2nd visit in less than a week. That's how much we loved it the first time. Last night we sat outside and Desiree was our server. She was attentive but not intrusive. We started with 6 blue point oysters which were fresh & briny. The accompanying cocktail sauce and horseradish gave a little kick without obliterating the taste of the oysters. We shared the New Hampshire Wedge which is definitely big enough for two. I had the Ipswich clams (again) and a side of corn bread. I was too stuffed for the cornbread so it will be eaten this evening. My husband had scallops with fries & coleslaw. The scallops were beautifully browned and he loved the coleslaw. Another great dining experience. read more

Food The food was okay. Had the shrimp bisque and the fish and chips. Not the best that I have ever had. Service Service was good. Ambiance Not much of an atmosphere. The place closes earlier than we are used to and it felt like the staff was ready for us to leave. read more

Absolutely the worst food I've ever had in my life. I ordered four orders of fried clams figuring they'd have bellies in them, but most of it was all strips. I spoke to the manager. She said too bad obviously I'm never going back there after spending $168 and I would recommend absolutely never going back there for anybody. 12 years ago. It was a great restaurant and obviously they've changed hands. Nutritional supplements I have a complaint in with American Express hopefully we can resolve it that way but there's no way I'm paying $168 for crap. read more

Fantastic. Recommended by many locals. Favorite restaurant since moving to the area earlier this year. Server Desiree was amazing and helpful. Clean place. Cod cooked perfectly. Chowders are amazing. Fries were cook perfectly. read more

Don't let the strip mall location fool you. Chowderheads is an awesome experience with exceptional food. The kitchen is right behind the counter inside and you can smell the delicious meals being prepared. The Lobster Roll is famous for all the right reasons. The chicken for the non-seafood folks was also good. read more

It was my third visit and I will just keep on coming back! There is this server with brown hair she's there every time I go in her name is deseree She's the sweetest lady and is usually there when they open! The entire staff is attentive and on point even if it's busy, I came on Valentine's Day to get a to go order and they had it down! I was very impressed! I definitely have to go get more photos of the food but this place will not disappoint you if you like seafood! I've tried three of their chowder soups and so far I've loved every single one! They all have a different twist on them and all taste really good! I like how the soups always have enough veggies and clams in them it's not just broth! Their soups are really good and I've definitely been telling people about this place! Cheers to my new favorite seafood spot! Definitely glad I found this place! read more

Stopped by this place after a very long day of travel. We were seated quickly and allowed to view the menu with ample time. Food was okay. The clam chowder and the gazpacho were the highlights. Sadly the "market pricing" is pretty wild. Only say this because the following day I went to another establishment and ordered the essentially the same foods and the price was significantly less expensive while also being MP. Overall this is a fun local spot that was very friendly staff. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Couple tables occupied, 2 tvs on, no one seated at bar. Asked if we could sit at the bar and watch the press conference about the recovery of the pilots in Iran. Told by server she'd have to check. As she and another employee discussed, it was obvious what was taking place by their looks back at us and body language. She retuned to tell us, no, they wouldn't put "that" on because, they "weren't going to bring politics in". We left to find a place where we could watch the presser while we ate. Received a snarky "have a nice day ladies" on our way out. Cause they aren't political... read more

Went today for a birthday Lobster Roll lunch, the lobster was good but it was served on a THICK slice of bread. I understand "shrinkflation", however you need to check local competition on the same road that serves it on a ROLL, not a slice of bread that it falls through, and is $15 less. It's a cute open face sandwich but other ls are right, this is not the same place it used to be. read more

Great seafood dinner date night - - - - - - - - December, 2024 Visit My wonderful wife and I were able to visit Palm Beach / West Palm Beach / Riviera Beach in December, the week before Christmas... it was a wonderful trip. One night, while driving around, we discovered Chowder Heads and their wonderful food. We enjoyed: - Rhode Island Clam Chowder - we had never heard of this before; RI Chowder is made with chicken broth, so it's not thick, which is OK because... WOW is the Rhode Island Clam Chowder GOO-OO-OOD! - Half pound of Ipswich steamies / clams - Seared scallops - Blackened shrimp and fries with Old Bay Seasoning - Toasted bread What a great dinner. Thank you, Chowder Heads! ----- ----- ----- read more

Very authentic and well priced. Enjoyed the service and my mom loves the place for their special seafood dishes.

