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

    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!

    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!
    Imee V.

    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.

    I got the godfather, their Italian sub. It was pretty good, my only complaint would be that the bread wasn't the best. The service was fast.

    Holy yum. Breakfast bagels were amazing. The bagel itself was dense in a good way. Perfectly crisp…read moreand chewy. Not too hard. I got Asiago cheese bagel (sausage egg and cheese). 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!

    A must visit food establishment when you are in Nantucket…read more Whether or not you are cooking your own meals, or need prepped foods, NANTUCKET MEAT & FISH MARKET is a must visit. The raw meats & seafood section has a well-curated selection of meats, seafood and cuts. The shelves are stocked with items that will go well with the meat and seafood selections cooked in the manner you'll likely choose. Party items like wine, champagne, charcuterie board elements are available too. Their DELI is a great place to get your LOSTER ROLLS or even CRAB SANDWICHES. They make and serve coffee as well. They have a sizable parking lot which is overflowing with impatient vacationers in certain times of the day. All workers are efficient.

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. It was good but nothing to write home about. The star of the show though was the egg salad. Best egg salad my Wife and I have ever had. If you stop in at Something Natural you have to get the egg salad. They also have an assortment of local drinks and juices to get with your food. We got a strawberry lemonade which paired well with the sandwiches and the weather. They have plenty of outdoor seating. The walk to this place was beautiful. Strongly suggest going to Something Natural on a nice sunny day.

    This little shop is another must on a visit to Nantucket and it didn't disappoint. We walked here…read moreafter a trip to the beach yesterday and ate our sandwiches at the pool and they made the perfect lunch. I had the curry chicken salad and my husband had the veggie. We both ordered half sandwiches and they were plenty large enough to keep us full until dinner. Also delicious! They do have options for kids although our son got a hotdog at the sandbar so he wasn't hungry. There is a ton of room for kids to run around and play and the staff were all really friendly. They were even giving out free cookies. Definitely recommend!

    Conveniently located…read more They had everything we needed. We bought drinks and snacks here so we don't have to overpay at retail stores. Fresh flowers, produce, ingredients for us to take back to our rental and cook, prepped foods, chips, etc. Deli has 4 different kinds of cooked chicken. 3 soups, clam chowder is really good. Sushi is ok but very pricey.
