About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighbourhood gem
From July 1st, 1957, there had been two owners of Pates, Cloyde Pate followed by the Gardner family of Chatham. Mr. Pate opened the doors to what would soon become one of Cape Cod’s most beloved restaurants. Once a cozy hamburger and ice cream stand, Pates grew to be a place of celebration, camaraderie, and community. From the bonds staff made during countless summer seasons, to the engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, and family gatherings, Pates has been a backdrop for exceptional moments and people.

We are honored to steward the next chapter of the Pates journey. A renovated space to create new memories and friends, Pates is still that very special place. With careful consideration, we have redefined this Chatham classic and are serving up an experience rooted in the best things in life: great food, good people, and lifelong memories.

    Would absolutely recommend. While the outside does not look like anything special, the inside is beautiful! Deep blue walls with amazing artwork, and plenty of room around the tables not to be too close to other parties. A wide menu, excellent attentive service, and the food was fab.

    Food was not that great. Asian fusion gone wrong, Duck tacos had way too much sauce in the meat; not sure about the pickle. Out off all the scallop dishes we have had, this one was by far the strangest you could find on the east coast. Ahi tuna wasn’t bad, but wasn’t good either. Only a few pieces of tuna with a yard sale of fried rice and veggies. Hoped for more, but hey, it was what it was; over-rated and underwhelming.

    Thanks for your review, we are truly sorry to hear that your experience with our service didn't meet expectations. We know that you are a valued customer and we do appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately, we were in the process of training new servers and clearly we need to do a better job at that. We do hope that you come back so we can make up for your poor experience.

    Shannon our server was the best. Funny, pleasant and she made the whole dining experience even better. Food and drinks were very good. New construction updates to interior and exterior also contributed to the overall enjoyment of a great meal at a great restaurant.
