  1. Sysco chowder The Squire serves deserves no mention at all ever.

  2. I would strongly recommend the chowder at the Portside Restaurahnt on North Street in Hyannis.

  3. Austin Smith says

    Keep driving on Rt 6 … Lobster Pot in Provincetown !

  4. chowder at the squire thats a joke

  5. A. Gorelick says

    Please ask your advertisers to indicate if they are accessible for people with wheelchairs (parking, entrance, bathrooms). A simple wheelchair logo will do–we all want to spend our money!!!!

  6. Jan Rushton says

    What about crabapple in Falmouth? We tried 6 others in the local area and keep going back to the crabapples on rt 28. Try it. You will be amazed at the fish chowder. Clams have little taste .switch over……….

  7. Sadly I must say Arnolds Chowder reminds me of the chowder that was once served in a chain restaurant called the Seafood Shanty which has since closed . They boasted about their ‘chowda’ which was a pre-made soup delivered to the restaurants in plastic bags and the restaurant would add cream to this base in a bag…the clams were far and few in-between and lacked the taste of what a chowder should have. Lobster Pot in Provincetown has trumped anything I have tasted so far and I would love to hear about other location near Eastham that are comparable to the LP.

  8. The Silver Lounge in Falmouth should be on that list! Best chowder around!
