Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Black Eyed Susans offers a charming island dining experience with "tuna tartare and Caesar salad" as standout favorites. The imaginative menu by Chef Todd consistently delights, though some find the prices high. The BYOB policy is a plus, and the warm, friendly service enhances the cozy atmosphere.

    Having been to Black Eyed Susans many times for breakfast - I was surprised to see they offered dinner. I truly thought it was a breakfast joint. After looking at a the menu for Stroll - I decided I wanted to go. What a hidden gem. Best kept secret on the island for sure!! Food was FANTASTIC. Service was Fantastic. The Atmosphere was Fantastic! Overall experience was amazing. Like I said - best kept secret on the Island. Look forward to going back in the summer!!

    Fun casual small restaurant with a community feel. The kale salad, salmon and capallini pasta were excellent.

    Todd and Steel are creating so many creative and sumptuous options it is a real special dining experience…especially in this fall season. There is limited seating so make your Stroll reservations now so you do not miss out on this Nantucket gem!
