Sesuit Harbor Cafe is a family owned business in its 26th season in the Northside Marina on Cape Cod Bay. They serve breakfast and lunch daily from 7 – 2:30. You order inside the building, decorated with boat bumpers, that also has lots of souvenirs for sale and then find a spot at one of the many picnic tables out back. They call your number when your order is ready and bring it out to you. Boats are parked nearby and run through the water beside you. It is a cash only place. It was quite popular with a combination of locals and tourists. The food is prepared quickly and they have a number of non-seafood options if you’re so inclined. We wanted to try their lobster roll as well as their whole belly clams. It seemed like slightly less in the toasted bread than yesterday but lettuce was not mixed in. It was mostly large chunks of meat but the mayo melded in some shreds. The flavor was good. Slaw was lightly dressed and fine and the fries were a coated variety. I’d go again cause it’s a pretty place to sit and the food was nicely fresh and tasty.
Set-up
Food
The World Famous Lobster Roll($37.38) is their signature lobster salad on a grilled hot dog bun with lettuce and served with fries and slaw. It was a good rendition.
Whole belly clams ($23.36) are not the “Howard Johnson clams” we grew up eating. They have the belly attached and these had been nicely purged so there wasn’t the grit in them that I’ve had on less well prepared ones. They definitely have a stronger flavor and I found the accompanying tartar sauce covered it up – not sure this was good. It was a nice fryer coating and if these are your taste this was a well done version.
Onion rings ($9.35) were freshly made and delicious. The onion adhered nicely to the light coating and retained its sweet flavor. I’d get these again in a heartbeat.
