Cheap Eats

Chip Coblyn

It’s easy to blow your food budget on the Vineyard, but here are some reasonably priced options that will leave you with cash for a big night out, windsurfing lessons, or your ferry ticket back home.

Vineyard Haven:

• Island Pizza – Grab a sub, salad or pizza by the pie or slice.
• Zephrus – Many of Zephrus’ lunch items are available all day, so you can grab a burger, salad, or sandwich whenever you want.
• Net Result – For an early bird special get to the Net Result before they close at 7pm. Enjoy sushi, fried seafood, steamers, mussels, or even lobster at their harbor-facing picnic tables.

Oak Bluffs:

• Seasons – There’s something for everyone on Seasons’ huge menu. You can order chicken fingers, sushi, and a mudslide at one sitting if the mood should strike.
• Slice of Life – This little sister of the award-winning Sweet Life Café has gourmet lighter-fare options available all day.
• Smoke-N-Bones 2 – Watch the action on Circuit Ave. from Smoke-N-Bones 2’s street-side tables. Good barbecue plus standard fast-food items.
• Balance – For a real evening out, get dressed up and order off the bar menu at Balance.

Edgartown:

• Lattanzi’s Pizzeria – There’s a lot more than pizza at Lattanzi’s Pizzeria. Enjoy pastas, seafood and grilled specials – most for under $20.
• The Newes – A Colonial vintage pub with a number of choice micro-brewed beers and ales on tap. Cozy spot for lunch or dinner.
• Main Street Diner – 50s kitsch plus diner and comfort food.
• Harbor View Hotel & Resort – If you dress up, and order off the bar menu, you’ll get the great view plus the ambience of the Harbor View at a modest price.
