Where to eat American food in Martha's Vineyard: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Find out what American restaurants to try in Martha's Vineyard. Yes, getting there is a bit of a project. But vacationers have been braving the ferry for years, and this tiny island off Cape Cod remains one of the most popular and picturesque destinations in New England. Among the island's towns, you're sure to find the Vineyard that's right for you. With stately Greek revival houses dating back to the whaling era of the early 19th century, Edgartown is a seaside village of boutique shopping and pristine harbor views. For more of a "beach town" feel, Oak Bluffs has the Flying Horses carousel, an arcade and an easy walk to the beach, plus the history and charm of the "gingerbread" houses in the Methodist campgrounds. Vineyard Haven offers visitors a blend of both. For a real retreat, Chilmark/Aquinnah is the place to get away from it all. In the off-season, the island is quieter and far less crowded, but the shore is always beautiful. Whenever you visit, leave your car behind! Cabs are plentiful and greet the incoming ferries to help you reach your destination. Most visitors prefer to explore the island on a bicycle, scooter or tourist-friendly public buses.

The coffee and egg sandwiches are excellent here, and the prices reasonable. The place is small and cozy, and the service is very friendly. The only negative is that they donât have a restroom on site - that was tough since we just came from the ferry, but our waitress directed us to a public facility down the block. So if you decide to come here for a late breakfast after arriving on the ferry, take care of business beforehand. Recommended!

We arrived at 7:30 for a nice breakfast and got right in. As we were leaving around 8:30 a line was forming. Food was very good and service was excellent. Get there early to avoid a wait

So glad we could fit this delight into our first visit to MV! A delightful collection of indoor & outdoor seating on a gorgeous morning - literally among the flowers of their planters. Delicious mushroom & boursin omelette... mimosas also available

Visited on a sunny Sunday morning at 10 am for brunch. Saw a line and was expecting a crowded miserable experience but was instead met with a clever text based notifications system (meaning we could wander while we waited) and a 5 minute grace period after being notified (reducing our stress getting back). The diner is cozy with tightly packed tables but the service was friendly and efficient given the volume of business. My kids and wife had the fluffy and warm pancakes which were stuffed with blueberries and chocolate chips. I had an omelet which must have been made with the largest eggs I have seen. It was also generously filled with the desired toppings. Overall, for a downtown brunch spot in a tourist town it wasn't obscenely expensive and was easy to enjoy with good service and great food.

On this trip we didn't have takeout, but bought a generous, locally fished piece of Sea Bass to have at our cottage. It did not disappoint. Historically, the takeout selection of cooked or prepared foods (e.g. chowders and lobsters) have been a pleasure to consume. None of the fish markets on the Vineyard are cheap, but the quality and freshness of the locally sourced seafoods are worth it.

We enjoyed most of our dinner at Red Cat, a lively and casual but pricey restaurant steps from the main streets and festivities in OB. Food was fairly good although salmon had an over-salted crust and scallops were just okay. The service was good albeit a bit pushy, as several wait staff came by two or three times during our meal and hovered over us, asking if we âwere still working on itâ. Once I had to put my hand over my meal to stop the plate from being carried off! Is there a particular reason why diners need to âhurry up and eat?â While we recognise that as a more American style of eating, we feel that, especially in an expensive restaurant such as this, one should be able to relax and eat at leisure, without pressure from the staff.

We drove 30 minutes for supposedly the best lobster roll on MV. What a joke ! Really a fish house that sells some chowder and lobster rolls. The chowder was cold and in a tiny Dixie cup. Three to four spoonfuls at best. The lobster roll was so skimpy and flavorless that I was tempted to ask for my money back . No place to sit , broken tables - just a nightmare!

Great bar, cocktails, and small plates. Was really impressed. Best wings I've had on island since Smoke n Bones closed. Bluefish pate great. Whiskey's and cocktails top notch. Great bartender. This is a place for adults and maybe large groups to sit a big high top or at bar. It is a small joint, so best to go in shoulder season. Loved it and wished we hadn't saved it for the end of the season.

We loved our dinner here. Cocktails at the small bar were excellent, and then we ate in the very pretty patio. The food was excellent, especially the peach salad appetizer., and the lime semifedo capped off the night . Excellent, well priced wine list. A really great choice for a peaceful and intimate dinner. What great selections, we're so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!

Trip Advisor rated this place number one on Marthaâs Vineyard where there are dozens of superb restaurants. I thought âBowlâ in the name had something to do with food. Nope. This place is a bowling alley! It has five bowling alleys, a bar and a few tables for diners, but itâs NOT a first class restaurant. Clearly, itâs a place frequented by the Oak Bluffs locals, not a place that attracts Vineyard visitors. We tried it anyway. The service was outstanding. The food was average at best. Donât be fooled by this rating.Sorry to hear you had such false expectations of our business. I have to say, I find it really unfair for you to leave such a poor and highly inaccurate review about our establishment because you made a false assumption based on a word in our business name. We don't disguise anywhere that we have modern bowling lanes as part of our overall entertainment experience. If you read almost any of our online reviews, or visited our website, or even just googled us, you would quickly realize we have bowling lanes (10 of them, not 5). But the reason we are rated so highly on TripAdvisor, Yelp, and elsewhere is because our very separate Bistro and Bar (with over 100 seats) has become one of the most popular year-round restaurants on Martha's Vineyard. And it's not because we are (or perhaps are not) a first class restaurant. It's because we have a diverse menu that offers something for everyone, that is affordably priced - without compromise on quality of product. But hey, I guess you can't please everyone.
