My sister and I waited ~45 minutes to order. Luckily the weather wasn't too hot so it was tolerable. Even though the seating area was packed we didn't have any issues finding a table. Our food came out within 10 minutes after placing our order. I do like that this place is byob. There were lots of families and friends out enjoying their choice of drinks while digging into the food. Great spot to enjoy the weather and seafood with friends and family. read more

Unpopular opinion: not worth it. Although we were prepared for a very long wait, and we settled in and met our neighbors and had a great time exchanging stories, after the approximate 45 minute wait in line just to order, I was met with a rather curt not at all pleasant order-taker. After all that time, you would think that the face of the business would be gracious for spending your time and money here when there are hundreds and hundreds of choices on the Cape. I'm truly genuinely curious if this is a reflection of the ownership or if they don't receive feedback about how the experience goes over. I get it. The service industry is thankless however, a little politeness and cheer goes a long way. Further, being told in a rather abrupt manner that there are no substitutions allowed is one way to convey the message, but not the only way. in the end, after another wait (maybe 15 mins more) at our table for the food to arrive, I was fairly disappointed with my lobster roll. The lobster meat did not even make it to the edge of the bun. I received coleslaw, which I was not interested in having (as you recall, "no substitutions allowed"). In fact, when I got home a couple hours later, I was hungry again. My suggestion, skip the long wait, the cash only option, and the not as picturesque or as delicious as I expected option, and try one of many the many other establishments in the area. One main positive: BYOB. read more

Service was racist!!! If you are not white, do not go!!! I spent $200 with 7 cheap plastic cups for drinks. I did not use 3 of them. Clean not used!! I wanted to be a responsible citizen to decease plastic consumption, asked for refund of the 3 F@$! Plastic cups... a lineman-Youngish, WHITE male said back "that is a way to go out of business." I said back that I gave you more than enough service (witha tip more than the 3 freaking plastic cups). I gave $20 for the beer money to the kitchen in that white bucket also!!! (At least the kitchen crew said thank you back). So this is def a way for this place to go out of business!!! I def will not rec this place and will not return ever! I believe that there are plenty of seafood restaurants with much more polite and more worldly and cultures people!!! Not that white male guy lineman or whatever he does in the touching my raw oysters and crab legs I ordered. Yelp is a pretty reputable place for reviews. My #1 place to go when I am looking for food recs. So don't come to cafe if you are persons of color!!!! read more

Very casual and very good outdoor seafood place. We enjoyed a lobster roll and swordfish tips with potato salad and corn. Thanks to the staff. BYOB and cash only. read more

My friend said he breakfast sandwich was delicious. Yes. I had a creme puff for breakfast, don't judge me! It's beautiful outside sitting at the picnic tables outside! I hear the seafood is to die for and it's BYOB! This place is a must go! Not fancy schmancy but very Cape Cod! read more

I continue to love Sesuit Harbor. Whenever friends are visiting the cape in the summer, this is always on my list of recommendations. The food is fresh and the overall vibe is unbeatable. The lobster roll is my #1 on cape as the portions and flavor are always the best. Stop by the raw bar to grab some shrimp or quahog while you wait for the rest of your food to arrive. Just know the line is worth the wait and a part of the experience :) read more

When we first started gong to this place, it was a hidden gem. Now, the lines are long, the prices are high, and you can get better lobster elsewhere on the Cape. read more

Perfect coastal vibe. Came fir the lobster roll which was very good. But lobster bisque was a standout. Bonus celeb sighting at table next to us: Ethan Hawke. read more

