In tranquil Wellfleet, an art-gallery-filled community just 20 minutes from Provincetown, you'll find one of Cape Cod's top "in-the-rough" dining experiences, Mac's Seafood (265 Commercial St., 508-349-0404), a humble take-out place by the town pier and harbor. It's hard to think of a more perfect lunch at Mac's than a lobster roll, a cup of clam chowder (not too thin, not too thick - I garnish mine with a few splashes of Tabasco Sauce), and a container of blueberry-banana juice from locally renowned Nantucket Nectars. Afterwards, you can stroll back up to Mac's take-out window to order a few scoops of ice cream.
Keep in mind that Mac's is seasonal, and only open until mid-afternoon on weekdays, but till early evening on weekends. The same owners run nearby Mac's Shack, however, a sit-down restaurant that's open nightly (again in season) until 10 pm.
