About Nancy's Restaurant
On the Oak Bluffs harborfront since 1960, founded by a Lebanese immigrant and still family-owned by Doug Abdelnour, five generations on. Known for Dirty Banana cocktails, lobster rolls, Middle Eastern platters and gyros, and the Obama family are regulars. There is an upstairs restaurant, Donovan's Bar and a snack bar downstairs.
Before you go
Open roughly May to October. In November 2025 the owner bought 25 Circuit Ave, the former Linda Jean's, for a new fast-casual place.
