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

Great place to enjoy an overstuffed lobster roll while looking out at the water and watching the boats go by During peak season try to go at a slightly off time as they do get very busy. And I love the fact that your pup can join you. 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

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

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

**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

Cape Cod resident and we had a mission over the last few years to find the BEST lobster rolls on the entire Cape. Looking no longer as Sesuit is #1! Superb lobster rolls with grilled rolls and fantastic onion rings as well 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

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

Great view & all dining is outdoors so it is pet friendly, seating is on fixed wooden picnic tables so if handicapped maybe bring your own chair. We all shared a fried seafood platter and everything was very fresh. 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

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

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

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

We recently went back to the Sesuit Harbor Cafe. It was a good time to visit - before the peak of the summer. The parking lot was still full of boats not yet back in the water, We have fried scallops and their wonderful lobster roll. Perhaps one of the best lobster rolls on the cape. The onion rings are also great. It's not super cheap, but decent value given the very high quality of the seafood. It is always nice sitting near the harbor. During the summer peak, lines can be quite long too. This and Kate's are my favorite places for fresh seafood rolls and fried seafood. read more

Sesuit Harbor Cafe was the second stop on our seafood tour of the area, after Arnold's. Sesuit is right on a marina, and you need to drive past the marina parking to get to the cafe. Once you park, you'll get in line for the ordering counter, place your order and pay, get your order number, grab condiments and cutlery and napkins, and then sit down at any open table outside. It seems to be all outdoor seating from what I could tell. Then you just sit and wait until you hear your number. Staff come out with trays to the seating area and yell numbers out. They do not have mics or anything so if you're not paying attention or are around loud people you might miss it, so pay attention! This place is cash only! There is an atm near the ordering counter. We got the 1.25lb whole boiled lobster, which comes with butter, cole slaw, and fries, as well as the whole belly clam fried platter, which also comes with cole slaw and fries. It came out in 10-15 minutes which is not bad for how busy they were. They bring out wet wipes, a bib, scoopy things, and a metal lobster cracker (you return this right at the cash register after you're done). The lobster was super fresh, and also good dunked in butter. Takes a bit more work than a lobster roll but probably has more meat for the same price. The claws were awesome. The fries are a huge portion, although a third of them got soggy under the lobster. The cole slaw is pretty average. The fried clam was tasty, although is under quite a bit of breading and you honestly don't really taste the clam. The tartar sauce is great, though, and you'll want to dip your fries in this. This is a really solid seafood stop in the area, don't miss it. read more

First time diner with out-of-state family--how have I never been here in all my years? just because Labor Day is over, we waited in line for about 20 minutes at 6:30pm. I loved the location and the vibe! We ordered lobster rolls and chowder and a kids' fish n chips. These are my new favorite lobster rolls (sorry, Belle Isle, Winthrop, MA). The chowder has great clam flavor and is the perfect thickness. The side order of awesomely thin onion rings was obscenely huge & could feed 8 people (delicious dipped in the dilly tartar sauce). Our baby enjoyed his flaky fish and chips. We didn't know about the BYOB option, so YOU'RE WELCOME! You order fish at the main counter and chowder at the raw bar window. Staff deliver orders to the deck by calling out numbers. We saw a beautiful sunset and several boats chugging by, including The Lobster Roll dinner cruise ship. Cash only. ATM on site. read more

If you are looking for a funky place with really good lobster rolls, this is the place to go. You order at the counter, cash only, and then go find a place to sit at their myriad of outdoor picnic tables. The receipt has number, don't lose it, because that is how your food is brought to you by one of the girls who work there. Cole slaw and fries come with the lobster roll. The lobster roll itself is teaming with fresh lobster. I ate much of mine with the fork because it was just too filled to pick up and eat. Picnic tables and fighting off the seagulls is part of the experience. Expensive but worth it. read more

My friends family who moved here a few years ago recommended this place to us. The lobster roll is what they're known for and it was the best one I've had in the area! Super tasty and decent portion of lobster. The clams were fine and the scallops were great. Onions rings are always good! Chicken tenders were good too. When we ordered the cashier was super friendly and helpful. After asking the kitchen for us, she suggested getting a large plate but splitting half clams half scallops instead of two halves. This was a great idea! The parking was full but the attendants let us park with the boats. There seemed to be an event breaking down but still plenty of seating. There's lovely views of the water and marina to enjoy while eating here. It's BYOB so you can bring a bottle or some cans if you want! It seems like it used to be a little food shack for the marina boats but then expanded into a staple spot. read more

This was a new find for us, despite visiting the cape for years and years. A bit off the beaten path but worth the trip. This is a rustic spot where you order your food, pay (CASH ONLY), and then they bring the food to you outside on a picnic table, so it is a good weather venue only. The menu is fairly limited, but it seems most people come for the lobster rolls. Cold only, no hot lobster rolls but they were very very good. Chock full of lobster meat, light dressing on a toasted bun. About as good as it gets for a cold style lobster roll. Lobster roll came with fries which were also nicely done and cole slaw. Put it on your list, worth seeking out! read more

