Food came out fast fresh and hot. Service was quick from the time order was placed to finally check received. Ambiance was loud and difficult to hear others sitting at same table or maybe just difficulty hearing at older age. read more

First timer here, we came for lunch. We were seated immediately and our waitress took our drink order. When drinks were served she took our luncheon order. Entrees were brought I a timely matter. Our waitress was efficient and professional. We all enjoyed our lunches and said we would be back. For what I could see the inside looked clean and tidy. In my opinion one should check Chowders out. The one drawback is parking could be an issue. read more

A great little restaurant in Waterville, serving excellent lake perch. I had the lunch special, which consists of three nice-sized pieces of perch, coleslaw, and tasty house-made French fries. A filling lunch with a beverage for under $20. Service is always quick and attentive. I stop in whenever I am in the area. read more

Hidden gem. Unbelievable service by Angie. Food was fresh. French Onion soup,French Dip sandwich the meat was fresh cut. Shrimp platter tasted like he caught it fresh today. Blows chain restaurants out of the water. If you are anywhere near you've got to try this place. read more

I love their food- I wish there was a drive up window to make take out easier bc I'd double my visits. It's a delight to have this place in town for so many years! read more

Awesome food. Filling portions and top notch service. It was a tad cool (air conditioning) in the restaurant for my party's liking but ambiance was very warm and inviting. Well done! read more

We ordered a Grilled Reuben , Hawaiian Burger and a Patty Melt . Looked good but had little to zero flavor . Not sure if they forgot to use the seasoning salt or not . 42 $ for 3 sandwiches with fries and was not impressed . Heard good things about this place but did not live up to the recommendation I got. Will not be back anytime soon . read more

I had a taste for a fish sandwich and I pass by this restaurant on my way home, so I called in an order for a sandwich and some onion rings. The sandwich was very good with nicely seasoned and friend fish. I'd probably get it without the cheese next time, but that's no fault if the restaurants. The onion rings and the dipping sauce that accompanied it was were both very good too. The only real issue was the bartender who seemed to be in a rush to get back to her conversation with her 2 customers and didn't really give me good service. Nothing overly rude, but definitely not attentive and welcoming. read more

The 6 piece perch dinner was delicious. The sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside and moist and creamy on the inside. The coleslaw tasted just like my homemade one which is mayo based and sweet and creamy with a touch of celery seed. Would highly recommend. Waitress was very accommodating and service was excellent. read more

Consistently good with great service. We love going for the soup, burgers, and chicken chunks. If you're looking to mingle- come on out Monday nights. We went on a Monday night and the place was packed with people up at the bar drinking margs. This did not stop us from being seated right away and our food being prompt and hot. I have no idea why that place is bumping on Mondays- but I think next time I get a Tuesday free I'll have to join them! read more

We had a wonderful perch dinner for lunch today. Great family spot with excellent service. Local favorite for lunch and dinner.

You honestly can't beat their quality of food. You can tell they make almost everything from scratch. Hand cut fires, in house Battered perch with house made coleslaw and the white chicken chili is one of the best I've ever had. Service is above par and it's very clean in both the front of house and restrooms. Highly recommend this establishment. read more

This is one of our families favorite places to eat! If you're in the mood for a cocktail, the margaritas are fantastic! Second to none!! read more

Chowders 'N Moor - American Near Me - Waterville, Ohio

The locals seems to like it, always a full parking lot. Service was fine, seated right away, food delivery fairly quickly, and correct. Décor is pretty ordinary for its seafood themed concept, though use and wear are becoming noticeable. A very loud restaurant, sounds seem to amplify within these spaces making it hard to have on a conversation. Food, probably the biggest let down of the experience. For a restaurant with such longevity, my expectations may have been unrealistically higher than they should have been and the source of my disappointments. Three dinners ordered at our table, Tuna Melt, Shrimp Basket, and the Lobster Mac & Cheese. Tuna melt, though flavorful, was a bit nauseating - literally, the amount of butter/fat used to fry the sandwich was far too much. The fries on both the shrimp and the tuna plates were conservatively cooked, limp, warm at best, my guess is they were pulled from the fryer a second before the peak of their cooking and left to sit under a heat lamp where they steamed to softness as they cooled. The Lobster Mac & Cheese was, in my opinion, a display of culinary incompetence, the lobster, barely detectable, if you're not going to use the appropriate amount of lobster at least add the flavor, say from a stock made from the shells of the lobster. The cheese in the Mac & Cheese was broken and gritty, not at all creamy, not the definition of cheese, edible but not delectable. The experience was perplexing, believing longevity and customer loyalty would lead to an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, unrealized expectations. read more

