Nancy's Restaurant & Snack Bar

You'll find Nancy's perched right on Oak Bluffs harbor — a beloved Martha's Vineyard institution operating since 1960. Walk up to the window and choose from a sprawling menu of classic New England seafood, a full sushi bar, and creative cocktails that keep regulars coming back all summer long. The menu carries a distinctive Middle Eastern influence that sets it apart from every other waterfront spot on the island. There are no reservations — it's walk-in only — which means the line can stretch, but the harborside setting makes the wait half the fun. Whether you're grabbing a lobster roll at the outdoor tables, sipping a frozen drink with a view of the boats, or sharing sushi at sunset, Nancy's delivers an experience that feels unmistakably like Martha's Vineyard at its most alive.