**CASH ONLY** This place is pretty well known and as a result the line can get pretty long pretty fast. My advice? Come right before lunch (I recall it was 11am?) and just wait until they switch to the lunch menu. We got served pretty quick through this method. Outdoor seating only! Items we ordered (as of 9/2025). - Lobster Roll - $37.38 - Fantastic! If you're coming here you have to get this. A lot of lobster with great flavor. I would highly recommend this. - Mahi Sandwich - $23.36 - This wasn't bad but nothing special. Was hoping for more flavor from the fish. I would give this a pass. - Onion Rings - $9.35 - I'm a sucker for onion rings and these were delicious. Great batter and well seasoned. I would 100% order this again. - Clam Chowder - $6.54 - Pretty good but nothing special for us. - Scallop Plate - $23.36 - Delicious and recommended. Scallops were cooked perfectly. - Lobster Cake - $16.82 - Very good. You can really taste the lobster in the patty. Only wish they gave us more than 1! Overall if you're in the area I would definitely make the trip over here. Just plan to arrive early! read more

Location is definitely a vibe. Love that the tables are next to the water. I got fried oysters, which were not chewy/rubbery and cooked well. Could use more seasoning as the flavor was a bit lacking. Portion wise, the meat itself is kinda small relative to the fried batter, so something to keep in mind. read more

We got here and it was peak (hot and lunch time) we waited about an hour in line. People in front of kept saying that there might now be any lobster rolls left so we were a little scared. Thankfully we thy had enough for us! You guys when I say this is the best lobster roll I have ever had I mean it! We went on a lobster roll hunt when in cape cod and this was the best one we had!! The view was spectacular so cape cod. The tables were great outside and once you order they seat you and serve you fairly quick. read more

This is a top notch, seafood restaurant. There is plenty of parking, outdoor ,and the restaurant is right by the water. There were long lines waiting to get in, but the lines moved quickly. I ordered a whole lobster, and it was excellent. They also provided a cracker without needing to pay an extra deposit. The only aspect I found weird was the lobster was placed on the bed of french fries. This made them a bit soggy. read more

Cash only. Plenty of seating but also long lines. We got here around 6:15pm on Monday and waited about 30 mins, and then maybe another 15 min for the food to come out. BYOB. For the 4 of us, we ordered: - Garden salad with swordfish tips: even though marinated, the swordfish was still pretty dense. The grilled nature added an interesting flavor but I'd skip this next time. - the lobster salad roll was decent, but skippable. The fries were great though, I just wish it was hotter. The coleslaw was good and overflowing. - the fisherman's platter: the haddock was the best thing here! Tender and crisp. The other seafood was good too, but the haddock really stood out. I just wish it was hotter. read more

Great atmosphere, very slow ordering process. Ordered tuna sandwich and was very disappointed. Cole slaw was awful. Tuna was simply a slab of tuna on a roll. It was overcooked. read more

Season opening day at Sesuit Harbor Café in Dennis, overlooking the north side marina. We enjoyed our first lobster rolls of the season, and everything tasted fresh. The lobster salad portion wasn't as generous as in years past, but it was delicious. The coleslaw and fries that accompany the lobster were great, too. A bit more salt and acidity in the lobster salad and the coleslaw would make it even better. It was a festive, beautiful day, enhanced by our BYOB brut rosé champers. Cheers to another great summer at Sesuit. read more

Had a great lunch on an early fall weekday. Food quality is excellent and the service is friendly. I actually went with a burger, prepared to perfection with hot fries. Little tricky eating outside with the seagulls lurking. read more

Best seafood joint on the cape. Line can be long. BYOB so don't forget your favorite beverage

Went midweek and it was amazing!! Best Lobster Roll I have ever had. I can't wait to return in 2026. read more

Great food. But maybe have the parking lot folks tell the customer to expect a $50 ticket when they send you to overflow parking lot. Nothing like spending $300 on grab and go dinner to come out to a $50 FU ticket. Seems like a clear money grab between the town and Cafe...must have been 30 cars ticketed leaving there, have fun, seems like they know what they are doing. read more

Great seafood and burgers, plus they have sprinkle cake that is amazing! always busy and definitely worth a visit! read more

Vibes were incredible sitting outside by the water for lunch in early October. Must try: lobster bisque (more stock-based than creamy), fish and chips was my favorite of the meal, lobster crab cake was also unique and just delicious. Recommend going before noon as the line gets very long. Service was fast. Definitely will be going back! read more

