Wow, this is EXACTLY what I hope to experience in every place I got to for fresh seafood, outdoor space for large groups, a view of the bay & boats coming & going. Their lobster rolls were voted best in the area & I have to agree with them, plus the serving size is HUGE for what you're getting. Their service was stellar & you do get for what you pay for, you'll have plenty to take home to enjoy later if you can't finish what you ordered. I highly recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

Wow! This spot is AMAZING. It's right on the water and it gets incredibly busy, even on a Thursday at 1:30PM. The parking lot is small, but they have attendants guiding customers to help with the overflow. we ordered the lobster roll (best I've ever had!), and the fish and chips (amazing!). Definitely recommend this spot if you're visiting the cape! read more

Sesuit Harbor Cafe - Lobster roll and fish and chips (kids) - Seafood Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

Sesuit Harbor Cafe continues to be a warmer weather mecca for all Cape goers in search of a legitimate Maine style lobster roll. It's important to know this place is an absolute summer hotspot so be prepared to be strategic...arrive early for onsite parking, have one person wait in line for food, and another member of your party find a seat. Despite the crowd I will say we have never not been able to find seating. This is a completely outdoor eating venue (so open seasonally) with ample robust and clean picnic tables (and umbrellas!). They do have booster seats for younger children and a bountiful supply for paper towels, condiments, and cutlery for chowing down. Seating offers great views of Sesuit Harbor and the boats that launch and refill from the boat yard. Many people also bring their dogs in addition to kids. Be mindful that this is a cash only operation, but they do have an onsite ATM. The prices are steep (~$35 for a lobster roll plus fries), but lobster is becoming increasingly scarce and Cape prices are always higher than main land plus current inflation seems to somewhat justify the cost. They do offer water, juice, and soda, but many people choose to BYOB. As mentioned this is probably the most well regarded ME lobster roll on the Cape and their recipe has been on point and consistent for years. Ample lobster meat (as they should for the $$$) with a balanced blend of mayo and crunch just to highlight the splendor of the seafood encased in a buttery toasted hot dog roll. The fries are pretty standard, but they certainly offer a sizeable portion with an entree and you won't leave hungry. They also have a raw bar, fish and chips as well as other seafood, and chicken tenders/grilled cheese for kiddos or those not as inclined to enjoy the edible splendors of the sea. Any of their dishes are done really well. If you're looking for a great Cape spot for dining and views that includes the whole family Sesuit Harbor is your answer, but be prepared to invest a decent penny in the process and to be patient while you await what is consistently delicious seafood. read more

Great little spot and very authentic Cape Cod. Parking is tricky/limited and cash only which is annoying though delicious seafood and very quick service. Lobster rolls, fish and chips were excellent. Raw bar: oysters and shrimp cocktail were perfect. Tried the lobster bisque and had zero lobster ( not even a shred) though broth was good . read more

This was my first lobster sandwich ever, and it was really good! They stuff the bread with meat, and I mean STUFF IT, which was a little overwhelming for my first time trying it, but after the first few bites I started to really enjoy it. The meat is fresh and sweet, and the fries were perfectly done! read more

The tucked away nature of this restaurant doesn't keep away the crowds. Great water views, delicious food. Looked this place up quickly and headed there on a whim but failed to realize it was 1. Cash only and 2. BYO. Luckily we had just enough cash on hand (though there is an atm) and our meal was fine with a couple of sodas instead of beers. Luckily we were able to snag a table that had perfectly landed in the shade and a high chair for our 2 year old who loved watching the boats during our meal. Food was simple but delicious. Just enough flavor on the lobster roll and generous chunks of meat. Crisp and tasty fish and chips. read more

This place was recommended by a Cape Cod local. Parking is very difficult in this area. We took our food to go, and it was really good. We got the fisherman's platter and lobster roll. I would definitely come here again. read more

as a massachusetts native it's in my blood to know good seafood. this little shack by the marina with nice outdoor seating was fresh and had good portions, and great prices. it tastes like everything was caught and was alive seconds before we had ordered it. fast and speedy team, i don't even like coleslaw but i will eat it here. the tartar sauce is some of the best i have had, could be the capers in it, but it's delicious. easily one of my favorite places to return to year after year on the cape - worth the drive! read more

