About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood 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.

    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.

    Pretty good. My wife ordered Pinot Grigio and the waitress brought out Pinot Noir. No big deal…except twice the waitress insisted that my wife ordered the Pinot Noir then reluctantly took it back and brought out the correct wine ordered. My wife can’t even say Pinot Noir correctly so I know she didn’t order it. Waitress obviously misheard what my wife said and never admitted it or apologized. I did leave a tip because I am not a Neanderthal, but would have been more if the waitress wasn’t one.

    Our waitress Shannon was wonderful.! The beet salad was great and my husband loved the tuna cones. The scallops were ok. The succatash seemed to have everything in it. We didn't know what was in it. We couldn't tell what the puree was- it looked like gravy. Sometimes less is more. It's better to keep it simple.

    This restaurant is moderately upscale. The food was tasty, nicely presented and service was good . The noise level was moderate. The ambiance is contemporary and pleasant. The prices are higher than average for Cape Cod.

    All six people in our Mothers Day party were completely satisfied with everything- food, service, ambiance…. We haven’t been to Pates since it changed hands and will definitely be back.
