For unbeatable fresh seafood, you have to check out the Sesuit Harbor Cafe! This is the best clam shack I have ever been to and I cannot recommend it enough! Great food at decent prices. If you are hungry, I recommend the Fisherman's Platter. Their scallops should be sampled at the very least. They also have a raw bar for Oysters, etc. Can be a little packed depending on the day. It is outdoor seating only, BYOB and Cash only (but they do have an ATM on site).
Side note: At the Harbor on Fridays & Saturdays from 5-8, fresh lobster can be purchased from the Emma Rose lobster boat.

I consider Spoon and Seed to be one of the many hidden gems on Cape Cod, but the only one I've found for brunch and delicious breakfast. All their food is local Cape farm sourced including their coffee! The atmosphere is wonderful and the sit-down setting is friendly for groups and families alike. The portions are appropriately filling and not so large that you will be walking away with that over-stuffed feeling. If you have room at the end of your meal, be sure to try one of their Spudnuts (potato donuts). Get one to go if you can't eat it then, you will not be disappointed!
On top of all this, it is within a 5 minute drive from the house!

On top of having a fine assortment of fantastic wines, cheese, and other accouterments, The Brown Jug provides a wood fired thin crust pizza experience that should not be overlooked.
The pizza creations take your taste buds on a culinary adventure that steers clear of the standard "pepperoni pizza" fare one would find at any chain pizza house. Top-shelf ingredients are combined in ways that simply work and I don't think anyone should be afraid of a bad experience with anything from the menu. The special pizza changes regularly and is highly recommended.
A note about hours: they close at 8pm and from year to year have different end-of-season dates. Call ahead to make sure they are open!

Entertainment & Activities
A newly renovated movie theater with spacious seating offering current run movies with occasional classic movies and specialty screenings. There is a full service cafe offering some food & drink selections (including Cape Cod local beers on tap). We recommend booking ahead of time online and showing up early as seating is limited and often sells out quickly in the summer season.
