I hit the daily specials, they're all great. Appreciate this safe space for all. Thanks!!

The food was delicious and the service is excellent. The wait for our table was about 5 mins even though they were really busy on a Saturday. We came in November when it was cold outside so we had to wait in the entry way which is really small and I got stuck behind the area where the door swung open so I felt like I was always in the way of customers leaving. The wait for the food was long, but worth it I recommend the clam chowder and the Pork Belly Cubano crispy and packed with flavor without being too salty. read more

Had some dealings at the court house today, and since I was there during lunch, I took the opportunity to finally get into Chowderhead for some of their Smoked Steelhead Chowder. It was so good, I bought a quart to bring home for later. I was admiring all the sandwiches that people around me were enjoying. I look forward to coming back and trying one of their sandwich offerings. Chowder just seemed like the perfect thing today. read more

We were visiting Spokane for a Gonzaga College tour. We stopped here for lunch on our way to the airport. The service was fast and friendly - we were in and out in about 40 minutes. The steelhead chowder was incredible - as was the chopped cheese sandwich. Would highly recommend this place! read more

Best meatball sandwich! The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious! One of the few places left that believe in seasoning their food! read more

ChowderHead - Meatball sandwich and tots! - Soup Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Definitely the best clam chowder I've ever freaking had! The way they give you all the bread all sliced up and grilled up make my heart happier than you can know! (Bread addict here) the sour dough bowl was immaculate! Cuddos to the chef! I will definitely be back with friends! Can't wait to check out there meatball Monday! But honestly don't know how I'm supposed to order anything other than their clam chowder bowl now that I've had it! It's just that good! I'd add pictures, but I got so excited. I ate most of it before I could snap any pictures. Good location with easy street parking. The vibe inside is kinda dive bary in a way I love! Would highly recommend this place and their clam chowder bread bowl! read more

This place has the best clam chowder in town. Their sandies are also top shelf. The place is small but not uncomfortable.

Food: clam chowder was tasty, as was the bread bowl. Pork belly Cuban is their creation, it is not a Cubano, and it was ok. Drinks: be prepared to pay $3 for a can of coke. Yes, for ONE can of coke Service: was good Ambiance: feels like an older diner Parking: on the street, metered parking Idk, we may give it another try. read more

Everything I have ever had there was amazing! The cheese steak included! They bake their own bread.

It's a wild seen, attorneys, police, grungy locals all in one swirl of activity. The food could stand beside any Michelin star restaurant in the world. The tiny bar is briskly pouring drinks and happy hour prices shock even the Scrooge at how reasonable. Parking is a challenge I embrace using creativity. Go, go and love it! read more

Stopped here to check it Chowderhead. The sandwich sign out front said "Good Food" was a misnomer. Part of the ceiling looks as if it's going to fall at any time. The place is small, the music was up really high, so it was hard to speak. Upon being seated we were informed that they were out of a couple of sandwiches. The Clam Chowder tasted as if it came straight out a can, which anyone can get at any store, take home heat up yourself; the Smash burger was a bit overpriced. The staff was on top of keeping the tables clean, but not so much as for customer service. No flatware, no napkins. Above all no parking. read more

Food was really good. Ambiance honestly kinda freaked us out. I'm just really torn on this one.

Food was incredible, even to go. My wife and I got the chicken ceaser sammich and it was phenomenal, the bread was AH-MAZING. She also got the chowder which she said was delicious, and my sister in law had the chicken parm, I think I'm getting that next time. Portions were generous and left us quite full. The actual space is cozy and looks like a place I would love to actually sit down and eat, nice and intimate. The staff was also super helpful and quick, even with my to go order. Will definitely be going back. read more

This spot has one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I've had -- flavorful, fresh, and super satisfying. The Steelhead Chowder is amazing, and the Clam Chowder is just as good. Great food, solid portions, and friendly service. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Delicious variety of chowders. Creative recipes and friendly, welcoming staff. The smoked steelhead was to die for! You can get a generous side of sour dough to accompany your chowder. There is a special everyday. Park on East Mallon because there is limited parking but the chowder is worth walking a block. Besides, is so creamy that the walk will help you burn calories. read more

Chowderhead was pretty good. Very small interior so be prepared to wait for a table during peak times. Food was frankly very nice, but small portions and high price means it's not a great value, more a special treat. This is funny when you're talking about soup, which one typically associates with modest, day-to-day dining, but I digress. Give it a try, you'll probably love it. read more

Amazing food, I got the Cheesesteak with fries and it's the BEST I've EVER had. They have three taps and I had the lager, also great. Super cool staff read more

Best clam chowder in the INW. We have even came and bought a large container for when we do Costco crab legs at home because it just makes the meal so much better. When getting it to go they even give you a cup with all the green goodness to sprinkle on top at home when you serve it. read more

Cheesesteak was the best I've had in years. Way better than chain restaurants. Kids had the breakfast burritos and said they were good. If you're uptight don't go here. It's a cool dive bar kinda joint that plays the rock music on the loud side. We will be back. read more

