They definitely know how to make a lobster roll! A little pricy $20 but it does come with sides. The lobster roll can be ordered buttered or with mayo. Very good. read more

I expected a place that is named after chowders to have good chowders, but I was so wrong. Their new england chowder was worse than mediocre and the lobster bisque was not edible. I thought new england clam chowders were supposed to be cream based, but mine was like tinted water with potatoes floating around. The only saving grace for this place were their crab cakes. The service was just as bad, because when I presented my issues to the waitress she didnt care and did nothing about it. That was my first and last visit to chowder heads. If you want a decent new england clam chowder go to flanigans. read more

The family and I visited this little unassuming restaurant for our night out dinner and the food was tha BOMB!!!!!!! So delicious and flavorful. Generous amount of seafood in the pasta. Hubby LOVED the clam chowder and he's picky! Lobster bisque was also very good! Good portion, flavor & service! Well deserving of my 5 stars! read more

As a native of Mass. in town for a wedding, we stumbled across this GEM of a place. The seafood is brought in fresh from Boston by plane. The Clam chowder was Wicked Awesome!! But a true taste is the "Steamers" and Clam Cakes!!!!!! The prices were very reasonable. Try also for lunch the Haddock sliders. read more

I'm from New England and we know about fish,clams,lobsta,chowda,and all the fixins! Chowder Heads in Jupiter knows all about it too. The owner is from Salem and he comes with a treasure chest of recipes. I had the Fich "Witch" fried to perfection with a thin breaded slight light crust on a perfectly buttered and grilled roll,with tarta sauce. The sides were potatoes salad like your mother made,not too much mayo,a little scallion,hint of mustard. The little marinated cucumber side was just right with a sweetness to remind you that sugar and vinegar are great together. I'm looking forward to going back for Lobsta Pie. read more

We used to come here for three years now. We loved the food and great service. The waiters were always very nice and were running extra ways for their customers (Debbie, Roe, Kristina, Olga and more). Unfortunately, that changed dramatically. Most of the great waiters are gone now and the pleasure to enjoy chowder heads went with them. Last night was definitely the last time for us at this place. Obviously, the waitress doesn't like what she is doing. She didn't introduce herself, gave us the cold shoulder when we asked for a favor we always got there. I asked for the manager and the wife showed up even more nasty. Finally, they were cheating us on the bill. They charged us the price for bowls of lobster bisque instead of provided cups. Unfortunately, we found out too late. We will definitely not go back. There are plenty of great seafood places around to enjoy. Don't waist your time and money in a place were the management obviously is not able to honor hard working good people to keep customers happy. read more

First time here(and last). Ordered the Wicked Awesome Lobster pie ($32) it was very tiny the ritz crackers, they used had green peppers & onions in the stuffing. I wouldn't mind if it was good, it was very bland, hardly any Lobster, more like an appetizer. The waitress was very slow, waited 30 minutes to get the bill, there was hardly anyone in the place on a Sat evening. Dinner over $70 and left still hungry! read more

We found this place on groupon but didnt buy the groupon. We looked at the menu and saw that it was fresh new england seafood. Im from Rhode Island and saw that they had RI clam chowder! Hard to find that in Florida. I had the scallops and my friend had the lobster pie. Both were delicious. The lobster bisque was great also. Will definitely return to this place! read more

I would rate this as a "high class" place to look for. The foods are excellent! especially the Maine Lobster Rolls and Coconut Shrimp and Fried Haddock. read more

On a recent trip to visit my brother in Jupiter Florida, stopped in for lunch. I am born and raised in New England (so I know good seafood!),and I must say, this was OUTSTANDING. If you are in the area you must stop by!!! read more

Delicious! The best clam chowder and lobster rolls I've had since Boston! Excellent food!! read more

Another couple and we decided to try Chowder Heads tonight and we each had a coupon from a book recently purchased from Walgreens. We were told that only one coupon per table was allowed and when we said that wasn't what it said in the front of the book, the owner got very nasty with us and said that was his policy. We decided to leave without ordering and an employee followed us outside and asked that we not write an unfavorable review because it would hurt all the employees. Well, the owner should have thought about that before getting nasty with potential customers. We will not go back. Rudeness was not something we wanted on the menu tonight. read more

