The Chowda House

Food was only average. Clam chowder liquid was thin. My mussels were small and rather dry. Not much flavor. Service was chaotic but my hostess said it was unusual. Lovely outdoor eating area. I would give it a second chance as my host and hostess love the place So I am going to hope my experience was not typical.

We tried the Chowda House tonight and we're very happy and full! 8 months ago our experience would have been zero stars. If you were not happy 8 months ago, give them a try again! Fish and chips are their speciality. The pan seared scallops were the best! The soup was full of flavor and thick. We were very happy!

Went there the other night and was very disappointed. Clam chowder was ok nothing to rave about. My wife ordered fish and chips and they came out not cooked all the way, the batter was still raw under the crisp layer. We told them and they refried the partially eaten pieces to cook them more. I ordered the lobster roll and it was $25 for a hot dog bun. I don't mind spending money on food but thought that was steep for such a small roll. We will not be returning

This restaurant experience was one of the absolute worst ever! We were the only table in the place and the food took at least an hour to come out. The food was totally tasteless and considerably overpriced considering! Please, save your money and frustration! I can not conceive how such poor quality food could possibly take so long to be cooked with one table in the whole restaurant. The server was less than sub par and could care less that we waited so long, never offered refills or even bothered to check on our table. We had to go to the front to ask for our check. Absolutely horrible!!

Way cool Key West outdoor patio hidden in back. Inside main Dining area woody and nautical with window seats and wood tables viewing the train station. Friendly staff, the chef and prep staff even waived! As others have noted the food here is excellent. The Spring Rolls were super fresh, the fish lunch flavorful and well prepared in an authentic waterfront kitchen dining style. Didn't know it was so hip over here a couple blocks from the waterfront. Our server, M, was gracious enough to show us around on a slow day. It is obvious these folks are serious about quality.Another great find in Red Bank. Great eats!