"Hot Italian Beef wasn,t hot, there was nothing Italian about it, I am assuming from the texture it was beef. In short, it was bland and unappetizing. Chowder was okay, but could have been canned Progresso. Service was good, ambiance was nice. Might give it another shot, but not with what I ordered. Wanted to like it, but couldn't. read more

Always the best! I can only speak to the hot Italian beef and tots, it's all I've ever had. Crusty fresh bread, juicy tender, spicy beef. My husband loves the chowder. They never disappoint. Sit at the bar, you can watch the well-oiled system that is their kitchen, as well as all the great looking food that comes out of it. read more

I'm always stoked to find more flavorful vegetarian options around Spokane. A portobello cap in between two pieces of bread just doesn't satisfy. This week I visited Chowderhead for the first time and ordered the mushroom & lentil sloppy joe. I was SO impressed. There's a ton of flavor in this sandwich from the slightly spicy sauce; I couldn't put it down. While I was expecting the traditional tomato/ketchup base of a sloppy joe, their version was more chili/cumin forward but still very good. It came topped with fried onions which was a nice touch. The tots were well seasoned and perfectly crispy. Wish they were open a little later than 6pm. I'm going back to try the white bean crunchwrap and elote chowder next! read more

ChowderHead - Mushroom & lentil sloppy joe - Soup Near Me - Spokane, Washington

The team took 25 min for my order and let it sit in the window until the fries got cold (I threw them away later). When I went up to the window and asked for it to go because it had taken almost all of my lunch period for the order to get prepared, and then sat there for the rest of it, the super aggressive cook screamed 'Jesus Christ' at me and threw it in to go boxes. The waitress at the front seemed apologetic but also extremely slow and slightly incompetent. She kept asking the cook things and he kept screaming back answers in a WAY TOO LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS VOICE. It was pretty bad vibes. I also got the egg salad sandwich which was really weirdly sweet? Like it tasted like someone had smeared a bit of jelly on it and then put the egg salad. The cook also yelled out to his staff and asked whether the egg salad was a day old or longer...and they assured him only a day...but it was a very classy experience. I am hoping my gut can withstand the experience of eating sweet day old eggs. Mostly, just totally appalled by how rude everyone was there. To management - your screamy chef needs to GO! read more

Amazing and delicious cheesesteak sub with a hot tomato soup that perfectly complements the intricate flavors of the cheesesteak. Wonderful and friendly service with a local diner ambiance. Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Food: 10/10 read more

On my first visit to ChowderHead today, we sampled a few items including the Clam Chowder and the Cheesesteak. We also ordered a side of fries and a local IPA, because you can't spell Spokane without I..P..A. As others have said , the Clam Chowder is excellent. It's a New England style clam chowder with scattered chunks of clam, russet potatoes and a rich creamy chowder broth. There is a hint of bay and a tiny bit of clove I think. Delicious! My only complaint is that an $8 bowl of chowder should be a little more generous. read more

ChowderHead - Clam Chowder what I came here for! - Soup Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Very busy place, wait was short. Food and service were great! We will definitely go again when we are in town.

Came in for a late lunch and wanted light food. I got the avocado toast, the wife got the kimchi fried chicken. The fried chicken was way overdone, almost burnt, and like a slab of dried crumble. The kimchi was alright and the tater tots were good tots. My avocado toast was great. The coffee was just coffee. The waitress was very nice. I got some cookies to go and they were pretty good. read more

Here for the weekend basketball tournament and decided to try something new for Sunday lunch. Reviews seemed great so we hit up Chowder head! This might be my favorite spot in Spokane now. Cup of clam chowder was elite paired with my crispy chicken Caesar sandwich. Service was solid. Also snagged a freshly baked carrot cake for the long drive home to Issaquah and I devoured it within 30 mins. Will definitely come back soon! read more

Our food was exceptionally good. Loved the "my loves" from our waitress. Made us feel so welcome coming from an ol' mate from England. read more

Chowder is tasty and not too heavy. Chunks of steelhead really come through. The kimchi fried chicken with a perfectly cooked egg hits the spot. The yolk melds in perfectly. Service is really lovely too. What a treasure. Thanks for the memorable experience. read more

Wonderful 1st experience and the music on the playlist for the evening made it more enjoyable.

Great food & service. Parking was metered on the street. I couldn't find a dedicated parking lot for the restaurant. We had clam chowder & the Korean fried chicken sandwich. Both were very good. Good sized portions too read more

YUM! Tried this place the other day for lunch and I was impressed. The food was delicious, service was great too. FOOD: I got the meatball sandwich and tomato soup. The meatball sandwich was absolutely fantastic, soft, well seasoned meatballs on house-made bread. No complaints from me. The tomato soup was also delicious, fresh and flavorful. My friend got the pesto grilled cheese and tomato soup and said hers was amazing too. A smidge pricey, however, with current inflation, it's pretty equal with any other Spokane restaurant. SERVICE: the staff was friendly and attentive. AMBIANCE: casual dining environment. My ONLY complaint is the parking sucks, but that's obviously outside of their control, but bring coins to plug meters or be a tech wizard and use the QR code parking thing lol. Overall, great experience and we will be back! read more
