Nomans

Really cool restaurant bar with huge outdoor area much of it covered. Games to play while you listen to live bands. Probably one of our favorite places in our one week trip to the island.

Such a cute spot between Edgartown and Oak Bluffs. Awesome to-go options for the beach are eating on site. There are yard games like connect four and cornhole, and an outdoor TV where we watched an NFL game. A really great value for the food we had also: hotdog and chicken sando were delish and the fries were piping hot.

Amazing Oysters & Laid-Back Island Vibes Our first attempt to visit Nomans was on a Friday night—unknowingly right when it seemed like everyone on the island had the same idea! We decided to try again on Saturday afternoon, and I’m so glad we did. The vibes were still popping, but without the long wait. Molly, the bartender, was fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and pouring some truly delicious drinks. We enjoyed a couple of Mai Tais and a strong Old Fashioned before diving into the main event: the oysters. And let me tell you… these were AH-mazing—so fresh, so tasty, just downright guuud! We started with a half dozen, but they were so good we had to order another half dozen. I can honestly say these are probably the best oysters I’ve had to date. Our kids enjoyed playing a few games while

We came here on a late Friday afternoon to dance, have some food & drinks, and listen to the DJ. Nomads now charges a $10 entry fee ($12 if you use a credit card), as of the 2025 season. Seating was limited so we had to stand for a bit before we were able to find a place to sit. There were reserved sections on the patio and out on the lawn. We eventually found seats with a table and ordered appetizers and drinks. There was a couple of corn hole games outside which kept some of the children that were present, occupied. The DJ played a variety of music that kept everyone on the dance floor. A good time was had.

Noman’s has become an annual outing during our vacation. It streamlines food and drink orders by offering counter service. This allows them to service many customers in a short period of time. It’s amazing to see retirees enjoying a meal together while kids run circles around the tables. The atmosphere is laid back, which makes it suitable and welcoming to all. They have great music, tasty food, a raw bar, and a wide selection of drinks. Seating is first-come, first-served, so you may need to stake out your location. Parking can also be difficult, and they offer an off-site shuttle service. Food in the photo includes short rib tacos (left), kale salad (right), and potato salad (back).