Myself along with a party of six visited the tiny cramped restaurant for fathers day 6-21-15.. All i can say is never again,rude waitresses,small portions,sky high prices,Not worth the money they charged for the portion they give you. I could go on and turn this into a book with all the negative things about the place..Plus they were out of many items on the menu and it was only 5:30pm. They get you in there,take your order,then from the time they bring your food they try to push you out the door so they could turn the table again. Mind you,we were a party of six and had a reservation...All i can say is that we will never go back..There are too many more seafood restaurants around that offer much better prices and larger food portions for your money along with a friendly atmosphere. read more

Went here for dinner with a business associate. The place had been recommended to me by a college and friend. We were very disappointed when the lobster rolls came. They claim the lobster is fresh, but all it is is frozen lobster they keep in the freezer for weeks and then warm it up. Very disappointing. I even had a stomach ache after leaving due to this. read more

First time eating here while visiting the west palm beach area. The food was excellent, the wait staff was great and very friendly and the Resturant had a charming decor! I would highly recommend this place and it's worth the drive. Great lobster rolls and great service! read more

We first tried Chowderheads on our way to Maltz, shortly after they opened. We ordered , had a glass of wine, one chowder, and that was it. Apparently one fryer was down, it took too long, and we left. Tried it again last night. My hair and sweater still smell of frying oil. Only saw one page on menu, noticed all the dishes now named after Boston sports heroes. Too bad the waitress didn't know what we were ordering. Found out after ordering lobster roll, It was $25 not 21 on the only page I saw. It was Delish, really big, but really loved the onion strings. Atmosphere not nearly as nice as the WPB location, which closed after a short time. Too expensive for our area, I guess. Service was not attentive, and a mostly older crowd read more

I ate at the Jupiter location tonight at approx. 8pm 10/26/14. As I entered the restaurant I noted a smell of burn shell so I decided to look at the outdoor seating. As I chose a seat the waitress came out to tell me that the outdoor seating was closed as she was the only one working (however there was another couple still eating outside). I sat for a good 10 minutes with no drinks or order until the chef came out to take my order. He seemed very nice and was trying to tie up loose ends. I ordered the lobster bisque and the lobster salad roll. I then got my coke (which was completely flat) , I had to personally take my non carbonated coke to the bar area to exchange it for a water (no apology came from the server). The bisque had absolutely no flavor at all (mind you I am 40 years old so my taste buds are fully functional, additionally I spend 1/2 the year in Cape Cod and have for my whole life so I am very familiar with New England Food). I am not sure how one makes completely flavorless bisque as all of the ingredients have distinct flavor (heavy cream, lobster, nutmeg, sherry, chicken broth, herbs/veggies), but Chowderheads has managed to find the exact right recipe for all flavors to cancel each other out. I will say that the $12 up charge to add lobster meat was a decent value as I got a solid 5 Oz instead of 4 Oz. The lobster roll was OK except for the fact that the meat was slightly undercooked and translucent. I noted our waitress was running around the restaurant attending to everything except our table. I even saw her and the chef eating during their work shift right out in the open (which is against food safety and sanitation). The service didn't improve even after the rest of the patrons left. At first I thought she was overwhelmed servicing 6 seating's, but again the service didn't improve even when we were the only people left. If it wasn't for the chef I would have bagged the whole thing and left. One of the best parts of the evening as I sat and ate my flavorless bisque and undercooked lobster roll was when the waitress proceeded to drag tables and chairs around as she cleaned up the outside seating area preparing for close. Few things are as relaxing during a meal as hearing the sound of metal furniture dragging across brick, no attempt was made by her to pick up the chairs, it was almost as if she was acting out her frustrations by annoying everyone within earshot (including the restaurant next door). Finally, when I went to use a $15 off coupon I was informed that there was a misprint and I couldn't use it on a ticket of under $50. My bill was at $46 so I had to order the carrot cake just to use the coupon. The carrot cake (I was told) is made by an outside vendor so I figured it might be OK, for $8 you essentially get a carrot cake cupcake. Honestly, in sum I was very excited to get some good down home Cape Cod food, and believe me this fell short on many levels. I wouldn't eat at Chowderheads even if it was free. read more

