Halibut fish and chips are phenomenal. Tartar sauce is creamy and delicious. Curly fries are a great new item to offer as a side. Coleslaw could be a little more saucy as it was a little plain. Other than that the service was top notch.

At the prices they charge one would hope for a decent size of coleslaw with the fish & chips, a small solo cup the size of a side of tartar....are you kidding?

Absolutely love the chunky fish battered on site, the thick tasty chowder can match any I have had. I will be back to try the rest of the menu. The staff is friendly and real people. I have been looking for a place like this!

Chowder has way too many potatoes and hardly any clams. Quite a bit of pepper too. Not worth it. Do not know about the rest of the menu. The pay machine is in Chinese. Weird.

I recently dined at The Chowder Stop, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a charming nautical theme that sets the perfect mood for enjoying some of the best seafood around.
The star of the show, of course, is the chowder. It’s rich, creamy, and packed with fresh ingredients that burst with flavor. Every spoonful was a delight, and it’s clear that they take pride in the quality of their food. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the portion sizes were generous.
What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making us feel welcome and well cared for throughout our meal.
Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Chowder Stop is a must-visit. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommended!

Subject: The wrong tree!!! The halibut and chips was good, nice and hot. The side of chowder came in a to go paper cup with a lid. It was barely warm. I took it back up to the counter(they don't have servers) and told them it wasn't hot, just wanting it warmed up in the microwave. The cashier turned around and and handed it to another worker in the kitchen who started loudly ranting, saying it was 130 degrees and very rudely stated that it is plenty hot. Then slapped a ladle of soup from the pot, put a lid on it and said "hope this is hot enough for you". All this happened with other customers behind me and it was way out of control. I took the soup and it was still barely warm. As I was leaving I tried to tell the manager about his staff being rude. His answer was, "you are barking up the wrong tree, cause all these workers are my kids". He turned and walked away. I felt very disrespected. In my generation, the customer is king and should feel like you want their business. I guess you know I won't be going back.

If you love well made sea food you need to make a point of stopping in before they leave in October. Prices are on the spendy side but the quality of food is worth it.

Would love to have tried it, Google says it should be open. The sign out front says 12-7, but at 12:30 on a Wednesday there is no one here. There are a bunch of people outside waiting like they expected it to be open.

Parking: You are ok to park on the street shoulder across from the entrance, but you are better off heading 100 ft towards the beach and parking there.
