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.

    Everything was terrific, as always. My only complaint was being seated in a smaller, quieter room, only to have a very energetic group of 13 seated shortly thereafter in the same room. Oh well - at least they were a happy group!

    The bar staff was very good and helpful. Our server at the table spoke very fast and told him to repeat several times. It is stressful when a server speaks very fast that you can’t understand him throughout the meal. Otherwise his service was good. Food was good and we all had something different…. Pork chop, Cod and Cornish Hen. We enjoyed the preparation. Fries was substituted by a vegetable and the diner enjoyed that much more.

    Thank you so much for joining us and for your thoughtful feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the food and had a great experience with our bar staff. We appreciate you pointing out the issue with communication at the table. We’ll be sure to share that with our team as we’re always looking to improve. We’re glad the rest of the service and substitutions worked out well, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

    Had a great meal in the bar area with fantastic service by Sam the bartender (seriously). Ceviche and lime shrimp apps were delicious along with the Cornish Hen, highly recommended!

    Pates is one of the top three restaurants we dine at regularly. We enjoy bringing friends and family there when they visit us. The menu is varied and offers something for everyone. The food and service are consistently excellent.

    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.
