could improve

by MLLEA

Ordered the pecan crusted chicken salad. The chicken came out cold-microwaved tough with a "crust" of matted unrecognizable mash of pecans. The chicken must have been seeped in soy sauce leaving a weird residual flavor. The rest of the salad was limp and rather unappetizing. They really need to streamline their menu so that they can control the quality of the food as they are a good family run business.

• Pros: Friendly staff
• Cons: Microwaved precooked chicken

Has gone down!!

by BaileyB

We used to eat here at least once a week. When the servers became rude and it was impossible to get a drink refil, we started to order takeout. When they say "15 minutes" it should not take AN HOUR for 2 salads! This happened not once, but the last 4 times we ordered takeout. The funny thing is that when I called they said that they were "swamped" but when I went to pick it up there were only 3 tables filled. The quality of the meat has also suffered and includes chicken and fish. Hope they can improve things. I agree with the other recent reviewers--quality and service have declined. Expensive for what you get, especially coupled with poor service.

• Pros: location
• Cons: very poor service and rude staff

Save yourself the trouble

by beluga22

We went for lunch, and it was very disappointing. I had half a roast beef sandwich and a cup of lobster bisque. The sandwich was cold, hastily assembled, and flavorless. The soup was less tasty than a can of Campbell's. This plus a glass of tea was $10. I will not go back.

• Pros: free sample of cake was not bad
• Cons: none

Best seafood south of MA

by malavoie

Growing up on the North Shore of MA, great seafood was a staple. There has been nowhere in NC to compare until we stumbled upon Nantucket Grill. The fried seafood is amazing! Fried clams rival Woodmans in Ipswich! The restaurant is much like the great "clam shacks" of the Cape. Low key and comfortable is the feeling inside, with clams and fish piled high on the plate. The prices are incredible and couldn't be found in MA aware for so much great seafood. We are planning to return often.

• Pros: great fried seafood, especially the fish and clams
• Cons: service is not consistant

Enjoyed the experience

by jeanel

Had a wonderful time at Nantucket Grill on Saturday night. Menu had a variety of options and the service was exceptional. We asked to be served promptly since we had a time constraint and were provided the right amount of attention and not felt rushed. Food was delicious and displayed nicely on the plate. I'm sure we will be going back.

• Pros: Great Service
• Cons: Dinner rolls could be tastier

Boston in North Carolina

by martygil

Can't understand all the bad reviews I just read about this place. It can't be the same place we had dinner last night. My first eat-in experience here (have gotten Lobster Rolls to go in the past) and was delighted.

We stopped to get their Lobster Rolls but then I saw Fried Clams with bellies on the menu. I had that with the fish and chips and was in heaven. How can anyone eat the dessert? I was so stuffed, I couldn't move.

My date had the scallops and said it was good (but what does someone from New York know about seafood). The fish (and there was plenty of it) melted in your mouth and the clams reminded me of eating them raw from a stream in Hyannis. I will be back.

• Pros: Food, Moderately priced,
• Cons: wish was closer to Cary

Try it, you'll like it

by jkellyrn

When a restaurant is always busy, there's a good reason for that. I have never been to Nantucket at lunchtime when it hasn't been busy, but the lines move quickly and service is prompt. We recently went for dinner and it was great! There was a different menu than lunch, and we had surf-n-turf, fried seafood, good wine and strawberry shortcake. Great! Go! Try it, you'll like it!

• Pros: Great tasting and great quality food
• Cons: Always busy (but worth the wait!)

Amazing Food: I'm hooked!

by raplatt

I've lived in Chapel Hill / Carrboro for YEARS! I drive Harrington Bank on 54 so frequently that I often forget there is a resturant there, but lately I've had a taste for some homestyle cooking, and I stopped in for lunch. The food was amazing. My mom and I shared a couple meals. We had the best salad, Blackened Salmon Salad. I am Hooked! And the chicken salad was awesome, I don't know if it was the bread, or the chicken salad.

• Pros: Desserts, portions, location
• Cons: always busy
