Everything Else
/this cute little store is staffed by Cape Cod residents with disabilities. They carry a small assortment of farm fresh veggies, as well as prepared foods and supplies. We stop by often for fresh tomatoes and corn, as well as Centerville Pies, which made Oprah’s Favorite Things list. They are located in the bright green building at 193 Main Street. There is a small parking lot behind the building.

Food Scene
Good food. Great for kids - they offer a grilled chicken option with rice and veggies, which is a nice change from the usual junk options at other places. There’s a small bar, if you’re sans kiddos. The daily specials are especially delicious. Open for lunch and dinner. Truly gluten-free fries and other gluten-free options. Just ask.

Honestly, I don’t think people go to the Squire for the food. It is a Chatham landmark. There is a dining room on one side and a bar on the other. Both are casual. Do not take reservations but sometimes you can call ahead and you can take food to go. Nightly entertainment beginning at 10pm. Popular night spot for college kids and college-kids-at-heart.

Although they have slipped down our list to make room for a few other new additions , the food is still excellent and fresh seafood offerings are great (Oysters Rockefeller are a must). From their website: “Upscale eatery in a former church features innovative takes on seafood fare & a bustling bar scene.” Reservations strongly recommended - for dinner only. Sometimes you can get two seats at the bar which tends to get busy. Great lunch option - large assortment of salads. Open daily from 11:30-3pm for lunch and at 5pm for dinner. Oddly, they do not have a website but they do have a Facebook page which lists their menus. Fun for date nights, fine for older kids.

Walking distance from the house - this is a great option for to-go lunch items or dinner. The restaurant has a small bar area and good pizza. From the website: "Mediterranean-inspired dishes made from fresh ingredients and traditional family recipes. From our pizza dough and cheese to our delicious desserts, each menu item is crafted carefully by hand at the restaurant."

Blue Fin is a great place for not only dinner but a before-dinner cocktail. They do not take reservations for parties less than 6 and people do start lining up at the door around 4:45. So popular, they doubled the size of the restaurant in 2015. We have not had dinner here and have heard mixed reviews but the online reviews and word of mouth is positive.

Excellent food. Delicious cocktails. Good for kids. Everyone’s happy! Reservations strongly recommended. The outdoor patio is sweet when it’s cool outside but can be hot with the heat of the summer beating down. Live jazz Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursdays starting at 6:30. Dinner served nightly beginning at 5. If you’re super nice, you can call and order pizza and salads for takeout, if they’re not too busy.

Casual restaurant and bar with solid "pub grub" along with some good seafood specials on the menu. Great place to catch a ball game or sporting event....flat screen TVs can be viewed from almost any spot.

Coal-fired pizza and wings. Pasta, sandwiches, burgers. The wings are amazing, but the pizza is not always a crowd pleaser. Amazing outdoor fire pit and bar area for the adult crowd.

Casual restaurant offering fresh seafood on a daily basis. This place does the typical fried seafood well and also offers less traditional options with their fresh caught daily specials.

Drinks & Nightlife
Upscale tavern located in the grand hotel. This is a great spot to have a cocktail and fresh "bar" snacks before venturing out for the evening. As with everything within the Chatham Bars Inn...the views throughout the property are amazing. During peak summer weeks you may want to inquire about parking options.

Chatham traditions to watch the fishermen arriving with their daily hauls in tow. Food from this spot doesn't get any fresher.....literally.
Schedule Details
The Pier Hosts will be on the observation deck at the Chatham Fish Pier and ready to chat when boats are unloading fish. Fishing is an outdoor business, so naturally the Pier Host Program is weather dependent and seasonal.
While you may find Pier Hosts during the offseason down at the fish pier, they are regularly available between 10 a.m.- 1 p.m. Fridays through Mondays from June 23 through Columbus Day.
