Waterside Market

Definitely a great lunch spot. You can tell the food is made by scratch with fresh, local ingredients. Decided to come here based on other Unilocal reviews. We were not disappointed. My husband had a lobster salad over greens and I had the fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil on ciabatta. It was amazing.

We apparently came during a rush because the staff was very disorganized and frantic. One of our party received the Tex Mex breakfast after ordering the Traditional. We received our meals before our coffee. Thankfully the food was excellent, but 20 minutes for two cups of coffee is the reason for this 3 star review.

I have yet to find a place near home yet that makes as good of sandwiches as these guys. Everything is fresh and fast, regardless of how crowded they may be. I spent part of my paycheck every week on their sandwiches, they are just that good!

For sandwiches on Martha’s Vineyard, this place can’t be beat. We’ve tried the Red, White and Green, the Italian, and today’s pick was the French Quarter.
There is indoor and outdoor seating and chill music pumping through the overhead speakers. Located right in downtown Vineyard Haven.

I’m a fan of Waterside. I love the huge porch, I love the tasty sandwiches (especially the red, white and green — sweet tomatoes, mozzarella, balsamic, and focaccia), the big cookies, and the fact that you can get breakfast all day. True, there are some glitches here– namely very, very slow service (the queue can get very long at Waterside especially between noon and 1pm when the lunch crowds arrive)– the sandwiches more than make up for the wait. Since it’s nearly impossible to get into Artcliff between May and August, add Waterside to your rotation for a reasonably priced, satisfying lunch.

A smile never killed nobody ;) the food was «correct», the service is horrible… I will never come back…

They serve breakfast all day! This alone is my key ingredient to a great restaurant.
They have a new location, about 3 doors down from their old location. Much nicer with a wonderful porch for outside dining right on Main Street. I had the Superfood frittata with a side of sausage. Very good and provided just the energy I needed after a long day and drive home.
Highly recommend!

Great community destination and go-​to place for breakfast and lunch fare in downtown VH. One of the few places on Main Street in this day and age that offers a comprehensive food menu! Extremely fresh breads for their sandwiches, and good attention to detail on other items such as pancakes and eggs. Breakfast being served all day is also a plus.
They are settling in to their new location in the former home of Le Grenier, and the outdoor seating is clearly a plus and a magnet in the warmer months. However, the crowd control in the interior (especially at peak hours) could use some further thought, as it lacks the clear definitions of ordering and seating that one could enjoy in their former location. Similarly, it is difficult to find an exit from the ordering area when many tables are filled.

This place is awesome! It moved up two buildings into the old Le grenier building. It is open with cute places to sit and eat your delicious sandwiches or breakfasts. They have great food ranging from typical eggs and super good bacon eta to soups salads and sandwiches that will make you drool! There’s also a wrap around porch with tables and seating that is such a cozy outdoor seating situation.
Absolutely love this place.

Best rubin sandwich on the island.
Nice people!

My parents live on the Vineyard year round and when I come to visit, about every other weekend, we stop here for lunch at some point. I have Celiac disease and their gluten free bread is bigger than most bread that I’ve had (and I haven’t gotten sick eating here!). Every time I go here, I get the Red, White, & Green and it never disappoints! As for my parents and boyfriend, they’ve noticed that during the off-​season their sandwiches aren’t toasted (even though they say they are) and the meat has not always been fully cooked. The staff is very attentive and nice, just make sure you watch your bread go into the toaster, or you’ll have a sub-​par sandwich!

I was recommended to check this place out from the guy who I got my rental car from so I followed his suggestion.
I walked there because my hotel was nearby and main street is such a nice place to walk that it was awesome.
The place is big and they have plenty of tables to eat there or you can order takeout.
I ordered takeout on my first visit and I got the Italian sandwich and a banana nut muffin. The guy who took my order was very nice and helped me with a few questions I had.
The Italian sandwich comes with the typical Italian sub ingredients on ciabatta but they add raw red onions, red peppers, spinach and cheese. What a great combination this was… the first bite and all the ones after were just amazing! The entire combination of ingredients just works so well that I recommended this place to the crew that I was working with. The banana nut muffin was also amazing, very moist and just delicious.
The following morning I came back from breakfast and I got their 2−2−2 special, which includes two eggs, 2 slices of bacon and 2 pancakes… great deal too… and I felt in love with this place all over again. My scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked and very tasty, the bacon was super crispy and not greasy just the way I like it and the pancakes were fluffy and made to perfection. I ate everything and loved every bite so came back the following day and had it again lol
This place knows how to make breakfast and lunch and everyone was very nice every time I came in to eat so it is a must stop while in the Vineyard.

