Every one is having clam-chowder there! But don't worry if your not into it (as I am not), the Fish and Chips there were very good. Made of daily fresh fish filet !

Roderick Jimenez

Must get the shrimp & crab topping for an extra $1.00. On the weekends the line to gets crazy along the whole side of joint!!

Ashley Hembree

This is my fiancé and I favorite restaurant ! We celebrate our anniversaries here or when we want some good food! I love the clam chowder bowls! It's the best around!

Jeff Weinstein

Clam chowder with extra clams on top in a bread bowl . Kick back at a window seat . I'm sure there is better around but who cares, this is it.

Brandon Hoang

Don’t be intimidated by the line snaking around the building — it moves fast and worth the wait. Yes, the chowder is that good

John Ritoli

DEFINITELY get their claim chowder bread bowl . I KNOW for a fact you will NOT be disappointed. You'll keep coming back. Their fish and chips and on.

Frances 미라

Get the clam chowder with krab and lobster topping in a bread bowl but ask for the chowder separately. Enough to split with 1 person and you won't be too full. Thank me later :)

Mary Bryant

Beast clam chowder bread bowls ever. Seafood salad is amazing. Hard to get a seat, but they do take out and delivery .

Clam chowder bowl is a must. I have gone here four times and its always delicious and has tons of clams in the chowder

A little bit of chowder goes a long way. You can save $ by ordering a cup and a loaf instead of getting a bread bowl .

Leah Wasserstrum

Everyone comes for the clam chowder , but I really enjoyed the grilled fish tacos too : )

Trust me: Cup of chowder and a side order of a toasted loaf of bread . Way better than the bowl! Scoop and enjoy!
