The Black Dog Tavern

We had a great meal here. Food was excellent, better than expected and the service was good too. Bit pricey but that was expected.

Ordered take out from the resturant right before getting off the Vineyard Haven ferry. The food was ready incredibly quickly, only issue is lavk of parking for pick up. We ordered the steak tips which came with mashed potatoes and broccoli, a cup of the clam chowder, and calamari. All of which was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious! Next time were on the island we will be eating here again.

A really fun restaurant and black dog store. Our family enjoyed our meal and got some really cool high quality sweatshirts that have lasted. It’s an iconic MV experience.

Soup looked delicious and the calamari was great. Loved the fried peppers mixed through it. The fish & chips were okay. Our server was amazing and you can’t beat eating basically on the water.

This by the water small tavern is an excellent place to sit down and have excellent tasting food and drinks to go with that in a very cozy environment. It has a small menu but everything seems to made fresh, in house, and as per your order. We had very tasty cod fish and red snapper prepared as per the menu entry. Appetizer we had was the calamari. Size is sharable by two and the marinara sauce comes warm, enhancing the taste of the very lightly fried squid rings that are juicy soft, definitely not fried to dry crunchiness. Prices are reasonable for fresh seafood. If you are on the island even for a day, I highly recommend the Black Dog for good food and friendly experience.

My daughter and I really enjoyed dining here after lots of walking on the Vineyard. We loved the New England, tavern-style ambience and the delightful view of the ships on the harbor. We decided to get the mac and cheese and found it to be incredibly delicious—comfort food after a long day of sight-seeing, what a treat! I would say there is limited seating (more tables for 2 or 4) and I would imagine it’s very busy in the summer months, but we were off-season so we got a table immediately. Thanks again for a great experience!

Family lunch on the vineyard, 10/10 recommend! We sat outside which was nice, the server we had was really nice but busy so she didn’t have time to meet and greet. We waited about 10 minutes once seated until she was able to come over to take our drink order, she also took our food order and we saw her again after everyone was done eating to give us our tab. The other servers were nice and refilled waters as they saw low glasses which was really nice of them. The tuna melt was great, I ordered it without tomatoes and bacon but with lettuce and onions so I enjoyed it. We also ordered the chowder which was pretty good, and the croutons surprisingly went well opposed to oysters. The watermelon lemonade alcoholic beverage was also really good.

Huge portions, great views, very cool vibe inside. It’s an iconic brand. The food was amazing as well. We had breakfast. Possibly the best pancakes I’ve ever had. If not, top two. Huge portions for the price. Great flavors too! Service was excellent. Go early!!!! We were there on off season and was packed after 8am. Not a lot of parking either. Must be a mad house in the busy season.
