Stopped by Boston Chowda on a Sunday and it was great! My partner and I shared a cup of their classic New England style clam chowder and an order of their lobster mac & cheese. Both were great! Chowder was creamy and had great fillings. The lobster mac & cheese had a good amount of lobster in it! There were several large chunks at the bottom of the bowl which was awesome - felt like we got our money's worth. There was a bit of a line but it moves quickly! There are communal seating options in the middle of the market and upstairs! read more

Great place to go inside the Quincy Market. At first, it seems expensive for $32, but the amount of lobster you get is huge! I'm very impressed by the quality. The sandwich is good, the clam chowder ("chowda") is hearty. There's really no easy place to eat, so you kinda have to watch and wait for people to leave their table / standing table. read more

Boston Chowda - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place was recommended by a family member while I was visiting Boston. Even though we have access to some great seafood in the West Coast, there's still something quite special about East Coast lobster. You can't miss this place. When I went, soon as I entered Quincy Market and spotted a long line, I knew where it was. If you look at the price alone, it does look quite expensive. But then I think about the lobster pastas I've ordered in the past where I paid the same price and got half the amount of lobster, the price of the rolls sound quite reasonable then. The lobster was delicious. I'm no lobster connoisseur and maybe New England offers better lobster elsewhere but if this was my last impression of Boston food-wise then it was more than satisfactory. The busyness of the market is something I accepted, even enjoyed, as a tourist coming from a suburban area and traveling into the city but I can't imagine that it would be fun as a local to traverse the crowds to get this food. While there are many places where you can post up or find a seat in the market, it does not guarantee that you will have a table or be eating comfortably. Overall though, I would visit again! read more

We visited the Fanueil hall location! It was awesome! Best chowda we had! The bread bowl was warm and delicious,

This place also another little gem inside the Hall, such delicious and flavorful chowdas! The service was very nice, the guy behind the counter was super patient as I asked a million questions, they even let you try it. I absolutely loved the customer service and patience with all the tourists, the ambiance was nice at the hall just a little rough to find a table but that was just jt. Other than that, the food was absolutely delicious! read more

Today, we decided to take a trip to Boston. We came across the Boston Chowda restaurant in the strip mall. There is very limited seating down the hall, so don't count on sitting while you eat. I ordered the lobster ro for $28. My better half and her daughter ordered corn and new England Clam Chowder. The roll had fresh tasting lobster and had plenty of it! It tasted great with what might have been Ol Bay Seasoning. It could have used some celery or mayo in the mix but was delicious. The Chowder tasted good but was thin as water. Really turned us off. I don't recommend the chowder. Overall, thr lobster was good..but lack of seating and the quality of the Chowder makes me hesitant to recommend the establishment. read more

Hot, buttery, lobster with creamy clam chowder - can you say hello!!! This manager special hit us up for about $32 but worth the food and the ambience. The Quincy market offers a lot of different options but this is one you can't pass up. I have had other hot and cold lobster rolls and this one was so good I almost ordered another. Grab your food tray walk about 200 feet and post up at a table and devour this deliciousness. read more

Quincy market is mostly for tourist but this is one of the only places I get there. Even though it's probably not the most ordered, I personally love the corn chowda. Would still recommend the NE clam chowda. Note, their chowdas are a little bit more watery but I feel like the chowda is the right amount of salt. If possible, I'd recommend having someone else in your party to find seating while another orders as the area can get quite crowded during meal hours. read more

Every time I am in Boston, I always try my best to stop at Boston Chowda in Faneuil Hall Market Pl. I always get their New England Clam Chowder either in a cup or in a bread bowl. Both are delicious. It is creamy and the ingredients are good proportions. This most recent time we ordered two bread bowls and that came out to be $21.38. Service always move fast and their chowder is always fresh. I highly recommend if you have not tried their New England Clam Chowder yet. read more

If you're in Boston and not getting a hot lobster roll with a side of creamy clam chowda, are you even doing it right? I rolled into this little gem tucked near the harbor at Quincy market, and let me tell you--the hot buttered lobster roll was next-level. Sweet, tender chunks of lobster meat (none of that shredded mystery stuff), perfectly warm, drenched in just the right amount of butter, and cradled in a golden, toasted New England split-top bun. It tasted like the ocean whispered sweet nothings to my taste buds. Then came the clam chowda--thick, creamy, and loaded with clams, potatoes, and a flavor that hugged your insides like a Boston auntie in a knit sweater. Served piping hot, it had that perfect balance of rich and briny. No need for crackers--this chowda stands on its own. read more

