Atmosphere is so festive and fun you don't even feel like you're in Chatham anymore. Cool Tiki stuff all over- see photos. While our server was initially very nice and solicitous, service declined right as we were ready to leave and we had to prompt him to cash us out. Also, note there is a 3% kitchen fee applied to your check. Take note, they may be hoping you had so many cocktails you don't notice!

Tiki vibes!!! Lots of fans, all outdoor seating.

It's the off-season, and while the service was very friendly, it was a little spotty--they definitely seemed understaffed. Food-wise, everything was great. The calamari appetizer was especially excellent: a generous portion, and I loved the addition of artichokes and banana peppers. We ordered the "famous" scallop roll for our main. It was good, but not amazing, in my opinion. We also got the burger, which was very tasty and super filling. Overall, another solid meal!

Mussels, perfect !

Highest of recommendations!…read more Right in Route 28 as you head into Chatman Shopping District. Plenty of parking and open year round. Like the old Caswell's in Marshfield, you buy at a counter, they give you a number, and you sit on down as food is brought to you. The inside of Mac's is very clean and spacious, and has about twenty tables. There is seating outside - seasonal and today is January, with snow... so we stayed inside. Started off with the Mac's Clam Chowder which was a lovely milk broth - just as good as the chowder at the Clark Cooke House in Newport, Rhode Island! Homemade, flavorful and not jammed with excessive potatoes or onion; the clams were cooked well. I had the fish soup, looked almost like Portuguese Kale, but was very delicious, had a bit of heat to it, the fish was downright incredible; the carrots, celery, and onions were cooked to perfection. We usually get some raw bar, and they have a nice selection of little necks, cherry stones, and oysters, but today for us it was a pound and half of steamed clams. Plump, clean, and sand free. Just as good as those at Mattakeese Wharf Restaurant. Lobster... I asked for a two pounder, and got a 2.5 pounder. Fresh, delicious, succulent, and sweet. Wonderful and hard working staff. No negatives whatsoever.

Didn't really get the hype. I've definitely had better clam chowder and lobster rolls. The chowder…read morewas more on the liquidy/watery side and the lobster roll would've been 100x better if they added more butter and warmed the lobster meat up. Some pieces of lobster tasted odd.

The wedge salad and Thai chicken dumplings were a great start. And the pan seared salmon and pan seared swordfish were also very tasty with interesting sides. But, the baked stuffed shrimp was only okay, as the orange-citrus sweet sauce was overpowering and off-putting and the forbidden rice was inedible. My friend's pork chop was way overcooked and dry. The service was a big detractor. Our waitress barely engaged with our table of four. She arrived with our main course and noticed all the appetizer plates hadn't been cleared and set our hot dinners on a tray stand while she removed empty plates. Awkward! She never checked on our dinners, and when we were almost finished, she returned to ask if we wanted more wine or another cocktail. Too late! It's unfortunate as some of the food was really good, but at $100/person (with tip), I'd expect better.

Now, I write this as someone who doesn't even like burritos and I liked mine, so that tells you everything. You can DIY the burrito/bowl for breakfast or lunch and at lunch they have some options you can choose from. I did cheese and meat for about $10. You can pick 2 meat options- I did corned beef and bacon, they also have steak, sausage and an option to add veggies for an additional $2. Then, included are some other toppings like pickled onions, sour cream and sauce. I wish it was a little bigger for $10 but it is the Cape! Expect to wait in line during busy Cape months.
