Chowder was hot and delicious. But the Fried mushrooms, onion rings and clam cakes were cold. Not our first time with take out there .. . usually everything is nice and hot when we get home.

Gilberts Chowder House Two is the second addition to the Chowder House family. This location has indoor and outdoor seating and the atmosphere inside is similar to a pub. All wood inside with televisions and a bar in the middle. The service is friendly and prompt and the food is low quality and lacks uniqueness including the chowder. If you want a place to get together with your friends and have a drink with mediocre food to accompany, this is your place.My wife and I came for lunch to have some food before we traveled outside the state. We were seated right away and greeted promptly. We were cold and shivering as soon as we got in and we had jackets. They had no heat on even though it was cold outside and we were sat next to an open window. Kudos to the server offering to close the window halfway through the meal. My wife had the clam chowder and fried haddock and I had a chicken sandwich with chips and fried pickles.To be fair, the clam chowder had good flavor however it's not as creamy as they show in the pictures on their website and isn't as white as most other New England clam chowders we've had while traveling. It had a grey, off white, looking color and definitely turned me off, but the wife ate it all. Her fried haddock was cooked well but the batter was falling off as soon as it got to the table and was too thick. The tartar sauce was also not my favorite as it has way too much relish in there and it just tasted like I was eating straight relish.My fried pickles were good... When I took them home and air fried them haha they were cut too thick and the batter used for them wasn't the best either. I think they use the same batter for the fish and pickles? Lastly, my chicken sandwich was okay. The buns could have been more dense because they were going flat as I was eating the sandwich. I think what's missing for this sandwich was a tasty sauce as it was kinda dry and the breading needs changed. It seemed like the breading that should have been used for the pickles. Use the fish batter and fry longer to make it nice and crispy. The sandwich was also served with generic ruffle chips that you can find anywhere and weren't homemade.Overall, seems as though this place is putting little effort into making their food amazing and focusing on just okay food. We were hoping for good things but we would recommend avoiding this place and find better chowder elsewhere.Food - 2 ⭐Atmosphere - 3 ⭐Service - 5 ⭐Overall- 3 ⭐Follow me for more reviews across America ???????Like this review if you found it helpful ?

What an amazing restaurant still to this day.There are two options... either go to the Deli and have them whip you up a sandwich that will change your life or option two is to dine in. Either way, prepare to be shock and awed by great service and even better food!Plus, plenty of great brews on tap.
Eleven of us went to Gilbert's for lunch today. After reading all the negative reviews, I didn't expect too much. OMGOSH, I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone raved about their meals. Chowder were delicious, fried haddock, scallops were cooked to perfection. Best lobster roll I have had in a long time. One waitress did an amazing job and I hope my family showed appreciation! Thank You we will return!!

There was only one waitress for the bar and the floor. She was very efficient, moving about rapidly trying to take care of all guests. I would say she did as good as job as could be expected. Caused slow service. I had the steamers and they were not cleaned well. Was probably the worst I have had this summer out of five different places.

The bartender on Fridays is very rude to patrons. I've never had anyone ever tell me I have to say please in order to have a beer! I will not spend my hard earned money at this place while she is there. The lady next to me related a similar incident which happened to her and her friend with this same bartender. I'm relieved to know it was not me being rude. If this is how they want to run their business then people will eventually take notice and not return.

The food was pricey and Disappointed.Bowl of Clam chowder was ok, consistency was thick but a little too sweet. Homemade Alfredo pasta with grilled chicken wasn’t good, too much sauce, not enough flavor, need more seasoning and the food was cold.Combo platter $32 for a small piece of haddock, six small scallops and fries.Other than that, the waitress was nice and the service was fast

Band playing outside with tables set up. Chill atmosphere inside, able to hear the band inside but not overpowering.First time there got the lobster roll and clam cake. Clam cake was very tastey and reasonably priced. Lobster roll was delicious. Portions were good. My friend got the chicken tender appetizer which had about 6 large tenders.Second time there I got fried pickles and the seafood chowder. Very tastey and filling. My fiance had almost an entire lobster claw in her's. So they don't skimp on the contents of the chowder.Staff was friendly and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend and go back.
