    I stopped here for a quick lunch randomly while driving home and found this quaint little shop with amazing flavors! I got the New England clam chowder and the caramelized onion and green apple grilled cheese and they were SO delicious! The chowder was insanely flavorful with generous amounts of everything and the grilled cheese was a perfect balance. The girls at the register are also super friendly and helpful! I wish I lived close enough to go every day!

    Can't say enough about how much I love this place. I ordered the stuffed shrimp. It was absolutely amazing. The taste the texture everything about it!

    This is apparently a steak and cheese for $15!

    Yes, it's a "seafood" restaurant but they offer other items so we ordered the steak and cheese subs thru grubhub, and they were the most disgusting things we've ever seen. We threw them out. The "beef" was jerky, there weren't any mushrooms or onions to be found and only one red pepper, and the cheese was non existent. It was on an 8" sub roll and maybe there was 4" of meat inside-I'm being generous here. Stay away. Had we been there, vs. getting delivery, we would have asked for our money back. That was NASTY!!!

    (Update: burger quite salty, but delicious in any case! I think I'll stick to the chowders here!)

    Stopped in at CT chowder on a whim based off other Yelp reviews. Cute shop more for takeout however there were two tables in corner or sit down. Also looks like there are patio options for warmer temperatures. Walked in placed order sound and sandwich and was ready in timely fashion 15 minutes. Prices seem a little high for sizes however the taste of food was spot on! Would definitely recommend the lobster bisque!

    Connecticut Clam Chowder (made with clams, smoked bacon, veggies, and tomatoes in a pink creamy broth)

    CT Chowder Company is a takeout seafood and sandwich restaurant that opened in North Haven, Connecticut in November 2020. It was founded by partners Chef Steven Allegra and Liz Larocque. The two met when Allegra was hired as a new chef at Jake's Tavern in Wallingford. Eventually they decided to go into busy together and they created their own food truck, Get Stuffed, which first went out on the road in June 2019. The food truck's menu consists of classic American fare such as burgers, lobster rolls, grilled cheese, wraps and salads. Allegra began experimenting with chowders, in particular clam chowder. When it comes to clam chowder, most people choose between New England-style (white and creamy), Manhattan-style (tomato based), or Rhode Island-style (clear broth). Allegra decided to create a "Connecticut-style Clam Chowder" that combined elements of all three. After the new chowder did well on the road, Allegra and Larocque decided to open their own brick-and-mortar location in North Haven. In addition to different chowders, their takeout restaurant also serves lobster rolls, po' boys, burgers, wraps, salads, grilled cheese, and various appetizers. I was first introduced to CT Chowder Company when they catered at a tasting event that I attended. I was so impressed with their food that I told my wife all about them and said we should stop by their location some time. We recently stopped with our sons to get some food to take to a local winery. My wife and I shared some of their signature Clam Chowder (made with clams, smoked bacon, veggies, and tomatoes in a pink creamy broth). It's easily one of the best clam chowders I've ever tasted! I also ordered the "Cold Seafood Wrap" (seafood medley tossed in lemon aioli with mixed greens) and my wife got the "BBQ Shrimp Wrap" (grilled shrimp, lettuce, tomato, onions, tortilla strips, candied jalapeños & BBQ sauce). Both wraps were excellent! Our older son happily ate some "Deli Bread" (garlic bread stuffed with provolone, cheddar, banana peppers, pepperoni, side of parmesan peppercorn) and we all shared some "Sweet Mash" (served with candied walnuts and siracha maple). Every single item we sampled was exceptional! We'll definitely be back!

    This restaurant recently celebrated its first anniversary. I've been hearing good things about it for quite some time, but since my family are not seafood fans it was a harder sell to get them to agree to try CT Chowder Co. I have since eaten there twice in a span of a couple weeks because the first time the New England clam chowder was one of the best I've ever had. A smoky bacon flavor and loaded with potatoes, clams, bacon, and I believe celery and onion. I also had the stuffie, which is supposed to be a stuffed clam. There were 2 and while fresh and generous, I could not distinguish any actual clams. There were shrimp in there, but I expected to see and taste clams. I also did not expect there to be carrots in the stuffie either. I thought that was a bit odd, but it wasn't off-putting. On the second outing I of course ordered the clam chowder again. It was still loaded, but didn't have the same flavor as the previous order did. It was still good though, just not as good as the first time. I also opted to try one of their burgers. I ordered the Get Stuffed burger and asked for the boom sauce on the side, as I was not sure if it would be too spicy for me. When we received the order there was a cup of the sauce on the side, but unfortunately someone had also put the sauce on the burger as well. I was not happy about that, but luckily it was not spicy because it would have ruined the burger for me. The burger was very juicy. My daughter ordered the Marsala mushroom burger, which she loved! I would order this next time for myself. The restaurant also offers specials that change weekly. I think on a future visit I will try lobster bisque or lobster pie. Wishing this small gem continued success!