The ambiance is so cool with a sailer type of vibe that matches perfectly with their name. The service here was incredible as our waitress was incredibly sweet and was very capable of accommodating to our needs! The food was amazing and I would come back over and over again! read more

Great food. Love their chicken! Nice people and atmosphere. Their food is always consistant.

Great service and great food. Love the place. They have everything you want. I had the BLT and my husband had the fish dinner.

We took a chance on this place after doing some shopping and decided to finish the day with a short drive since it was still so nice outside. We took a left instead of a right and ended up in Waterville. There were few restaurants in this area and we didn't want pizza which we chose Chowder's after a glance on their website. We waited for a bit because it was clear that the locals were also enamoured by this restaurant. I ordered the fish and chips basket and my friend got a 3 cheese grilled cheese sandwich basket. There was a lot of food, portions were large. The fish was tasty and the fresh, homemade french fries were spectacular. We both had a combination baskets, I had a diet coke, and we shared a single bowl of soup. The check was a reasonable amount, of $30. The one part of our meal that was so special that we are still talking about it, was the bowl of french onion soup we shared. If you go, we both recommend that if you like french onion soup that you try Chowders version, because you won't be disappointed. My only negative was that it needed a touch of sherry which would have calmed down the salt content a little. We both agreed that it was heavy on the salt, but still very tasty. We've eaten French Onion soup from almost every restaurant that serves it and there have been good ones and ones that were inedible because of salt. Plus I make it once, every winter. It's a relatively easy recipe minus chopping all the onions. But even my recipe is a little time consuming due to caramelizing all onions and shallots, getting the low sodium beef stock, getting the mixture of cheeses (Emmentaler and Guyere') and toasting the bread I use to finally adding the Sherry before putting it all together. For anyone making it homemade, make sure you have a small cut in half potato beside your cooking pot. If after you add your spices (Himalayan salt, Bay leaves, ground pepper, Worcestershire sauce, etc... If you find it salty, you can put the potato inside and cook it on a simmer for a minimum of 20 to 45 minutes and then remove potato. Potatoes can be added to any soups that are too salty, they act as a salt-sponge. I mention the making of this soup because it's time consuming, so we appreciate a restaurant that serves it. The restaurant itself was clean and staff was helpful and prompt. We got great service even with the crowds on a Saturday early evening. We ended the night with doggy bags. I took home half my dinner, the french fries were spectacular reheated in the toaster oven and after the cod was reheated, and I took off all breading, Tuxedo, ate the cod. They love fish and seafood. He ate all of it after giving the big sister, Hanabi a taste. It definitely did not go to waste. I definitely recommend Chowder's and Moor, it was a great find. You certainly won't be disappointed if you find yourself driving to a new town and it's dinner time read more

We get take out from them once every few months, and the quality of our meals have been very good. And our order is always ready on time.

Wonderful service and fabulous, generous servings! The buffalo shrimp was perfect! Will be back to try the white chicken chili.

Stopped on the way home for a bite to eat and sit out the storm that was passing through. Great service, food and atmosphere! We'll be back!

