While we can’t go out to eat at Nantucket restaurants right now, it doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy the island's delicious cuisine from the comfort of your rental home. Many restaurants on Nantucket are offering take out and delivery services, so you can still support local businesses. With so many Nantucket take out options to choose from, we thought it'd be helpful to compile a list of a few of our favorites.
Must-Try Nantucket Take Out
Bartlett’s Farm
At Bartlett's Farm, you can order your fresh produce, groceries, and delicious prepared foods online and pick them up with curbside service. Bartlett's is Nantucket's oldest and largest family-owned farm offering some of the best produce and fresh food that you can find on the island. You can even order bakery cakes and catering.

Cisco Brewers
Cisco Brewers Nantucket is open for curbside pickup so you can enjoy local, handcrafted beer and more. Bring the fun of the brewery to your house by picking up some bottled beer, wine, and spirits. While it may not be quite the same as a drink with friends at the brewery, having that same cocktail or beer at home is the second-best thing.

This quintessential, family-owned diner has been a staple on the island for more than 80 years offering housemade donuts and breakfast.
