Chowder Barge, a Long Beach institution, has improved under new management. The exterior and interior are impressive, with friendly and attentive staff. The menu offers good options, including fresh daily clam chowder, served with fried clams on top. The nautical-themed decor is an added touch that makes guests feel like they are on a boat from olde. Located right in the harbor, the restaurant has a nautical vibe full of old-school fisherman grit and plenty of character. The atmosphere is relaxed with chill vibes, perfect for enjoying a cold beer and a meal at a good price. Parking is available in a lot at the marina, and the sign for the restaurant is easy to miss when turning into the driveway, but following it leads directly to the harbor. The clam chowder is one of their highlights, and meals like the Fried Shrimp Boat or chowder burger are highly recommended, with generous portions and flavorful ingredients. Service is attentive and fast, making for a pleasant dining experience despite some minor issues like the beer not being as cold as usual or appetizers arriving after the meals. Overall, Chowder Barge is a great spot to enjoy hearty seafood in a charming, salty setting.
