Things To Do
The Port Restaurant
Our go-to spot to bring friends and family for happy hour and oysters! Great place for drinks, apps, dinner and our favorite $1 Oysters (check site or call for exact time of day). Centrally located in downtown Harwich Port.

George's Pizza House
Good ol'fashion pizza place if you're looking for a night to order in traditional pizzas, subs, calzones, etc.!
Ruggie's Breakfast and Lunch
