They tell me this clam shack on Martha's Vineyard has been around for years and judging by the quality of their food I can understand that. It is one of the best clam shacks my husband and I have been to. When we arrived it was only us and another couple. In just a few minutes it became very crowded.... More

We had to go to try the fabulously reviewed clams. They didn't meet expectations. The clams tended more towards "strips" than bellies. Perhaps it had been a long day and we got an unlucky box but at the crazy prices, there shouldn't be poor batches like this. Menemsha is small, it's an easy walk across the street to Larsens for...

The fried clams at the Bite were amazing. I would go all the way back to the vineyard for more of their clams. It's cash only and there isn't much seating outside. It is 100% worth it though - absolutely delicious!

This place has the best fried food on Chilmark and maybe the island. Best fried clams, zucchini and fries. As a chowder lover i enjoyed it quite a lot. every time there is a line, so give them a call and order in advance. Pick up the food and watch the most beautiful sunset in Menemsha. The place is an...

The bite's one of those places where all the food is fried and decent, the lines are long and the prices are more than a little inflated. That said...you have to eat there sometimes. It just must be done! Call it an experience or whatever, The Bite's necessary when in Menemsha. A word to the wise...if you think you'll get... More

I had always read about The Bite and it lived up to it's reputation. Drinks come out of a coke machine so if you want... More

My family have been going to The Bite for years. It is what it is! A snack shack at an upscale fishing village. We always order a lobster roll because it is almost all lobster. Portions tend to be small. The service is very slow and tables at the back porch are often crowded. This is not a gourmet place.... More

The Bite has great fried clams. They are worth the price, and taste fresh. French fries rounded out a great meal on the Vineyard!

We've purchased delicious take-out from The Bite for years, but this time were served frozen fish fillets and frozen french fries - for $13.99!!! The fillets were so obviously the frozen kind, with a uniform, flat shape and thick breading. I can't speak for the rest of the choices on the menu, but at a well-known and popular establishment such... More
