The Yardarm in Orleans on the Lower Cape

Every town has one . . . that neighborhood gathering place where friends meet for a drink, some conversation and conviviality, where upon entry you're greeted with a smile and a thanks for coming, and where, when you get hungry, a table is waiting and the food is solid, as is the service.

In Orleans, we're that place - The Yardarm. Since 1972, we've been the spot on Outer Cape Cod where friends meet and friends are made. Local color abounds, from fishermen to physicians, tradesmen to tourists, all rubbing elbows at the bar and extending conversation from table to table while the Red Sox or the Patriots appear on our many TVs.

The Yardarm History

A few years ago, a local writer, a world traveler, once described The Yardarm Restaurant as "The closest thing that Cape Cod has to an authentic European pub."

He was right.

Our restaurant has an extensive menu of local seafoods, chowders and soups, steaks and burgers. Every day the Specials Board goes up with even more offerings to tempt you with appetizers and finger foods, the day's fresh catch right off the boat, the burger of the day, the lunch specials and much more.

Mondays and Thursdays are Prime Rib nights, with two cuts to choose from depending upon your appetite, and with a baked potato and salad, they're meals you shouldn't miss. Tuesdays are our popular Mexican Nights, with quesadillas, burritos and more. Fridays and Saturdays are our steak nights, with generous choice cuts of beef from filet mignon to sirloin to Del Monico, grilled to your taste.

The Yardarm Restaurant is easy to find, on Route 28 in Orleans, just outside the center of town, and down the street from the Orleans Cardinals baseball field.

Voted Best Chowder for Lower Cape!
- Cape Cod Life Reader's Poll 2007

We've also been recommended as one of Cape Cod's great casual dining spots by Cape Dining Out:

“I go with the fish 'n chips, but start off with a cup of the very good, very thick seafood chowder. I'm sated, well satisfied, and well served by an always friendly floor staff. The Yardarm is also kid and grand kid friendly, and both for the quality and quantity of the food, it's as good a bargain as you will find on the lower Cape.”

The Yardarm Restaurant, Orleans. 37 years old, and getting better every day.
