  • Landfall Restaurant

    Landfall sits right on Woods Hole Harbor on Luscombe Avenue, steps from the Steamship Authority ferry docks, serving fresh local seafood like lobster, swordfish, clams, scallops and seasonal fish. The dining room is built from wood taken from shipwrecks and boards from old buildings, with buoys, lobster pots and harpoons hung from the beams, and a seaside bar pours fresh-squeezed cocktails. Outside there's a brick patio under the big LANDFALL sign, Adirondack chairs against a buoy-covered fence, and a little clam shack window. The family-run restaurant has been here since 1946.

  • Quahog Republic Leeside Pub

    The Leeside Pub is the Woods Hole outpost of the Quahog Republic crew, set on Railroad Avenue directly across from the Steamship Authority ferry terminal. It's a natural stop before or after the boat: grab a burger and a Mai Tai and take in the ocean views and maritime feel. The shingled building with its navy awning and big lobster-claw sign is easy to spot from the ferry lot, and there's a dedicated event space with water views for groups. Seating is first-come, first-served.

  • Quicks Hole Taqueria

    Tucked right across from the Martha's Vineyard ferry dock in Woods Hole, Quicks Hole Taqueria is famous for originating the lobster taco on Cape Cod — a must-try if you're passing through. The menu blends fresh local seafood with bold Mexican-inspired flavors in a casual, come-as-you-are setting beloved by both regulars and day-trippers. It's a perfect pit stop before or after the Island boat.

  • Water Street Kitchen

    Water Street Kitchen is a dinner spot in a weathered shingle building right on the water at 56 Water Street in Woods Hole. Their menu changes with the seasons, made from scratch with global influences, and leans on locally and sustainably fished and farmed ingredients, with craft cocktails at the bar. Their own motto is "Food is Love," and the place aims to feel like the best home-cooked supper. Tables can be booked ahead.
