Holy cow! What have I been missing!!!!! I decided to check it out after reading the Yelp reviews, and I am fully blown away with how amazing the food taste at this place. They were super friendly and offered me a taste test of one of the chowders that completely won me over it was the Connecticut clam chowder, which has a tomato cream base. The flavors were outstanding. I cannot stress enough how good the food was. I ended up ordering a soup to go for later and could not pass up this amazing short rib sandwich on the menu. It was short rib, arugula, caramelized onions, Gouda, and fig jam. I work close by so I will be back here over and over again! read more

We stopped here on a DC to Maine road trip. We were starving. CT chowder DID NOT DISAPPOINT. It was around 5pm on a Saturday and they were out of NE Clam Chowder and the seafood chowder. We were about to fallout sobbing, but the lady assured us that the corn and shrimp chowder was good. We also had the shrimp sliders and the seafood stuffing in potato skins. The chowder was a grand slam. The sliders were luscious and grucious. These people KNOW how to cook shrimp..no rubbery crustaceans here. In both the chowder and the sliders the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The potato skins were also delicious, but we couldn't finish them because after the chowder and sliders, we were stuffed. Highly recommend CT Chowder. read more

Delicious pink chowder. Looks like a vodka sauce. I got the 'favorite' bacon jam grilled cheese as well. Great combo for me. They have a couple other items I want to come back to try, namely hot honey shrimp tacos and a spicy fish sandwich. I'll have to hurry though, Lenten Specials! read more

I stopped here for a quick lunch randomly while driving home and found this quaint little shop with amazing flavors! I got the New England clam chowder and the caramelized onion and green apple grilled cheese and they were SO delicious! The chowder was insanely flavorful with generous amounts of everything and the grilled cheese was a perfect balance. The girls at the register are also super friendly and helpful! I wish I lived close enough to go every day! read more

As always, food was amazing in every way. I had the stuffy skins for the first time, one of the most unique and delicious combinations I've eaten. The service is friendly and accurate. And the corn chowder, beyond words. read more

Yes, it's a "seafood" restaurant but they offer other items so we ordered the steak and cheese subs thru grubhub, and they were the most disgusting things we've ever seen. We threw them out. The "beef" was jerky, there weren't any mushrooms or onions to be found and only one red pepper, and the cheese was non existent. It was on an 8" sub roll and maybe there was 4" of meat inside-I'm being generous here. Stay away. Had we been there, vs. getting delivery, we would have asked for our money back. That was NASTY!!! read more

CT Chowder - This is apparently a steak and cheese for $15! - Seafood Near Me - North Haven, Connecticut

CT Chowder Company is a takeout seafood and sandwich restaurant that opened in North Haven, Connecticut in November 2020. It was founded by partners Chef Steven Allegra and Liz Larocque. The two met when Allegra was hired as a new chef at Jake's Tavern in Wallingford. Eventually they decided to go into busy together and they created their own food truck, Get Stuffed, which first went out on the road in June 2019. The food truck's menu consists of classic American fare such as burgers, lobster rolls, grilled cheese, wraps and salads. Allegra began experimenting with chowders, in particular clam chowder. When it comes to clam chowder, most people choose between New England-style (white and creamy), Manhattan-style (tomato based), or Rhode Island-style (clear broth). Allegra decided to create a "Connecticut-style Clam Chowder" that combined elements of all three. After the new chowder did well on the road, Allegra and Larocque decided to open their own brick-and-mortar location in North Haven. In addition to different chowders, their takeout restaurant also serves lobster rolls, po' boys, burgers, wraps, salads, grilled cheese, and various appetizers. I was first introduced to CT Chowder Company when they catered at a tasting event that I attended. I was so impressed with their food that I told my wife all about them and said we should stop by their location some time. We recently stopped with our sons to get some food to take to a local winery. My wife and I shared some of their signature Clam Chowder (made with clams, smoked bacon, veggies, and tomatoes in a pink creamy broth). It's easily one of the best clam chowders I've ever tasted! I also ordered the "Cold Seafood Wrap" (seafood medley tossed in lemon aioli with mixed greens) and my wife got the "BBQ Shrimp Wrap" (grilled shrimp, lettuce, tomato, onions, tortilla strips, candied jalapeños & BBQ sauce). Both wraps were excellent! Our older son happily ate some "Deli Bread" (garlic bread stuffed with provolone, cheddar, banana peppers, pepperoni, side of parmesan peppercorn) and we all shared some "Sweet Mash" (served with candied walnuts and siracha maple). Every single item we sampled was exceptional! We'll definitely be back! read more

