We arrived in Harwich a bit early for check-in to our Airbnb so were looking around for a place to grab lunch- this place caught our eye due to a cute patio. So we went for it! We really enjoyed our lunch..I had an Allagash White, my companion a glass of wine. Service was very friendly; she ordered a Southwest chicken salad (gigantic and delicious), I had a tuna sandwich with a side of chowdah (iykyk). All good, a yummy lunch outside on a beautiful day. It is on a busy street, lots of traffic noise but still lovely. read more

Lovely warm and welcoming staff. Just a cozy pub centered on the wooden bar. Salads and sliders were everything you could hope for. Would be regulars if we lived here! read more

Lucky for us this is just a stone's throw away from the Cape Cod riding trail. We stopped in for lunch midday through our bike ride. We sat outside on a nice windy day and loved people-watching. We had a fun server who was super friendly and shared fun stories about her family. The Bangkok salad was my favorite yet we enjoyed all dishes. Seems like a fun place for late nights as well. read more

Had a couple nice apps and pints both inside with the friendly bartender and outside on the patio at this small inviting pub - the first thing you see pulling into Harwich Port on Pleasant Lake Ave. Since it takes forever to turn onto Main Street, might as well go straight instead into The Seal to kick off the cape trip. read more

Prices are expensive but great foods. Cozy place to hang out. Close by is another positive example too read more

We took a few extra days in the area after a recent work trip to Cape Cod. We had to board our pups during the preceding week so as soon as we picked them up, we needed to make up for lost time. We also needed something to eat and this place checked both of those boxes. We arrived during the "breakfast" service. You can order at the counter but to the surprise of the person working there, they also offer table service if you are looking for more of a dining in experience. Despite their thorough menu for other meals, they don't do anything crazy for breakfast. Egg sandwiches on a few types of bread with or without a meat is pretty much the extent of it. I took them up on their egg and cheese sandwich on an english muffin. GF ordered an egg and cheese on an everything bagel with a side of hash browns. The service was excellent, everyone was super nice and took wonderful care of us. They brought out a bowl of water for our pups which was so sweet although they promptly tipped the whole thing over. We sat on their patio which was simultaneously lovely as well as provided exposure to the humid cape cod elements. For something as simple as an egg sandwich, it was quite good. The egg was cooked perfectly and I can be picky about that. GF also goes through frequent love/hate relationships with eggs, mostly the later, and she consumed the entire thing without difficulty. The hash browns were extremely crispy. There was no menu provided for breakfast drinks maybe because most people are more civilized than us so I had to off the cuff this order. GF wanted a bloody mary which they confirmed they could provide so I just went with that. I am also very picky about bloodies and I know I sound like a difficult person at this point but literally the only things I am particularly picky about are eggs and bloody marys so usually I am not this insufferable lmao. I will say that I was very pleased by their BM. At a minimum, I was physically able to drink all of it, but I also enjoyed it which is saying A LOT for me and a restaurant bloody mary. Great experience. We would have returned the next day for lunch but I happened to be wearing the same shirt (running out of shit in my suitcase) and I couldn't bear to show my face like that again. Recommended. read more

Food was great. The host was fantastic; friendly and informative. I think it was either the owner or manager who was passionate and friendly. The music vibe was a 10- club music that was so great. The downfall was the waitress who may have also been the cook. She presented the coconut shrimp app and immediately asked what we wanted for lunch. i asked if she could bring plates yet also had to ask for silverware. Same thing had to be said about waiting for the check. Could be she was just having a tough day. This does matter however.... Also suggest getting another end can/bottle soda but not a deal breaker. read more

The Seal Pub has a good vibe! The staff is professional and welcoming! The BEST FOOD, so delicious!! Outstanding spring rolls with spicy dip! The chicken salad is sensational. Actually, we liked everything we tried. Fun atmosphere and great drinks. read more

I can't say enough about The Seal restaurant in Harwich. The menu was eclectic to say the least. There were a wide variety of salads, sandwiches and dishes to choose from. The service was phenomenal and the portions will have you requesting a doggy bag! Speaking of dogs, they have their own bakery on premises, with homemade dog biscuits. We took some cheesecake and carrot cake home with us because we were too full to partake in dessert. The prices are average for the Cape, but you get your money's worth! They have a full bar with a wide variety of drinks. We'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. My only worry about posting this is that too many people will ruin the quaint ambiance of this establishment. We had nachos, blackened swordfish salad, and the Bangkok chicken salad with peanut sauce. read more

