The first street that you come to when getting off the ferry is Broad Street. On Broad Street there are a lot of great eateries. One of the first places you see on Broad Street coming from the ferry is Joe's Broad Street Grill. This quaint restaurant has seating but is also great for take out. It used to be just a place for burgers and fries, typical American food, but when Tacos, Tacos from up the street needed a new location they merged with Joe's Broad Street Grill. Tacos, Tacos has some of the best food on the entire island. They have a wide selection of mexican food including some of the best burritos and soft tacos I've ever eaten. Joe's Broad Street Grill overall is a place with great atmosphere, and quality food, it is definitely a place you have to go if you are on Nantucket.

A really special place to eat in Nantucket is Millies, formerly the Westender. Located out near the end of Madaket road, Millies offers a wide variety of food and its location is second to none. Its dining room is surrounded with large windows that let a perfect amount of light in and are great to watch the sunset from. The restaurant also has a take out window downstairs if you don't have time to sit down. Some of their signature dishes are their fish tacos, of which they have five different kinds. And their quesadillas which range from the "Steps Beach" which contains lobster, to the "Bartlett Farm" which contains Sauteed mushrooms, grilled zucchini, tomato, sautéed spinach, of which all the ingredients were grown on the island at locally owned Barlett's Farm. Millies is a great place not just for the food but also for the location which makes it a desirable place, but it is also not in town so it does not get as crowded as some other restaurants on the island.

Something Natural from Nantucket makes some of the best sandwiches that I've ever had. They bake their own bread, which is sold in the two supermarkets on the island as well as in their store. They are located fairly close to town on Cliff Road. Their store is not very big but it is always crowded. While they do bake many different types of bread, my favorite is by far the Portuguese Bread. It is always fresh and when I'm on the island it is really the only bread I eat. Something Natural knows how to make a sandwich and you have to at least buy some of their Portuguese bread and eat it as toast, it is that good. It small, on a nice piece of land, but it is rather pricey so if your not looking to spend a lot of money of just a sandwich then you may want to go elsewhere.

One place that you can tell is great just by being in town at night in Nantucket, is the Juice Bar. The Juice Bar has a line going out its door and around the corner of the block its on basically every single night. But waiting in that is worth it. They have amazing ice cream, shakes, cookies, and waffle cones. A trip to Nantucket is not complete without at least one trip to the Juice Bar, you can smell the store as you walk by and its aroma just draws you in. Sitting right in the center of Broad Street it is by far the most crowded place on the island. The crowds of people are all waiting for not just ice cream, but an eating experience as they enter the Juice Bar.
