The Chowder Bowl

I would not give this place a half Star rating. Disgusting. My husband and I were there last night. Ordered white clam chowder and red clam chowder along with a dozen clam cakes. After waiting 40 minutes, the server brought out my red chowder and clam cakes. She said it was going to be longer for the white chowder. We lost it at that point. Another 10 minutes and his chowder finally came out. By that time I already decided not to eat the dark brown chowder loaded with bay leaves I was served. The white chowder was dark grey. It was cream of mushroom soup doctored up with a few clams. It was amazing how fast our server was when we demanded the check. We asked her to convey a message to the chef...quit, retire, go back to cooking school or find another profession. Honestly, if anyone gives this place a good rating you must be good friends of the owner or you have never gone beyond the boundaries to taste some real clam cakes and chowder. It's not being served here.

I've been going to the C. B. since I was about 4 yrs. old. Went last night with Sandy & Pearl and had a great time. Chowder, clam cakes, baked fish, lobster roll, ice cream all good. I remember the days where you'd have to take a number to be seated and the family would wait for hours. It was kind of quiet last night, that made me sad. Go down and have lunch or dinner at the "Chowder Bowl"!

Thier clam cakes are good, however chowder is not something I would ever try again ( white ) it tasted nothing like white clam chowder. The wait time at the outside window was 25 mins just for cakes and chowder. However like i said the clam cakes were good. Dont know if we will be back. May try one more time and update this rating if better.

I've been there this year. Their red chowder (didn't even try the white) was AWFUL -- it seems they can not find a good recipe and stick with it. This year they served it with RAW potatoes -- when have you EVER had a soup, stew or chowder with raw vegetables? No, it was not an accident because I complained. Their fried food, for the past 3-4 years has been decent -- not super greasy as in past years. I go there a couple times during the season, but never for their chowder.
