Customer Reviews
We came here after reading a positive review from our airbnb, sadly it was disappointing. The fish and chips though "looked good" were not seasoned well. Also, when I bit down into my clam cake I felt the horrible grit and pain of SAND! It was clear the clams were not properly cleaned before meaking the cakes. Not to mention, the clams were too hard to chew and I was forced to spit them out! I'm sad because this was our first official meal on the island and it was a complete miss. I was also disappointed with their response to me sharing that there was sand in the clam cakes. "We are sorry about that," is not sufficient considering the amount of food we purchased. There was no offer of a refund on that item or even a discount. The least they could have done was given us some free ice cre
They say one bite and you'll be hooked. and they're correct in saying that. All the food is freshly prepared to order and the freshness of the seafood can be tasted in everything we ordered. My wife had the Fried sole plate. I had the seared tuna sandwich with wasabi mayo which had an amazing cut of tuna. My daughter had the kids fish and chips which was made of cod and included a small toy shark finger puppet.
One of the islands best kept secrets, super friendly and really good food!
Great selection of fish, and their crab cakes are delicious! We got the grilled tuna sandwich and it was had a generous amount of fish. This was the best fish sandwich I've had in a long time, especially for only 11.50!
The only thing I don't love about John's is that they close in the winter, but really who can blame them. The choices, especially the local catch, are numerous and super fresh. The staff, who work extremely hard, are solid good people. It's the best fish sandwich I've had on the island, and the soft serve is reasonably priced and delicious.