    Trying local places for lunch once a week and we went to CT Chowder Co. in North Haven CT The ordering was easy, pick up easy, portions were good sizes and food was delicious!!! We had the "stuffies" clams, southwest salad with salmon (cooked perfectly), chicken quesadilla and roadie burger which didn't make the pictures lol. Highly recommended

    Marsala mushroom burger

    I was driving around with my husband, and we both were really hungry. So I googled "takeout near me" and this place was 1st on the list. My husband is a huge foodie and really likes visiting deli's in the state. So we decided to try this place. I LOVE seafood, so when I see it, I'll try it. Its a cute place. Cozy. I really like their menu. It's filled with all different flavors for your palette. Just reading their menu items, made my mouth water haha. I ordered the Marsala mushroom burger and a small cup of CT clam chowder. I've never tried CT clam chowder and I'm usually a fan of NE clam chowder. My husband ordered the stuffed burger and a side of macaroni salad. We decided to eat there. They only have two tables inside which is fine. Keepin it cozy! And they have picnic tables outside for those sunny days. Today was the perfect soup day-rainy! They brought out my chowder to me. Yum! The perfect blend of tomato and cream. Looked like a bisque. It was delicious! They were very generous with the lobster pieces in the chowder, which I liked a lot! My husband liked their macaroni salad. He said it was the right amount of seasoning. Not heavy on the mayo. Just perfect. Now the Marsala mushroom burger is the best mushroom burger I've ever had! So fresh and cooked to the right temperature. Melts in your mouth. Generous on the mushrooms and cheese. The buns were not greasy at all which is a huge plus! The patty is a good size! Enough to fill you for sure. The stuffed burger was juicy. Per the husband, "the best burger I've had in CT hands down! The service was excellent! Everyone was very attentive, and friendly! All great hard workers! Since this place is just a short drive from our hometown, we'll be back to try more of their delicious food!

    We recently stopped in to order take out and I'm glad we did. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and they even gave us a free sample of their house chowder. We ordered the lobster bisque and the New England clam chowder and not only was the flavor good but they both had very generous portions of seafood in them. I ordered the salmon wrap which was fresh and light with a great flavor. My mom got the lobster grilled cheese and really enjoyed that as well. We look forward to going back and trying other menu items. This was not only a good find but a great addition to town!

    Came to town (North Haven) for Car shopping excursion with my sister from downstate NY. It's been a hectic month so I offered to drive her to dealership to clear my head. The dealership was about 1.5 hours to CT. During our ride there, we decide to seafood and found CT Chowder. Small establishment- take out only. We ordered CT Clam Chowder with bread bowl, salad with balsamic, and Lazy Man Lobster.. Delicious Delicious Delicious Worth a visit when you are in the vicinity.

    Just had the Greek Swordfish wrap and it was amazing on a hot almost summer day. Totally amazing combo of Mediterranean flavors, light and refreshing. The olives and feta saltiness of set by the tomato and lettuce and sweet tzatziki sauce. I hope this stays on the menu for the summer.

    Amazing place! I have driven by so many times and had to try after seeing the great reviews!…read moreHad the chorizo bowl with poached egg. DELICIOUS! Everyone else as so nice as well!

    Literally THE BEST BREAKFAST PLACE ANYWHERE! I'm giving 5 stars, which I only reserve when…read moreeverything is phenomenal. Today was my 4th time coming here and it did not disappoint. We tried to get in yesterday but it was super crowded and we didn't want to wait amongst a lot of people (too much sickness going around). However, I wish we had gone, because our breakfast wasn't anywhere as good as today. I started with a Carmel latte which was really good. I had the croissant French toast which was utterly amazing! I have to say that I am NOT a breakfast person. I'm not a fan of eggs, but I will eat them and I hate to start the day with a sugar bomb! However, the croissant French toast was a true delight. It came topped with fresh, not frozen sugary stuff, beautiful juicy strawberries, a nice light whipped cream, and a not so sugary chocolate sauce on the side. It did have a lot of whipped cream so I loved that to the side. It was served with syrup but I didn't use any. The flavor of the croissant with the strawberries was enough for me. I barely dipped it in the chocolate. It was delectable! I've also had their Irish Benny on another trip which was amazing and the pumpkin pancakes. There is NO other breakfast place where I cannot make a decision because there are so many delicious items to choose from. And, I know that anything I choose is going to be utterly amazing. Their portions are big and their prices are very fair for what your get. I felt like I had a whole pint of strawberries on my croissant. My husband had the meat lovers omelet with oatmeal. He said everything was perfect. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. This is a typical breakfast place. It's not fancy but friendly and clean. And everyone seems happy! The kind of place I like. You have to get here early or you'll have a wait. I say the wait is well worth it. We went at 8:30 on a holiday and were able to be seated immediately. That's the first time that's happened though. I want to try their lunch, but their breakfast is so amazing, I would probably order breakfast for lunch which is something I NEVER do! If we had this place near us (we're from Philly), it would be the death of me! I'd be going all the time.
