Pates

A longstanding Chatham institution, Pates has been serving Cape Cod locals and tourists for over 60 years. Known for its classic American fare, it offers a diverse menu with a focus on prime cuts of steak and fresh seafood. A standout dish is the center-cut boneless New York sirloin, grilled to perfection over an open flame. The restaurant’s old-school charm is enhanced by its comfortable lounge, where guests can enjoy dishes like fried fish and chips or a steak sandwich. Pates is open year-round and provides an authentic Cape Cod dining experience steeped in tradition​.
