    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.

Home fries need to be spectacular to impress me, and these were truly out of this world. I could eat them every day! I have no complaints about anything on my plate. The scrambled eggs were perfectly prepared (I asked for them well-done) and of course the home fries were the star of the show. My latte was also very good, and these mug it was served in was so cute. I tried a bite of my friend's chocolate chip waffle, which was recommended to us by a coworker who said it was the best on the island. I can't say I have tried any other waffles on the island, but this one was quite delicious and it would be difficult to top it. Even though it was busy late on Saturday morning, my party of two was seated right away. Sure, you're sitting close to the people next to you, but I do not mind. The place is well-decorated and has a pleasantly clean vibe about it. I am looking forward to trying dinner here as well in the near future!

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.

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.

    I know, it's closed. Closed in October of '24…read more I had breakfast there with my friends from the Nantucket Amateur Radio Association in June '24; a weekly occurrence on Tuesdays with this radio gang. A great breakfast. Old school. Diner-style grill restaurant. Everything was made to order and they offered very good and complicated breakfasts: avocados, lobster, and poached this that and the other. We heard about the doughnuts. Never had one. In September of '24 the Inky reported that the Downyflake was to permanently close. So we made a day trip just to try the doughnuts. In fact, we did this in October the weekend before they closed. Off of Straight Wharf, a taxi ride out, bought a few doughnuts, uber'ed back to town, got some coffee from The Hub, and walked and sat on our bench on Easy Street over looking the Wharf Rat Club. Heaven. Everyone should experience Nantucket. I will say, we were lucky and happy to experience the doughnuts. The doughnuts, yes, are still sticking to my ribs a year later. More oil than the Exxon Valdez. We will miss you old friend. Even though the rumor is a new one will open... someday.

My sister who has lived on ACK for 30+ years loves their doughnuts - and yes they are VERY good. My favs are the chocolate frosted and the apple cider (in season). These really are small doughnuts - so you can eat 2 without too much guilt. I was craving some linguica sausage - I grew up eating it on pizzas and breakfast sandwiches in the summer in New Beford, MA. I saw that the menu had breakfast sandwiches (with your choice of meat) - Unfortunately they waitress informed me that linguica was not an option on this sandwich - which it really should be!. I opted for a side of the linguini and a english muffin to craft my own sandwich (AND - Bonus to save room for a doughnut or 2) It was tasty - but not the linguica of my childhood that oozed red grease, this one was pretty lean and more dense than I remember. I still ate every bite. The highlight was the doughnut dessert, these have not changed in 20 years.
