When Nantucket calls off I go. Especially when it's the daffodil festival . This is an extremely busy time to find a restaurant but we were lucky enough to get a table at the Charlie. . As soon as I walked in the door I spied the Lonster quesadillas and they looked amazing. When I asked the waiter he said hands down they were the best thing on the menu and indeed they were. Jam Packed with plenty of lobster chunks it made this New Englander very happy! read more

The Charlie Noble - Lobster Quesidillas - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

More than anything, the reason i recommend the Charlie Noble is the space. The dining room is huge, and never seems loud. This is in stark contrast to every other restaurant we've to in Nantucket, which have been small with tables packed pretty close together. Even with sports on the tv and people at the bar, you can talk at a reasonable volume here and not overhear everyone else's conversations. The shishito peppers were nice, fish and chips exactly what you'd hope for, and Guinness is on tap, which I can never resist. Lobster mac and cheese left something to be desired on the cheese front, but the lobster was nice and tender. And the service is always friendly. This is not a place that will blow anyone's mind, but I have never had a bad dish here. Still my favorite place for dinner on Nantucket. read more

We were last on Nantucket about nine years ago and went to a highly-rated and chic small plates place. While the tastes there were good, it was very expensive and we left hungry and going to get pizza after! So this visit we wanted a casual pub with good food, good drinks, and less pretentious vibe. Charles Noble delivered. Their outside patio is beautiful. Interior is modern and spacious. All of our food was very good--and generous portions! We shared the smoked bluefish appetizer and fried cauliflower. So so so good--both. I had the smaller sized lobster roll which was huge. The buns are larger than other places. Toasted perfectly with tons of big lobster chunks. My hubby had the fish and chips, also delicious. We both agreed the French fries were really light and tasty. I had a good Manhattan. He had local IPAs. Wonderful server spending her second summer on Nantucket (she is from Bulgaria). Very attentive and nice. We returned to our B and B very contented. Cheers to Charles Noble for a great dining experience for us. read more

We were in Nantucket for the day. Since it's off peak season not many options for lunch. We came across The Charlie Noble and thought we'd try it. Restaurant just a few mins from ferry docks. Friendly welcoming staff. Our waiter n bar tender were so helpful. Unlike other restaurants in Nantucket this is bigger spacious restaurant .Nicely decorated interior. We tried the brunch menu. So many options n was hard to choose. But we settled on lobster Reuben n Korean chicken Sammie. Omg that lobster Reuben was to die for. Generous portions of lobster n every bite/ morsel was delicious. And the fries that came with it was so good . The Korean chicken Sammy too was good n spicy. We just polished off our plates. Not a morsel left. And then walked away to burn the calories. Tx god for that. What a great brunch/ lunch it was. Thank you the Charlie noble. Wi certainly may come back if we r in the area. read more

Get the lobster quesadilla if you go here, it is out of this world! My friend and I came here for dinner on our first night here. We didn't have a reservation and we walked in and were seated immediately. The service was quick, but at times almost a little too quick. We ordered the lobster quesadilla and the caesar salad to share. I'd recommend both, especially the lobster quesadilla because it is unique and the flavors worked really well together. The salad was also good, but the crunchy pieces of bread that served as giant croutons were the best part. The servers were a little too eager to clear our plates. I was putting more salad onto my plate when a server came up and tried to take it away from me and asked if i was done! I appreciated that they were paying attention to us and not leaving us with a bunch of plates but please do not take plates away as we are attempting to serve! read more

After a pretty below average meal, my fiancé and I were on the hunt for a great meal. Luckily we found it here. I got the lobster quesadilla which was amazing, it had a ton of lobster and cheese on it. The corn inside was also a nice addition so that it didn't overwhelm the lobster flavor. Then it was topped with a drizzle of chipotle aioli which really brought it together. The whole quesadilla was a good size and great to share. Moving on to the crab cake BLT which we liked even better. The crab cake was seasoned perfectly, and had the perfect soft inside but crispy outside. The bun, lettuce, and tomato went so well with it. One of the best that I've had. The french fries were a nice touch and were also cooked well. I thought these broke up the crab cake nicely to get a taste of something else. This was so good we even thought about coming back here for dinner but were too full once the time came. read more