Great food with a wonderful view of the harbor. Famous for their lobster roll, but the fried seafood items are also wonderful. BYOB is a nice feature. read more

It's a very small take out place in an interesting location near the harbor. But once you find it the first time, it won't be as confusing the next time around. We thought the food tasted good but sadly got sick the next day. We ordered a lobster roll, shrimp plate, fish and chips and more but my husband got serious food poisoning from the shrimp plate and was sick for a whole week. Couldn't eat, stomach cramps the whole nine. Maybe the shrimp was not fresh (it was spoiled) and/or maybe it was due to poor handling. Plus, it didn't help that the server/cashier was on their phone while on the job. Unfortunately, we wouldn't go back there and risk it again despite the very good reviews on Yelp. There are other seafood restaurants around so we won't miss this place at all. read more

1 hour wait in a line the size of a concert entrance, $200 spent in cash with $4 atm fee. $35 per lobster roll. Food is great but prices and lines here are absolutely nuts! Good ambiance by the bay but so stressful to even find parking. They really need to figure out how to scale. Even the 2 bathrooms had huge lines read more

They are really not chip on the lobster it was like a whole lobster in the lobster roll I couldn't even finish it. I can't say it was super tasty lobster in my personal opinion, but the seafood platter was really good. The line is long but moves fast, and they make orders pretty quick. The only thing it is the place is near the water so it's freezing there at night and really dark, people were using their flashlights to see the food... We've parked near so just brought the food in the car instead of freezing in darkness But you can just bring the extra layer of clothes in advance and you'll be alright. read more

The biggest lobster roll in the area! Get there early and bring cash! We went on a Tuesday in July around 12:30 pm and waited in a line out the door for 10 mins. Once inside, we quickly placed our order, got drinks and scoped out a picnic table by the water. Umbrellas were not allowed to be opened due to the breeze. It didn't take too long for our food to be brought out. Everything was delicious! read more

Went around 8pm on a Tuesday, knowing they close at 8:30p-and the line is still super crazy! And for a very good reason. The lobster roll! But to be honest with you, everyone online were also talking about many other menu items. Everyone seemed to be coming back for their favorites. Fabulous LOBSTER rolls....sad to say, very cold fries underneath- decent Cole slaw........another issue is when it gets dark out and most tables are still occupied, the only section available was a very dark section with a flood light in the distance. Really cant see what you are eating most of the time. The BEST part is BYOB, soft drinks, beers, wine....they do sell a few cold soft drinks and have water and cups available for free..............Ketchup in small packets really stinks for ecology and me, who loves a ton of ketchup on my "cold" fries. read more

What a great spot to grab New England staples and sit and enjoy the sea breeze! They're known for their lobster rolls and boy do they not disappoint. When you first get there you stand in line, order and then you're given a number before you then go and find an open table outside. The waitstaff comes around shouting numbers so hang on to your receipt, which has your number on it. I ordered the classic lobster roll, which came with fries and coleslaw for $21.50. The roll was perfectly toasted and lobster was bursting out of it. I loved how lightly the lobster meat was dressed -- it wasn't drowning in mayo, which let the lobster taste shine through! The fries were great as was the coleslaw. I ordered a side of onion rings (my eyes were bigger than my stomach) and they were soggy, so I wouldn't recommend those. It was so nice to eat outside in the gorgeous weather and watch the boats go by. Also, since they don't sell alcohol, you're welcome to bring your own. Nearby tables had bottles of wine and cans of beer. Definitely stop by! read more

CASH ONLY!!! I needed to say that before you continue on. But they do have an ATM on site. Came here after a day on the Cape. Such a lovely place! Food was yummy. I had the fried seafood platter and my fiancé had a lobster roll. We shared a clam chowder that was delicious. Order from the inside, and good luck finding a table! Parking was a bit funny, but there was plenty of it if you drive down towards the place. Overall a great experience. read more

Arguably the best lobster roll I've tasted! The generous heap of lobster meat seemed to triple the size of the roll itself. The fried oysters boasted a meaty freshness, and their fries were a revelation: super crispy and packed with flavor. The entire experience screamed freshness. However, be prepared for a lengthy wait (around 45 minutes post-ordering) and remember, it's cash only. read more

This is a casual place to grab some seafood with a great view. The restaurant is located next to a marina. Parking is tough, but they have guys to direct you. Once parked, you get in line to go inside to order your food and get your drinks. You then go outside, find a picnic table by the water and wait for them to come out with your food. We had two lobster rolls and two sodas and the bill was $80. The lobster rolls were amazing. Cash only and don't forget to tip the parking attendants, the food runners and kitchen staff! We had our dog with us and were grateful for a restaurant we could take her with. We will definitely go back. read more

Fabulous food! Love their lobster rolls and whole belly fried clams. Just sit back near the canal and enjoy Sesuit Harbor.

