Uncle Pete's Chowder House — Restaurant in Brewster

If you haven’t checked out the new Uncle Pete’s (formerly Brewster Inn & Chowder House), stop what you’re doing and get there—like now. It’s still got that laid-back Cape charm we all loved, but with a serious upgrade in flavor, vibe, and drinks that hit hard in the best way.

Let’s talk food: the tuna nachos are straight-up addictive—crispy wontons, super fresh tuna, and just the right kick. It’s the kind of thing you order “for the table” but end up guarding like a dragon. The stuffed quahog is classic but with that Uncle Pete’s twist—savory, just the right amount of spice, and big on flavor.

The mushroom beignets? Total sleeper hit. Light, crispy, and earthy—like if New Orleans and Cape Cod had a delicious little baby. And the salmon is next-level—perfectly cooked, super fresh, and plated like it belongs in a downtown Boston spot.

But real talk: the strawberry margarita is worth the trip alone. Fresh, not too sweet, and dangerously easy to sip. The whole cocktail list is strong, but that marg is the move on a sunny afternoon.

Whether you’re a local or back in town for the summer, Uncle Pete’s is the new go-to. Same great location, whole new energy—and honestly? It might be the best thing to happen to...

Maybe it was the day, but the food was quite bad. The oysters and clams were not fresh and the entrees were very bad. Nothing had flavor, the lobster carbonara was in a watery cream sauce (not carbonara, which for the record is egg and Parmesan cheese with no cream or milk!) and the fish was lackluster. I don’t understand these 5 star reviews raving about the food, so I guess there must be different chefs who aren’t all trained and they are probably not selling enough shellfish to keep it...

While in Brewster we stopped in for dinner at uncle Pete’s chowder house. We were greeted by a friendly young girl and had a wonderful waitress called Rylee. The food and service were outstanding!! We had the mushrooms beignet for an appetizer and the stripped bass special. Both were incredible!! Our compliments to the chef!! Delicious. We would definitely go...
