Beach House Grill At Chatham Bars Inn

A lunchtime visit to the Beach House Grill in Chatham had the potential to be a delightful experience. The restaurant is beautifully situated off Shore Road, overlooking Aunt Lydia's Cove and Chatham Harbor, offering stunning views. Our group of six was excited for a great time, especially with our lively and friendly waiter. Unfortunately, the overall vibe of the clientele and some staff members leaned towards the pretentiousness often associated with Cape Cod, and the food quality was mediocre considering the steep prices. This made for an entertaining, yet ultimately disappointing and costly dining experience. On a positive note, they were able to make their Crab BLT with gluten-free toast, which was a nice option for $32, including a small salad. However, there are plenty of excellent restaurants on the Cape where spending $600.62 for lunch would have felt far more worthwhile and enjoyable.

The ambiance is outstanding, and the service along with the cocktails are excellent. However, the appetizer brought my rating down to four stars. The Quahog and chorizo fritters were slightly undercooked, making it difficult to taste the clams or chorizo. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely return.

The fish and chips here are excellent—generous portions of fish with the perfect amount of batter. The service is outstanding, and the views of the beach are a wonderful bonus!

Great experience. We rolled up on bikes and were eager for lunch and they accommodated us right away and the valet even kept an eye on our bikes. The food was really delicious but the prices were extremely high. Views were lovely and service was great.

Will, Victor and Mary at the bar were outstanding between their service and attentiveness. They never let anyone wait long for a refill on a drink, you can tell when a team works well together and these three were rockstars. Try to get here early to snag a seat at the bar as it’s first come first serve. Just be aware many weekends they shut down in the afternoon to cater to weddings.