A cute cafe and bar we found after visiting a local lavender farm. The service was friendly and efficient. There was something for everyone in the group. The burger was great, as was the coconut shrimp and vegetarian Thai roll special. The food went too quickly for me to take pictures. read more

We got coffees, lattes and breakfast sandwiches. Everything made right there, even the dog snacks! Yum! There were 5 of us and we all enjoyed our orders. read more

This review is based off breakfast! We enjoyed our meal at the seal pub and cafe. We came in one morning for a breakfast stop and it was delicious! We both got iced coffee that was strong and well done. Recommend trying the breakfast sandwhich with a Portuguese roll- it's incredible. Cute spot and you can sit outside! read more

The Seal is so many things to many guests. Excellent and varied food offerings along with some predictable favorites. They serve long hours and pretty much the whole menu. Excellent drinks and nice selection of cocktails not just beer,wine and Non-alcohol choices. The owners are often present and divide their time across the 6:00 AM to late night closing. Fun music broadcasting of sports, music and holiday events . read more

We pulled in and were able to be seated right away. We sat outside , very cute place. I had the hamburger and my husband had the steak and cheese. Both were excellent! I will be back. read more

Loud inside, patrons and staff. Food prices too high for what you get. Menu offerings are rather limited.

It's really hard to ruin a breakfast sandwich. But they managed. Especially when that's all they make for breakfast. Parts were overcooked and parts were cold and uncooked!!!!! And it was over priced. $40 for 2 breakfast sandwiches and 2 cups of coffee. read more

Had the absolute best pizza and waitress! She was the younger dark haired lady!!! So so so upbeat. The salads are HUGE! So even a dinner salad can be split! I always judge a place on their ranch, being from Texas... they have great ranch Burger was cooked perfectly! read more

Bit disappointed. Realized the waitress did not ask me how I want my burger cooked, I asked her if I could have medium rare, she said she would communicate this to the chef, and later said that she indeed did communicate this to the chef. Despite her best efforts, the burger was well done! Exchange was not done or even offered when I told her about this. The fries were delicious and thought the burger tasted pretty good although overcooked. The waitress said hamburgers are generally cooked well done here. So, so so. I was hoping to be able to recommend this place to my summer guests but I was not that impressed Was surprised to find little seating, nice full scale bar with some good music & friendly staff. Had choice of two tall tables, ours was wobbly. Also the meal took a long time to arrive, but at least it wasn't cold. read more

Cute place on Main Street. Imaginative menu. tasty food. Good service. Reasonable prices. Good drinks.

Wish I could keep this place a secret! Loved the atmosphere and the service here was so amazing. I ordered the chicken sliders - pizza- onion soup, and Thai wings. All were delicious. My favorite were the sliders, very filling came with fries and came on brioche buns! YUMMY. I did think the onion soup was pricey for what is it (onions and broth) however it was a large size to share ! Plus it's the cape so it's expected to be higher prices. I can't wait to go back and my dog loved it she's going to be expecting another piece of bacon when she comes back. It's always so hard finding dog friendly places. read more

Stopped in for lunch today and sat outside on the deck to enjoy the great weather. was acknowledged and seated promptly. They only have high top tables so don't expect to find regular seating. Menu isn't large but offers a good selections of breakfast, appetizers, sandwiches, and full entree options. We ordered the French onion soup and the fish and chips. Good selection of specialty drinks available but we opted for soft drinks. They were pretty busy so it took a little while for the food to arrive but the wait was well worth it. Expecting a medium crock of the soup we were surprised to see very large crocs of soup with cheese flowing over the edges covering two thick slices of bread with plenty of onions and a flavorful broth. The soup was boiling hot and our fish and chips were ready a few minutes later so we put the soup aside knowing it needed to cool down so that we could safely eat and enjoy it. The fish dish included two large pieces of lightly breaded fish and a very large portion of fries. The breading in the fish was very light and crispy and was perfect for the flaky fish. A side of tartar sauce was included along with lemon. We thoroughly enjoyed the fish given its light flaky texture. I did find a few fries that were barely cooked but overlooked that given how well the fish was cooked. We devoured the fish and went back to the soup which by this time cooled down but was still hot enough that we still needed to take time eating it. The broth didn't have a great depth of flavor but it was still quite enjoyable. The onions were cooked very well. We were glad that we took a chance and stopped in and we may make a return trip to try some of their other menu items such as their Philly cheese steak sandwich which looked interesting. All in all a good meal. read more

