Huge fan, we came in before the lunch crowd, and one of the managers saw that we had never been there before so they introduced themselves and kind of showed us the entire menu. It was a really nice experience. The restaurant is clean and inviting. We decided to each get a small soup. I got the clam chowder. My husband got the lobster bisque and we split a roast beef sandwich. It was delicious. The sandwich comes with chips and a pickle, and they brought it out to us to their little outside patio while we waited for it Overall, it was a really pleasant experience and good bang for the buck. We will be back ! read more

Great Lobster Bisque!, we Ho there once ever 7-10 days . Nice staff I. And out quickly. Convenient parking in front .

I found Boston Chowda and the best chowders and soups by chance! The sandwiches are all great, especially their specials, and with a soup are the best tasting at any price or deal. My goto Reuben is piled with meat and the best cheese and sauerkraut and dressing, and I had to try their special chicken sandwiches on next visits. The dining area is small but never seems crowded, and the parking is easy in a big lot. Easy access to the parking from the busy Main Street. read more

Boston Chowda - Great chowder! - Seafood Near Me - North Andover, Massachusetts

Super friendly staff and delicious food! My favorite is the Plymouth Corn Chowder, it's soooo good, I highly recommend. Packed with corn and potato and it travels well, just like all of their soups. The lobster roll is a good price and served cold with mayo. They definitely pack that up - the picture is a 1/4 lb of lobster. The only thing is it's weirdly over seasoned, but overall really yummy read more

I ordered delivery so I can't comment on service or ambiance. I enjoyed my meal. The chowda was really good but I'm not from NE so I don't want to be crucified if I say it's the best in town. I also tried the beef stew and that impressed me. I thought the shepherds pie was just ok. Would I order it again? Maybe. I wouldn't order the fish n chips again though. read more

Stopped by for lunch and enjoyed the different choices of chowder and food. They also have a large selection of ready to eat, pre-made chowders and food. I got the lobster roll meal with a small clam chowder and a lobster bisque bread bowl. Both were delicious. Overall, I love how convenient it was, the cost was reasonable, the food was good quality, would recommend. read more

Flavorful food at very decent price. Came upon this spot when I was in the area, food was ready in 5 min and service was friendly. Quite busy during lunch time, lots of take out. Getting a seat shouldn't be a problem as people rather eat and dash. Food in picture: strip clam roll(come with fries) + small clam chowder. Total $16+ definitely a bargain for the high inflation nowadays. read more

Located in North Andover center. This restaurant specializes in soup and sandwiches. Highly recommend the clam chowder or the lobster bisque. They also have lobster salad rolls and fried fish or chicken. You won't be disappointed. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. Everything on the menu is delicious. You can pick up soups to go. The staff is so nice and patient.

Food is excellent! Variety. From Mac/cheese;pot pies to their soups and sandwiches; fish/fries dishes, corn bread, and cookies. All good. Try their homemade lemonade! You'll fall in love with it too. Service: efficient, friendly, fast depending how crowded it is. They have self serve take out from their frozen prepared meals freezer, or showcase of already prepared soups to also purchase. Ambiance: nothing fancy but decor is simple; cozy, pine wood tables give a feel like your on a fishing wharf eatery. read more

Based on local reviews I had to stop by Boston Chowda and it did not disappoint. Not only were the soups plentiful they also had great flavor. The prices for everything including take home soups were very good and all the food was fresh and delicious. The lobster roll was excellent and the price for everything was very reasonable compared to other places in the area. The take out and take home options were really great. read more

I just left Boston and was heading north. I'm not from the area and was looking for a nice lunch. Well my search led me to Boston Chowda. Boston Chowda has all of these awards! First time here, I want to try their award winning Clam Chowder. They're offering a special 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 soup. I chose a nice wrap, their award-winning clam chowder along with a bag of chips. The soup? Dynamite! It's chock full of local surf clams and hand-cut potatoes. I can see why Boston Chowda is winning awards. I'm sitting outside and enjoying my creamy clam chowder. From the awards winning chowder to the picturesque town, it was a pleasure to dine at Boston Chowda. read more

Boston Chowda - These guys rocked lunch today! Amazing New England Clam Chowder - Seafood Near Me - North Andover, Massachusetts

I think what I love the most about this place is you don't even need to show up and eat in to get good quality. The food is just as great when it's delivered. I took my mom once and it was chill. A neat setting. I was just more impressed, with the food being so hot & fresh after delivery. I order the Clam Strip meal. I would double back and order it again. read more

We have been back a couple of times as a family and both times the food was very good and the service was great I am very happy to report! read more

This is not your fancy restaurant but it is a delicious stop on the chowder trail. Service was not overly friendly but they were busy!

