It would have been a missed opportunity if I hadn't tried East Coast clam chowder while I was in Boston, even though I am not normally a fan of it. I was fully aware that Faneuil Hall food is overpriced and regarded as a tourist trap, but what the heck, I was a tourist, so why not? The person working there let me sample a bit of the available chowders, which was super nice. The service was really quick; ordering and paying all happened before I could fully process what I was doing. The atmosphere was very lively, and the hall was bustling with people. There was still plenty of seating, but I decided to walk out and eat my chowder along the water. FOOD: New England Clam Chowder (4/5) - I opted for their smaller size, and I'm glad I did because it was very rich and creamy. They were pretty generous with the chunks of seafood, potatoes, etc. It was definitely overpriced, so I wouldn't have gotten it if I were a local. read more

Boston Chowda - New England Clam Chowda - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

During a recent vacay to Boston, this place was suggested as a must try. Glad I did! This fast casual place is found inside Faneuil Hall. Hot, tasty, and a true Bostonian experience. The chowder was rich, comforting, and exactly what you hope for when you're in Boston--served piping hot and full of flavor. I recommend sticking with what they're known for: the chowder and a lobster roll. Casual, classic, and no-frills in the best way. The hubs and I split a large chowder and a hot roll. Plenty to split!! If you want an authentic taste of Boston while wandering Faneuil Hall, this spot absolutely delivers. The only challenge (on an inclement day) was seating. Will I go back? Next time this SoCA gal visits Boston...you bet! read more

Located in Quincey Market which is a very busy food hall. They have so many options for seafood and came across this one since the line was long, but not too long which to me meant good food and likely worth the wait. I ordered a lobster roll and a cup of clam chowder. Delicious although bread could have been a little more toasted but jam pack with lots of lobster which is just how I like it. read more

This food hall was extremely busy. Definitely touristy (almost $50 for one meal) but the food was pretty good overall. We shared a manager's special with a hot lobster roll, a cup of clam chowder, and a small drink. The roll was quite tasty and the chowder was just ok for me. I felt it needed more pepper and it was more like broth than a creamy chowder. read more

Quincy market is busy but this stall always knows how to help with crowds. There were people sort of standing around but not ordering, but there was actually no line! Go right up to the counter. The soup was ready right away, I had 0 wait. Delicious!!! The onions on top are perfect. Always opt to sit outside because it's chaos in Quincy market. Definitely overpriced too but that's anything in Quincy market. read more

I have to agree with the recent reviews--this place feels overpriced for what it offers. I was especially excited to try the clam chowder, but it ended up being pretty mediocre and not particularly memorable. read more

While exploring Quincy Market we stopped for a bite to eat at Boston Chowda. Naturally I had to try their New England Clam chowder. It was nice & rich with good chunks of chowder & potatoes. There were crispy fried onions on top. I skipped the bread bowl because honestly just wanted to enjoy the taste of the chowder. Well I gobbled it down pretty quick! So good! 2025-83 read more

Wow! I'm not a big seafood person but had to give east coast chowda a try. The lobster roll is a must as well. The chowda was good!

Saw this place on YouTube in quincy market. A roll of eateries, you will find this place. Got the chowda and lobster butter roll. Chowda was more like soup. It was flavorful but would like it thicker. Lobster butter roll. Sadly to say, it wasn't the hype I thought it would be. Grilled roll with buttered lobster. Pros: Nice big piece of lobster in the roll and a lot of clams in the chowda. Cons: I liked the big pieces of lobster but the butter made the roll soggy. Would like the chowda thicker. Would I got back? Maybe not. read more

Got the lobster special which was the hot buttered lobster roll and clam chowder. The lobster roll itself was around $42, and for that price it was quite disappointing. Not much flavor, if any, and tasted a bit old Clam chowder was pretty good, but it's a small cup Overall not worth the price read more

Boston Chowda has a catchy name! I tried the clam chowda bowl, New England style, at the Faneuil Hall location. They also serve corn chowda. This is a walk up and order style location. Soups are available for viewing in pots within their glass case. The sourdough bread bowl was fantastic. I absolutely loved every bite. The soup within was just ok, tbh. The servers were friendly and fun. Being that this is a touristy location, that is important. It's worth a try. I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of my soup bowl. Next time! read more

Pricy but good. Total was $61.39 for one combo, with an extra pop + tip. We at the Boston Chowda Company located in Faneuil Hall Market place. It was packed inside and there was a line to get food but they keep you moving. Service was friendly and the this location is set up booth style in the market/hall. We had this on our list of things to try in Boston. We split the combo, which had their Award Winning New England Clam Chowder and a hot Maine Lobster Roll. It was good and dining in Faneuil Hall market place was an experience in itself. read more

Boston Chowda - Hot Buttered Maine Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Friday afternoon, this place is super busy. Throughout the entire hall, you'll have people hollering at you to get your business, which is pretty fun. Clam chowder bread bowl (7/10, $12.98) - Boston Chowda seem to have the cheapest Ram chowder in the entire hall at $12.98. The bread bowl also seem to be the largest in the hall, so overall win-win! - They offer a side of fried onions and oyster crackers, which adds a nice crisp. - However, like most bread bowls, it feels as you're eating that it's mostly bread, and a little less chowder. Make sure to eat a lot of the bread as you're eating the chowder or else it will just be bread left lol - Overall pretty good, probably not the best New England chowder that you'll ever get. Definitely a good place to stop if you're not trying to spend $30+ on clam chowder at some sitdown restaurant read more