I've been coming here for a few years and have never been disappointed. The burgers are incredible, and don't get me started on the chowder! Everything is always delicious, the staff is amazing and it's such a cozy environment. read more

Though a mostly take out spot we ate in First the people working there were marvelous. I had the lobster bisque and it was to die for with chunks of real lobster. Then had a lobster roll it was nice. Connecticut style with drawn butter on the side. All in all expensive but worth every dollar. read more

Heard a lot about this place, very disappointed. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The Chowder was nothing when I expected. Seems like there's no managers on duty because the place is a free-for-all. And I expected it to be cleaner. read more

Stopped in at CT chowder on a whim based off other Yelp reviews. Cute shop more for takeout however there were two tables in corner or sit down. Also looks like there are patio options for warmer temperatures. Walked in placed order sound and sandwich and was ready in timely fashion 15 minutes. Prices seem a little high for sizes however the taste of food was spot on! Would definitely recommend the lobster bisque! read more

This restaurant recently celebrated its first anniversary. I've been hearing good things about it for quite some time, but since my family are not seafood fans it was a harder sell to get them to agree to try CT Chowder Co. I have since eaten there twice in a span of a couple weeks because the first time the New England clam chowder was one of the best I've ever had. A smoky bacon flavor and loaded with potatoes, clams, bacon, and I believe celery and onion. I also had the stuffie, which is supposed to be a stuffed clam. There were 2 and while fresh and generous, I could not distinguish any actual clams. There were shrimp in there, but I expected to see and taste clams. I also did not expect there to be carrots in the stuffie either. I thought that was a bit odd, but it wasn't off-putting. On the second outing I of course ordered the clam chowder again. It was still loaded, but didn't have the same flavor as the previous order did. It was still good though, just not as good as the first time. I also opted to try one of their burgers. I ordered the Get Stuffed burger and asked for the boom sauce on the side, as I was not sure if it would be too spicy for me. When we received the order there was a cup of the sauce on the side, but unfortunately someone had also put the sauce on the burger as well. I was not happy about that, but luckily it was not spicy because it would have ruined the burger for me. The burger was very juicy. My daughter ordered the Marsala mushroom burger, which she loved! I would order this next time for myself. The restaurant also offers specials that change weekly. I think on a future visit I will try lobster bisque or lobster pie. Wishing this small gem continued success! read more

Friendly and delicious. Mostly a take out place but we ate in (TBH it was a bit chilly). Food served piping hot. Lobster bisque buttery, rich, and generous. CT Chowder hearty and meaty. This food is good for the soul. Felt like part of the family. read more

The food was excellent!-corn chowder and NE chowder...the prerequisite Lobsta roll and delicious tuna taco! Falynn and friends were on point! Highly recommend you try something off their extensive menu (a lot of non-seafood choices too). My Mom agrees with the review too. read more

We were visiting from the Pacific Northwest. This place was right by our vacation rental. Food and service were excellent! Would go back there in a heartbeat! read more

We recently stopped in to order take out and I'm glad we did. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and they even gave us a free sample of their house chowder. We ordered the lobster bisque and the New England clam chowder and not only was the flavor good but they both had very generous portions of seafood in them. I ordered the salmon wrap which was fresh and light with a great flavor. My mom got the lobster grilled cheese and really enjoyed that as well. We look forward to going back and trying other menu items. This was not only a good find but a great addition to town! read more

