I was a little hesitant given the ratings but I have no regrets. You order at the window and pick up your food so not much service to speak of, but the cashier's were nice and helpful and the bartender crushed it. I had a banana mudslide concoction that was absolutely delicious and perfect on a warm late summer day. I will almost always go for a lobster roll (warm with butter, please) and this time was no different. Price was on par with what you'd expect for a lobster roll on the island and the portions were more than I expected, a lovely surprise. Tables were clean and I snagged a picnic table with a view of the water. Needless to say I was happy as a clam and would absolutely come back.

In this episode of eating my way through Oak Bluffs, I made my usual stop at Nancy's -- a must-hit…read morespot whenever I'm on the island. This place has a little bit of everything, but there are two things you can't leave without trying. First, the fried shrimp. I know, it sounds basic, but these are on another level. Lightly battered, seasoned just right, and cooked perfectly -- no heavy breading to hide the flavor, just clean, fresh shrimp done right. Second, head downstairs to their outdoor bar, Donovan's Reef, and get yourself a Dirty Banana. Think of it as a Mudslide's cooler, smoother cousin. Donovan himself makes every drink, and if you're like me and don't want your cocktail overpowered by alcohol, this is the perfect balance -- sweet, smooth, and dangerously easy to sip. Nancy's is usually one of my first stops when I hit the island, and for good reason. Simple, fresh, and consistent. Verdict: Island staple, no debate. I eat, I judge. The fork stops with me -- your feelings aren't on the menu.

A Vineyard favorite for families and visitors alike…read more We celebrated Father's Day a little early this year since I'll be traveling, and Noman's was the perfect choice. Located just off State Beach, Noman's captures everything that's great about summer on Martha's Vineyard. The outdoor setting is fantastic--live music, picnic tables, open space for kids to run around, and a relaxed atmosphere that somehow feels both lively and laid back at the same time. The staff deserves special recognition. The bartenders were outstanding: friendly, engaging, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. That positive energy carries throughout the entire venue and makes guests feel welcome from the moment they arrive. The food was very good overall and definitely better than what you'd expect from a casual outdoor dining spot. Drinks were excellent, the entertainment added just the right touch, and the whole experience felt effortlessly fun. My only suggestion for improvement would be the barbacoa tacos. The version we had was more like shredded beef and a bit dry. True barbacoa is rich, tender, and full of flavor, so I know this dish could be even better with a few tweaks. Also offer a fish taco. The shrimp tacos are good, but everyone knows there's no New England shrimp. Or at least have a fish and chips option. There's plenty of cod and haddock. Heck a fish sandwich would suffice. That said, one menu item certainly won't keep us away. Noman's has created something special--a place where families gather, friends reconnect, visitors feel like locals, and summer memories are made. We are locals and frequent this place, so we'll definitely be back.

I have many good things to write about the food and service at Red Cat BUT…read more... THE PRICES ARE CRAZY!!! I'm attaching a photo of the menu from Sunday May 26, 2025 and here are some entree examples: - Braised short rib $58 - Grilled swordfish $53 - Seared tuna $55 - Scallops over lobster risotto $74 I'm very familiar with the cost of high quality ingredients and labor but these prices are ridiculous... especially when you consider it's a casual setting (paper napkins, no tablecloth, big open, loud bar area, etc.). Beach Road restaurant (also on Martha's Vineyard) has similar quality food (maybe better), better service and much nicer ambiance/setting and is at least 10% less expensive. It will be interesting to see if Red Cat management responds to this review and tries to defend their prices. Good luck doing so because there is no reasonable defense.

It can get crowded around prime time, but the service is incredibly quick, so you won't be waiting long. Roughly $14 for a cheeseburger but it was huge, tender, and incredibly juicy.
