We went to the Chowder Pot in November, 2009. The ambience of this restaurant is fantastic but the food isn't. Maybe some of the dishes are good but mine wasn't. I ordered steamed clams that were the cheap quahogs with siphons on them. The quahogs were tough and chewy and I returned them for a fried combination of shrimp/scallops and... more

I'm a new truck driver so i've not had many chances yet to stop along the east coast. The hostess was not exactly what you'd call hospitable but advised me to the bar. The meal was unique to me since I've never actually had my own lobster. The lobster was pre-cracked served upside down with the breading along the abdomen.... more

Worst meal of my entire life. Being forced to give it a 1/5 here is grating it is an F- without question. A 0/5. If it was out of 1000 it would still be 0/1000 the food is that abysmal. The rest of the reviews on this page are made by the owners so be warned, it is impossible to... more

I have been traveling to Foxboro, Mass from Pennsylvania for years. I have always planned to stop on the way back home to have dinner. The lobster is always good but I enjoy the broiled seafood. Plentiful and delicious. I always bring home a few quarts of New England Clam Chowder for my 3 boys. It is rich, creamy and... more

If you like belly clams (or strips), oysters, scallops or all things fried, you've got to go! When available, you can pick your own lobster (up to five pounds) from their tank. You can also get things that aren't fried, but that's their specialty. They make great drinks with a bite, as well. And, if you like gorgonzola cheese, try... more

Based on the reviews on this page, I chose this resturants to take my wife and parents who now live in Branford. I too live in Queens and I can't imagine why anybody would drive two hours for a mediocre seafood restuarant that serves Diner Quality food. I'd give Red Lobster an edge over this place. A seafood restaurant without... more

Exit 56...Great place to stop. I was travelling from Pennsylvania on my way to Warwick for the night on business. After driving for 4 hours, I saw a billboard along I95 for the U.S.S. Chowder Pot and decided to stop for some dinner. The building was nicely landscaped and parking was well lit and plentiful. Once inside, I was greated... more

We just happened to stop in Branford because we found a Holiday Inn Express there and it was time to quit driving. We found it to be a really good choice. It was rather large, with a sports bar and grill area in the front and a dining room with booths in the back. It had a lot of atmosphere.... more