By far one of the best places to grab a quick bite to eat. I would have taken a picture but it was so good it didn’t last. I had the CAB sandwich (chicken avocado bacon) on a chabatta roll chicken was moist roll wasn’t too hard and the portion size was excellent.
My husband had the Tomato basil soup and it was delicious.
We will definitely return on our next trip.

We heard it was good, and they did not disappoint. The lines are long however, and be sure you are not in a hurry if you go. The sandwich selection is large, with nice unique and quality ingredient choices.
The staff worked very hard to keep up with the demand on a busy weekend day. Kudos to them. We would return for sure.

Waited over an hour for cold sandwiches. The manager told us this was normal.
I can’t believe that people would wait over an hour for takeout. This place sucks.
Go to the black dog instead the sandwiches are just as good if not better.

Wow.
Let me start off by saying, I do not have high hopes for Martha’s Vineyard, and after living in NYC and L. A, I have always held this tiny cultureless void to the lowest possible standard. I mean it’s in the middle of the ocean, no one has to exactly compete for business amiright?
When waterside first opened, it felt like a clean, solid, family operation, with pretty good quality food and drink. I went back today to get a coffee and I can honestly say I haven’t ever had a worse experience even at the lowliest gas station Starbucks stand.
I walked in and the area behind the counter was Disgusting. Food on the floor like it hadn’t been swept up all day. Old food sitting at most likely the wrong temperatures up the wazoo (I’m serve safe certified, thank you.) so I stand at the counter, grossed out, but it’s the only place I could find parking. 3 out of four of the teeny bopper tatted up pierced pony tailed staff are EATING. AT THE COUNTERS WHERE FOOD IS BEING PREPARED AND AT THE REGISTER. WITH THEIR HANDS. And after five minutes of my standing their watching this horrifying scene, one of them finally begrudgingly looks up, wipes the food grease on her pants, sighs at the fact that I have interrupted her fine dining experience, and agrees to take my order. I order a soy iced mocha. She repeats my order back incorrectly twice. I lose all faith in not only my impending coffee drink but in humanity.
But wait. This is where I lost it.
I walk over and watch her go to make my drink. The espresso machine is dirty and there is an old shot of espresso sitting on it. I have a vision. A terrible prophetic vision.
And then my vision comes true.
She pours the old shot into my drink.
I call out to her, with all the mercy I can muster, holy shit, please, pull a fresh shot for the $ 5 coffee I just ordered. This is when all the teeny boppers and most likely completely down and out shift leader stop and look at me like I’m crazy. I mumble something about espresso being exposed to air and metallic flavors, you know, things ANYONE WHO HAS EVER CONSUMED LET ALONE MADE ESPRESSO DRINKS KNOWS. THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. she angrily agrees, makes the drink, and more or less throws it over the counter at me and storms off.
I have no idea who is running this operation now, but it was truly insane. None of this would fly anywhere else in the country. That being said, if you are on Martha’s Vineyard, Literally anywhere else on the island is better. Mocha motts. little house. Behind the bookstore, new in Edgartown, is actually legitimately good. Do not go here, even as a last resort.

I waited 25 minutes for a $ 12 sandwich. Unacceptable. It wasn’t even a weekend day.
The sandwich itself was okay but not good enough to make up for the torturous service. If you like sandwiches are are basically a huge pile of meat, you might like this but I prefer the ingredients to have some balance and proportion.

Sandwiches and salads are delicious. The dressing on the strawberry fields salad was spectacular – fresh with lots of basil.
Great sandwich selection – from roast beef and Brie to a thanksgiving style sandwich to a curried hummus veggie wrap. Had a bite of pancakes which were also good. Overall, everything is fresh and tasty – a little pricey but it seems like it’s average for the island

Order the lobster roll — best $ 20 I’ve spent in a long time!!! We stumbled upon this place while wandering around Vineyard Haven and are so happy we did. In addition to the dynamite lobster rolls (best in New England!), they serve Stumptown Coffee. Pretty hard to go wrong there, and the staff is super nice.

I visited Martha’s vineyard on memorial day for the 1^st time. We brought along our scooter and drove around town looking for a place for breakfast. Most of the places open for breakfast had a really long wait or were no longer taking reservations for breakfast so we ended up here just before it got busy. We were served right away and loved all of the options. This place has a lot of seating. you order and pay at the counter then go find a table so there are no waitresses.
my boyfriend got the John Aldon which had stuffing in it. Stuffing in a sandwich! genius.
I got the traditional eggs and bacon with homefries. very satisfying and not a bad price.
