Kitty Murtagh’s

tuesday night 5.00 burger night
pros: look above, also bangers & mash get it! do it!, do it! bangers & mash do it!, do it!
cons: they close!

We just left. I am appalled by the way we just got treated. I want to preface that I worked in the restaurant field for 13 years and worked and opened several of them. I do have a soft spot for the industry and I am very patient. We just went to kitty’s about 8:55 and waited 15 minutes at the door. It was busy so we waited. Needless to say I finally asked if we could be seated and they stated the kitchen closes at 9. Every employee saw us standing there. Ok you don’t want to seat is at 8:55 don’t let us stand there, knowing that your kitchen is closed. Apparently most of the restaurants on the island during this time of year closes at 9:30. Which I’m sure they knew that too. If they had let us know the kitchen was closed at 8:55 we would have been able to get served somewhere else. So my advise to you folks at Kitty be kind. If you see someone standing there at the hostess podium they probably want food. Let them know your kitchen is closed. Correct your hours on your online and social media platform. We will never frequent your restaurant. Folks if you are reading the reviews. Eat somewhere else and tip someone who cares!

Great bartenders. Perfect for comfort food, to watch a game & come early or late if you’re thinking burger night

Irish pub serving Irish favorites. Open year round. I had the Shepards Pie. Good flavor, but not enough meat (too much mashed potatoes and a gravy with little meat). My friend had beef stew, which was your typical beef stew. Good winter, comfort food.

My husband and I ate here last night, the place I wanted to go to was closed and I’m usually not a huge fan of Irish food. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, and would go back on out next trip. I had the Shepherd’s pie and my husband had the beef stew. Both were very tasty, and hearty. Portions were big, we ended up with leftovers. The bill was very reasonable which was a great surprise for Nantucket.

Kitty’s won my heart today and all they had to do was serve me a good sandwich.
The first visit here I got a burger. Good, but not the best I’ve had. On a whim, I decided to stop in again and try something new. Every place deserves a second visit before I pass judgement, and considering the lack of cheap options on the island, i have to.
Ordered a French dip with Swiss on sourdough with a house salad and house made Au jus. And the skies opened up, the angels sang, and I uttered a hallelujah when I took my first bite. Good. So good I considered getting another to have for dinner. The bread was toasted perfectly, the beef tender, the Swiss a great addition… We don’t have enough time to talk about why I loved this sandwich. The ultimate is the fact that my wallet didn’t weep when the bill came. $ 11.77 after tax and a decent portion for the price.
If you’ve gathered anything from looking at my page, you know I eat out a lot. So if the food doesn’t hook me, I won’t return. Kitty’s did a great job hooking me. For life.
I guess some people come to Kitty’s for the down home, neighborhood bar feel. Really, I don’t go to any place for that «Cheers» feeling, but if you’re looking for that, it can be found here.
I’ll be back! I’ll even do the unthinkable and try something different.

You want to know why I go to Kitty Murtagh’s? They have a damn good soup and salad bar. At the risk of sounding like my 80 year old parents, it’s reasonably priced as well. This two level establishment is what every Irish pub should encompass: dark wood, a pool table and solid pub fare. Speaking honestly now, I wasn’t a fan of the curry chicken, at all. But they do a pretty standard burger between English muffins if my memory serves me, and I can actually go and enjoy a few delicious go’s at the salad bar and be one happy camper.
What makes this salad bar so special you ask? It’s fresh and filled with all things you’d want on a salad ranging from the typical cucumbers and tomatoes to a few more sexy items like artichoke hearts and pepperoncini. Oh and bonus? The delicious croutons and the real bacon bits… hey yoooo.
For those with kids: very child friendly and the lower level is without a bar, so you can definitely guarantee a less rowdy time.
Located on the outskirts of town, this casual pub is a jeans and hoodie type place; a nice change of pace from some other options.

My husband and I tried Kitty’s the first night we stayed on the island last month — and we are so glad we did. Loved the ambiance and warm greeting we received upon arrival. We were sat right away and had the most friendly and knowledgeable server.
For dinner we started with the Irish Nachos — home made Irish style chips cooked perfectly — crunchy on the outside and soft in the center — loaded and topped with
Chopped Bacon, Jalapeño, Dublin Cheddar Cheese, Tomato, and Green Onion. I was in heaven! For dinner I had the Roast Prime Rib with mashed Potato and Grilled Asparagus. The meal was full of flavor and rib was cooked just the way I wanted. My husband had the Braised Beef Short Ribs with caramelized Onions, Blue Cheese, Grilled Asparagus, and Mashed Potato. He said it was some of the best short rib he has ever had.
We walked here from the center of town, and while it is not close it was a beautiful walk to and from down the winding streets of the island. I cannot wait to come back here next summer!