Look. If you really really want to check this place out because Boston marketplace was on your bucket list - you're free to do so. However, I was not a fan of eating from a paper plate in half dark cold market with a ton of people pushing you for $46. Yes, That's how much a coke, a little bit of soup, and the lobster roll were. That's before tip btw. Was the lobster roll good? Yes. Was it worth it? Hell no, you can easily DIY this easy dish at home for a quarter of the price. At least it wasn't old or anything, so 2 stars read more

The lobster was so tender and moist. The portion size was small as of the hot lobster roll. The food was not that hot but had great flavor. I really enjoyed all my food. The chowder was delicious. Service was very fast. The location inside the market was convenient and had plenty of seating. Lots of other shops around because it was in the Quincy marketplace. I would go back. read more

This was the best lobster roll I have had, hands down. It's been some time since I've been to Boston, but I still think about this lobster roll. I have not yet found a place that comes close the the quality and memorability of this roll. Don't skip this place! The chowder was good, but the roll is what shined. read more

This is a stand inside the Quincy Market that has a variety of seafood. They are apparently famous for their over priced Clam Chowder. The Chowder was just ok but the head guy at the counter, maybe the owner, was extremely rude. I asked a simple question, "where can I get a couple of spoons and napkins?". He intimidatingly stared down at me with his mouth open as if I were some sort of an idiot or something. He finely reached under the counter, grabbed 2 spoons and 2 napkins. He practically threw them at me. There is absolutely no excuse for that kind of attitude. The Chowder doesn't make up for being nasty to paying customers. read more

We are visiting the famous Boston Chowda! This is the place to visit for the lobster rolls in the Quincy Market. Their combo deal is pretty good. A lobster roll, small clam chowder, and a drink! However, it's really expensive here! We ordered another lobster roll on the side. There are different types of lobster rolls here, so I recommend trying different kinds. The quality is great. Really like the garlic bread on the outside adding another flavor of the roll. The clam chowder is typical. Nothing too special. If you are visiting the Quincy Market and craving lobster roll, I would consider this place. Otherwise, there are many good options of seafood or lobster rolls around town for much cheaper price. read more

Located in Quincy Market. Had the Hot Lobsta Roll Special which came with lobster roll, clam chowda, and a drink. Chowder was yummy and rich in flavor. I enjoyed the taste, every bite had a flavor. Came with oyster crackers. Lobster was yummy and liked how the roll was dipped in melted butter. Looks like a small portion but definitely enough to fill you up. The special cost $50 which I thought was pretty high, but it was worth the try! Thank you Boston Chowda! read more

Right across from Regina Pizzeria. Never heard of them but googled and saw they were family owned with solid reviews so got a large cup of Boston chowda after my giant slice of Regina's. Pretty good, clams tasted fresh. Quincy Market seating limited in middle rotunda area, additional seating upstairs but they start to clear out around 7pm. read more

Definitely great. Have had some good chowder in California and lobster rolls in La Jolla and in the Bay Area. Their chowder had some good chunks with a white base. Very tasty. The roll was fantastic. Thick lobster on a bun with so much butter I'm not sure how you can't way it taste amazing. But again the market place is packed so it's more like fast food and no seats. Overall food was great. Service is fast but not personal. And the price. 50$ lol. I guess when in Rome. read more

During my time in Boston, I went to three different establishments to try their lobster roll. This one caught me by by surprise with how much I liked it. The bun for the lobster roll was a garlic bun - huge plus for me! The only thing that I would change is that I like to have butter on the side to drizzle over the lobster and this did not come with it. I also opted for the combo which came with a soda and a cup of chowder. This was the best clam chowder that I had on my trip. They put crispy fried onions on top and it was nice and thick and creamy! read more

Boston Chowda is a casual fast food vibe spot in the Quincy Market with friendly staff and quick service. It hits the mark being creamy with clams, but definitely is more potato heavy. The freshness is noted and it's hot, flavorful, and satisfying. This is especially great for a quick, flavorful Boston bite in a lively location. But, I found it pricey for the bowl being so small. read more

I originally got in line for the sake of trying a lobster roll for the first time, but voila! - witnessed the Shrimp Salad Roll sitting on the menu, priced at $11. So of course, being the cheapskate that I am, I ordered that instead. No regrets. The portion size was *huge*. My server topped a truckload's worth of shrimp onto my roll, which was so soft and buttery. The salad was especially creamy and melted in your mouth in a way that made all the flavors of the separate elements harmonize. Be warned that it does come cold, if that isn't your thing. read more

Faneuil Hall is in the heart of Boston which makes this restaurant ideal for people looking for a quick bite while they do the tourist thing. That being said, it is a bit of a tourist trap. Prices are a little high, but the service isn't bad. The chowder was a little bland, but the bread bowl was a nice touch. We also go a cold lobster roll, which made a hearty meal. Definitely drop by here during your downtown Boston tour. read more