Seen this place in a email from Localdines.com and it looked like a great place to eat. Ate there last night with a group of friends. Will not be back for several reasons. Most of us had the Lobster Bisque and one had the New England Clam Chowder. We all thought the Lobster Bisque was boring and didn't contain any lobster that we could find. However, the New England Clam Chowder was pretty good. Salads were iceberg lettuce and were boring. THE MEAL: Shrimp Platter ($16)had large shrimp that tasted fishy. The coleslaw was ok, but the onion strings were greasy. The special Fish N Chips ($14.95)were a total joke! Two small portions of fish that looked like they came from a box of Mrs. Paul's and were so greasy I couldn't help but laugh at the person with us eating it. He was not amused. The Coconut Shrimp ($18) had over cooked coconut and only 4 pieces of shrimp that were rubbery. The Ipswich Clam Plater ($20) was nothing to write home about and it was a small portion. The onion strings were so greasy he couldn't eat them. The Crab Cake app was boring. We were served in styrofoam cups and the dinners come in styrofoam takeout containers. For the almost $35 per person we spent, one would think real glass and better tableware would have been used. The service was just OK and nothing to write home about. I was surprised when the waiter just "tossed" our crackers on the table after asking for more than just one little bag of oyster crackers. The whole experience was a wasted 1/2 hour drive and $160 dinner for 5 and one only ordered appetizers. We asked for a few copies of the full receipt. That seem to be a task they could complete. They said they would try. Twenty minutes later. No receipt and they couldn't even come over to tell us they couldn't do it. Just left us there until we finally said "Lets get out of here". We all said the same thing: Well we tried it and won't be back. So High prices, small portions greasy portions and poor service. We would have had a better meal at Long John Silvers. Can't I give them a 1/2 star? This review isn't meant to be mean. Just our take on the place. Glad we were with good friends or the night would have been a total loss. read more

Carb cake was all bread. Good luck finding any crab meat. I think it was old because u got violently sick. I ordered a sandwich and they brought me a platter, and then charged me for the platter. Never again. Food terrible- service was slow and nobody was there. That should've been an indication of how bad it was going to be. read more

Underwhelmed. I read great reviews on yelp and decided to give this place a try. However, what I got was lackluster dishes and horrible service. I convinced my dining party: a grand total of three, that we should try this restaurant based on the great reviews and delectable New England style seafood dishes. We arrived to a nearly empty restaurant and were promptly seated. It took the waitress about ten minutes to come to our table to get our drink order another five more to bring our beer/wine list. What we ordered: Rhode Island spicy chowder: Fishy New England clam chowder: Tasty but nothing special Clam cakes. Not true R.I. clam cakes more like conch fritters but heavier Captain's Platter: Two of us ordered this platter for a sampler of the restaurant fare. We got flavorless white fish, shrimp and Ipswich fried clams. The scallops that came out ten minutes later were bit under cooked also with no flavor. The best thing about this platter were the clams but they were cold. You are supposed to get two sides with the Captain's platter, what I ordered was only one side: potato salad and asked that my cup of soup be counted as my "other side" adding the extra cost of $1. What I got was french fries and coleslaw. No potato salad. I mentioned the mistake to my server and she gave me the excuse that the cook was sick basically you get what you get but did I want the potato salad? I told her the mix up was fine and not to bother. On a side note the coleslaw was pretty tasty. The other person in our party ordered the appetizer of fried Ipswich clams with seemed to be decent except they were more strips than fried clams with bellies as originally ordered. The server was slow and rude. We asked for glasses of water after we finished our bottle of wine. The ice waters were delivered with contempt, she basically slammed the waters down on the table and stormed off to help another table. The other person in our party, the designated driver ordered ice tea and it sat empty for a good twenty minutes until we were able to flag her down and ask for a refill. I'll never go back to this place there are other restaurants that are worth the money with better food and service. read more

Stopped for lunch 4/9/13 had the fried shrimp looked great but all the breading fell off before I could eat them and to make matters worse the tarter sauce I believe comes from a jar [not home made] the onion rings were very good and house salad average. Restaurant appeared clean and waitress pleasant. Five shrimp and ice tea thirty two dollars with tip. Wont be going back. read more