Really enjoyed the soup and 1/2 sandwich. Tried the corn chowda and hubby had the NE clam chowda. Both were great. Nice place for a quick lunch and then back on the road. read more

Back in town and had to get some delicious chowder and salad. As always, excellent food and friendly service. Brought a co-worker and he's now addicted! read more

Delicious food! Hot lobster roll and clam chowder were amazing. My husband had the fish and chips. We actually tried this place twice on our trip and it was the best seafood we ate! We also tried the roast beef which redeemed it for us (don't go to Rizzo's). Overall, very good. read more

As a long islander I know a lil about seafood. But I'll admit when in Boston area you guys are pretty good. This chowda house was great. I happen to be they during lent so everything was extra fresh. Clam and the haddock chowder were delicious. The fried platter were some of the best I've eaten. Fun place to grab a meal. read more

Not sure if it's just the fact that I love seafood and that it's hard to mess up a lobster roll, but this place was one heck of a place to eat before flying out to the west coast again. It's never cheaper to buy lobster, so $17 wasn't bad. The roll wasn't too creamy, it was definitely all about the meat. It seems like half of the roll was one big piece of claw. I left full and happy regardless. The staff was very friendly and it seemed to be like a popular lunch place! Would eat here again for sure. Not the most glamorous photo because they gave it to me to go but oh well, we stayed and ate and it's was nice to have a choice of inside or outside. They did well at meeting social distancing guidelines. It was basically lobster with a side of crispy toast and some greens, I also drenched it in lemon. read more

Boston Chowda - Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - North Andover, Massachusetts

Big portions, food was delicious. Had it delivered so I can't comment on the way in options.

This review is based upon 1 visit only. They could be a 4 or 5 star place but my experience was only 3 stars. I ordered the clam chowda in a bread bowl. The flavor of the chowder was very good, lots of potatoes; but where were the clams? Seriously I think there was only a couple in there. The one that I did notice was soft and perfectly chewy. But that's the only one that was big enough to even notice. The bread was great, soft in the middle, crunchy on the crust. Except for the spillage over the sides that made it soggy. It also then got all over my fingers as I was pulling the bread apart. So, good flavor but a sloppy mess by the end. read more

Food tasted good but at least with delivery, the portions were skimpy. The roast beef sandwich was small and the clam chowder was far less than expected. read more

I have to say having been raised in New England and a voracious consumer of chowder whenever I return for a visit...Boston Chowda has some of the absolute best clam chowder (and lobster rolls!) around. It beats even fancy restaurants for pure clam density. My favorite lunch on the planet is the 1/4 pound lobster roll with clam chowder special. NOTHING beats it. read more

The Staff is very friendly, welcomes you the moment you enter. The Clam Chowder, Lobster Bisque and Lobster Roll are all good and worth a try. read more

Great little place that I discovered on Yelp while visiting the area. My first impression was that this was a good decision for lunch. Boston Chowda has a great menu with lots to choose from the menu. I had the medium chowder which was thick and delicious, with a good balance of clams and finely diced potatoes. Very good. I also had the Lobster Roll and was pleased with the price for being inland and had a generous amount of lobster meat for this Midwesterner. I also observed that the restaurant was very clean. My food safety professional would be instantly impressed and would approve. Lastly, very friendly counter service who helped sell me on the great menu. Thank you. read more

The chowder here is really watered down. Very watery. Chowder is supposed to be creamy and somewhat thick. This is like watered down chowder in a can. Its bad. The chowder isn't like this at the Fanueil Hall location. They also messed up a to go order and they promised to make it right next time. It never happened. The staff is wonderful, the food just isn't that good,unfortunately. It's right next to my office too. What a shame. Michaels Harborside in Newburyport has killer chowder read more

Boston Chowda - Large watery clam chowder - Seafood Near Me - North Andover, Massachusetts

Walked in around 12:30 today and the line was out the door. I waited and it was moving very slow. However, the employees were working hard, hustling, and busting hump. The whole time they were pleasant and never got flustered. And it was busy. They actually stopped taking phone calls in order to take care of the customers in front of them , which i think is excellent customer service. Once i ordered the food came out quickly and was perfect. Kudos to all that work there. read more

Five stars allll the way. We tried lobster rolls all over MA including Neptune Oyster and etc and this was undeniably 100% the best. At least to me. It was great flavor, succulent juicy lobster, dressing just perfect, roll perfect. Drooling thinking about it now. The clam chowder was also amazing. We tried Union Oyster House and this was better. The clam in it fresher. Highly recommend!! read more

Good food and soups are good . Ambiance nothing to brag about but it is more of a take out type of place . Service was good but they don't come to your table you just order and find a seat. read more

Seriously the nicest staff and the best food!! We are from CA and we're dying to get some clam chowder and a lobster roll on our drive up from Boston to New Hampshire. We arrived about 45 minutes before closing and the staff told us to take our time and told us what was most popular. We ordered, sat down and 10 minutes later had THEE BEST LOBSTER ROLL and clam chowder we have ever had. 12/10 recommended!!! read more

Fish and chips are so good, the portions were large. I go with my wife and get one order fish and chips and 1 Vermont corn chowder and she gets clam what there famous for. That works out fine, I see the same guy frying, I think that's key, he does it just right. Very good bargain, sometimes you can get it for 12 bucks on sale. read more
