    I ate my across Nantucket, one lobster roll at a time. This one was my favorite! Forget "best of" lists. So many of those are paid anymore... I tried the "top ranked" ones and they fell short to good ol' Walter's roll. Doughy bread, mayo tang, juicy briny lobster. You won't get a white tablecloth, or any table cloth for that matter. But it is truly legit. I even had one for breakfast.

    Superb! Stopped by for lunch right after I landed in Nantucket. Got the Reuben and cold lobster roll. As far as the value goes, I think you get your money's worth by coming here. The efficiency in service, taste and the cost all make this place stand out amongst other businesses on the island. There isn't anywhere to sit and eat inside as it is a takeout only.

    Our first stop in Nantucket was Walter's Deli, and we're so glad we came! We ordered the Reuben and a cold lobster roll. They take your order efficiently, and the sandwiches are made quickly. Plus, they pack plenty of napkins, which is always a bonus. The Reuben sandwich was, without a doubt, the best I've ever tried. The flavor was perfect - not too bland and not too salty. The worker was incredibly friendly, making the experience even better. I would love to come back and try their other sandwiches!

    Worth every penny!!!!!!! Wow. I will be craving this forever. A Lobster Roll to Remember Every once in a while, you find a spot that captures the pure essence of what Nantucket dining should be simple, fresh, and absolutely unforgettable. Walter's is that spot. I stopped in for their lobster roll, and easily one of the best I've ever had. The roll was packed with thick, juicy pieces of lobster perfectly fresh, tender, and lightly dressed to let the seafood shine. Every bite felt indulgent but balanced, with just the right touch of butter and seasoning. You can tell the quality here is next-level; it tastes like it came straight off the boat that morning. The presentation is unfussy in the best way just a clean, well-made roll that lets the flavor speak for itself. It's the kind of meal that instantly transports you into vacation mode, even if you're just stopping in for a quick bite between beach walks. Walter's itself fits seamlessly into the island's relaxed charm, with friendly walk in service and that quintessential Nantucket vibe. Perfect for a midday lunch or a pre-ferry treat before heading off-island. Bottom line: If you're in Nantucket and looking for the lobster roll that sets the bar, Walter's is it. No gimmicks, just fresh, local perfection.

    The space is a simple service counter setup with takeout only, but don't let that fool you, the food speaks for itself. We had a small mix-up with our order regarding the quantity and temperature, but the staff was helpful in clearing it up. Once we got back to our hotel and dug into the lobster roll, all was forgiven. It was hands-down the best lobster roll we've had on our New England trip, perfectly buttery, fresh, and really packed with lots of lobster.

    We ate lobster rolls from 3 different restaurants in Nantucket and Walter's was our favorite. 1) it had by far the most lobster meat. 2) the lobster salad was simple, great flavor, and the fresh lobster meat had good texture 3) perfectly toasted and crispy bun with a buttery flavor, the bun was sturdy, not soggy, and a great vessel for the lobster meat Really, executing a good lobster roll isn't hard, Walters nailed it. Get a lemonade while you're at it!

    The staff is friendly and service is extremely quick! Food was delicious and portions were generous. An essential stop for any hungry lunch goer!

    Best lobster roll in Nantucket. They have hot and cold lobster rolls and both are outstanding, just depends on your preference. Also, very generous portions of lobster for the price. Highly recommend

    I waited in line around 10 minutes to place my order on a Tuesday at 11:30. My order was ready in 5 minutes. I ordered the chicken pesto panini and expected green pesto, but it only had a tomato sauce on it. Plus the chicken breast was breaded. It was served hot with melted cheese. It was made with quality ingredients and tasted delicious. This is counter service and no where to sit.

    Outstanding! I went here for lunch seeking out a lobster roll, although honestly the entire menu looked amazing. The deli is really just a counter, so you order and give the server your name and they call you when it's done. There's no seating but there are plenty of benches around The lobster roll is mayo-based lobster salad on a buttered, toasted roll. I'm not the biggest mayo fan but this was excellent - not too mayo-y but very well seasoned, and the cool lobster with the warm bun is *chef's kiss.* It's also very reasonably priced for the quality and amount of lobster they give you!

    The best lobster roll with buttered potato bread!

    I've been along the New England states on my quest for the perfect lobster roll. Most rolls have an abundance portion of lobster with either cold (mayo) or hot (butter) on a typical hot dog bun. Walter's in Nantucket was a special find for the three of us. We typically share what we like and do not like about our meals. All three of us agreed that Walter's lobster roll was (hands down) our favorite. It was distinctive from other rolls as it was prepared with a bit of a citrus forward zest and - served on romaine on soft, buttered potato bread. We loved it so much we ordered two more for our trip back on the ferry. Light, savory, with a balance of citron and softness. We enjoyed this game in Nantucket! Thank you for a memorable experience! We shall return....

    I got the eggplant parm sub and it was average. The bread was not very good. Tasted like my school library's eggplant parm sub. It wasn't cheap either. There's so many restaurants on that street so I'd just choose another if youre vegetarian.

The white cheese they used (idk which) was so yummy and added perfect flavor to the bagel sandwich. Most days I'd probably only be able to eat half but I was so hungry today so the full sandwich was good. They serve Starbucks and that was perfectly made as well (I got hot white mocha). There was an awkward situation where one staff member tried to hand us our bagel order then the other staff said it's not ready and they proceeded to go back and forth, confusing us as to whether or not we were okay to take the bag. Turns out it was the correct order, but only half of it. One staff member just wanted to put the second half of the order in the same bag and the other didn't understand that - causing confusion for us as well. But good service for us regardless just a little awkward. Cute store and good breakfast options. Would go back!

So to be able to have something different was a great change of pace from just your typical sandwich. I believe my Wife got the smoked turkey sandwich, added cheese and red onion.

I therefore opted for egg salad on herb bread with lettuce and tomato. We opted to eat our sandwiches there. When I opened the sandwich it was a crumbly mess that fell apart when I tried to pick it up. Both sides of the bread were soggy so it seemed as if the sandwich was made on a wet cutting board, I went back to show the young lady that the sandwich was inedible and she let me order something else and explained that the herb bread tends to be very delicate. I ordered salami and provolone on sourdough with no vegetables as I figured that was hard to screw up. After ordering she went to charge me for the new sandwich even though I didn't and could not eat any of the old sandwich. I had to ask to talk to a manager to explain what happened. He was not apologetic at all even though I showed him the sloppy,wet, falling apart sandwich. He did however make me a new one in the end without charging me. It is a beautiful setting I just think that they need to work on their sandwich making skills and their customer service.

They offer up breakfast sandwiches, lunch options, they even have daily dinner specials like roast turkey one night and a tri-tip another. Some items are great, somethings are ok and somethings are eh? For a one stop shop though, this place is it. A few things: I don't love the donuts, Bake Shop is way better. The lobster salad is delicious. The sammies? They're fine, Something Natural or Henry's are better options, but they suffice. The cookies are incredible. Their dips, their salads - all so good. The produce? I spend all my money on their tomatoes. Anything they grow, you should buy, anything they don't grow is way overpriced. If you have kids, they have a nice little play structure right by the picnic tables (about 6-8 picnic tables) which is fun for my 3 year old, but also my 7 year old. With that, Bartlett's is a Nantucket legend and we must all bow down to Queen B.
