Nantucket LUNCH SPOTS

Happy Thursday, friends!

I have a Nantucket-y post for you today 🙂 .

First, I shared NANTUCKET BEACHES and then I shared NANTUCKET RESTAURANTS and then I shared HOW TO GET TO NANTUCKET, and today, I’m breaking down NANTUCKET LUNCH SPOTS!

I promise you that a “what to do if you’re on Nantucket for one day” post is coming, but in the meantime, I thought I’d share a breakdown of places for lunch.  Hopefully, this will help those of you coming this summer whether just for the afternoon or a few days.

A few things to note:
1: For these lunch spots, I made sure each one was causal enough that you don’t need to be dressed up like you might for dinner.  You can walk off the ferry and into any of these restaurants in your “day clothes” (no swimwear though).

2: In my guide to NANTUCKET RESTAURANTS post, reservations are highly encouraged if not required for almost every establishment.  For these lunch spots, you *can* make reservations at some of them, but they are not required.  I made sure that every location I listed below is “walk up friendly”.

3: Don’t forget to check online because each of these restaurants have websites/social media that can give you a lot of other information.  This is just a friendly little guide to get you started.

4: I decided to overlap some of these restaurants to make it easier for you to find what you’re looking for below.  You will see some restaurants in multiple categories.

5: This is not a recap of my NANTUCKET RESTAURANTS post.  I am specifically not listing every restaurant that serves lunch. I’m listing the ones that, in my opinion, make the most sense if you’re here for a short time and want to include a delicious lunch.

6: If you show up to a restaurant, let’s say Cru for example, and they don’t have any spots available, the bar is a wonderful place to head because if you can grab a seat, you can order off the full menu (obviously 21+ only).  So many of these places have room at the bar for you to enjoy your meal.  If you can’t get a table, head there.

7: Please keep in mind that these lunch places are not open year around.  Read that again.  If you’re not coming to visit mid-June through September, these restaurants could be closed (almost every one of these restaurants will be closed mid-October through May-ish).  Only a few stay open “year around”, but even that doesn’t always mean every single day during the off season.  Please just keep this in mind.

As a reminder…

…thank you Fisher Real Estate on Nantucket for the perfect map!