Visiting family on island and wanted to give this place a shot as my parents (who live on the island really like the place)…
During the off season they have $ 5 burger Tuesdays and you can’t beat that for the island… Now to the food…
We had a party of 6 and when we got there the place was empty, and we were still told we would have to be done and out of the place by 6:30 (my 1 star knock), not what you tell customers… Sorry. Hostess wasn’t the friendliest.
When we were seated the waitress was fantastic… She saw we had a baby and was very prompt with us…
We had 2 members get the soup and salad bar… 1 get the chicken sandwich, 1 get the veggie burger and 1 get the burger…
The soup and salad bar was very nice, though they could offer more than 1 soup, though still very good. Options on the salad bar were all fresh and very tasty… You cold tell they chop the green peppers, which was nice…
The burger, which I got, was extremely tasty and actually came as ordered, which now a days doesn’t happen often as I order it medium and most kitchens are scared of pink… Very good burger…
The veggie burger looked decent, definitely home made… as it wasn’t the typical veggie burger…
Worth going too!!!

Consistently solid Irish pub food at a very fair price. Not competing with the higher end restaurants on the island but that’s not what it’s there for. Good place for islanders to get a good meal in the offseason. Shepherd’s pie is always delicious.

Went to dinner with a friend seating was prompt, but service almost non-​existent, ordered drinks never got the second round had to go to bar ask for condiments never saw the waitress again. Children crawling under our table and kids running around yelling and playing on top of pool tables. Just wanted out of there had to ask the hostess for our check which had the additional drinks charged, but we never received. Terrible dining experience

Decent Irish pub on the island. We ordered the wings for the app which were ok.
Main courses: The steak and mushrooms ($ 12) were decent, and the bangers and mashed were interesting. It used to be served with the bangers cut up and mixed within the potatoes, but they were strategically placed kind of… um…fancy? Please don’t give me «fancy» in a pub! Also, the mashed potatoes were kind of dry…
Also, they only have 5(?) beers on tap? I’m not sure why they don’t double the drafts during the summer, and then go back down to 5 for the winter. Not my decision, I know, but a bigger selection would be nice.

This is a great find thanks to Unilocalers.
It was a ways out of town, $ 20.00 cab for us. But, worth it.
Had wings to start and I’m not a wings guy… They were great, meaty and well cooked.
My wife had the beef stew and loved it. Thick, meaty and plenty of food.
I had the schnitzel and was it perfect??? Yes!!! I loved it with the mashed taters. Great sauce,
Our 10 year old had the ribs from the app menu. Great and fell off the bone.
Good solid service. Pretty good wine list and very good Jameson!
I would go back tomorrow.

It is nice to have this as an option to dine at while on Nantucket, that being a relatively affordable irish pub. The atmosphere is fairly upbeat with a staff that seem to know their regulars and greet them with a smile. In fact, one of them even dashed away from reading the specials to someone who was about to order, so they could say hi to a familiar face. That was clearly unprofessional and if I was the person about to order, I would been very annoyed.
Moving along, the food is good & presented well on the plate. And you and your crew will have a few different TVs to help keep you in tune to the sports going on.

Kitty’s is a wonderful addition to the restaurants on the island — it is a year round establishment with fantastic deals — especially in the off season. Enjoyed their prime rib special this May and also tried their shrimp and linguine special which was fantastic. The place is hopping — so if you have a taste for a good cut of beef — get there on the early side. Definitely reco!

Very good Irish pub food. If it looks good to you on the menu, there’s a good chance you’ll like it. I haven’t been disappointed yet, and I’ve tried a lot off their menu. Nice place to have a couple beers, wings, and can’t forget the Irish nachos!

I usually eat at Kitty’s about every 10 days. The food is good, the price is reasonable, and because it is located out of town parking is usually not a problem. You’ve GOT to try the pork schnitzel. I don’t even like pork, but this version is great!

I went for a small bite to eat and drinks galore. I got the petite rib-​eye, which was the cheapest steak they had. It was huge and fatty and not very well cooked. Granted I wolfed the whole thing down, but I was hammered and perhaps the slightest bit baked.
The sides it came with were good, but I wanted more of the sides and less of the steak. A side of asparagus was a paltry 3 pieces of asparagus.
The bartender was friendly though and still hit on my friend even after I told her he had herpes.
That shit stays with you forever.
