Samantha C.

Adorable!!! inside this restaurant makes me feel like I just got off a three month fishing excursion and I'm finally getting a brewski with my Bros. I felt like a true New Englander inside of this establishment. Our bartender was so kind and the espresso martini was fab! I imagine in the summer it's probably hard to get a table here because it's not very big and it's right in the heart of the shopping area of OB!

Outdoor patio

Amazing services and food! Great out door seating nice combination of healthy and savory options!

Stopped in for lunch before heading to the beach! The chips and guac was the perfect starter on a warm summer day sitting outside. The lobster roll was also amazing! Lots of beer and drink options, I wasn't a fan of the shandy cocktail I ordered but the delicious food and great service made up for it!

Amazing food and beer. I didn't see much of the inside because the weather outside was amazing, and their patio was very enjoyable. We were looking for something refreshing after a hot beach day, and they provided everything we needed. The guacamole was some of the most flavorful I've had. The lobster roll was massive and delicious (though I would probably omit the red onion next time). Their saison also had a ton of flavor and I would've loved to have a few while sitting on the beach!

Flight of beer and cider
Carly R.

This was an unexpected gem! We hadn't planned to stop here but with a quick search Offshore Ale looked like a good choice for lunch and wow am I glad we stopped! We ordered a flight of beers and cider and all were great, out of what we tried hubby did select one to get a glass. The pizza was delicious really phenomenal toppings and crust. The BEST part though was the clam chowder. I tried clam chowder at 5 different places during our trip and Offshore Ale had the best clam chowder out of all the ones I tried. Friendly staff and service was nice. It was crowded and hard to walk in, they really pack the people in but we sat at a window and it was cozy for two. Definitely recommend.

We had a perfect lunch here in late September on a picture perfect day! Being outside surrounded by gorgeous flowers made it seem like we weren't looking at a parking lot with cars constantly passing inches from us. My 80yr old mom and I spent the day exploring and were in search of an amazing lobster roll, we found it here! Outdoor seating was ideal and our server was attentive. I had a creative cocktail and we shared lunch and dessert. The lobster roll was pretty epic actually and the fries a perfect compliment. Chocolate cake finished off our amazing lunch and we wandered off to find the gingerbread houses not far away. Only a water view would have made this better, but the lobster roll was so good I'm glad we didn't pick a spot with a view.

Tavern Burger
Bryan P.

I didn't eat anything too amazing today, but the burger was pretty good, and others in our group enjoyed their meals. It's a nice restaurant to hang out in. They brew their own beers here, so the selection is limited--make sure to check out your options beforehand. Service was fine and quick.

Hot buttered lobster rolls are a hit. Generously portioned and served on a soft brioche roll. This is a must visit spot in Oak Bluff.

Gluten free lobster roll
Demeka F.

We really enjoyed our visit to Offshore ale! We remembered visiting this restaurant a couple years ago because I was able to order a gluten free lobster roll, and we were on the search for good gluten free options again. We weren't disappointed. We sat outside before it got too busy, and it was great weather. Our server was great, she was really kind and prompt. For an appetizer we ordered a shrimp salad, which was a nice size, although I wish there were a couple more shrimp. For our meals, we ordered the ribs and gluten free lobster roll. The ribs were fantastic! We are picky rib eaters because we think our at home ribs are so good, but these were great. The ribs were meaty and fall off the bone tender. The sauce was good and so was the coleslaw. The gluten free bread was nice and soft and held up pretty well. I do think you get less meat with the gluten free roll since it's smaller than a regular roll, but the roll was still good. The fries were also great. Overall, the visit was great and we plan to visit again.

True type of pub/tavern feel on the island. Super nice patio to sit on and grab drinks and food. Large variety of drinks to choose from. Overall good experience and good for catching up with friends or a family dinner.

Potato Pizza -10/10. Unexpectedly delicious
Whisper W.

This place was awesome! We sat outside and shared a few items and got a flight of beer. Our server was attentive and excellent. Local Martha's Vineyard Oysters - 10/10 Brie with pesto and roasted Garlic: 10/10 Potato Pizza - 10/10. I wasn't sure about this but had never seen this in a menu before so I had to try it. So good! One slice is all you need.

Bbq chicken pizza. Amazing. Highly recommend.
Mads B.

