    We had lazy man's lobster casserole, baked stuffed clam appetizer, and clam chowder. Lobster casserole was better than average but drawn butter was missing. Chowder tasted ok but clams and potatoes were scarce. No oyster crackers. Terrible stuffed clams. They were a soggy slop with practically no clams. Oily butter allowed the stuffing to SLIDE out of the clam shells. Despite several flaws, we will try this restaurant again.

    I absolutely was satisfied with the prime rib, stuffed shrimp was tender and delicious. I loved the fried shrimp I could taste a hint of sweetness in the batter. Yummo

    Chowder Pot used to be our favorite spot, was very disappointed. I know we are in the middle of a pandemic, but service was co-workers, and prices are considerably higher than expected. Will not be going back.

    Gail, Thank you for visiting us and taking the time to submit a review. We are not sure what you mean when you say "service was co-workers" ? In regards to prices, a number of items have actually been lowered in price over the last few months as we made changes to our menu. Some items had increases due to cost and availability of product. Sorry to hear that we went from being your favorite spot to not wanting to go back. Hope you give us another chance. Sincerely The Chowder Pot
