This one has been on my wish list for a while! Finally I got the opportunity to see what all the chatter was about. On the way I asked myself if my GPS had it right because as far as I knew, there were only roads, a highway, and a gas station out there. But being out in nearly nowhere is perfect for one of the very best ma and pop shops I've ever had the privilege to eat in! And this restaurant is ma and pop in every sense of the meaning! Do not expect fancy decor or trendy chairs and tables in this place (thank goodness!). The chairs are metal - all so basic that you know this place has been here for quite a while. I was approached by a stellar server, Nikki. Asked a few questions and placed my order. Of course the chowder was number one on my list. But then, as I looked through the sandwiches, I saw that they had blackened mahi mahi! My all time favorite! Then got a coleslaw and iced tea to go along with it. I know many have written good things about this chowder and I can say much as well. But I won't go too much into detail. Let's just say I wanted to pick up a full pot for take-out the day after I first tried it and - I called too late! They had run out on me. This chowder is an area staple and if you love a good cajun chowder, this one is it. Well, this Midwest man may not be the best authority on that - but hey!! This is Yelp!!! I don't have to be!! I can speak about the blackened mahi mahi sandwich. It's simple - superbly spiced fresh mahi mahi, blackened but not blackened burned! Comes with lettuce, tomato, and their special sauce. I put it on mine and it was fantastic. I credit their choice in buns for their seafood as well. This restaurant has history out here I'm sure. In observing the folks in Chowder Ted's I saw many who appeared to be regulars. I stuck out as the sore thumb. I didn't mind as everyone was nice to me. I do like that this shop is next to the water as well. Gave me the opportunity to take a walk after dinner and catch a few good photos, along with the ones I took for Yelp. I have a love at first visit for this restaurant! If cajun food is your thing, head on over. If you want to try something new, head on over. If you're a Yelper and stuck on where to go for your next review, head on over!! Just get up and geaux geaux geaux!! Recommend: VERY HIGH read more