We stopped by Quincey Market while in the midst of walking the Freedom Trail. While surveying all of the different food options available (and there are many!), one dish really stood out to me: The Lobster Mac and Cheese Pie at Boston Chowda! Mac and Cheese has always been, and will likely always be, one of my favorite all time dishes. Mix in some lobster chunks in there and I am sold! Maybe it was just the luck of the draw, but my pie had a lot of large chunks of lobster all throughout the pie. The cheese was thick and gooey and the combo was scrumptious! I finished the pie in short order and it was deceptively filling, but very satisfying. Service was adequate. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and it was crazy busy, so it was a little disorganized. We got there eventually though. The employees were never rude, but seemed kind of over it. That's the best way I can put it. lol I'm getting hungry now just typing this up and wish I could have another one of these pies right now! lol 4 stars. read more

Boston Chowda - The best clam chowder in Boston! - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

If you want a quick and easy lobster roll meal coupled with a clam chowder and a soda then this is the place for you. It is nestled in the bustling Faneuil Hall where there's lots of tourists and people roaming around a narrow and chaotic food hall. This place definitely has its rhythm down to get people in line out with their food and chowder in hand. The pricing here is always contingent on market pricing for lobster so you can't really ever expect to come in here knowing what you'll pay until you get here. The lobster roll itself is ok but definitely not the best I've had. The strong points here belong to the tasty and hearty chowder. I wish I could have a whole quart of it...though I probably would be out cold for the day with a food coma. The soup is great! I've ordered some to-go as well. All in all, this is a good place for a casual lobster roll lunch. Aside from this, good luck finding a place to eat it and enjoy the food and chowder because Faneuil Hall is a madhouse. read more

The bread bowls were approximately $13. We loooved the calm chowder and chili bowls. It was a really good amount of food. I thought it was a bit expensive but I understand you're also paying for the experience of it all. I'd still 100% recommend people try if they're in Boston. read more

Since we were in Boston, we wanted to try their famous clam chowder and lobster roll, so we decided to visit Boston Chowda Co. It was quite crowded inside Quincy Market, but the line moved pretty quick. We ordered a hot buttered lobster roll and clam chowder in a bread bowl. The food is ready relatively quick, and they make the lobster roll in front of you. We ate outside, sitting on a nearby curb, since there weren't any tables available when we went. The clam chowder was good, and the bread bowl made it even more filling. It had chunks of meat in it and the chowder was steaming hot. The lobster roll was pretty good as well, but it wasn't really hot, more lukewarm. The amount of lobster, however, was very generous. Overall, the food was pretty good. My only complaint is that it was relatively pricey, which is rather understandable because it is definitely located in a hot tourist destination. I've had cheaper and better lobster rolls elsewhere, but the clam chowder was relatively good and the location was definitely convenient. read more

One of the many clam chowder options in Quincy Market (towards the center near the seating area). We selected this one at random, and were fairly pleased. Price reasonable given the touristy area. Service was fairly efficient: the lines moved quickly. I ordered a large clam chowder, which was fairly decent. The chowder itself didn't taste too different to what I've had at other places. But I did appreciate that they were not too many potatoes. And a decent number of clams. read more

Came to Quincy Market specifically for the lobster roll at Boston Chowda. When we first got here the line was kind of long, but it went by super quick. They have extremely fast service. They have a special that you can get a lobster roll with a clam chowder soup. Definitely recommend ordering this so you can try both. The lobster roll had a ton of lobster meat, it's definitely worth it. read more

Had to try the clam chowder and lobster roll while visiting Boston and feneuil hall. The line was worth it! I got the special with a lobster roll and cup of clam chowder. Very tasty and delicious! It can be rough to find a table so if you have more than one person I suggest one looks for a table while the other gets the food. There are some tables upstairs as well in the center area. Very fun place with lots of options, and the Boston crowds co is a must try! read more

Pretty good spot in Faneuil Hall , that's the big Quincy Market indoor dining and shopping place across from the back end of City Hall. Subway stops right here - the Green line to Government Center stop . We got one of their special deals - that's a Buttered Lobster Roll with your choice of soup or chowder and a small drink for $33 . We tried the clam chowder and also ordered a Small Lobster Bisque for $10 approx. The Bisque was tasty, I thought it was better than the clam chowder though it's thinner but has a nice flavor. Not overpowering. One lobster roll is enough for two to share if you get an extra small soup fyi. Good luck finding a seat and table at 12 noon ! This spot gets busy but worth stopping if you're a tourist You can buy Boston Tshirt and other souvenirs at some of the stalls around the sides . read more

Finally returned to Boston after three years! First stop was lunch at Quincy Market. It was around 2pm, so the food hall wasn't too crowded. I stopped at Boston Chowda that offered a meal with a lobster roll (cold or hot), a cup of clam chowder and a small drink. Easy decision. When I received the food, I was very surprised by the generous portion of the lobster roll (I had the one with hot butter). As you can see in the picture, there was a generous portion of lobster meat between the soft and buttery roll. A little squeeze of lemon helped balanced the richness from the butter. The chowder was creamy, and definitely satisfying after just a small cup. The meal was delicious and a good first meal at Boston. read more

