The chowder was perfectly madeâright amount of salt, perfectly cut potatoes, perfectly diced clams. My husband had the lobster roll and I had shrimp cocktail. Not the best shrimp cocktail Iâve ever had, but not bad. The lobster roll was delicious. They have a really good bar with great drink selectionsâwines, beers, vodkas, and tequilas. Checked out the loft upstairs and it was hopping. We left to get Backdoor Donuts, but would return to play darts, pool, etc. Great place.

The pizza was excellent. I was surprised at how good it was. I ordered a pie to share with my kids and girlfriend. Everyone really liked it. The service wasn't great. They made us feel like they were doing us a favor by serving us. With that said, they were very busy, so I get it, but some smiles go a long way.

We walked by several mostly empty restaurants before finding this one. The place was hopping, the staff knew the regulars by name, and the waiter was very familiar with the food. My partner had a lobster roll that was recommended and it was a great choice. I had the special, skirt steak in a rice and bean bowl that was very tasty. Now I wish I had the recipe so I could make it at home.

This place is always packed- even at 5pm- so get there early. Nice views of the fishing pier and harbor. Friendly staff, no frills interior and delicious food. I went two nights in a row having their cod tacos the first night and the mahi mahi tacos the second. Both were excellent. Cocktails were delicious and the wine menu was quite good for a small place. Loud, noisy and fun, this is a cool place to come and one I frequent every time I'm in Oak Bluff. Great lobster rolls although I didn't have one this trip.Thank you for your review.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
