Even better on a beautiful day! A must visit restaurant on each trip to the Cape. Our one non-seafood eater ordered the chicken parm sandwich and was disappointed but you can't blame a seafood shack for this. He needs to broaden his palate! Lobster rolls were amazing - both traditional (mayo) style and CT (butter) style. read more

So FRESH! Obviously you expect fresh seafood on the Cape, but this place makes even the fresh taste fresher! I love the casual atmosphere of the cafe and the seating out on the harbor, very capey! I had the Cape Cod Reuben and it was spectacular! The fish was fresh and fried perfectly and the slaw was crisp and not over dressed! Perfect bite! The fries are always just solid here! I also love the shared tables because you can strike up some wonderful conversations with others! read more

Hands down best lobster roll in cape cod This was the first place we stopped for a lobster roll on our first day in cape cod on the way to Brewster and tried at least 4 more places. None compared. This place have a lot more lobster than roll and very light mayo. Great fries. You can bring your own liquor. They don't serve. Anyway we had to stop one more time before we left cape cod. read more

Sesuit Harbor Cafe - Best lobster roll in cape cod! - Seafood Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

Hands down the best spot on the Cape! Incredible food (had the fried scallop plate for dinner and a breakfast sandwich the next day w homefries..kids got cheeseburgers & husband got a lobster roll and everything was amazing!). The place is kid friendly with highchairs, dog friendly, and incredible views of the harbor and boats going by! Great for a good weather meal with a view, or if you just want to get the food to go and eat it in the car in the rain with a view like we did its still great! Definitely get there early and its cash only but atm on site! read more

The chicken tenders are amazing!! The honey mustard is homemade and to die for. The prices are pretty high but to be expected when it's only open for the summer. It's a must have experience for those visiting! Such a pretty view and amazing food read more

Delicious lobster roll and an equally impressive location. Definitely worth a visit.

Great lobster roll for the price, $22. Everything is fresh and tasty! Scallops were great as well. Fries crispy and coleslaw just enough dressing. read more

Just got around to write, have been there many times. Great location and view, but reasonable expensive for what you get. Go back for the location on the water basically at the Sesuit Harbor. Not open in winter. read more

Great food, beautiful view. They get very busy, but have lots of seating, and move the line and food is served very quickly. Dog friendly. We were even allowed to take the dog in with us to place our order. There was a minor mistake with one person in our party's order but they fixed it and very quickly, and they had their new meal before the rest of us had barely started eating read more

As a long time customer of this establishment I was extremely disappointed at my dinner this evening. As usual, I ordered the infamous lobster roll. The Sesuit Harbor Lobster Roll of the summer of 2021 is not the Sesuit Harbor Lobster Roll of years past. I cannot believe how the quality of the food has deteriorated since my last visit. The roll was not evenly grilled/toasted, the lobster meat was flavorlessly seasoned and rubbery. For how many years was the Sesuit Harbor Lobster Roll Cape Cod's best kept secret. Somehow the tourists to Cape Cod have been lulled into believing that this is the best lobster roll on the Cape. It may be easy to fool those who cross the bridge, but, for those of us who have lived here for years know what a real lobster roll should taste like. Now the Sesuit Harbor Lobster Roll will forever be known as to me as a major disappointment. read more

Visiting family for the weekend and they insisted we stop at Sesuit Harbor Cafe for lobster rolls before we left. She warned us of a long wait that could last up to an hour, but thankfully our wait was under 5 minutes to order! (Just missed the lunch rush I suppose). I ordered their "world famous lobster roll" and it didn't disappoint. Honestly there were such huge pieces of meat , I couldn't believe it. Full claws in the roll. Getting hungry just thinking about it. Classic buttered roll with a slice of tomato and lettuce with just the right amount of mayo. I finished the whole roll with delight but left over half my fries because I was so full from the roll. Also took a nap after hehe. Would I say it's the best I've ever had? For the quality/quantity of the meat and the $23 price, it's up there. Would recommend trying at least once! read more

Sesuit Harbor Cafe - Sesuit Harbor Cafe 's World Famous Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

I wanted to love this place--it was highly recommended by a friend whose food taste I trust. The raw oysters we ordered were delicious--full-bodied and sweet. The lobster roll was also good but some parts of the lobster were overcooked. The worst thing however was the 1.25 lb steamed lobster. It was way overcooked and the meat was tough. I usually love lobster but eating this was a chore. My daughter's hot dog was also way too salty. That said, I like to try to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt--it's possible our experience was a one-off. We also ordered takeout--though I have ordered lobster as takeout before and it was cooked perfectly elsewhere. Its also pretty pricey, so my expectations for food quality at that price point are high. Honestly I would only come back for the raw bar and with the super long lines (PLEASE have a separate line for takeout instead of combining for ordering and pickup for raw bar) that means we probably won't be back. Based on the food I would give it a 3.5 but I know it's difficult during this time and wouldn't want to damage their rating. read more

