About this restaurant

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

    Arrived to a pleasant greeting from front of house staff & our server. To the credit of her & the manager, the loud party beside us with children was asked to please realize that there were other diners out for a quiet dinner. Service was excellent, food was delicious & we had a wonderful night.

    arrived 5:45 & got water & cocktails ordered in normal time as well as meal order. Apps delivered in normal time however did not get main meal nor have waitress attend to us for another 45 minutes! We had 2 children with us so it was not what we expected! Regardless of having kids with us we were perplexed with how long it took to get our meals.? Food was very tasty overall.

    Great dining experience for Cape guests and residents alike. Pate’s Staff is very courteous, attentive, and accommodating, even when dining room is full. The Bar always has a great vibe going as well!

    We had a terrific evening at Pate's! We loved the vibe and clearly it's a popular spot as the restaurant and bar were full while we were there. We started with thoughtfully prepared cocktails, and our entrees were delicious. Our server, Adrienn, was attentive, friendly and made excellent recommendations. I highly recommend Pate's!

    As usual, we had a lovely evening. Our server, Jeannie, was wonderful. The food was delicious and we were very pleased with everything except the temperature in the dining room. It was too cold.

    The food was outstanding, but the service was unfortunately disappointing. We had been finished for nearly 30 minutes, and while our server was definitely checking other tables in our section, she wouldn’t even glance at us so that we could flag her down. Eventually had to go to the host stand to ask them to get our check, which the manager delivered with only a cursory apology. The server eventually came by and said she thought we were still doing fine. Our plates and glasses had been empty for some time, and she didn’t ever think to clear a plate or ask if we wanted dessert. High price for poor service, and while we have always enjoyed going to Pate’s, I’m not sure we will be back.