After visiting another restaurant with "the best lobster roll ever" I have to say this person is either delusional or has never been to your restaurant. Chowder Heads has the best lobster roll I have ever had in this area. I get a lobster roll at every restaurant that has it on the menu so that says a lot. I have had it both cold in mayo and hot in sherry. I personally like the hot in sherry best. If you are looking for the best lobster roll in town, go to Chowder Heads and save yourself the disappointment at other restaurants. read more

I ate at this restaurant a month ago and loved everything we ordered. the New England Clam Chowder is delicious and the lobster roll was fantastic. I don't know where these bad reviewers ate but my experience was great. read more

We dined here on a Firday night soon after they opened. They were very busy but did their very best to please everyone. The lobster roll was out of this world and loaded with lobster meat! I Had onion rings with my roll and they were hanfd made! We also tried their cowder (my husband had New England and I had the Manhattan). We both thought they were among the best we'd ever had. To round off the dinner, I thoroughly enjoyed a homemand whoopie pie. DELICIOUS! I can't wait to return!!! read more

Seemed like a good spot. Had good reviews, was "rated" top chowder and what not. My food was decent, we got a Ceaser salad and the Lobster Roll along with Calamari for starters. The calamari was from a frozen box, you could taste the freezer burns and honestly, that was all the flavor it had. Not even dipping it into the Marinara helped. The salad was good and that is great bc if you mess up a Ceaser salad, you should not be open. The lobster was also void of flavor and taste. The roll was fine and the fries were fine. They were busy which was not surprising on a Sunday next to the beach. Surprisingly, they had only one server for over 5 tables in which the smallest party was 3. It is difficult to take orders, run the food, grab drinks with only one server. That is something mgmt should consider. I'm not saying it was awful, I was just disappointed after reading such greatness about this place. read more

I really enjoyed my time in Jupiter on vacation and stopped in to Chowderheads and had a fun experience .... good food, good service, I would definitely recommend this place ! I'll be back !!! read more

Went for the first time upon Yelps recommendations. Needless to say, very disappointed. The soups we ordered were good. We were not thrilled with the very small portions. Shrimp were extremely salty. Salads were very mediocre. I was presented with a $66.00 bill for virtually a salad, soup, a few shrimp and scallops, and beers. Not worth it for the exorbitant price charged. A little much for only two people. read more

My wife and I have eaten here many times and loved it. If you love fresh seafood this is a place you should try. The service and food were wonderful and we can't wait to dine there again. read more

Not sure if this restaurant deserves a 2 or 3-star. Food: Have gone three-four times and have gotten inconsistent quality with the lobster roll. The first time I went it was excellent. The second time, chewy. My friend would not eat it and the waiter said the lobster is from a different company (purveyor) and gave her some chowder (always good). Okay, so I tried take out with a lobster roll and once again, it was chewy, not fresh, possibly overcooked or old (I do not live far away). And the menu states the lobster is 'tail' & 'claw.' This is not the case as there are small chewy leg pieces in the roll. The chowder is always good. Potato salad & ice tea good. I have not had any of the fried foods but assume they are probably good, as you can't go wrong with fried foods. The prices are steep. Lobster roll with a side is $25.00. Maybe if I was in New England I would be ok paying the price but not for this. Also, if it is busy you will have a wait and they will not separate the check. One table, one check. That is what our waitress told us. read more

How in the Yelp world did this place get such a high rating? First when you walk in it is not much to look at. Deli counters and table turned length wise to accommodate more people. We were rudely told where to sit as though the waitress was addressing grammar school children. Things did not get better. The waitress then threw my salad down on the table as though she was dealing a bad poker hand. Every thing on the menu was deeeeeeep fried by someone at the grill who looked as though he would rather bite your head off than smile. Our service was simply rude. Did you ever get the feeling that your waiter simply wanted to get rid of you so she could get home faster. If not and you want this life experience eat here. read more

I haven't ever written a review...but today's lunch with my Mom at Chowder Heads was a miserable experience, food was bad, service was lackluster and what incensed me the most was the price. Ridiculously overpriced for underwhelming greasy food. I am tired of being ripped off by restaurants that think so highly of themselves...Ive lived here all my life, I am a local, these folks need to repair their menu, identify their customer service issues and lower their prices...I am protesting high priced food that is sold under such pretense. Never again! read more