Very impressed by the food here! Not just the seafood, but the craftsmanship and thought that went to creating each dish. It makes for great presentation and texture. TLDR - get the lobster roll and the manchego crab dip, and crab cakes! MANCHEGO CRAB DIP*** Melty, deeply savory, with crab finely mixed in to create a smooth texture served in a skillet so that the edges are nice and crispy without any burning. Served with tortilla chips (feel homemade, not sure tho) with a great crunch. I was shocked by how much I liked it as though I've had lots of crab, I don't usually end up loving it the way I did this - and the crab flavor was pretty strong as well! CRAB CAKE*** The appetizer comes with just one crab cake so if you're feeling crab cakes, maybe get one of the entrees. I'm also not normally a fan of crab cakes but I saw the good reviews and I'm so glad we did. This crispy, delicate exterior that precedes a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth crab patty that while has crab flavor also is nicely salty, savory, and other herbs and flavors kick in as well. I wish I was more well versed to describe each of them but all I knew was that it was yummy! And I kept going back for more - another dish I was surprised I really enjoyed! LOBSTER ROLL*** Interesting take with the nicely toasted bread here as it was not cut all the way so it's almost like a bread bowl/sandwich combo which was cool. You get big pieces of really TENDER lobster topped with some herb garnishes and what I think was crispy onions? Either way the contrast in textures and flavors created a really diverse flavor profile that I loved. It was a cold lobster roll with mayo but nothing was too overpowering. COD FISH SANDWICH They did a great job with this; thick patty of cod that was so so tender, melt in your mouth, fried to a beautiful golden brown and the add-ons created again a diverse flavor profile that takes it to the next level. You get the nice sourness, freshness and crunch from the pickles; the tartar sauce had a little color to it, maybe reminiscent of thousand island just a little bit? But still mostly tasted like tartar sauce - just taken up a notch! Fries were also beautifully crispy and seasoned, with a great hearty and savory potato-ey flavor. CLAM CHOWDER This chowder in particular tasted a little sweeter/milkier than the other ones I've had so far; it was yummy though the clam meat was a little tougher than I was used to getting, and the flavor wasn't as deeply savory/salty as the others I've had so my family didn't feel it was the best we had on our city-hopping trip but it was still enjoyable. Can't comment on the chicken sandwich since I didn't get to eat any of it but a pic is included for your reference :) read more

Wanted to find a nice dinner spot for our last night on the island. They have a large patio with a great view. The fish and chips were pretty good and you could tell the fish was fresh. I always hate knocking stars for service, but being a Sunday and it wasn't substantially busy our server was less than attentive and had a terrible attitude. It also took them almost 20 minutes to take our drink/food order. Would definitely go back for the location and view but the service really put a damper on it. read more

Straight off the ferry, head to The Charlie Noble for a coveted back patio table (water view) just as they opened on a busy summer Saturday. The oysters were plump and tasty, the best I've ever had, served with a cucumber infused vinegar, carefully added to my oyster a drop at a time, coupled with refreshing cocktails ...and then the lobster roll arrived. It was jaw dropping, loaded with fresh lobster piled high on a toasted to perfection brioche bun. It was a perfect balance of buttery goodness that was flavorful, yet light enough to allow the lobster to be the star of the show. I left satisfied without feeling overly full and energized enough to wander the shop of downtown Nantucket. Without a doubt, I'd recommend The Charlie Noble. Friendly service, and I will absolutely round back. read more

Great place to visit while in Nantucket! I was working the wine and food festival and had a few hours to spare and was starving. They had my favorite rose BTG so I had to make a quick stop. I ordered the tuna poke bowl which was very fresh but also a bit smaller than others I've tried in my opinion and quite expensive too. Their outdoor dining is cute and not far from the ocean so the views are nice. An easy place to sit down for a quick lunch while shopping downtown. Service was slow but not sure how many staff were on that day or time. Cheers! read more

Fine spot for lunch. Not a lot of great options for lunch on the island like there is for dinner. The fried fish sandwich is good but its alot of bread compared to the size of the piece of fish. Lobster quesadilla is good as well. They give you a good amount of Lobster. Simon the patio overlooking the harbor if it is nice out! read more

The staff was really nice and the place was clean. We had very nice cocktails and didn't have to wait long for our food. I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and it was pretty watery w without a lot of flavor. Salting the pasta maybe would have helped and more cheese because I didn't feel like it was mac n cheese, I felt it was lobster, some macaroni, and a few pieces of shredded cheese trying to hold it together with too much water. I didn't even finish it but I ate the lobster in it because it was also expensive, which I expect on Big Island. He ordered the surf and turf burger and was not impressed as it was overcooked and also lacked flavor. He seemed to like the fries and that was good. I tasted his and it was definitely over cooked. Next time we're around, we'll give it another shot, but it'll be a while. read more

After 20 years of coming to Nantucket, this is the 1st time I've been here (& my 1st Yelp review)! My mom is gluten free & this place is great with accommodating gluten/cross contamination. We saw that on here, but the other gluten free reviews I saw are older. Here to confirm that they are accurate! Our waiter was awesome as well. We loved the disco balls & AC! Pictured: Noble Margarita Mixed Greens Salad Lobster Mac & Cheese (* Did not get gluten free) Lobster Roll (Gluten Free) Oysters (Gf friendly sauces) Fries (Also gluten free - this isn't the case everywhere!). We loved everything we got! Only pitfall was the bathroom. The floor was soaked (and we both had long pants on of course) & there were no paper towels. Other than that, we highly recommend!! It can be tough finding places as a family that are gf friendly & I've found there aren't enough reviews that mention it, especially when the food and service is also good! read more

We visit Charlie Noble every time we go to Nantucket. The food is consistently good, occasionally very good. Prices are reasonable for the touristy part of Nantucket. The point deductions are due to inconsistent service and that paying via credit card defaults to a 25% tip. Management is going to wind up costing their wait staff as people react negatively to this. read more

Great lobster roll! I asked for fried onions on the side. They sprinkled it with old bay seasoning, which I don't love (you could ask them to omit it if you don't like that taste), but it was really delicious! Nice ambiance on the patio looking out into the water. Very friendly service. read more

Excellent food & service. Fantastic atmosphere. I loved the decor and has a great Nantucket vibe.

