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.

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 The online menu says tomatoes are included, but I didn't notice any, so maybe that information is outdated.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.
