if the realtors disclosed the airport noise to the home buyers directly under the flight path. Suprisingly good food and a bar are in store for visitors waiting on ACK's joke of a TSA screening. Chowda is excellent, they have a kids menu, decent salads, and above average bar food. This is not a destination restaurant, but it is a good bet if you are across the street at the Nantucket Inn. Crosswinds' covered balcony is the answer to a rainy day activity for children when the airport isn't fogged in. Alcoholic libations assist weary Moms checking facebook and the weather on their iPhone longing for sun in the upcoming forecast. read more

Crosswinds "saved the day" tonight (the restaurant we originally had reservations at via Open Table turned out to be closed....), and reminded me how consistently "solid" this place is. Yes, it's in the airport (and aside from Nantucket, where else would you voluntarily eat AT the airport), yes, it's essentially a dinner, and yes, the service is usually a tad scattered. That said, the food is more than decent, and Larry is an extremely gracious host. Don't expect Michelin Star food, but do expect solid diner+ fare with interesting specials and welcoming staff pretty much 365 days a year. read more

Literally the slowest service on the planet. Went with 3 other adults and two kids. Ordered basic meals and waited over an hour to get it. Families coming in after us got served before us with some of the same things we ordered (ie, children's pizza and fries, buttered pasta). No one came by to check on us, refill waters etc. never come here. The food is not worth the wait. read more

Excellent lobster Thermidor for $19.95! What a deal! I wish they offered this in Summer. read more

Crosswinds Restaurant & Bar - Jen will take great care of you:alwa - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

While the food is usually pretty good, and the atmosphere is lively, the service never fails to disappoint. You need to give yourself plenty of time if you plan to eat prior to a flight out. Also, if you like watching airplanes take off and land, it's a good spot for watching. read more

Ah... the only thing bad about this place is it usually means you're leaving ACK. Great breakfast, affordable given the location. Watch planes take off and land, jumbo private jets, people from every walk of life. They've just renovated the bar area so its a sweet spot to check in for a quick cocktail. The coffee shop always has fresh brew and some muffins or other snackie type stuff. read more

Note: Ordered - Turkey Stuffing Sandwich, 2 bowls clam chowder They lost a star due to false advertisement, but I will get into that shortly. Waitstaff was attentive, and they have a solid 8/10 for their chowder... that gave them four stars. The star that was lost was due to the menu... we both had bowls of the chowder on my boyfriend who dines here monthly, raving about it insisted we had it. It was really good, I will give him that... tasted fresh vs. reheated Progresso or Campbell Soup. Fourth star was still there... That fourth star left like a tip in a Seinfeld episode, because of the sandwich... they knew we were splitting it... we specifically asked for it while excluding ingredients listed on the menu we did not want to have. Imagine our surprise when it arrives STUFFED with lettuce, and like two pieces of turkey, a small shmear of stuffing... but menu says no lettuce... We end up with a pathetically wrapped piece of 1 slice of turkey, a bit of stuffing and a smaller bit of cranberry.... Disappointed. read more

Everything could use a little seasoning.... That being said it's a diner breakfast, hands down.. Our 21 month old was in heaven, pancakes and planes... He was constantly looking at the planes coming and going. Sitting outside was a pleasure... It is loud as you are basically sitting on the Tarmac, that gives it the small nantucket airport feel. The food. Not seasoned at all.. The eggs were good, the home fries were actually pretty good, though they could give you more than the 5 or so they give you... You get one sausage patty which also was a bit odd... With all the great bakery's you would think they would have the Portuguese bread or herb bread.. Nope, just standard white, wheat or rye... The pancakes looked like pancakes from a box, nothing special... But the price is definitely right... And it is fun for kids that like planes.. The other big knock, no kids menu for breakfast.. Seemed odd.. read more

I think this is a fairly priced restaurant with good food. No wonder the locals like it!

Because this restaurant is at the airport, I grab food here pretty regularly between flights. I hate to say this, but I've never been to any other restaurant where the service is CONSISTENTLY lacking. If you're in any sort of hurry, it's not worth it to stop in. The food is decent but the service is beyond slow and the employees are rude. I have never had a positive experience here, and it's a shame because it has such great potential. It is unfortunate that this restaurant is the airport restaurant. They definitely need some new management. read more

- great chowder and fish sandwiches and breakfast - I wish the manager? - Wasn't so hot & cold - we used to get seated right away then it's like he purposely ignores us and so does waitstaff- maybe it's us - I read some comments and realize these folks have a good kitchen but could use some help with customer service - there are far far worse airport restaurants, In all fairness read more

This review is based on just one meal choice, one I remembered from enjoying last year. No comment on the other menu items not having tried them, but the Thursday night special ribs choice is the best meal deal on the island. The meat was falling off the bone, the bbq sauce was excellent, the potato salad and cole slaw were tastifully prepared, and the accompanying cornbread was the perfect addition to the meal. I hesitated writing this review at the risk of causing a Thursday night 'run for the ribs', but needless to say, without a doubt, for me this was a memorable meal. read more

If you want to support an establishment that goes above and beyond, bring your business here! In this crazy Covid world, our daughter did not want to dine inside and outdoor seating was not available due to social-distant placing between diners who were already seated. We started to leave and were in the parking lot when the manager stopped us and asked why we we were exiting. After we explained, he found us a table at an adjacent picnic area and served us. I was blown away! Dinner for three was economical and well-portioned. I had eaten a few nights earlier at another Nantucket restaurant that carries 4-5 stars and the service at Crosswinds was heads and shoulders above the other. read more

