I'll be there this weekend. Any recommendations on a good restaurant for 2-4 people? Doesn't have to be outrageously expensive....but I don't want to be dining at an Applebees-equivalent, either.

There's a place in Hyannis (if it's still there) called "The White House". It's off the rotary in downtown and the food was really good and plentiful.

I know a 'lil about the Falmouth area.

The Quarterdeck on Main St. (Falmouth) - good food & great lobster roll).

La Cucina Sul Mare on Main St. (Falmouth) - good italian food

The Nimrod (Falmouth) - Good Dinning, great Prime Rib

The Silver Lounge (North Falmouth) - Good food & great steaks

The Chart Room (Cataumet) - The best baked stuff lobster around & great lobster rolls.

There are a lot of other good restaurants in Falmouth & Woods Hole but you're more or less paying for the scenery.

There's more of a selection of restaurants down 28 in Hyannis & in the Dennis/Yarmouth area. Everything from frou frou to great seafood to pub grub. There'a also a decent cigar lounge on Main St. in Hyannis (while your ladies stroll and buy Cape Cod T-shirts).

Have a blast and the weather's been a 'lil humid lately. Give me a shout if you run out of cigars 🙂

Steve.........I think the "Atlantic House" in Provincetown is exactly what you are looking for.

Thanks guys. How about golf? Any must-hit (or in my case, must-slice) courses?

NewB76 - Thanks. I think I have a few here. If I was ever caught without cigars, I'd likely get fired.

Steve there are tons of places to go on the cape. Where about are you staying? I'm sure I could come up with a few.

in between hyannis and Dennis there is captain parkers pub. Voted best chowder on the cape for about 8 years in a row. Really good place. But very busy. Its right on 28.

As for golf I usually play at the Dennis Pines golf course or Hyannis has a public course that is really nice.

Just ate there and was fantastic! You'll need reservations though. Small place, menu changes, freshest stuff possible. Valet parking, free. Chef is the owner. Huge wine list. Casual. The best meal I had on the cape while I was there.

There is the beachcomber in welfleet. British Brew Co in Hyannis. Tugboats in hyannis. Skipper's in yarmouth. Ocean House in dennis has a price fix that is really nice.

Oh, and if you are into the raw bar thing, you must try the welfleet oysters. Those are great.

My Favorite public (semi-pri):

New Seabury (blue course) - right on Vineyard sound and it's very nice. A must play if your around Mashpee.

Farm Neck on the Vineyard - hands down my favorite course in MA.

There's plenty of great golf on the Cape (even the the local town courses are good).

-Olde Barnstable Fair grounds(near Hyannis)

-Brookeside(Bourne)

-Cape Cod(Falmouth)

-Falmouth(Falmouth)

Pretty much each town down Cape has a good course too.

P.S.- Wear your Eagles gear 🙂

OLD CAPE COD

If you like the taste of a lobster stew

Served by a window with an ocean view

(You're sure)You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

Winding roads that seem to beckon you

Miles of green beneath a sky of blue

Church bells chimin' on a Sunday morn

Remind you of the town where you were born

If you spend an evening you'll want to stay

Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay

You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

(aah, aah)

If you spend an evening you'll want to stay (on Cape Cod Bay)

Steve,

Cape Cod is a 90+ minute drive from the bridges to Provincetown.

Where are you staying?

Once we've determine your area, it will be easier to provide suggestions.

Labor Day traffic can be a bear. If you're driving up then turn to WBZ (AM 1030) to listen to the traffic getting over the bridges. If it's more than a 3 mile backup then you should get off at exit 2 on Route 25 and take Route 6 to the bridge (either one, the Sagamore or the Bourne).

Unless it's on Friday afternoon.

Then your screwed no matter what...

Use the tunnel under the canal. much faster than the bridges. 🙂

Would you prefer they accept American dollars or Swedish krona?

I was just at the Cape this weekend for a Hyannis Hurricane Herf and we had dinner at the Brazilian Grill on Main ST, Hyannis.

It's an all you can eat buffet place and the buffet has soups, salads, cheeses, fresh and grilled veggies, rice dishes, beans dishes, sushi, cold seafood, and on and on. You can make a great meal from the buffet alone.

The buffet price was about $18. For another $8 ($26 total) you get all you can eat hot meats carved off a spit. They come around with meat on spits and carve it off at the table. Lamb, prime rib, pork, poultry, chicken hearts and a few other things that I couldn't recognize.

It's recommended that you make reservations otherwise you might be in for a long wait.

Across the street and down a half block or so is a cigar lounge (I forget the name). Full bar and no cutting fee as long as you buy a cigar or drinks. I didn't check the humi because I brought my own and know that the prices would be outrageous (it is MA after all).

Cigar lounge is called Puff the Magic.

Get a Ted Kennedy mask and wear it around. Let us know how it goes.

Lobster Hut in Plymouth

Then head to Provincetown, you'll feel right at home there Steve! it's full of your kind of people.
