The Lunch-Bucket Block Island

We arrived on the early Ferry and, after waking around the old harbor part of town for over an hour, we became really hungry. As we walked down the street we heard REM and saw an open door. The place smelled great and we were greeted by a friendly guy setting up the menus. We each had a gluten free cheese and egg and bacon sandwich, fantastically cooked and served with a complementary small fresh-squeezed OJ. Amazing bacon! We ate looking out to a beautiful winter Atlantic Ocean view, playing board games. I will definitely go back next time I’m on Block Island.

This is a casual breakfast/lunch option that’s super convenient to downtown. The food is decent, refreshing, and slightly elevated compared to the standard beach offerings (think avocado for your burger, parmesan for the fries, tofu, etc.). There are plenty of options for vegetarians and gluten free diners too. Plenty of seating. Picnic tables are nicely shaded by umbrellas, and have fun games to play while you wait for your food. The servers and owner are friendly and accommodating, and really seemed to try their best to make sure our lunch order exceeded our expectations. They're working out a few kinks in the kitchen as they get up and running this season but they get an A+ for effort and hospitality. We'll definitely return!