I am glad to see the owner seems to read these hopefuly he can adjust and stay in business. On first entering it was a strange atmosphere almost fast foodie, very small tables no booths it seemed like you were going to order from the counter and wait for your number to be called. all tables were small and you had to push them together to have 4 or 6 people and forget a big group. Prices were very high for the atmosphere. 6 and 8 $ kids meals with no drink, $8 for a bowl of clam chowder with lots of potatoes but not alot of clams it was not bad clam chowder but it was a $5 maybe $6 bowl anywhere else. Wife got a lobster roll $18 1 side, big chunks of lobster which sounds good but because they are so big not much mayo and low on flovor. She is from NE and grow up on them and I have made about 500 in my life and she gave it about a 6. sides need to be bigger since the rolls in general are not real big, we had to stop for some fast food on the way home because we were not really satiated after spending over $60 for 2 kids and 2 adults. We are not fat and don't eat fast food much but it was a little necessary for her and 1 child. I got the fishermans plater $25 and ate everything on the plate and was satisfied but not full. Maybe in Jupiter (or on Jupiter) $25 is the going rate for that amount of fried food but most other places around the county its $18 to $20 especialy with the fast food atmosphere here. There are many places around the county with a nice comfortable atmosphere with better prices for similar food. Other things to consider is foam cups and ketchup in packs and premade up cups of tarter and cocktail sauce maybe if you were on a boardwalk somewhere but not in a uper end sitdown restaurant. you need to have ketchup on the table I got 1 packet and when I asked for more I got 1 more. I feel bad when we were leaving somone getting out of there car asked me "how was it" and I paused and they said "tell me the truth" they got in there car and left. We had a coupon and It was not really worth it, I told my wife I wish we had not gone there and went to the great Greak restaurant down the street. The whole way home we grumbled about the place. Oh and at the end the waitress took our plates and left and never returned and we just sat there untill another waitress asked if we needed anything and she brought the bill. Sorry to the owners but I hope you make some changes, I won't be back but maybe others will like it more then. Good luck read more

More of a sandwich shop, than a sit down restaurant. We enjoyed the clam chowder and onion straws. Crab cake was pricey...nothing special. Food came out quickly, didn't see the waitress again. She was covering the entire place but it wasn't crowded. read more

So good! Visiting from New England! Delicious! I had the clams with fries! Felt like I was home. And the clam chowder was awesome! Wicked good! read more

Progresso has better clam chowder. Ran out of chowder on a Sunday. Overly salty food. Very small restaurant.

Amazing. Came on a Sunday night around 6. It wasn't busy at all. Started off with the clam chowder (so good) and lobster bisque (good but not amazing) soups. Dinner was phenomenal. Ordered the lobster roll Maine style. The lobster was so fresh. Apparently they catch the fish the day before then bring it in. Definitely the best lobster I've ever had. Highly recommend it. While it was $25 (including a side), it was more than worth the money. I'm dreaming of the lobster as I type this. BF ordered the cod (fried) with fries and a salad for $17. The cod literally melted in your mouth. It was amazing and so, so fresh. Also the best and most fresh cod I've ever had. Overall, this restaurant is really small and located in a strip mall but my god is it amazing. You have to try this. Definitely going back. The only negative I can say is that the waitress was very brisk and not very warm/friendly. She did seem to be busy though and the food more than made up for it. Do yourself a favor and try this place! You won't regret it. read more

Phenomenal food at reasonable prices, I highly recommend eating here! Thankfully, I was able to meet Ed, the owner, great honorable man who sure knows how to serve up some lobster! read more

It's no surprise that lobster roll options are plentiful in PBC - however, Chowder Heads offers the best, hands down. A sandwich (around $20) is not cheap but you get what you pay for! The meat is exceedingly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served in a lightly toasted bun with a hint of butter. Perfect accompaniments include coleslaw and the onion strings (of course). read more

This is easily the best lobster rolls in town, probably all of Florida. I had the pleasure of having a quick conversation with the owner, Ed I believe, and could immediately tell he was exemplary of a hard working American and never cut corners. Keep on truckin, Ed. read more

Excellent New England clam chowder. That's all you need to order.
