The pizza is pretty decent here if you've got to have pizza. I had the buffalo chicken a couple of years ago and it was yummy! My mother would say pass on this place though. Haha

This is the go-to place in the area for fresh seafood and sushi. Super busy at dinner time in the summer and they don’t take reservations (as of this writing in Feb 2022). They also have a fish market with very fresh fish. Locals love it. Be warned, it can be very noisy.
2024 update: I don’t eat here anymore. It’s too expensive and the Black Whale and Fisherman’s View are better (and take reservations) for the same price point. They do have really excellent shrimp and fish in their market so it’s worth going if you’re picking up at the market and not eating their prepared foods.

This is my favorite place to go out for a nice meal on the water. They have oysters and excellent cocktails. The chickpea burger is crave-worthy (I know you don’t go to a seafood place for a chickpea burger but it is verrrry good). Definitely make a reservation before heading out - it’s about a half hour drive if there’s no cape traffic. Don’t recommend going over on a Friday night in the summer. No cocktail is worth that travel headache!

Locals love the Gateway for their large portion sizes and giant margaritas. The food is pretty good - the burgers are solid. The seafood, I feel, is hit or miss. I’ve had wonderful swordfish there and I’ve had questionable swordfish there. Turnover on food will be high in the summer and less of a concern. Fun trivia night at the bar on Thursdays at 7pm. Win prizes! Make friends!
2024 update: portion sizes are smaller and the food isn’t as good as it used to be. Still fun for trivia night and worth going to hang in the bar and have bar snacks.

This is where we we used to order pizza from but now we go to Wareham House of Pizza. It’s usually good but they do have off nights. New York style (ish).

The pizza here is delicious as well as the other items on the menu. Can be a little pricey for the area but it’s usually worth it. Cocktails are ok, could be better.

This waterfront watering hole is only open during the summer. I’ve had wonderful steamers and oysters here and mediocre cocktails. The view is lovely and the atmosphere is fun.

This is the place to go for "Greek style" pizza. I'm not sure why it's called greek style but I do know this place is the best around. As of Spring '22 this is the place we buy pizza from. Quick and well priced.

Good pizza. Nice sit down place with cocktails. They have other food but I haven’t had it. You can bring your dog if you sit outside. They even have a dog menu!

Best kept secret for thrifting in the area. It's not the biggest thrift shop but it's my favorite. I've found lots of higher end clothes there for great prices! Open Wednesday and Saturdays from 10am - 1pm.

Lots of dealers here. I've found some great objects here. Prices are usually pretty good - rare to find a bargain and rare to see anything completely over priced. Excellent place for rainy day browsing.

Sightseeing
Take a right out of the driveway and walk about 2 minutes and you’ll come to Brainard Marsh. Walk down the path and come to a small beach. It’s a great spot to take the little ones for a swim. I go there in the morning for daily meditation. If it’s recently rained or close to sunset put some mosquito repellent on to get through the woods. Enjoy!

Take a look in the AllTrails app for where to find the trailhead. It's really beautiful here and you won't run into too many people.
