Sandwiches to go a bit out of town: Something Natural is another Nantucket classic (try their Portuguese bread, which is a superhuman version of sourdough with a large outdoor picnic area. 

 

Needing a burger: Lola Burger, either causal dine in or takeout, has epic shakes and burgers.

 

Davis family favorite: Millie's.  Come for the causal vibes and stay for the kickass margarita's and tacos, lovingly named after various Nantucket locations.  Millie's does not take reservations but coming early and enjoying a few drinks or walking down to Madaket beach to watch the sunset while you wait is a concrete plan. For the DC crowd, yes the original is better!  Plus Millie's is ultimate family friendly restaurant with it’s ultra causal vibes.

 

Quaint italian vibes: Pi Pizzeria… an Italian restaurant with quaint vibes.

Pizza on the go: Oath pizza, right on the wharf next to the fast ferry, serves up delicious thin crust pizza. 

 

ICE CREAM: The Juice Bar is a fan favorite and a MUST VISIT.  Will the line be around the corner at 2pm on a Tuesday? Yes.  Is it 100% worth the wait (the line moves fast)? 10,000% Yes. Definitely get a waffle cone or waffle bowl, which are made onsite.  PS it is cash only.  

 

For the fanciest dinner: Topper's at the Wauwinet.  Make a reservation far in advance to enjoy the beautiful views and fantastic dining.
