Delicious award winning clam chowder . The wait on weekends can be 25 min when the line is around the block. That just speaks to how good it is. Well worth waiting!

Pam Gilford

If you're with a friend, order a chowder in the bread bowl and the #2 combo (half a crab roll , a cup of chowder , unlimited soda ) - there's more than enough bread and you can share the drink!

Sophia

The New England clam chowder is by far the best chowder I've ever had, try the smoked salmon and seafood bisque if you are a seafood lover. Southwestern chicken corn chowder is also a favorite.

M. Scott

FYI YOU CAN ORDER ONLINE FOR PICKUP AND SKIP THE HUGE LINE . The order is ready in 5 mins and seating is all outside anyways. $9 for small chowder and $30 for full lobster roll .

Bhavana Dhawan

Sampler will allow you to get 4 small chowders of your choice. Two of us shared the sampler and thought it was the perfect proportion. All were amazing but the smoked salmon chowder was my favorite!

Stacy Bo Bacy

All the chowders have great flavor. I would say that the seared scallop and seafood bisque are the best.

Abby Anderson Jones

There will likely be a line , but they are very fast and the chowder is amazing! They have chowder flights and bread bowl are available too!

Allie Caudle

Clam Chowder and Seattle go hand in hand, if you are visiting you must induldge. The moment you lay eyes on Pike Place Chowder in a Bread Bowl , you will be drooling.

Kristen Pyle

The traditional clam chowder is so so so delicious. You won't be disappointed. Get it in the sourdough bread bowl for extra special awesomeness!

Jordyn

Very good chowder ! The line moves a lot faster than it looks, so don't worry about waiting in line . Skip the crab roll though - it's not that great.

Phuong Nguyen

If there's one thing that brings tourists and locals together, it's this clam chowder (in a bread bowl ). There's usually a line , especially on the weekends, so make sure you come early!

Adrienne Liu

Skip the line by going to their website and ordering online first! Pick up at the smaller pick up only store

Bryan Webb

Try the sampler to taste all the varieties of you are only in town for a day. The crab and oyster market chowder was great. All are creamy without being overall heavy or thick.

Lindsay D.

This place is a true gem! Don't be scared by the line - the chowder is worth every minute. The smoked salmon chowder is other worldly! A chowder lovers paradise!

Billy Amp

Seriously the long line is worth the best Chowder and Seafood Bisque I've ever had! Don't forget to try one of their Rolls too!

Grant

The chowder sampler is the way to go. All are good. The NE Clam Chowder has bacon ... It's still good, but it shouldn't have bacon . My 2 pennies.

Chris Nixon

Now I known why they are ranked #1 for chowder ! Find Post Alley and be prepared to wait in line for 30 minutes or more for the best chowder ever!

Nico V.

Check yelp for $2 off the #2 Combo: 1/2 Dungeness crab roll , small chowder , and drink. Also, look for little individual baggies of the bread bowl insides above the utensils. Free bread with your soup !

Meredith Mallory

Must go here! there are so many good chowders but the new england clam chowder is out of this world. Ranked one of the best chowder places in the country !! tucked away in an alley but so worth it.

Marshall Curtis

Don't be scared by the line ,there's a good reason for it. No mistake it's worth the wait. In the world of street food follow the line .

Andrea RD

The lobster (roll) was so fresh; Tender! The chowders are soooo good: seared scallop , seafood bisque , & smoked salmon !

Laura Eilts

The chowder was delicious! I can’t wait to go back. I will stop here every time I visit Seattle!

Eddie Moy

Get the sampler if you can't decide. 4 chowder choices with bread . Then order the biggest size of the one you like the best. Yum.

Marcela Romero

Great option samplers. That way you are going to find your favorite and go back and ask foe the full size yummi!

Loree Ching

Seafood bisque is awesome! If you are not sure, try the sampler and get 4-6 kinds!! They open at 11am. Get there early and stand in line . It’s worth it

_

GET THE SAMPLER!!! Choose 4 different chowders ! Would recommend original New England, southwestern chicken , lobster bisque , and market (special of the day)!

AmateurConcierge

Yep it is really damn good. Both the New England and the market chowder were awesome

Pineapple Froyo

Got the sampler. Such delicate and interesting flavors in the scallop chowder , which was the best of the four!

Kristin W.

had the normal clam chowder . best clam chowder I've ever had. Seattle food holds a special place in my stomach that's FORSURE. will be going back to try almost every type they have!

Karen Peters

Chowder and sourdough bread were a perfect nosh on a chilly day at the market . Get some ginger beer at Rachel's nearby and you have a perfect lunch or snack .

Ryan Waggoner

The line was super long, but it was so worth the wait. Best chowder I've ever had. Seafood bisque .

Alex Tenette

The best chowder ive tasted. Perfectly creamy and tasteful. Id wait till the crowd dies down. But the wait isnt very long

Lindsey S

If you are a first timer (or infrequent visitor), don't choose - get the sampler! All are good but I prefer the bisque and smoked salmon chowder .

Kirill Kukuruza

One hour in the line ? Worth it!!! Clam Chowder is great at this place. Don't take crab roll

Bill Lim

It very much lived up to the hype! The salmon chowder was especially uniquely tasty.

Raul Valle

Top place. As good as word of mouth. Had lobster sandwich , which was fresh and tasty. Chowder is top notch

Sam S

Delicious chowder . You don't need a bread bowl and I don't think they're worth it, but try the salmon chowder . You won't be disappointed.

Sherry Li

The chowder sampler is a great deal. Choose four for $13.95. If they have the clam , oyster , and chorizo , definitely get that one.

Bradley Burgess

Get the flight! Oh and be sure to try the catch of the day. Can’t go wrong with any of the chowders here.

Alyssa B.

Online and skip the line . Delicious bisque, there’s a bread bowl option too.

Eva Liang

You can ask for some sourdough bread slices on the side for free if you want to save a little money instead of getting an entire bread bowl

Ellea Fernando

Forget the rolls and grab the chowder ! They can also ship it anywhere in the States within 2 days.

Laura Pedersen

I've never had clam chowder before and the New England Clam Chowder bread bowl was amazing!!

????Yana F????

The Vegan chowder was delish! Apparently their sandwiches are pretty darn good too!

Allie Caudle

Don't let the line scare you,you need Pike Place Chowder in your life. Try it in a bread bowl for a truly memorable experience.

Sergei S.

New England Clam Chowder is my favorite. Grilled Scallop Chowder is also great.

Mun Shing Cheong

Try the Chowder sampler and the lobster roll . New England Clam Chowder was my fav.

Samantha Smiley

Whatever chowder you pick... You must get in a Sourdough bread bawl! Mmmmm...

Jonathan Smith

Get the sampler and enjoy all of the best! The lobster roll is a great accompaniment.