Tasty seafood. Nice harbor ambience. It's expensive though and cash only which is seriously so annoying. Just add three percent to credit cards if the money is so tight on the restaurant end. Female staff seemed really stressed by the idiotic system of searching to find people for their orders. Male staff run the parking lot and garbage removal. It literally runs down those lines. Not sure who owns this place but better systems would make everything run smoother from a guest standpoint and the staff would have a much easier time of doing their jobs. read more

Best scallops I've ever had, holy hell. Over priced for sure but totally worth it I'd eat two of em

This place has always been a favorite for my family. While it can get crowded and both lines and parking can be challenging, the wait is worth it! The lobster roll is expensive but known as the best for a reason. The service tends to be relatively quick after your order is placed as well. There's plenty of seating by the water but I recommend getting there early to save some stress with parking and wait times. The ambiance is very chill and it's BYOB for any alcohol. read more

The lobster roll was phenomenal! Cash only but there is an ATM inside. Wishing prices were listed on their website to have made a more informed decision prior to getting up to the counter to order. Regardless, this is such a great seafood spot on the water - a classic Cape Cod outdoor dining experience. read more

This is absolutely the best place to get a lobster roll, clam chowder, whole belly clams, quahogs, and perfect perfectly cooked scallops. I never make my way through all of the fries they're always hot and fresh though, the coleslaw is also definitely worth eating. We love this place, and make a trip here every year we come to the Cape... it's a must if you want the best lobster roll of your life. You can definitely split one - It's more than enough for two people to share. BYOB, so bring a couple of your favorite drinks. The staff keeps the line moving, like a well oiled machine, and I recommend going in the evening to watch the sunset - the perfect way to end the day! There is plenty of seating, even though it's often packed, the wait for a seat is never too long. read more

A step above the average cape clam shack, with a varied menu of good offerings. Their fries have an extra crispy thing going on and the fish in the fish and chips is a proper filet, not the weird nuggets that some places are resorting to. Yes the lines get long and finding parking can be a little scary, but they move things along. Find a table by the water and people watch while you eat. read more

When we looked at this restaurant online, it indicated it was closed. We drove there anyway to see the area and thankfully, the cafe was open. We had lobster rolls and clam chowder. The lobster rolls were stuffed to overflowing with lobster! However good we thought the lobster rolls were, the clam chowder topped it all!! It was seasoned perfectly and piping hot - great for a cool day in May. You sit outside on picnic tables among all the dry dock boats which was a fun setting. It's important to note that the cafe is cash only but there is an ATM onsite. Great restaurant!! read more

Was a great find. Came 45 minutes before close, expected a very long line, thankfully wasn't that busy. Waited maybe 5 minutes to order, grabbed a table without a problem. And the food came a few minutes later. The food was very good. I'm not going to break this one down, as everyone was happy with what they ordered. Food was cooked well, seasoned, and portions were good. No complaints, would come back. Cash only! read more

Hands down, the best lobster roll on the Cape! We have been coming here for the last 6 years to finish our trip in style. Always saving the best for last. The lobster roll is perfection; fresh, rich, creamy, but not overly mayonnaise-d. Their fries are divine. And of course, we love to stop and grab a plate of briny oysters at the raw bar. The seating is very quintessential Cape Cod, cute covered picnic tables overlooking the water. It's fun to watch boats come in while enjoying your meal. The service is great as well, as the staff quickly brings your food out after ordering, so there isn't much time spent waiting. read more

Came here on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend around lunchtime. Very long line, but worth the wait for this cash only establishment. It took about 20 minutes to put in our food order and it came out shortly thereafter. We also went to the raw bar to order soups which they poured for us right there. The clam chowder was scalding hot, but delicious. The lobster bisque was too thin with no bits of lobster in it so we'll pass on it in the future. We sat outside at the picnic tables and our food came out within 10 minutes of putting our order in it at the counter. Not much to say other than it's delicious fried seafood! Incredibly popular, so expect to wait a while around lunchtime. The interior has a cool fisherman's vibe, but you don't really spend much time in there aside from ordering. read more
