If the file really is binary, od can be used to display the contents in
a variaty of formats (single bytes, shorts, and longs in hex, octal,
decimal; as well as ascii characters).

usable output than od.

For interactive use I'd suggest Emacs and its hexl-mode. Command

Alt+x hexl-find-file

will open a file in hexl-mode.