Great local spot! The famous lobster roll is amazing! Love the view. Quality seafood at a reasonable price. Come during off peak hours or when the weather isn't perfect to avoid the lines - it can get pretty crowded but the staff do a great job of moving orders quickly. read more

Sesuit Harbor Cafe - Lobster roll! All lump lobster - Seafood Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

Stopped by here with a friend to try one of the "famous" lobster rolls. Famous is right! This was BY FAR the tastiest lobster roll I've ever eaten. The lobster roll was chock full of lobster meat and hardly any celery to mask the lack of lobster usually given at other places. The toasted roll also added a buttery flavor to it making the meal literally explode in your mouth. Cannot wait to stop by again! read more

Sesuit Harbor Cafe - Wow! - Seafood Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

Beware.. Lobster roll is 22.95 during dinner, unlike the 16.95 as published online.. and sandwiches (tuna, chicken or otherwise) are not served for dinner .. because its cash only, we came up short. The two stars isn't for the food (check out the reviews), but for the lack of transparency.. read more

This is probably my favorite casual sea food place in Cape Cod! The food is just so fresh, delicious and unpretentious! It's also a BYOB place so you get to bring your favorite wines to enjoy the food with. The views are to die for and the staff is helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they are treated well because they remain awesome despite the high traffic! A must do when am in Cape Cod! read more

Great spot for fried seafood or raw bar selections. Gets very crowded in season so got early or late

Great breakfast spot with outdoor seating waterfront. Fresh baked muffins and scones. We enjoyed the omelettes and egg sandwich today. read more

We were on a day trip to Cape Cod and came to this place because of its high reviews. It turned out to be a little disappointing: the clam chowder is very small but expensive, the whole lobster was over cooked and dry (did not taste fresh). The lobster roll and coleslaw was nice. Overall, an average experience, and I'd recommend going to Maine or Rockport for a better deal. read more

Given that view and the best fried seafood and raw bar to be had on the cape, I am always shocked at how many lifelong Capers have no idea this place exists. Must be the location...off junction of 6A and Route 134 and tucked behind a boatyard, there are still mobs of locals and tourists alike that find this beauty on a nice day. It's byob, the raw bar with local clams, oysters and sashimi tuna is pricy but worth it. Don't waste 6 bucks on a quahog stuffie; no clams, odd thanksgiving flavor to breading. Fried platters of clams, scallops and shrimp plus the huge lobster rolls are the marquee players but the grilled tuna with spicy slaw and steak and cheese should not be underestimated. Over the years as it's expanded its added the usual barrage of tee shirts and sweats to grab more of your money as u stand in line to order but the food, efficient order taking and service, along that view, make it all worth while. Any body who wants fried seafood and goes to one of those shacks in an asphalt lot off 28A doesn't know what they are missing and should hit the GPS or talk to some East Dennis local and find this place read more

Sesuit Harbor Cafe - Fried clams and cold beer with this view is hard to beat - Seafood Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

I love it here. Cant beat the food or the view. My favorite spot to eat outdoors.

What a nice day trip! An hour and a half from boston, awaits a restaurant on an inlet to a yacht club with refreshing breezes on a hot dds ay and great lobster rolls! read more

COVID times- very clean, good distancing , single use wrapped plastics used, still had out self serve beverages like fountain drinks and coffee but looked pretty clean, seating is outside. Not sure if the tables are ever cleaned once they open- didn't see anyone around wiping them down. Food- delicious. My kids ate a lot and have asked to go back. I had blueberry pancakes which were buttery and had tons of fresh blueberries. Eggs were tasty. Atmosphere- there are bunches of picnic tables overlooking the marina and channel. Fun to watch the boats going in and out. read more

If you're going to the Cape you should check out Sesuit Harbor Cafe. Their lobster roll is absolutely packed with fresh lobster meat and a perfect amount of mayo. The place is BYOB and right on the water with a picnic table setup. The only hitch is that a place this great has a lime, and it's cash only but there's an ATM inside. read more

