Best Restaurants on Cape Cod

Cape Cod’s food is the Atlantic Ocean on a plate — lobster rolls, fried clams, raw oysters, and fish so fresh it was swimming that morning. The best restaurants here range from roadside shacks with picnic tables to white-tablecloth spots overlooking the harbor.

Clam Shacks & Seafood

Arnold’s Lobster & Clam Bar (Eastham) — The most famous clam shack on the Cape. Fried whole-belly clams, lobster rolls, and raw bar. Outdoor picnic table seating. Cash preferred. Lines are long in summer and worth every minute.