Great food. We love their salads, steaks, sandwiches, and sweet potato fries. Indoor and outdoor seating is perfect for a casual, family-friendly, meal. read more

was disappointed the last time I had lunch there, I had the grill chicken sandwich there was more lettuce and tomatoes on the bun than chicken. the chicken fills the whole bun but, it was thin. I wish I would have questioned it at the time, just won't be going back. From Perrysburg , Ohio read more

$6.00 for a bowl of canned Gordon's Food Service or Sysco Food Service White Bean Chili Soup? Really and they served me a 3rd of a glass of wine for $5.60? Waitress seemed stressed. Cute restaurant though. Plenty of parking. I'll NEVER return. read more

What an interesting place. We stopped for lunch today on a Monday and there was actually quite a crowd. They have lots of specials. The menu is a combination of so many things so there is definitely something for everyone. My husband got the clam Chowder and said it was good. I had a burger and tater tots, which I would call average. The waitress was nice and polite. The decor is really very interesting and you could look around for quite awhile admiring it. If for some reason you're driving through this tiny town, stop by and try something! read more

Wanted to try something different than our usual spots so we headed to Waterville to give this place a try. Omg!! The food was soooo good!I had the Philly and fries and it was the best Philly I've ever had!! So flavorful!! Hubby had the perch and wow was it delicious!! We tried the white chicken chili and the French onion soup and they were both delicious!! My mother in law had the patty melt and she said it was wonderful!! I would have given 5 stars but we waited an hour and a half for our food. They were busy but still felt that was excessive. But the food was worth the wait! read more

Decided to give it another try, but again, it was a big mistake. First of all, the $13.99 rueben was terrible. The corned beef was heated up in the microwave which gave it a horrible taste. The sandwich was nothing but a soggy mess and couldn't even be picked up to eat. And to top off a terrible lunch, Chowders charges their customers a Non Cash Fee if you pay with a credit or debit card. Unbelievable! read more

We've been going to Chowders for years. Had good service , good drinks& food. We went 7/27/21 into a disaster. Owner was in kitchen & refused to come out of kitchen to talk to long term customers about the 1 1/2 hour wait for a tuna melt& a couple of tacos! No manager would speak to the patio of dissatisfied customers& no offer of buying us an app, comping a dessert, nothing. Servers were beyond frustrated , such a joke, no way to run a business, not sustainable. We& everyone at surrounding tables are done!!! read more

Not much has changed since I was here last (2 years ago) other then price increases. French onion soup is very good but had them run it through twice because last time it was just warm and I'm glad I did ,much better. The sandwich was good , not great but good. It was hot and fresh. Still the price is on the high side for a burger and they nickel and dime you for everything , cheese , bacon that sort of thing. And beware if you use a charge card they take 3% extra charge. All adds up to an expense run of the mill diner. I'll try again in a couple more years if it's still there. read more

Very good food. Great atmosphere. Quick and friendly service. I had the lobster roll and it was delicious. The homemade chips were not very flavorful but that may just be my opinion....they weren't bad. read more

In this tiny little town of Waterville, OH is Chowders & Moor. This is akin to a little beach club you'd find on the Gulf Coast of Mexico, think Ft. Myers Beach. We walked in on Sunday at 11am for brunch and there was no wait. There is a front room with a mix of low tops, high tops, and booths and a back room with the same. The low top tables could easily be combined to accommodate a group. You walk in and it's got a beach theme, tons of knick knacks and signs telling you about their specials. They serve a variety of types of food, but they seem to focus on burgers and seafood. We ate breakfast, so I don't know about the burgers or seafood, but there are signs all over that say that they are famous for their New England Clam Chowder and Chicken White Bean something or other. There are also TVs with sports game and a full-bar as well. I know that my significant other's dad and step-mom love the fish fry here and I also know that the breakfast is pretty tasty at reasonable prices. I had the breakfast skillet, which was potatoes, a biscuit, vegetables and some sausage gravy with two eggs (your choice) over easy. It was $7-$8 and tasty for the price. In addition to the skillet, I ordered a fruit cup. $2.50 for musk melon, cantaloupe and some grapes. It could have been $1.50, but I needed fruit to offset the guilt that came with the skillet. Just an FYI, the coffee was burned, but it's basically diner coffee so my expectations were not high. Overall, the service was decent and the breakfast was good. It's a nice little place to hit for a quick, cheap, breakfast when Dale's is packed. P.S. Signs around say that the perch fish fry is huge and that they have crab legs by the pound. I'd like to try them next time. read more