I don't know why everyone isn't raving about this place. One of the best pizzas I've ever had. Sure, you don't think of pizza when you think MV, but the BBQ chicken pizza we had here was amazing. I usually think chicken on pizza is dry and rubbery, but this chicken was perfectly moist. The toppings were yummy, and the sauce was very flavorful. The crust had a nice crunch. The beer selection is good. Plus, there's a full bar and wine options. Something for everyone. Our service was friendly and attentive even on a busy night. The checkin process was easy. They take your name and number, then text you a link to track your progress on the waitlist. They had live music on the Thursday night at 7 when we were there. It was fun music - loud, but not unbearable. A few people were dancing even though the place is small. Highly recommend. Expect a wait if you go at prime time.

Corner restaurant with a nautical theme. Very homey with a really nice fireplace. Greeted at the door and taken to a nice table by the fire. They have a really nice bar. Ordered their homemade clam chowder. Really fresh and creamy. Good taste nicely spiced. Also ordered a Brick oven Margherita pizza. Watched it being made and it came out hot and fresh. The waiters were nice took our order quickly and delivered drinks and food fast. Nice tribute to firefighters with patches on the wall.

Hi, you list having vegan options here, but all I see on your menu is an impossible burger on brioche. Brioche unfortunately isn't vegan because of the eggs. Do you have other items?

They have a number of great salads and take requests

A must on the island. Highly recommend as the food, drinks, service, and vibe is great.read more

My husband and I went to Nantucket for a long weekend and stayed with a friend of ours. He had told…read moreus how much fun Cisco Brewery was, and that they have great bands...so we Ubered up there on a Saturday. We got there fairly early but the first band had already started, and the area under the tent was already full. We got some drinks, checked out the space and eventually we were able to snag some chairs under the tent. The outside beer area had alcohol drinks as well. 2 of us had tequila drinks, and 2 tried the beers. We were all really happy with our choices. All of the food there came from food trucks, and there were a lot of random vendors, which made it a fun, unique experience! All of our food and drinks were great. I also bought a few hats- the hat selection was really good from the band and the brewery. They also had a shop along with the other vendors who were set up. We stayed longer than expected- the first band (Grateful Dead cover band) was amazing, so we stayed to check out the second band (who were really good also). We eventually gave up our seats under the tent to some very happy people! We will definitely go back to the Cisco brewery the next time we're in Nantucket- it was a great experience all around! Everyone we encountered- whether they worked there, or weee there for fun were very nice and friendly. There was a dance area in front of the stage and people definitely used it - so there was great people watching in a super fun setting!

Omg. Lobster roll review incoming -…read more I just came back from a 5 day Martha's trip, and made it a mission to try *almost* every lobster roll on the island. In reality, I hit 7 different spots, and (to my surprise!!) Nomans was my favorite. In fact, it was so good, I ordered it again on my last day, so I could end on a high note. For reference, I love my lobster rolls cold, on a warm toasted bun. My friends that like warm buttery lobster rolls were also pleased with theirs. My gf friend also enjoyed hers served on a salad. Other food at Nomans is good (I had a salad one day that was just fine), but honestly the lobster roll is the standout. They offer great cocktails (loved the coconut water one!) and a nice beer selection. Excellent vibes, family (and adult) friendly, and conveniently located next to our hotel (Island Inn).

I would give this place a zero if I could. The summer is peak season Friday is especially a massive…read morenight. My zero is the restroom situation is a disaster. They need to add a couple luxury restroom trailers. It makes no sense that lines for the bathrooms are that long and have one stall and one toilet for thousands for what could be upwards of 1000 guests. One Friday had over 200 people waiting in lines for over 2 hrs to get in. Women ask to sneak ahead the men's line because eg woman's line is excessively long. For the clientele they're attracting and the money they're minting, they should invest in high season to create a better guest experience with the bathroom. It's ATROCIOUS.

What a great venue -- almost don't wanna write this because I feel like there's a hidden gem here…read moreto be tucked away for myself and only shared with friends. But I'm writing this to help support the kind of business we need here on Cape Cod. And to provide a little kind and constructive feedback. It's a beautiful open wooden A-frame kind of feel with a cool loft and outside "porch" kind of space that would work in any season. The pizza was solid. The beer was excellent if a little pricy. The review of the meatball sub from friends was "it's good." Cheese board was enormous and could feed a whole soccer team and the Pretzel is generic, store bought and not recommended. The service was a little weird -- instead of getting a waiter, you just have to kinda fend for yourself -- initially it seemed like just an online menu but they do have printed menus. Seems like a missed opportunity to have a server actually wait the tables, make recommendations and earn a tip. Instead it's a hodgepodge of food runners and no real direction what to order. And the strangest part was I had a conversation with one of these folks and she was so terrific and kind I wished she'd waited on us! Anyways, in conclusion ambiance =5. Food and drink = 4. Service =3 (not the fault of the servers -- just a whacky service plan.) overall 4. Thank you!
