We tried this place for the first time hearing good things. After waiting over 10 minutes for our waitress to even get our drink order we ended up just asking for a check and leaving before our main meal got there. We waited over an hour before making that decision. We did get our bowl of chowder which was the only good thing about that place. The crackers that came out with the chowder were stale and the bread that was brought out was hard and old. We had to actually ask for our waitress at least twice and the lady who was feeding people actually got our refills. We decided to leave because not only did it take forever to get anything but people who came in after us were already eating and they were still promising that our food was coming out. As a small token they gave us our main course for free since it was almost ready to go and after getting home and trying it the fish was dry and overcooked and seemed like it had been waiting to get plated for a while. The cook did come out to apologize to us but after everything is said and done we are definitely not going back there. Other people we're having a lot better experience than we did so it may just be a fluke but being our first time we're definitely not going back

One of the best meals I have had in quite some time. Starting with one of the best (if not the best) Clam Chowders I've ever had, then continuing with absolutely THE best Fried Scallops I've ever had. The scallops were lightly battered, and fried apparently with a very low fat oil, sealing in the flavor. They were almost a melt in your mouth type delicacy. Topped off by an excellent slice of Carrot Cake with coffee. Absolutely WILL be back, and absolutely recommend to all.

Easily accessible, located at the end of the strip mall. The food is reasonably priced and very, very good. Busy popular place is crowded on Fridays, and some people bring lawn chairs to sit outside to await their table. Our server was very helpful, when asked for suggestions she was a big help. She was patient with our several added requests. We have dined there three times this week already. The creamy clam chowder is especially good. The clams, calamari are great, and their desserts not only look good but taste great. Most places seem to make pretty desserts with inferior ingredients as cheaply as possible. So when you put garbage in then you get garbage out. I had stopped ordering desserts as this seemed to be a standard practice. FEARLESSLY, order desserts every visit to the Chowder House and your tastebuds will thank you. They have a good selection, superior quality, generous portions, pies, cakes, cobblers and large cookies. I order extra to take home! Between dining at the Chowder House and at Los Chicos, the greatest mexican food restaurant, we never have to leave town for a great meal!

Wonderful waitress, exceptional haddock, will definitely return

The food is excellent. The atmosphere is wonderful. And the service is outstanding. What more could anyone ask for. I bring in a crowd of 15 to 20 people every month and they all love it.
