    The huge tray of Combo Meal that me and my husband was not able to finish it and yes we are hungry. Good Job Chowder Express! ‍

    The taste, the tenderness of the meat and the price of this Combo meal and Chowder soup is seriously worth it! Good Job Chowder Express! If you have friends or coworkers to share, this is it!

    Perfectly cooked Pork belly, just the right tang slaw, and flavorful rice.

    I came here the day before and I got the ribs combo. The plate was so heavy and to my pleasant surprised I opened it up and saw so much food. The prices here are likely the best in town. I'd suggest unbeatable. The food was steaming hot. I haven't had bbq this good in as long as I can remember. The clam chowder was soooo creamy and filled with yummy goodness. I was in such shock of the awesome experience I decided I'm coming back tomorrow. I was first in line for them to open. I was met by a warm smile from a man named Edgar. I think he's the owner. This time I ordered the pork belly and a bigger portion of clam chowder. CHOWDER EXPRESS came through again. The meat was so tender and just the right amount of sauce. Seriously, this is the first time I ever posted a positive review on yelp. Don't do reviews much, but I had to put the word out about this place.

    I've not been here so I shouldn't give it five stars, but they need more pics. They posted to Facebook today with these pics. Curiously, their prices on today's post differ from those on their website. But I need to go check them out then I'll update my review.

    This was a wonderful find. It was so close to home and we didn't even know it was there! Huge portions and wonderful service. And the chowder was delicious!

    Who knew I'd find authentic southern cooking in Anchorage, Alaska. Ate every crumb and only wanted…read moremore. Will definitely be back.

    Decided to go here on a Sunday since they are now open for Sunday brunch and dinner. This is our…read morefirst trip. I had called prior to inquire about gluten-free options. I was told that most likely I could have the catfish. But anything smothered most likely not. If you're concerned about cross contamination, this is not the place to be. I opted of course for the catfish and my two sides were sweet potatoes and collard greens. I had to forgo the cornbread or roll that comes with. My husband ordered the same since they did not have ribs on today's menu and his sides were mac & cheese and sweet potatoes with cornbread. He wanted sweet tea, but they were out so we both got the Kool-Aid and the flavor was tropical punch I would assume. Everyone was friendly and accommodating with all my questions. You know from my previous reviews if you can't give me the time to answer my allergy questions then you probably can't take the time to take my money either so I'm not going to eat there. But not the case here. I found that they have beef ribs as well as pork, ribs, and short rib ribs. They have turkey, bacon and chicken, bacon and regular. Shrimp. So those would be the proteins that I can have being gluten-free. Oxtails and any other meat that comes with a sauce or gravy would contain flour. So I could have the shrimp and grits for example. But it's nice to know that I can also get some ribs since I don't eat pork. They also have turkey sausage. The catfish was seasoned great & fried perfectly. My husband felt robbed in that there should've been more fish. As we have experienced more from for example, from a soulful restaurant in Hawaii for about the same price with same two sides as recently as January 2026. We hit that restaurant multiple times while we were in Hawaii because of the portions and the flavor. I felt that the sides were plentiful as they did fill the to go three part container up above the top threshold, which was awesome. So not stingy with the sides. They are also mindful that the juices from the sides could run over into the catfish area and make it soggy so they put parchment paper around the catfish so that when juices go over into that section it does not come in contact with the fish. That is very thoughtful. The collard greens were good. Might need a little more salt or garlic but that's me and how I cook. The sweet potato rounds remind me of the picsweet sweet potato rounds that you can buy versus buying the canned sweet potatoes or using fresh sweet potatoes and then adding your own butter and seasoning to them. I say that because the sweet potato had some kind of aftertaste that I can't put my finger on what that flavor was, but for me it was offputting so I probably won't order those again. My husband, however, felt that he could deal with it. He also tasted the aftertaste of some ingredients that was not cinnamon or nutmeg or butter or sugar, but he would order them again. He really did like the mac & cheese a lot so it's good that they put plenty in the container for him. I of course couldn't have any so I'm going off of his review of that. The Kool-Aid was definitely sweet not white on the "liquid crack" level, but definitely not watered down. If it was any more sweeter, it would definitely be my mom's. So good job done there. They were out of the sweet tea so we will have to try that next time. The restaurant is pretty large in that the tables were spaced out across the area so there would be plenty of space between you and tables. They do have some booths in there. Three flatscreen TVs but only two were on at the time that we came through there. The table that we sat at to wait for our to go order was sticky clean but sticky I didn't go around to test the other tables which I could have because we were the only ones in the restaurant besides a DoorDasher. So I'm hoping that they just didn't clean that one as well versus sticky tables all around. But for cleanliness at first look, it is clean. We came just as the transition from brunch to dinner at 3:00 PM so they did have food in the display area, but catfish was not there so we got ours fresh. They did get the sweet potatoes and the mac & cheese from the displayed containers under the heat lamps they take all forms of payment, including tap and pay. So all in all the experience was good for the most part and we will go back to try other foods so we can review those as far as I can go being gluten-free.

    This is an interesting spot. The original location was a victim of an arson fire so, they ended up…read morein this spot. This restaurant has played host to Chris Rock, Cedric The Entertainer, Rosa Parks, Snoop Dogg, Danny Glover and Sinbad (the comedian, not the pirate). This is where all the cool people go while they are in Anchorage. The restaurant is co-located with Tropical Latin Food. It is right next to the small Speedway gas station. It is not the best of locations. It has a few parking spots available that it shares with the other businesses in the strip mall that it is in. The outside of the spot is kind of dingy, and the inside was not the cleanest either. They were cleaning up when I got there though. So, the dining room area was closed and all the tables and chairs were pushed to the side as the mopped the floor. They do not have any menu available or a menu board. If you want to know what they have, you have to pull up the menu on your cellular device by going to their website. There is no QR code either. The staff their was friendly and helpful. I ordered the chicken dinner with yams and collard greens. The chicken was made fresh, so it took about 30 minutes to get my order. They just took my number and called me when it was ready. I am glad that my food was made fresh, because the food that they had on the line was scary looking. It had definitely been there for awhile. I would recommend getting your drinks from the Speedway next door. They have a better selection and are a bit cheaper. My meal was delicious. The chicken was tasty, hot and fresh. The collards and yams, even though not the best that I have had, were tasty as well. The chicken though was up there with the best I have had. This is a decent place to get your Alaskan soul food. I wish that the location was a little better though. I was teetering between a 3 and 4 star ratting, but the food tipped it to a 4. Definitely worth visiting and getting some of your hard earned dollar.

    Best Soulfood in Anchorage...period!!! We were a running group of 200+ from across the country and…read moreover a course of about 5hrs as we came and went, Mr Roscoe and staff handled us like a champ for those that were ordering food. He opened his doors to us on Father's day as well. We are so appreciative that we had a place to gather and eat good food.