First time staying in Harwich and saw this new restaurant is right down the street from our AirBnB! We came for a quick breakfast at their cafe and everything was phenomenal. They are dog friendly on the patio too! We started with coffee & cold brew which were really good! I ordered the quiche of the day which happened to be bacon, cheddar, onion and spinach....YUM. It was incredible. The husband ordered a cinnamon roll that was the size of his head and topped with a heaping scoop of homemade cream cheese frosting. Highly recommend and awesome staff who was so friendly to these out of towners! read more

I'm very sorry seal pub I wanted to like this, but the pizza was not good. Very dry you couldn't taste the tomato sauce. It was kind of on the level of high school cafeteria. Pizza. I never leave bad reviews but for $25 I won't be getting this again. read more

Our only complaint about the Seal Pub and Café is that there aren't isn't enough seating! They have a beautiful bar inside but they were no chairs. They have adorable pub tables with umbrellas outside but barely enough chairs for our party of three. Once seated, we enjoyed bloody Mary's which were excellent. Our server was awesome. Super friendly and always checking on us. We enjoyed a beet salad, chicken salad and a cheese pizza. The salads were plentiful, fresh and delicious. The pizza was ok. read more

Love everything about the Seal Pub and Cafe! Got their breakfast both mornings we were on the Cape. Fresh bakery items, cooked excellently. The waitress was pleasant, friendly, and good at conversation. The whole place was cute and worth a visit! The only thing that set it at a 4 star is I thought the coffee menu was limited, but it may just not be their speciality. read more

Hello all Cape Codders, I am a bar and restaurant fanatic. Hands down this place has the BEST FOOD AND DRINK and that is no B.S . Like the chowder and EVERYTHING ON the menu is made from scratch. Such a hidden gem. My very favorite and PLUS they have breakfast and incredible bloody marys starting at 6am. I challenge anyone to find its equal. Owners are hands on and they have a great staff Frankly I didnt want to put this review on because my own greedy self always wants an open bar stool! But the right thing to do is review and post. 5 stars and I will challenge any local pub if they think they have it better! David G. read more

Delicious food. Not many tables. Service was good. We went 2x over vacation because we needed some non- seafood. Great place.

We enjoyed stopping by here during our stay at Ocean Edge. My family and I ate outside. There is no kids menu, but they still enjoyed the wings and pizza. The beer was a little flat which was a bummer which was surprising. I had a tuna sandwich which was good. The service was very nice. This is an average place. read more

Not a lot to say here, but the food was good (burger and fries). Service was good (friendly, attentive, and quick). Liked the ambiance as well (chill and clean). read more

First, the food is really, really good! He got the cheese steak and fries and I got an enormous beet and goat cheese salad. Next up, the service is very slow: it took 20 minutes to get water and almost an hour to get our meals. The place wasn't busy, but maybe the hiring shortage is why? Last, lots of noise from the busy interaction right in front: BIG trucks, dump trucks, all of the trucks. Not a big deal, but wanted to note it. read more

Stumbled on this by accident! Such a happy place with the dog! Service atmosphere food all excellent! Homemade Puppy biscuits for the win! Loved it and will be back! read more

I love writing good reviews when a restaurant deserves it. The Seal is one of those reviews. Very nice staff. Actually ate here multiple times the week we were in. Pizza was fine but salads were great. Nachos were fire. Had a small issue with a dish and the owner more than made up for it. Beyond apologetic and super kind. Tip: Sit on patio as inside is loud. Will return. read more

Awesome place. Family dog was greeted with bacon. The food was great with large portions.

Great food and great service. We ate at the Seal Pub two years ago and it was outstanding. We returned and it was just as good. Great outside space and some of the best food we ate on the Cape. read more

The pizza is awesome like seriously as good or better than north end Boston quality . Charred chicken salad was delish. Owner was so friendly and waitstaff was fabulous .

My wife and I stopped in here for dinner late Sunday evening on our visit to the Cape Cod area. We sat at the bar. I unfortunately did not get the bartenders name but he was awesome and extremely entertaining. We had a couple cocktails, fish and chips, and coconut shrimp. The fish and chips was by far the best I have ever had. Lightly breaded, crispy, and flaky on the inside. I certainly recommend this place to anyone in the area. read more

Stuffed quahogs are the best we found. Service was great. Came back a second time on our last night here.

Awesome food great place!!!! We get delivery mostly since Covid and we have never been disappointed!!!!
