We went because it was close to where we stayed. The clam chowder was one of the best I've ever tasted. The salads were fresh, creative and delicious. The fried shrimp were adequate. The desserts were very good but the other option is a terrific home made ice cream place next door. All in all, worth the stop.

A wonderful restaurant and attached tavern. Excellent Cape seafoood in a pleasant atmosphere, with courteous, competent servers. A spot not to be missed on the Kings Highway.

The four of us live within a few miles and are full time residents. We had never been here for dinner- too close to home. We really enjoyed the haddock fish special and steak tips. Excellent food and service. Great local spot with classic Cape Cod atmosphere.

My wife and I dined here this evening, at the conclusion of a search for mid-level dining outside our home environs in Orleans. The main dining room was set off by intermittent walls from the bar and TV, and from the exterior side dining area, which was unoccupied. The main room is cozy, and feels good on an early winter...

Good food and good value, quite small a bit like eating in someone's lounge but made up by the friendly service.

I have been going to the "Chowder House" for over 40 years. In all that time, almost nothing has changed. But sometimes, lack of change is a very good thing. The house goes back to the mid-1800's, the wallpaper to what looks like the 1950's, and the menu is basically unchanged for as long as I can remember. So going... More

The food was great, the server was very friendly!We got many entrees (the autumn salad was delicious, the clam chowder was Cape Cod perfection and the dessert plates were stripped clean by us!)

Charming building, feels historical and quirky. The menu was good on fish, more limited otherwise. Chowder was amazing. We were there in early September and it was quiet...would be more fun if a little more crowded. If you are a seafood person, try it.

They have the best clam chowder & crab cakes we have ever had. Shrimp & oysters also good. A little pricey but worth it. We had a group of six and they would not split our checks up. Since we all had something different we had to figure our own bills. Would have give given a five except for that
