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

Fantastic food and atmosphere!! Great place to meet up with friends or meet new people.

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 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

Pleasantly surprised at the easy parking (kid on a very tall platform scouts one out for you) an how quick the line went. Found a place to sit no problem. Lob Caesar salad was one pf the best this summer despite how crowded the cape is now! Price? 54$. and worth every penny. It's too bad about Encore because the food is so good here. BRAVO JC. read more

BYOB. We missed that!! It's a little chaotic trying to figure out what to order where, but once we figured it out it all was right in the world. Food was d'lish. Atmosphere spot on. read more

They refused to serve me tapwater saying it was because they didn't have a filter. However, that is the same tapwater they use to wash the salad ingredients. It seems to me They just want to force you into buying a drink. There is nothing wrong with the water in Harwich. I checked with the health department .additionally, even though it is a place where you stand up to order, they charge an automatic 15% service charge which they call a delivery fee.. 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

Sesuit Harbor Cafe - Whole boiled lobster - Seafood Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

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

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

Whoa I love coleslaw. And these guys love simple celery and celery seed. Lots of lobster in these sandwiches. Make the trip if you can get there for a less busy time. It's great fun to watch the boats too. Really cool decor! CASH ONLY read more

Sesuit Harbor Cafe - Yes. This is a #1 best lobster roll. Fries weren't better than Moby dicks. Cole slaw bangs. - Seafood Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

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

Parking can be a pain at peak hours but it's so worth it. Great lobster rolls, steamers, oysters. Outdoor picnic tables were plentiful with shade umbrellas. The teens that work here are friendly and efficient. Fav lunch place by far in cape cod. 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

Went for a lobster before the summer crowds arrive and my lobster was over cooked and dry. Very disappointed.

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

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

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

WARNING: HIDDEN SIGNS AND SNEAKY CUSTOMER SERVICE. Watch your food closely because the seagulls here will steal it the second you look away. The real problem isn't the birds--it's how the restaurant treats you when it happens. There are ZERO warnings on the tables telling you to protect your food or not to leave it unattended. When a bird grabbed my meal while I went to get paper towels, the staff refused to help. A young worker literally pulled out a hidden warning sign from behind the counter, pointed at it, and demanded $50 to replace the stolen food. Right after it happened to me, I watched it happen to another customer. The cafe knows this is a constant issue, but instead of putting big, clear signs on the tables to protect their guests, they keep the warnings hidden so they can charge you double. Do better, and put signs on the tables 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

Casual seafood restaurant located on the marina. So there are nice water views. One important note is they only accept cash. We ate dinner there and had the lobster Savannah and fried scallops. Both were pretty good. You order and pay at the inside counter and they bring your food out to you. Outside seating only. 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

This place is a hidden gem. The food is delicious!! People come for miles and miles to eat here. We drove 40 miles to try it. The food runners are the hardest working people I've seen in a long time. Very cute on the inside with a LOT of outdoor seating. This place gets busy, I mean really busy. Do not get discouraged if you see a long line. They are hustling, so the line goes pretty fast. 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

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

What could be better than fresh seafood, served promptly that you can enjoy while seated outside on picnic tables with a water view? My friend and I enjoyed fried scallops and fried shrimp platters with French fries and a soda. We weren't lucky enough to get a shady spot, but had a nice lunch on a Friday afternoon. This is a CASH only restaurant, and parking is a challenge, so be prepared! read more

I mean... this place is the real deal on all cylinders. Saturday night 6pm - they probably had about 50 bodies in line ready to rock. While a few of us waited in line for the goods, our friends grabbed one of the picnic tables right along the water - GORG. The line probably took us 35-40 mins to get there, but I didn't hate it, a seltzer or two in hand (BYOB) and it was a nice night. Ordered a cold lobster roll, which came with fries and coleslaw $35 - and honestly worth every single penny. While we waited for our meals, probably took 15-20 mins, went to a separate window to get raw bar - quick dozen oysters to split (DELISH) and came with cocktail sauce and horseradish. My friend got a clam chowder and it... WAS IT. Thick, perfect - clam and potato ratio, it was honestly supreme. I'd drive an hour for this chowder. Then finally, the real deal came out. My bun and fries were a bit cold, but my friends were all hot, and honestly they were pumping out 10 rolls at a time which was impressive. Even with the slightly cold bun and frites this thing was elite. There must've been 3-4 claws in it + at least a full shredded tail - bun was perfectly toasted and a nice piece of fresh lettuce of course. They did everything right. And even the coleslaw was chefs kiss. In my bliss here. Can't wait to come back. read more

Sesuit cafe is a popular lobster roll/seafood Cape Cod spot by the bay which offers amazing beach seafood! You order at a shack and find a spot at a picnic table to enjoy your meal. Notably there is also a raw bar on the other side of the complex which offers different items (like lobster crab cake) with a shorter line. But if you want lobster rolls, make sure to order inside the shack. We ordered the fisherman's platter (deep fried scallop, clams, and fish), lobster rolls, and lobster savannahs. The lobster rolls which were the item sesuit cafe was known for, were super tasty. The lobster was very refreshing and fresh.  The lobster savannah was a new and different experience - think lobster with a ton of seasoning. The sides that came with each order were simply delights - my favorites were the cole slaw and the corn. A great spot for a tasty seafood meal if you are around the area - prices do run a little high - but it's lobster and quality fresh seafood so definitely worth the treat. Definitely brace yourself for a line if you come during busy hours. read more

I've been here twice and have tried the lobster roll with butter on the side and the version with mayo (pictured). Both were mind blowing - hands down the best lobster roll I've ever had! At $33 it's very reasonably priced considering the amount of lobster meat they give you (probably taken from 1 - 1.5 whole lobsters), and if you go to Quincy Market in Boston you'll spend $50 on a roll that's less than half the size. Plus the meat is so fresh. The bun is buttered and the coleslaw is refreshing. The fries are delicious and similar to the ones you'll find at a gyro place - really crispy and crunchy. If you're ever in Dennis you must come here! read more

My very first lobster roll even though I have visited the Cape several times, one of my sons is a local here :) $38 is a bit steep for a sandwich, and the other locals tell me they have gotten small over the last three years, however they also say this is the best lobster roll on the Cape bar none! There is abundant lobster meat to be sure, mixed in with mayo and finely chopped celery. Fries and slaw round out the meal. The tables turn often enough however I did not see one person come out to wipe them down? It sits on the intercostal with boats coming in and out, some gas up here as well which is cool to watch :) BYOB makes the experience a little more fun :)) Lobster rolls are part of the New England experience to be sure. You can trust me, I bought socks for the occasion ;D read more
