A visit to Martha's Vineyard is not complete without stopping at the popular Black Dog Tavern, if only so you can say you have been. This simply decorated restaurant has pine floors and old beams, and its wooden tables are packed pretty tightly together. This place is not for the claustrophobic, nor for the diner needing a quick meal, especially in-season when the wait for a table is an hour at the minimum. The main menu items are fresh fish and vegetables, each from local sources. You can bring your own wine or beer.

“Not what I remembered”
We've eaten here in the past, and while our food was good, it was not as wonderful as I remembered. I guess I can't expect menus to always stay...
“I agree with "Food not what it used to be"”
The last time I went a few months ago for breakfast, it was not as charming as it used to be. Instead of "rustic charm" it was more like a grea...
Iconic place
Well, it is a Vineyard icon. Rustic setting with average service and a little overpriced but decent food. Lunch best value. BYOB (dry town)

Your Martha's Vineyard vacation isn't complete without a stop at The Black Dog Tavern and gift store.
Arrogant service, mediocre food, poor value, not worth the visit

I am semi-obsessed with this store-only because it revolves around a dog. this is a very famous store for the vinyard, and is always busy. it i...
You've got the T-shirt, now try the comfort food.
The Vineyard's best-known restaurant owes its fame to savvy marketing--Black Dog T-shirts are ubiquitous and several gift shops acr
