Seafood Restaurant Near Truro, MA — The Brickhouse Eastham

When Truro's Choices Run Out, the Drive Begins

You're in Truro. You know how the Outer Cape narrows here — the dunes on one side, the bay on the other, the sky enormous. You also know that when the day ends and dinner calls, the options close to you are limited. That's why Truro people drive fifteen minutes south on Route 6 to The Brickhouse Restaurant in Eastham.

After a day exploring the dunes of Cape Cod National Seashore, watching the light change over Highland Light, or kayaking the Pamet River, you need to sit down somewhere that took dinner seriously. Full bar. Full kitchen. The kind of meal that makes you feel like the day was complete.

Caribbean Technique on the Cape's Best Catches

The Brickhouse kitchen starts with what came off the boats — Wellfleet oysters cold and briny from ten minutes up the road, haddock and scallops that were in the water recently — and applies Caribbean technique: jerk spice, coconut broths, citrus, rum-glazed preparations that make the fish taste more alive, not less like itself. This is what island cooking does to local seafood when someone actually knows what they're doing.

Whether you've been summering at the National Seashore for thirty years or you drove down the Cape for the first time this week, dinner at The Brickhouse is the kind of thing you'll remember as the best part of the trip. Come while you're still here.

The Specials Are Worth Planning Around

Prime Rib Wednesday — slow-roasted, limited, gone by 8 PM most weeks. $1 Oyster nights on select evenings when a dozen becomes inevitable. These aren't marketing. They're a point of pride and a good reason to check before you come.

Family-owned and operated by Lindsay and Chef Versel. Gluten-free options are real and labeled. The kitchen pays attention to dietary needs because the people running it understand that the detail matters. From the first course to the last drink, someone is thinking about your table.