I almost don't want to write a review, because this is my secret spot and I don't like sharing. The. Best. Lobster. Roll. You. Will. Ever. Have. In. Your. Life. You will not have lived if you don't try it. Don't be intimidated by the ridiculous parking situation or the long line -- there is a reason people just suck it up and make it happen. (Line actually moves fast.) It's so adorable whether you come for lunch and bake in the sun or a sunset dinner... bring a checkered table cloth and a picnic basket with your wines. It is a VIBE!!! I straight up wanted to have my rehearsal dinner here and it's literally picnic tables on docks. It's THAT good. Honestly, I would buy a house close by just so I could WALK here everyday and not have to park. Again, that good. Staff is cool -- they keep that line moving and I applaud them. Oh! Also a super cute raw bar window that people love :) One of my favorite places of all time. read more

I don't understand why you guys are not serving the oysters and other raw bar stuff on a bed of ice. It makes no sense

AMAZING LOBSTER ROLLS! They are a bit pricey (almost $23 each) but totally worth it. You get A LOT of fresh lobster on a buttered, toasted bun. It comes with fries and coleslaw. We also got steamers, which were just as fresh and delicious. There is a line typically but it's worth the wait and goes by pretty quick. There are also picnic tables overlooking the marina, which was a nice view. read more

Horrible experience at this seafood cafe/shack. I ordered 2 lobster rolls ($70 cash) one for myself and one for my wife. I sat down at the picnic tables outside. The rolls were brought out and seagulls attacked. The food was directly in front of me and they grabbed lobster off the plates. I chased one away and another attacked. When I complained to the owner his response was he has no control over the seagulls. No replacement or refund offered! The least they lcould have done was warn us !!!Also they could bring out the food with covers to give us a fighting chance. read more

Visiting Sesuit Harbor Cafe has become a summer tradition for us. The lobster roll is outstanding, and you can get it Connecticut style (butter) if you don't like the traditional preparation. The fries that come with it are great. It's cash only, so come prepared (lobster roll $26), and it's also BYOB. Plenty of picnic table seating right on the water. read more

Now that's a good lobster roll! I'm reluctant to label anything as "the best" so I won't do so here, but it is undeniably very, very, very good. Though as good as it is, I might say the atmosphere is my favorite part of SHC! Sure, it was about as perfect a day as summer days get, and the waters and beach were bustling with people and boats alike, and there were empty picnic tables for us, and I had two dogs laying at my feet. Maybe those factors played a role in my enjoyment. The lobster roll did as well. I won't hold back in saying, I love Sesuit Harbor Cafe. And I need to return because there's a whole host of other menu items I need to try, including that raw bar! read more

Sesuit Harbor Cafe - The famed SHC lobster roll. It lived up to the hype. - Seafood Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

The lobster roll here is very good and a huge portion. However I have had equally good lobster rolls elsewhere. That being said, this cafe is all outdoors. Line was long but moved fairly quick and order was served fast. And finally bring cash or they will rob you for a $4 ATM fee. Worth a look once. Tourist trap. read more

Not sure what the hype is about the place, besides the view of the marina (which is super cool). The first time we tried to come here, there was about 300 people in line, so we left and decided to try again when it wasn't so busy. We assumed that since it was so packed it was a good place. So wrong. We made it back last night and came early so we could avoid the long line. There was only about 10 people in line this time. We got up to order and the girl behind the counter was not friendly and made us feel rushed. I ordered a Caesar salad and my mom got a garden salad. She also wanted a cup of chowder but was told she had to order it separate at the raw bar. We found a good spot by the water and sat and waited...and waited...and waited. A good 30+ minutes later we finally got our salads. They were warm, wilted, and not appetizing at all. While picking through my salad trying to find a decent piece of lettuce, I found CHOCOLATE CHIPS on the bottom of my plate!! Seriously? Is the kitchen so unorganized that chocolate chips end up in a salad? While we waited for our disgusting salads, we ordered a cup of clam chowder and half dozen oysters from the raw bar. For $7 you get a tiny serving of chowder. The oysters took about 20 minutes to come out and are served on a paper plate, also tasted a little warm. They are not on ice, and for $16 I would expect them to at least be on ice. The place itself is dirty. Dirty inside and trash everywhere outside. I picked up at least 3 handfuls of trash just walking back and forth to the raw bar. I $50 later we left still hungry. Not sure if we would ever come back. read more

Honestly the food and the view are really good and it's overall a great experience if you can stomach the attitude you'll get from the teenage girls who ring you up and bring you your food. We were there in the late afternoon on 7/21 and after spending well over $300 on seafood for our group the brunette cashier could not hide her general annoyance for the life of her. I think she rolled her eyes about 6 times during our brief interaction. Then we asked for not one but two take out bags from another server as we headed out and you would of thought we asked for all of the cash in the register. Not sure why every girl we encountered that night was so rude and upset to be doing their job lol. read more