This place has the best clam chowder I have ever eaten in Florida, and I was born and raised in New England. Our server was kind and attentive! I also loved the low-key but very New England feel of the environment. We will be back! read more

Friday nites fish & chips best money you'll spend this week. Choice of Cod or Haddock. The tarter sauce makes your month giggle. Servers were very attentive. Feel's like the ambiance of a New England clam shack. No rush, relaxed. Don't miss this great location US 1 Jupiter. read more

Best Clam Chowder. I always get New England style. I love the oysters raw on the half shell - an every Wednesday treat! Drew is a fabulous friendly cook. Lindsey is precious. Actually the entire staff is exceptionally pleasant and courteous. I recommend this restaurant without reservation - although reservations are a good idea. Anthony M. read more

The food is good quality and the atmosphere nice. Some portions like the fish and chips are generous, but my scallop roll was almost obnoxiously small for the price. The Rhode Island clam chowder was good though I'm still loyal to cream based New England style. Service was off, we were first seated last to have our order taken and served which took about at least 40 mins to get food but it was ok since we enjoyed sitting down to talk and not be rushed out. All in all, it's a good restaurant but just low bang for the buck on the seafood which was disappointing. read more

$43 for a lobster roll was truly shocking and borderline insulting. Not cool to hide behind "mkt price" when you clearly know the cost on any given day. read more

I think they've got some of the best clam cakes and New England clam chowda, I've ever had! I grew up in an Italian restaurant in MA, lived in CT and RI and have had my fill of clam cakes and chowda from all over and theirs is top notch! read more

Ordered to-go. Received the food in perfect timing. Service was great. --New England Clam Chowder (4/5) - Best part of the meal.. has good flavor, potatoes and clam were tender, and it has a strong herb flavor. I've had better in houston though. --Fried Clam Strips (2/5) No flavor at all, even with the tartar sauce you can tell the clams are still bland. The sauce and sprinkling salt and pepper didn't help. -- Lobster Roll (1.5/5) - Always get the cold option. I'm not sure why I chose the hot, but it was mushy and you have to put the Mayo on afterwards. Lobster had a fishy aftertaste. I'm a bit disappointed with the meal overall. Definitely wasn't worth spending 63 dollars. read more

There was only 1 waiter ! His name was Nick and he was great However there was 1 cook, 1 kid seating people and not giving them water Nick was water boy, order taker, table busser and bartender The food was nothing special I had lobster bisque and Caesar salad My husband had clam chowder and the wedge salad Poor man got sat outside and ignored for over 15 minutes... all He got was a menu... he left after 20 Minutes. Overall experience was a bummer read more

Really disappointing Mother's Day experience It started off promising, but once our order was placed, service completely dropped off. We had to ask multiple times for a simple thing, and ended up asking other staff because our waitress was more focused on talking with coworkers and going outside. We also watched our food sit while getting cold. The bigger issue was the food itself. My mom got sick after eating her seafood, and my brother also threw up after his smash burger. We will see if anyone else gets sick. Update: 3 out of 5 ended up sick with food poisoning, experiencing nausea, diarrhea, and fever. My mom's green beans were originally undercooked as well and had to be remade. Highlight was the calm chowder soup. By the end of the it, we just wanted to pay and leave. We didn't ask for anything to be comped and still left a tip despite being unhappy with the experience. What made it worse was being confronted publicly by the waitress about the tip amount in front of other customers while management stood by and allowed it. I understand holidays are busy, but that doesn't excuse poor service, cold food, or customers getting sick. read more