It was recommended by some locals that we try this place out. It was a final stop of vacation and so happy be went out of our way for it. Oysters Bienville and Oysters Rockefeller were fresh and very tasty. Not a huge oyster guy either but these were excellent. Lobster Roll was the best I had in Cape Cod(tried 3 other places on vacation). Views were beautiful. Order your food, BYOB... sit outside and enjoy. Will def be back next year! read more

My wife and I were in Boston/Cape Cod for the first time for a week, had four lobster rolls at four different places (all highly recommended by local friends), and Sesuit had the best BY FAR. We came here first and we should have come back here three more times. The lobster meat was generous, and so fresh and delicious tasting, and the dressing was perfectly balanced. Even the coleslaw was delicious because of the dressing. We also decided to get the clam chowder and Tuna Sashimi Oysters from the Raw Bar, and both were wonderful. It is cash only, but there's an ATM inside. It's BYOB, so you can bring whatever you'd like to drink. We brought some wine and it was perfect. The tables are all outside, but they have beautiful views of the ocean. We're already planning to come back on our next trip! read more

Consistently the best lobster roll on Cape. Great place for locals and tourists alike. Be prepared to wait during the peak summer season, but with a view like that the wait doesn't feel so bad. Great lobster rolls, potato salad, chowder, fried clams, seared tuna sandwich -- you cannot go wrong. read more

Can't get better than this! Outdoor picnic tables, BYOB, and delicious food. The oysters were the best I've ever had! The lobster roll was fresh. I wasn't a fan of the lobster bisque or the stuff quahog but that's personal taste. Overall you can't complain here!! Bring your cooler and a beautiful bottle of wine or beer and plan on staying a bit. If you're in Dennis, you have to try this place. Here's a tip: find a picnic table 1st, and then order. read more

Sesuit Harbor Cafe - Lobster roll - Seafood Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

Continuing the hunt for the best lobster roll in Cape Cod we've arrived here at the Sesuit Harbor Cafe. It's another place that was recommended to us via word of mouth and it did not disappoint! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set way out of the way and right on the Sesuit Harbor is this gem. It's your typical on-the-harbor seafood restaurant that I'm assuming is only open during the warmer months. There is no indoor seating and it's all outdoor based. You either sit at the picnic tables or under a normal table that are all equipped with rain/sun blocking umbrellas. The only thing you do is wait in line, order your food or order from the raw bar. The view is absolutely gorgeous though. Boats floating on by and the gorgeous landscape are a sight to behold. Service: There isn't any. Well, minimal. You place your order and it's brought out to you by yelling your number and you raising your land. Lol. Simple system that works. Food: Naturally we went with the lobster roll Connecticut style (warm with butter), but they didn't serve the lobster hot. It was still cold, they just gave us warm butter to pour over it... that would congeal if you let it sit long enough. I guess that was okay. Anyway, not really what I was going for, but hey... it was still good and filled with massive chunks of claw meat. It was served with coleslaw all over a chunky potato salad. Quite delicious. We also managed to try their Seared Scallop Salad. Scallop overload. I don't know if someone was heavy-handed back there in the kitchen or what, but we were blessed with close to 20 full-sized scallops. That's unheard of for the price. Sheesh. We definitely appreciated it! They were cooked well and crispy on top. The mildly sweet balsamic vinaigrette went with it so well. Value: Our lobster roll was $22.95 so that's pretty standard rate. Our scallop salad was also $22.95 and for the ridiculous amount of scallops we got, it was totally worth it! Seafood is never cheap... if it's good. In conclusion this was a lovely place to stop through with lovely company on a lovely day. I'm STILL not tired of all the seafood even though that's all we've been eating. Check this place out if you're feeling spendy! OH THE MOST IMPORTANT THING! It's B.Y.O.B.! Bring your own wine or whateva! Woo! read more
