The Lunch-Bucket Block Island — Restaurant in New Shoreham

I was visiting the island last week for a retreat and one of the guests staying at the Blue Dory Inn where I was, informed me that the Lunch Bucket was the best food they encountered on their visit. Intrigued. I had to verify this for myself and walked over on a sunny Thursday afternoon. I was impressed with the alternative lawn space set with picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, and offering picturesque views of the coastline from this vantage point. I was greeted immediately by John who I found out later was the owner of the establishment. He had an apron on and sleeves rolled up, just finishing up serving another patron.

We had the burger sliders, chicken sliders, chicken sandwich and fries. The sandwiches were super juicy and cooked perfectly. The fresh made juices are delicious as well.
