The Barn Bowl & Bistro

$$ | Oak Bluffs

This family-friendly roadhouse wins fans with its worth-the-greasy-fingers fried chicken, kale salad, fish-and-chips, and pizza, but it's the combination of all-American comfort food, affordable-for-the-Vineyard-prices, and friendly vibe that keep 'em coming back. A great addition to the Oak Bluffs restaurant scene with bowling to boot, this place is also open year-round.

Black Dog Tavern

$$$ | Vineyard Haven

This island landmark—part of a mini-complex that includes a general store and a kid's shop—lies just steps from the ferry terminal in Vineyard Haven. The dining room—roaring fireplace, dark-wood walls, maritime memorabilia, and a grand view of the water—makes everyone feel at home; there's additional seating on the patio when the weather allows. Sure, it's touristy---but it's fun.

Known For
  • Quahog chowders, lobster roll, pancakes
