Clam chowder in a bread bowl with a water view at every spot, the best!

White chowder was great! Fried calamari was horrible. My BF and I both left the restaurant with stomachaches.

Clam chowder is always good. Been eating here since 1997 or something. Don't listen to bread guy below.

Love the Clam Chowder Bread Bowl , when I'm full.... I feed the rest of the bread bowl to whatever animal or bird is around.... I know, not suppost too, they just look so hungry! :)

Zak Slayback

Get the fish and chips ! Some of the best you will find. Fluffy, not greasy!

Curtis Shoung

Chowder too creamy, rich. Fried seafood platter was good.

The take out window is about $2-$3 cheaper than dining inside. The Calamari & Fries plate for $7.95 is fabulous! Generous portions .
