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.

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.

My husband and I were on our way to Foxwoods Casino on a late Friday afternoon, and we decided to stop somewhere for an early dinner. My husband noticed the billboard for the USS Chowder Pot, and based solely upon that we decided to give it a try. Wow, were we pleasantly surprised! Since we were early (about 5:30pm on... more