It was our first time at The Charlie Noble on our Nantucket trip!! When looking at previous reviews on Yelp, I knew I had to try the seafood boil with king crab legs and shrimp!! They made it very tasty with cajun (I think) seasoning and plenty of butter!!!! It was a satisfying meal!!! My bf had a lobster roll and it was a giant lobster roll!!! The meat was fresh!! Only one comment from him that it might taste better with some mayonnaise!! There were plenty of seats indoor and outdoor!! Their outdoor area is in the back of the building. We were able to bring our dog, which was a plus read more

We were only spending one day in Nantucket. We chose this restaurant as our only sit down restaurant meal while we were there. Overall it was great. Ambiance - outdoor seating near the water - 5 stars Menu options - lots of choices , but expect to spend 40 without a drink unless you just get an appetizer or a kids meal.... Food - I had the "crab boil" as stated on the menu. The server was a little confused and didn't know the menu, which was odd. He kept clarifying with an offering with shrimp and something else. The crab boil was king crab and snow crab plus lots of sides. It was excellent. Expensive as to be expected. We also had the fish and chips. It was cooked well and fries were seasoned well. The kids got the cheeseburger and one we received was completely burned and black. We had to send it back. Other people with us had the lobster quesadilla and they said it was good. Service - I felt like this was actually a 3. The guy assigned to us was nice. He was very personable, but serving and taking our order was a super slow process. He had a a hard time seeing his screen and finding the menu items. Again SUPER nice guy though. Bringing water was slow and not enough. We came right before they opened so we were first to be seated. Whenever we would need help, he was always busy with another table. So we would ask someone else passing by. Both ladies we tried to ask help from both wouldn't help us because they weren't our server. I thought it was odd that they wouldn't help each other out especially if it reflects on the team as a whole. Note that the things were asking for were an extra plate and a spoon.... both times we got something like "well, I am not your server, but your server should be by soon".... our server Overall this has to be a 4 because of the service. read more

The restaurant ambiance is typical nautical and fits with the theme of Nantucket. The food was very good, I had the lobster roll and it was good. The service was slow and it wasn't very busy, it just seemed as if our server was out out by having to be at work. The wine lists have no prices, even for a glass so you have to ask. Let's just say if you don't have any money worries at all; take a risk, I was thrilled to see Sancerre by the glass on the menu. read more

Great lunch or dinner spot. Service was great, interior is nice and spacious. I got the crab cake BLT which was very good, and everyone at my table got the caeser salad which they loved (adding the blackened salmon is the way to go). The tots were ok, a little too fried and crispy for me that you could barely taste the potato. Wouldn't get the tots again read more

We stopped in for dinner on our final night in Nantucket. We got outdoor seating for 10 of us. We were seated at 2 tables six feet apart. We had to wear our masks to be seated and use the restroom. The menu looked fabulous. My drink was fabulous it's was a Van Glyder with Tito, strawberry and.., I also got a Crab Cake BLT. It looked fabulous but the crab cake had no taste. There was no seasoning at all. I couldn't even taste salt and pepper. My nephew got the crab and shrimp boil and that had no taste either. The hostess was wonderful and gracious our server was okay but not the friendliest or engaging. However we still have him a 20% tip read more

Came for lunch with my family. This has a pub type atmosphere but we ended up sitting outside which was nice. Had my kids with me and they were definitely kid friendly with high chairs, crayons, kid's menu. Everything you could want when taking your kids to a restaurant. We each had a drink with our meals. My husband had the French Van Glider and I had the pink Lemonade frose. We each loved our drinks. For my entree, I had the lobster quesadilla and wow it was good. I am still thinking about it. It had so much lobster in it and and an amazing sauce on it that gave it such good flavor. My husband got the surf and turf burger that came with lobster on top of it. He wasn't really a big fan of the burger, but enjoyed the lobster on top of it. I tried it and it was more of a charred type burger that tasted like one someone's dad would grill at a BBQ. It wasn't straight up bad but not really our style. My daughter got the kid's meal burger and she didn't really like it, I suspect for the same reason. The fries that came with my husband's burger were really good though. Service was great. I thought it was expensive compared to what I am used to considering it was $120 pre tip. But, I think that may be standard for Nantucket. I would definitely come here again if ever back on the island. read more
