We had never been to Chowderheads, and decided to go for lunch. This place is great! Friendly service, and absolutely amazing food. I got the cheesesteak while my wife got a cup of clam chowder and some avocado toast. The cheesesteak was really good and the fries it came with were also VERY nice. Clam chowder was full of flavor while being nice and creamy. An unexpected highlight was the avocado toast. The bread is baked locally and freaking amazing!!!! It's a busy, small place that's just fun and very good.

Well, i just gave a 5 star review, which i normally don’t hand out routinely because nothing is perfect. Nonetheless, i will share some opportunities to consider.
Atmosphere is sort of retro, funky bohemian style. Pretty much unchanged since the ruins days. I like it, but it might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
Service model is seat yourself with no reservations accepted. Waiter was prompt and knowledgable. Food came out quickly. It wasn’t busy.
Food. Had the Italian beef. It was excellent, but not close to authentic. They should offer gf bread for people like my wife. They were flexible and put her smash burger on lettuce, which was very good. Tater tots could have used more salt. Fyi they don’t put salt and pepper on the tables. Lastly, i had the smoked steelhead chowder. It was good. Prepared new England style. There is a west coast style chowder using smoked salmon and a Clamato base that i think would be a better used of the smoked steelhead.
In the end, i liked this restaurant and will make a return trip to try some additional dishes.

Like most small restaurants, Chowderhead is very welcoming from the minute you walk in. The Clam Chowder reminds me of the chowder I ate as a child. If you haven't visited, you are missing a great experience

The waitress was incredible. It was beyond busy and the way she navigated/managed the whole front house by herself was a work of art. Tipping culture can be crazy these days but this woman and her team earn every single penny. What a powerhouse. Oh, and the food was fantastic.

The bahn mi and kimchi fried chicken sandwich were bursting with flavor, each bite an explosion of deliciousness. The regular clam chowder was comforting, while the steelhead chowder impressed my partner with its rich taste. The inviting and friendly atmosphere, paired with great music, made the dining experience even more enjoyable.
Busy busy busy lunch, a line out the door. Only one server on and she absolutely wonderful. Funny and fiery just like her red hair. The kitchen staff was friendly and fast. The food was amazing, hot and so much flavor. Can't wait to go back.
I've said it once and I'll say it again "chowderhead, you either love this place or you haven't been there yet" the food is fresh and delicious, the staff service level is second to none the atmosphere is pedestrian and unassuming stop by and get something you will not regret it and you will be back #gotochowderhead

We had a larger group and the waitress did a fantastic job at keeping us informed on when tables were available and we seated as quick as possible. The food was amazing, absolutely will be back!
One of the best places to eat in Spokane! You won’t be disappointed with anything on the menu, but the banh mi sandwich is my favorite.
