Great taco spot. Terrific drink specials. If you want a great view while eating, head up to the rooftop deck of the Mosley hotel, and order your meal "to go" and have it sent up. You won't be disappointed!

I love their specialty pizzas. The sauerkraut and sausage might sound strange, but it's a local favorite for a reason. Best quality when you eat in, delivery tends not to be a great experience. If you want delivery, check out Chet and Matt's.

Best sandwiches in town! Make sure to check if they are open, as their hours vary by season. The view from the docks are amazing.

This is my favorite pizza in the area. They just make a no fuss pie right. Local guys, with deep roots in the community. Strong supporters of local sport and youth organizations. I find simple pies by them to be best. If you want "specialty" pies, look at Cameo, but dine in for the best quality.

A gem of a spot, right downtown. Sushi, Asian dishes, and more beer taps than I can count. Plus, they recently opened their own attached brewery, so make sure to check that out while you're there for dinner.

A great collection of food, treats, and sport (ax throwing, and mini bowling), with a museum feel in between with local historical features. A great spot for breakfast before hitting the Jet Express to the Islands.