Great food, but come prepared! This place is a staple in North Dennis, which means it can get very crowded in the summer. It's also beautiful - on the corner between Cold Storage Beach so you can watch the boats come in and out of the marina. And while you're waiting, you can walk in the beach. How to have a good time: Come early and have a team - someone orders hot food, someone grabs a table, and someone orders from the raw bar (which is around the corner and usually has a much shorter line). It's cash only also. They have an ATM but better to come prepared. It's not cheap, but it's also not the most expensive and the quality is top notch. Also, it's BYOB. There is a liquor store just down the street so stop by beforehand. And don't forget to tip the kitchen staff! read more

Sesuit is a great spot to come for your seafood fix! This little seafood shack on the water has plenty of outdoor seating and harbor side views. We came around 5p for dinner to avoid a long line to order. It is cash only so don't forget to bring your bills! I got the seared tuna sandwich, it is a huge piece of tuna and very filling, the garlic mayo makes the whole sandwich. Also got a stuffed quahog because I couldn't help myself and was not disappointed! This place is also BYOB so don't forget your cooler. Bathroom is tiny, only two stalls in a separate small shack so you'll likely have to wait in line. read more

My wife was dreaming - graving for lobster roll and this little shack house hidden in a local harbor did the job! Okay it was expensive $37 per roll and the roll is not a roll but a piece of toasted brioche white bread. But it was a generous portion and delicious. The service is super friendly young and dynamic. The harbor makes it romantic. I ordered some oysters and hot sampler that were also very well executed. We just had a fantastic time. SHC only takes cash so be prepared. This is definitely part of our memories and we plan to be back! read more

[ Background ] Sunday, September 15, 2024 at 11:35 AM Sesuit Harbor Cafe is an unmistakable restaurant heavily decorated with an assortment of fishing equipment and adorned with multiple American flags. Numerous picnic tables with giant umbrellas next to the establishment provide the only seating available. My friends and I arrived for lunch almost right when it opened, so the line wasn't too long, and we were pretty close to the front of the queue (although we still had to wait outside). However, people started trickling in for the lunch rush, and the line quickly grew behind us. Once the line grew shorter, we entered the interior of the restaurant, and I noticed there were shelves stocked with plenty of Sesuit Harbor Cafe apparel available for purchase. The prices were actually pretty affordable, so definitely peruse the clothing selection if you want a memento to remind you of Cape Cod. This restaurant is famous for their lobster rolls and their outdoor seating that provides a great view of the Northside Marina and Cape Cod Bay. Patrons can see boats coming in and out. Be sure to dress appropriately. When we visited, the sun was out, and the weather was nice, but it did get a little windy. Also, be careful of the seagulls since they hungrily eye everybody's food, and make sure to throw out your trash immediately in the trash bins. [ Food ] Online menu link: https://sesuit-harbor-cafe.com/menu/ Of course, I had to order their most famous item: * Lobster roll ($35.51) This order came with a toasted slice of bread topped with fresh lettuce and loaded with the signature cold lobster salad. The online menu says tomatoes are included, but I didn't notice any, so maybe that information is outdated. The coleslaw and fries came on the side; they were good, but nothing exceptional. The lobster roll tasted great with huge chunks of sweet lobster and creaminess from the mayonnaise. I've heard many people can't finish a lobster roll by themself, but it was light work for me. [ Service ] After you finish ordering at the counter, make sure to keep your receipt since an employee will shout out the order number when delivering food to the tables. The restaurant is pretty self-serve. Plates, utensils, napkins, condiments, and to-go containers are located to the right of the register. Water cups are available too. [ Tips ] Sesuit Harbor Cafe is cash-only, and there's an ATM conveniently located inside. If you're eating here with other people when it's busy, it might be smart for one person to save a table with a good view of the water since they fill up quickly while the others wait in line to order. read more

When I came to Cape Cod for a weekend getaway I made it my duty to find a beachside restaurant that served fresh ocean to table seafood. Well my fellow foodies I succeeded in this endeavor and it was everything I hoped it would be. From the beautiful scenery, outdoor seating and long line of hungry guests this had all the makings of a great lunch spot. But of course none of that means anything without the food, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this was some of the best lobster I've had in my life. I'm sure one of these poor guys in the tank ended up being my meal. My friend got the tuna sandwich which as you can tell was a nice thick cut that was seared perfectly on both sides. The food was definitely not cheap, but it made up for it in quality. We did not leave hungry that's for sure. read more

Classic lobster roll shack in Cape Cod-- The good: The lobster roll was good and comes with a side of fries that were delicious! We came here around sunset and really enjoyed the views of the harbor--plenty of picnic table seating outdoors and was also BYOB. The okay: Cash only. Prices pretty standard for lobster rolls in the are. Parking was easy due to the parking guys directing traffic in the marina. The not so great: The lobster bisque and clam chowder were the worst we had while in Cape Cod--sorry! There will be a line on weekends--expect to wait at least 20-40 minutes to place your order. I recommend getting an app at the raw bar if you're super hungry because the line was much shorter! read more