Is it the best chowda? No not particularly but I am not a New England clam chowder connoisseur and I thought it did an amazing job. If you're in Quincy market there's a lot of options to choose from, this is a safe bet. The chowder is creamy, fresh and hot. It paired great with oyster crackers which weren't stale (yes that has happened to me before) and it hit the spot as a nice appetizer before lunch! read more

This spot is part of a larger marketplace with a food court style of service. With that being said, there is a lot of traffic and many of their dishes are prepared ahead of time. We had the lobster Mac and cheese, which was ok. It had large chunks of lobster, but the cheese in the Mac in cheese was not the best. It was a little dry and didn't have a lot of depth. We also had the main lobster roll special that came with a cup of clam chowder and a drink. The lobster roll was good, but needed more butter. The chowder was a little on the thin side. It was a good value and it tasted good, but we definitely had a better lobster roll and chowder the weekend we were in town, so this place didn't fully meet expectations. read more

We had to visit the famous Quincy market, this was the very first place we visited as soon as we arrived in Boston because our train was delayed and we were getting hangry. It was obviously very touristy, a bit reminded me of fisherman's wharf in San Francisco but as a tourist I kinda liked it. Everything was pretty pricey as how it is now everywhere but again, considering it's a pretty good amount of lobster meat, I thought that plus New England clam chowder with a small drink for $35 isn't too bad. I shared it with my partner and we were both pretty happy with it. I would bring my family with me to this place again if im back in Boston but again it was a little bit pricey read more

Very mid experience; particularly for the price. Had the warm lobster roll special with clam chowder. The lobster roll had little flavor as did the chowder which even more disappointingly looked as if it had come from a can. Wanted a true Boston food experience during my brief time there and willing to pay the extra dime as a tourist trap but walked away very disappointed. Not to mention I was still hungry thereafter. No place to sit and eat your order, which I'm indifferent about but notable. read more

Crazy busy! The line for it went down the ramp leading into the building. I wasn't even sure I was in the right place. I will say for as busy as it was, they were very accommodating and friendly. I read on here to skip the bread bowl and just get the chowder, but didn't realize they probably meant what I experienced; the bread wasn't worth eating. I was really looking forward to it, but the bread gave me a stale vibe and it was a waste of money. The New England clam chowder was absolutely delicious and I wish I just would've gotten a larger cup of it. I also picked up the corn chowder for my husband because he doesn't like clams. It was pretty good. I would tell anyone if they want an authentic New England clam chowder...go here, but skip the bread bowl. read more

Boston is renown for its clam chowder - in the middle of the city, where to go that convenient and highly rated? Chowda in Faneuil Hall met the standards - rich, creamy, chowder and lobster roll with more lobster than bread. Very tasty, fulfilling, and satisfying...albeit a bit costly. Clam, lobster + the tourist tax. Worth it for the convenience and experience of tasting a great flavor of Boston - clam chowder and lobster rolls. Chowda is located in the middle of great hall - grab your food and find a seat in the central area - there may be an entertainer providing music while you dine. read more

What can I say, this was the best, albeit the only lobster roll I had in my life up to this point. (The next day I had one at Fenway park that was trash compared to this one). The roll was toasted nicely and the lobster was delicious. We ordered the manager special and it came out right away. Found a nice spot to eat outside and enjoyed. Come here and do the same :) The chowder was super good, too many potatoes in my opinion but the flavor was great. Good thing I had some tapatio with me, they didn't have any. read more

Boston Chowda was on my list of places to try if I ever come to Boston. There might be a small line but it was still worth it! It was a little confusing on how to get into this place but overall we found it! Came here during the night as a dinner and are a lobster roll and their infamous clam chowder. I also tried their lobster mac and cheese! It had a lot of different cheeses in it so just beware it is cheesy! The food was hot and great for the cold weather.

This place is overrated. I really wanted this place to warm my heart and belly for some tasty Boston Chowdah... but I was let down. The staff is friendly, kudos to them. Very welcoming. Especially the cashier, I forgot his name but young cat from Cape Verde. However first disappointed was the lobster pie. Usually, if I am not mistaken, pie Usually involves some type of crust. There was no demo in the display case. All I heard, was, it's good. So I ordered it because I love chicken pot pie so I figured that it would be as such. Sadly, it was not. I got a soupy lobster bisque shoved into a pie tin, with a crumble topping. Huge chunks of lobster meat. I wish they chopped it, for what they charged, I expected better. Lobster meat was good however, it was chewy and a little tough. It needs more seasoning and zestt. Clam chowdah... over rated. Too watery and too much potato. Kinda of watered down. Now that I had the real thing from another place, I know a good clam chowdah involves rich creamy sauce base, and a good amount of clams, not the mini ones I had. Another Yelper had mentioned, this is like borderline Progresso soup, I would agree. It lacks flavor. Like does this come straight from a can? Lines are long but move fast. The Styrofoam trays?! Why?? Its 2023! They are cheap and flimsy. Please consider using something that is stronger and biodegradable, consider going green. I doubt I'll return. Tourist trap. Plenty of other options in Quincys, read more