I have been waiting 13 years to get my hands on one of these moist lobster rolls and boy was it worth the wait. I took my first bite and I immediately broke down in tears because of how succulent the bun tasted and how fun my taste buds were having. The curly girl at the counter had the most beautiful personality and I immediately fell in love! I will be coming back every single day of my life because it was the freshest piece of lobster that has ever been in my mouth. I got home after and immediately drove back to get another roll because I couldn't stop daydreaming about how tasty it was and I wanted to ask the curly girl on a date. I didn't ask her on a date but I got another roll and it was equally as tasty. If you are ever in Cape Cod you must stop by this great restaurant! read more

Amazing scallop salad with such a beautiful view! It's worth the drive to get there!

Oysters on the half shell were excellent meaty and delicious. Jumbo shrimp out of this world items in the raw bar. My son had a 2 pound lobster that was over cooked by like five minutes but he still enjoyed it except for the claws towards the tip. It was brown and hard from over boiling. But I still give it four stars because of the exceptional raw clams and jumbo shrimp. We got there during peak time and had about a half an hour wait in line. But the raw bar had no wait time at all read more

Way over-rated and needs to get their act together! We ate here in early June. Lucked out on a parking place. The big problem is total disorganization in the ordering process. The line began outside. There was little information that guided us in what we would find inside. As we got closer to the door, we saw signs that cash only is accepted. What we couldn't see clearly was a menu. Almost in the door, the line came to an abrupt halt due to people ahead using the ATM. It's right inside the door! The line takes a diagonal course across the room to the order counter. Servers carrying trays of food from the kitchen to the left of the order counter have to ask to break through the line to deliver food. There was only one order taker and the menu is on the wall behind the counter. It is extensive but not large enough to read until very close to the counter, so orders were held up while people studied the menu, asked questions, and made their decisions. Once at the counter we learned that adding clam chowder, steamers or other appetizers meant we had to get in another line and place a separate order at the bar! Say whaaaa? We expected a wait for food. What we didn't expect was that it wouldn't all come out at the same time. The food was average and expensive for quantity received. We had fried clams, steamers, clam chowder, a lobster roll, and french fries. The batter was too thick and crunchy on the clams and they were overcooked. The steamers were sandy. The fries, lukewarm. The lobster roll was good but not much different from many lobster rolls we tried over our two week stay. Not interested in going back. read more

Been here twice on separate trips to the Cape, about 7 years apart, and Sesuit is still as tasty as I can remember. Fresh Lobster Rolls. We forgot that it was BYOB. My aunt ate with us, and she loves it, and she only lives 5 minutes from Sesuit. Worth the wait. Parking can be a problem, but we paid for a spot,rather than risk getting towed. I regret not getting a t-shirt to remember this place ! read more

My husband and I tried this place during our vacation after a recommendation we received from our hotel. This place is really more of an experience vs. somewhere to go to just grab a bite to eat. You bring your family and friends, some drinks (BYOB) and enjoy good company. People even brought their own chairs and their pets to hang out with them. There is self seating at picnic tables and everything is outside. There's a pretty long wait if you come during prime dinner time. We came at 6pm and didn't actually get our food until 7:30. We waited in line for about 45 minutes and another 40 minutes to actually get our food. We noticed that fried and steamed dishes seem to come out faster. Food: We both got baked cod. The prices were comparable to every other restaurant on the cape. The food was really good - we left feeling full and satisfied. Our side dishes were potato salad and corn on the cob. The potato salad was pretty unique - unlike what we've tasted before, but delish. The stuffing we had in our cod was really good! It was actually on top of the cod vs. inside, which was interesting. We felt like the food was worth the wait. Atmosphere: Great view of the marina - you eat right on the ocean. Pretty fun place to eat and hang out with your family. Extremely crowded, so you'd have to be comfortable with crowds. If you come at the right time you can see the sunset! Pros: True cape cod experience, beautiful place to eat by the marina, great food, fun and unique atmosphere. Cons: Crowded and a long wait, hard to get a seat. Recommendations: Bring your own chairs if you don't want to fight for a table and bring a bottle of wine or a case of beer to enjoy the evening. Expect to wait for a while, bring some solo cups and have a drink while in line to make the most of the experience! It's also cash only - they have an ATM inside if you don't have cash on you. read more

This place is overpriced, overcrowded and overall just a bad eating experience. The food is subpar compared to other seafood joints in the Cape where you can save a few bucks and also avoid the ridiculous crowds. The view is the only good thing about the cafe read more