Dissapointing because it presents itself as a New England Lobster Shack Restaurant but doesn't deliver. Lobster Bisque had no lobster, Shrimp Cocktail came out warm, not chilled, Blue Point Oysters were strangely without the briny taste and the corn bread was cardboard. Dessert was also a bust. Plus we thought it was on the water but it's in a parking lot. read more

Many good qualities and some things just okay. Chowder was okay. Flavor great but not enough chowder to potatoes. I had the fried cod special. All the breading came off which is a no-no but the fish was perfectly cooked. The kids were underwhelmed by the French Fries. Great atmosphere and good service read more

3.5 stars for chowder heads. We went for lunch and there were quite a few ppl in there- no one waiting. There is an outside seating area and bar are. No booths are available just tables. There was a table ( a 4top) available but they refused to allow us to sit there bc there were just two of us. We were there over an hour and no one ever came or needed the 4 top. There was only one man cooking so the food took a VERY long time to arrive. We both got soup to start which came out right away- we loved both the red and the white. I got the scallop roll with fries and my husband got the shrimp and lobster scampi - the scampi sauce was very very runny but there was a lot of meat so that was good. They use paper straws( - gross) and they do have beer and wine. read more

The fish fry was absolutely delicious. The conch soup was yummy. Paired with a Sam Adams, it makes for a good meal.

We have not been to this establishment in years, and went back due to good reviews. We were not disappointed, and were impressed by several things. We made a reservation, and our table was ready upon our arrival. The first amazing thing we tried was the clam chowder, it was so full of clams, potatoes, flavor and served at the perfect temperature. The fish and chips special was a bargain that tasted delicious and not too greasy, The lobster chef salad was huge and full of hard boiled eggs, bacon bits, fresh tomatoes, perfectly ripe avocado and lots of fresh lobster. When our server arrived at our table, she introduced herself as Holly, which excited me as she had been mentioned positively in many reviews. She did not disappoint and was even better/friendlier than expected. She knew the menu, prices of all market priced dishes, was professional, friendly, and checked on us several times even though it was a busy Friday night. She even filled my husband's water without being asked several times. Holly should be given a promotion or at least a raise as this was the most pleasant experience we had at a restaurant in several weeks. The one negative thing would be the market price of the lobster roll being $42.99 on the day we were there, which was way too expensive to order. read more

Was heading to a Play at the Jupiter Maltz Theater and stopped in for the first time for dinner. Restaurant is lovely inside and outside seating larger groups inside smaller tables outside. My wife and I had the best Breaded Cod ever for dinner. The breading was light and tender and the Cod just melted away onto the fork fresh and flavorful. The Cole Slaw was amazing as was the cornbread and old bay fries. Our friend had the Ipswich clams and loved them and I had a fresh brewed coffee for dessert. The owner Lyndsay stopped by to check on us and our server Des was also wonderful. Don't pass on the opportunity to visit we're 30 minutes away and certainly plan on coming back often. read more

I would not recommend this place. What could I say. They messed up on everything. They messed up my husband's lunch order, and it was another 15 to 20 minutes until they corrected it. The price of the lobster roll is ridiculous. $133 for lunch for two people. Servers were in the weeds the whole time. Bad energy. Nothing worth going back for it. read more

Chowder Heads - Expensive! - Seafood Near Me - Jupiter, Florida

Came here for dinner and have to say the food was delicious I got the New England clam chowder and traditional cold lobster roll with Cajun fries. The chowder was PACKED with so many clams it was amazing! The lobster roll was always delicious but you can get it three ways - traditional cold mayo based, warm butter or fried. Our waiter was efficient and quick to answer any questions we had. We were a party of 7 (made reservations) and everyone enjoy their food. The prices were reasonable too based on the quality of food we got. Im always willing to spend more for fresh ingredients. I will come back next time I come out to FL! read more

Did take out and everything was accurate and okay. Nothing wowing but not a bad meal.