The joke is that at Nantucket Airport you can't get a flight and a cup of coffee on the same day, but we found the Crosswinds Restaurant at the airport delightful, with tasty breakfast, sweet service and fine cafe. read more

Tried this restaurant again for its Saturday night fried chicken takeout, in an effort to help them stay alive given pandemic. Dinner was supposed to come with biscuits but there were no biscuits when we got it home (ended up making my own biscuits). Chicken for me was inedible (my husband thought it was okay, but I think frozen TV dinner would have been better... I ate two bites and couldn't stomach any more). Seemed like covered in stale shake and bake coating and over done at that. Gravy was awful too. I wish them well but plan never to go back. I concluded that the last time, but wanted to give them another chance. My mistake. Giving them two stars since maybe the rest of the menu is better and they're on hard times with the pandemic. read more

I had breakfast for dinner last night and it was the best thing I have ever had. The service was good and the food was great! My only complaint is that the airplanes would make so much noise if you sat outside. Definitely go on Tuesdays and get the prime rib. Every day they have a different special so go go go! read more

As planes flew overhead, forks flew into our mouths. I dined here with a big group of my friends for breakfast. I ordered the short stack of buttermilk pancakes and they were delectable. Not too sweet, just right. Unfortunately they mixed up my friends order so he couldn't even start eating until we were all mostly done. Also our waitress had quite the attitude and didn't seem passionate about her job. Overall a good place to dine. read more

Crosswinds Restaurant & Bar - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

Pretty average all-around. This is the only option for eating or drinking at ACK, so they must do good business, and Crosswinds is almost always crowded. The food is fine - nothing to write home about - and the service is usually slow. I prefer to sit at the bar for obvious reasons, and I've met quite a few interesting characters there over the years! read more

The only thing going for this place is the airport. With so many flight delays due to weather they have a captive audience. While the food tasted ok, the small portions should be an embarrassment, however their crowning achievement is the poor service. While I'm sure they rely on seasonal help as does most of Nantucket in the summer time, a little training would go a long way. It is clear this place thrives on the ability to gouge their customers on the way off the island. I ordered a hamburger with fries, I received a grossly overcooked piece of burger and 8, yes 8 fries. My wife ordered the "Special" which was shrimp scampi, there were 3 shrimp and maybe a cup of noodles for $13. Our bill for the food and water was nearly $40. The wait was over 45 minutes which had us scrambling to catch out flight. NOT worth the time or money. read more

Quick flight layover. Airport crew said this place had good food. They were right. We say at the counter and ordered breakfast. I had the Steak Benedict with breakfast potatoes. The steak was shaved prime rib. Wonderful breakfast. Great staff. read more

We stopped in for a meal before heading home after a trip to the island for the day. Unlike most restaurants at commercial service airports, Crosswinds caters to both flyers and local diners. Just as well, the food is good, the service is attentive, the prices are reasonable, and with a patio looking out over the aircraft parking apron, it's a great spot for people watching. Our salads and fish 'n chips did not disappoint. read more

On our vacation in Nantucket, it was super rare to find a restaurant or bar where we didn't like something about it. Unfortunately, this was one of those instances. We were waiting in the bar with our friends who had already been stuck in the airport for 5 hours waiting for their flight to take off, so we were all drinking at the bar to keep them company. My friend proceeded to order a beer and when the bartender handed it over she tipped over the bottle and it spilled all over my friend - from her hair down to her shoes and all over her jacket! Now, these things happen and that is fine - but the bartender did not say sorry, did not help with giving her napkins, AND made us pay for the bill. Not cool. read more

Terrible service. Average food. I had clam chowder and a fish sandwich. The clam chowder seemed like it was food service soup. The fish had too much breading. It took about an hour to get our food. The server was not helpful in any way. It seemed that she was put off by any requests from the table. Terrible. read more

Excellent food, great service! I stop in a few times a year when I happen to be at the airport. I particularly like the Portuguese Scramble and Salmon Eggs Bennedict. Prices are reasonable for the area. Service is generally quick in my experience. read more

As a pilot I fly all over the Country. Most pilots I know agree with me that Crosswinds has absolutely THE BEST Clam Chowder in the Country. Lobster rolls are pretty good too. read more

I was concerned as we were seated as I heard another customer ask the waitress why her eggs took so long. I believe that she left without being served. Unfortunately, we would have had to as well, had we not budgeted plenty of extra time before boarding. When our food did arrive, almost an hour after we ordered, one person still had to wait until most of our table was halfway through their meals before receiving her meal. This is unacceptable - especially at an airport where people have flights to catch. The food was average for an airport restaurant. read more

A pleasant surprise in the Nantucket airport, and recommended by the staff at the Nantucket Inn. Extensive menu that spans breakfast to dinner, and all with a home cooked touch. And there is a bar in there too. read more

A great place to grab a quick bit when you're on the go or waiting for a flight. Local cops go here, always a good sign that the food is a value. Atmosphere is a bit loud and nothing fancy. Pasta orchiette is very good, also tried the Jambalaya. The staff is personable as well. read more
