Fodor's Review:

A classic seafood-in-the-rough experience since the 1930s, this breezy seasonal island institution serves absolutely the freshest lobster around (including a hefty 3-pound lobster that'll set you back $60), plus steamers, scallops, smoked bluefish pâté and local fish. The fishing nets and other nautical paraphernalia hanging on the knotty-pine walls bring you back to a bygone era. Sailors from all around southern New England savor the chance to pull into Menemsha for a meal at this stalwart, where commoners often rub shoulders with celebs. You can also get your meal to go and enjoy it on the lawn or by the dock overlooking the harbor.