Food was mediocre. Service was very good. We ate outside so ambiance was good. Cocktail sauce was eh! Definitely will not give them a second chance. My wife liked her salad and she said Balsamic dressing was good. I ordered a shrimp roll and would never order it again. Their roll was not good quality.I actually wanted a lobster roll but they wanted $43 for a sandwich. There is another restaurant near them (Schooners) and their lobster roll was $29. And they use a proper lobster roll. They are definitely NOT dog friendly, even service dogs. read more

Very poor response to inferior take out. Owner made obligatory call back to me and blamed the new person. Never offered an accommodation which I would have refused. A heartfelt apology would have been appropriate. read more

Authentic New England seafood! Casual atmosphere, great service and fairly priced meals, even things marked as market. I had the lobster pie which is basically just chunks of lobster in butter and sherry with breadcrumbs toasted on top served in a cast iron dish. It's delish! Nothing else really to it but delish! Cost $45 (listed as market) and came with two sides. Date had the lobster roll priced as market which came to $35. Side salad is MASSIVE and easily fed two of us. Topped off dinner w homemade Boston creme pie which was fantastic. read more

Chowder Heads - Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Jupiter, Florida

Real authentic New England experience! We stopped in for a quick bite to eat and a taste of home and that's exactly what we got! Location/atmosphere: Right off A1A, this small New England restaurant has all the charm that you'd expect from a New England fish joint. There are 5-2 tops, 4-4 tops, 2 high tops, 1-6 top, 6 bar seats and a few outdoor seats that wrap around the restaurant. Lots of windows, which brighten up the room and the memorabilia is all New England! Very laid back and comfortable atmosphere. Food/Drink: The menu is great, packed with all your New England seafood favorites including shrimp, lobster, crab, scallops, white fish and Ipswich clams, something not easily found outside of MA. We had the blackened grouper sandwich and fried Ipswich clam sandwich with sides of fries, fried onions and pickle. The sandwich was really tasty with great bacon, lettuce and tomato on a toasted bun. The Ipswich sandwich was lightly battered and tender...not chewy, a real pleasant surprise! The table next to us had the fish and chips and oyster roll, both were big hits with the customers, just like our table! They have a great selection of beers in bottle and on tap, plus wines to satisfy everyone's taste. Service: Lindsay was our server, she was very friendly, attentive and helped guide us through the menu. All the other staff was friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. Dessert: they have key lime pie w/ graham cracker crust (made in-house), blueberry crumble, peanut butter pie and of course, Boston cream pie. Overall, this was a great experience and a welcomed addition to the S.FL food scene. I highly recommend to anyone from New England and those that are looking for a laid back, friendly atmosphere with great food and service! Thanks again Lindsay and staff for a great meal, we look forward to seeing you again soon!!! Best of luck and hope you found this review helpful! - Rich and Sue read more

Came here twice in 4 days- blackened scallops are amazing. Cute little Boston themed restaurant with a laid back atmosphere and friendly service. The cobb salad with lobster add on is a very generous portion and the lobster was fantastic. Their maple dressing is awesome. Clam chowder was full of clams and savory. Going to miss those scallops when vacation is over. Lobster is delivered every other day so get them before they are gone read more

Service was Great..Food was outstanding..A little Pricey but after all it is New England Seafood.. A Nice experience..

Absolutely fantastic experience at Chowder Heads! If you're looking for authentic New England seafood in South Florida, this is the place. The clam chowder is rich, creamy, and loaded with flavor -- definitely one of the best I've ever had. I also tried the lobster roll and it was perfect: fresh, buttery, and full of tender lobster meat. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the laid-back coastal vibe makes you feel right at home. A hidden gem in Jupiter -- can't wait to come back!! read more

Clam chowder was good but Lobster Roll and Lobster pie were terrible. They have idea how to prepare lobster and the prices were outrageous.
