Our Favorites

From casual seafood shacks for cold beer and a cold lobster roll (our personal preference) to waterfront martinis, we are so excited to share with you some of our favorite bites and beaches on the Cape!

Catch of the Day

Our Hit List for Food, Drinks, and Fun

Best Lobster Roll: The Seafood Shanty

803 Scenic Hwy, Buzzards Bay, MA 02532

Hidden gem before the bridge onto Cape Cod. Pro tip courtesy of Wishbone Kitchen — they serve enough lobster to split it into TWO sandwiches. Ask for an extra bun or indulge in an XL roll.

Best Quahog: Sesuit Harbour Cafe

357 Sesuit Neck Rd, Dennis, MA 02638

Don’t let the rustic, laid-back, and outdoor charm fool you, this waterfront cafe has some of the best seafood and raw bars on Cape. Make sure to get a quahog (or two), but don’t forget, it’s cash only.

Best Martini with a View: Chatham Bars Inn

297 Shore Rd, Chatham, MA 02633

Beach House Grill at Chatham Bars Inn makes the crispiest martini - ice chips and all. Sit out on the patio, watch the sunset, and order some oysters.

Best Outdoor Bar: Sand Bar

33 Lighthouse Rd, West Dennis, MA 02670

A near perfect beachside bar with indoor and outdoor seating, live music, and great vibes. Check out their "Big Three Drinks": the Painkiller, Mojito, and Mudslide.

Best Late Night Bar: The Woodshed

1933 Main St, Brewster, MA 02631

Speaking of live music, The Woodshed is the place to be for good music, good drinks, and a good time with your friends. Get there before 9:00 to grab a good seat — it does get packed! Cash only.

Best Splurge: The Ocean House

425 Old Wharf Rd, Dennis Port, MA 02639

If you’re feeling fancy, check out The Ocean House. This waterfront restaurant boasts a phenomenal menu. Chelsea recommends the five-layer ahi tuna tartar or calamari with pork belly. Check out Beach Bar next door for a more casual vibe.

Best Mini Golf: Pirates Cove

728 Main St, South Yarmouth, MA 02664

“Arrgh!” That’s what you’ll be saying when you take on the Pirates Cove! Head here for top notch mini golf with the whole gang.

Best Date Night: Wellfleet Drive-In

51 State Hwy., Rte. 6, Wellfleet, MA 02667

Cape Cod's last remaining drive-in movie theater! Each night, they have a double feature with a mix of classics and new releases. Don’t skip the concessions! They also host a large daytime flea market.

Best Breakfast: Hole in One

98 MA-6A, Orleans, MA 02653

Do-nut miss out on this one! Hole in One has some of the best donuts on the Cape, as well as breakfast sandwiches and great cold brew. Mike recommends the Honey Dipped or the Sour Cream donuts.
