Nantucket Grill

I've been here many times, no longer live in the area. My wife and I had our first date here in 2012, revisited last night (2025) and the place was still excellent. For lunch I'd usually get a burger and fries (excellent fries), or the lobster bisque or clam chowder soups (both fantastic). For our first date (and again last night) we had the Filet Mignon - mine with a loaded baked potato and her's with sweet potatoes. Both meals were absolutely delicious. To top it off we each got a small slice of cake (their slices are very big), also delicious. Our server, Eric, was incredibly nice and attentive. Can't wait to go back again! Great place for a date or for a family outing.

This was our first time and we look forward to more visits. The food was delicious and portions generous. Everything seemed prepared very well. Service was attentive and prices reasonable. There were many menu selections with a variety of items. The desert was amazing !

We ordered the crab dip, but it had a very fishy taste. The manager was understanding and removed it from the ticket, and we replaced it with the spinach dip. Unfortunately, we didn’t enjoy that dish either. When we asked about removing it, the manager said only one item could be taken off, which was disappointing and didn’t make much sense. The seafood pasta also wasn’t enjoyable, as it had far too many tomatoes. The one highlight was the steak, which was cooked well. The strawberry cake was yummy ! Overall, the experience was not satisfying, and I would not return.

The Nantucket Grill in Durham offers a dining experience steeped in New England tradition, featuring a sprawling menu of seafood, steaks, and classic American dishes. However, what truly defines a visit here isn't the entree—it's the infamous, sky-high, multi-layer cakes displayed prominently upon entry. ​The Atmosphere and Service ​Nantucket Grill leans into a classic, established ambiance, which some may find charmingly old-school, while others might view it as slightly dated. The setting is generally comfortable, with outdoor seating often available. ​The menu is extensive, offering everything from Filet Mignon and Cajun Ribeye to New England staples like the Maine Lobster Roll, Crab Cakes, and various stuffed seafood preparations (like the Nantucket Island Stuffed Tilapia).

I have tried several items from the menu and have NEVER been disappointed. Their desserts are made in-house. OH MY--DELICIOUS. If you have never tried bread pudding or you may frown on it, please try. It is a succulent blueberry bread pudding. YUMMY!! I've also had the strawberry shortcake. YUMMY!! I'm confident that whatever your menu selection, you'll enjoy.
