    Get the Clam Chowder for sure you won't be sorry! The Lobster Pot Pie is fantastic and I would also give the fisherman's feast the thumbs up! Surely the best place for seafood not on the shoreline!!

    You can't dislike a place that serves a gigantic cooked shrimp with your Bloody Mary! And ohhh, the dinner rolls with the honey glaze, and the scallops, and the lobster, and the........... Heaven!

    Food is hit or miss! The honey glazed bread is amazing!! I love the buttered lobster roll but dislike the clam stripes.

    While it is sad to see that only memories will live on for many patronizing this business soon, there is hope there may be an another Chowder Pot.Food wise, nothing was lukewarm but they're alright.

    Call ahead if you have a large group. They don't take reservations but they said to give them a heads up.

    Best clam chowder... and when you finish your meal you can order it by the pint to take home for tomorrow's dinner for about $10.

    Food is okay. Very long wait to get seated. Of then a very long wait to get a waitress to take our order. Don't think I'll go back. Sorry.
