About this restaurant

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

    Food and atmosphere are great. The night we had reservations at5:30 on a Saturday. The restaurant was quiet, but for some reason our server felt the need to rush our time there. We were in and with apps and drinks in one hour. When we would have like to spend more time and money there especially when the restaurant was quiet?

    Food was delightful and the service top-notch! We both had the Scallop Special of the day, Golden Beet Salad, and Carrot Cake. Portions were ample, the Black Manhattan was tasty as was the wine.

    2 year break from Pate’s, always good, never great. But, last night, returned to a great meal and very dedicated service. For all those in Chatham that were similarly taking a break, I would recommend a return! But still, too much carpeting. But that’s my issue!

    I ordered the prime rib rare and got it medium. It was ok. My husband got the shoulder filet that was meh. I wish they had a tenderloin filet on the menu because that’s what i was craving but they don’t. Not sure i would make the effort to go back.

    Service was friendly, but slow. Fish of the day was tasty. Hamburgers were undercooked and greasy.

    Our waitress Heather was delightful, attentive, informative and accommodating. The Prix Fix meal: Caesar salad, halibut on a bed of vegetables over risotto in a coconut cream sauce was delicious, and good value. Upon arrival we were served kalamata olives, French bread, olive oil with balsamic, and whipped butter...what a treat. Will be backed again!
