Where should I eat in Cape Cod

I'm a veteran of Cape Cod, having spent some vacation time there everyone of my 62 years, and heading there tomorrow at 6 am from CT. We stay in Eastham, and have hardly every had a bad experience with food on the Cape. I got a newsletter from Roadhouse today, so thought I'd check for some Cape Cod ideas. We're always looking for new places.

This is the first thread I've looked at, and haven't seen much that I'm not familiar with, but we haven't been to some of those mentioned. We always try something new, so will note some of them, and will surely try one or two. We're so fond of our favorites, it's tough to pull ourseleves away from them.

Arnold's is by far our favorite stop for fried stuff, there's no better stop on the planet. After hundreds of trips to P'town over the years, last year we made our first stop at Moby Dick's. We were very impressed, and even returned with some guests. The food was very similar to Arnold's, but with different seating arrangements. For those familiar with Arnold's, where you oder and then stake out a table, MD's does not let you take an empty table, but rather keep an eye on you in line, and will have a table ready for you when the food is ready. As mentioned above, the owners were very noticeable, and friendly. The biggest difference between the two is Arnold's has a great raw bar in the evening, and has beer and wine. MD's allows you to BYOB.

My last one got too long, so in addition to paragrapha, I have gone to a new message. Without being too descriptive, some big time favorites include the following: Land Ho (kale soup), George's Pizza in P'town, Clancy's (Irish Pub) on Upper County in Dennis (best atmosphere) and S. or W. Yarmouth (Rte 28 near Hyannis), and Rookies in Wellfleet.

A couple of out of the way hits are the very small restaurant at Rock Harbor, great fresh fish, and the snack bar at Nauset Beach in Orleans. We were long time fans of Longfellows Pub in Brewster, until they sold the place. The one in S. Yarmouth is good, but not the same atmostphere, and quite small.

Sorry I won't be around to answer and questions, but I'll try to check back upon our return. In closing I must mention our favorite ice cream shop in the world, Sundae School in Orleans, among others in the lower cape. The best donuts and bagel are the Donut Hole shops, Orleans and Eastham, and both have quality breakfasts that we have enjoyed, but mostly got there for take out.

Thanks for all the reminders of places we go by and don't stop at, we'll try a few this year.

Any suggestions in the town of Sandwich?

Captain Parker's Restaurant on Rt. 28 in S.Yarmouth is great, local seafood, the Clam Chowder is fantastic

I joined up here just to add my 2 cents.

I just ate at the the Pilot House, (use to be Shaw's Fish and Lobster, last night and got one of their freash baked pies.

I was quite pleased to note that the bakery added extra protein by including a large mass of maggots in the pie. Knowing that the pie was fresh baked I looked up the gestation period of fruit flies and found that it takes at least 24 hours for the eggs to hatch. The little maggots were quite large and active so I figure my fresh baked pie was really made on Monday or Tuesday and not the day I bought it.

In addition my daughters crab salad was well pass good and tasted pretty ripe and my wife’s clams were pretty swampy. Neither of them finished their meals. All in all it was a waste of 80 bucks.

Needless to say I will not be going back and I will not be recommending them.