I was driving around with my husband, and we both were really hungry. So I googled "takeout near me" and this place was 1st on the list. My husband is a huge foodie and really likes visiting deli's in the state. So we decided to try this place. I LOVE seafood, so when I see it, I'll try it. Its a cute place. Cozy. I really like their menu. It's filled with all different flavors for your palette. Just reading their menu items, made my mouth water haha. I ordered the Marsala mushroom burger and a small cup of CT clam chowder. I've never tried CT clam chowder and I'm usually a fan of NE clam chowder. My husband ordered the stuffed burger and a side of macaroni salad. We decided to eat there. They only have two tables inside which is fine. Keepin it cozy! And they have picnic tables outside for those sunny days. Today was the perfect soup day-rainy! They brought out my chowder to me. Yum! The perfect blend of tomato and cream. Looked like a bisque. It was delicious! They were very generous with the lobster pieces in the chowder, which I liked a lot! My husband liked their macaroni salad. He said it was the right amount of seasoning. Not heavy on the mayo. Just perfect. Now the Marsala mushroom burger is the best mushroom burger I've ever had! So fresh and cooked to the right temperature. Melts in your mouth. Generous on the mushrooms and cheese. The buns were not greasy at all which is a huge plus! The patty is a good size! Enough to fill you for sure. The stuffed burger was juicy. Per the husband, "the best burger I've had in CT hands down! The service was excellent! Everyone was very attentive, and friendly! All great hard workers! Since this place is just a short drive from our hometown, we'll be back to try more of their delicious food! read more

Came to town (North Haven) for Car shopping excursion with my sister from downstate NY. It's been a hectic month so I offered to drive her to dealership to clear my head. The dealership was about 1.5 hours to CT. During our ride there, we decide to seafood and found CT Chowder. Small establishment- take out only. We ordered CT Clam Chowder with bread bowl, salad with balsamic, and Lazy Man Lobster.. Delicious Delicious Delicious Worth a visit when you are in the vicinity. read more

So happy to have finally tried CT Chowder Co. Thankfully I live right down the street so it will definitely be a regular take out spot. The food is amazing, very impressed so far. Lobster bisque was out of this world flavorful with large pieces of lobster meat. Lobster roll is also very good.The side of coleslaw that comes with the lobster roll was just meh however the homemade pasta salad was much better. Got a couple of burgers today and those were also tasty. Can't wait to try more menu items. The staff is also friendly, food is ready in about 15 minutes, and the kitchen is an open setup as I could see it is very clean - which is important. read more

Wow.. we had low expectations when ordering because we had never heard of this place and the reviews on grubhub weren't great.. but we took a chance and so glad we did!! We were blown away with how good our food was! We got the seafood bomb and the CT clam chowder. We were a little nervous that it wouldn't travel well, but everything arrived perfect. The seafood bomb was unreal, loaded with lobster and scallops - I can't believe we have this place close by. I'm going to be craving this every weekend!! read more

I've ordered takeout from this new business twice..they may now be my favorite spot for takeout in North Haven. The New England chowder is the best chowder I've had in awhile and I loooooove chowder. I order it anytime I get the chance. I've had a lobster roll as well which is on point and a generous portion. We've also tried the loaded mashed potatoes, potato skins, and lobster Mac and cheese. The last time we ordered my husband even made a point to call when we're done to tell them how delicious the food was. Other seafood restaurants in the area.. chowder co is comin for you and is going to dominate. I can't wait to try other menu items! read more

This place is very expensive however the food is great. The CT chowder is really different and great for the foodie in me who loves soup and wants something different. A blend of New England and Rhode Island clam chowder. So tasty. Heavy bacon flavor. Lobster roll on point but very pricey. You do however get a side with it. Will be back for takeout for sure. read more

My first time there and I was blown away! We ordered the lobster bisque. It was to die for! It had tons of lobster in it! It was worth the price! I had a Fatty Melt and my husband had a stuffed burger. Both were great! I still have half my Fatty Melt left for lunch! Can't wait to try more items here! It was truly worth the 35 minute drive for pickup! read more

Omg. This place was great! It's a little takeout place in North Haven but the food was delish! We got New England, CT, and lobster bisque in bread bowls. The bowls were perfect! We loved the chowders a little more than the bisque, but everything was very good. We tried Caesar and garden salads which were sized enough to share. We shared two cannoli between the four of us and it was just the right amount. It's a drive for us, but the bowls alone were worth it. We found out at pickup that they had some soup specials that weren't on the app, so I'd call to see if there are more options. We def would have added these if we saw them when we were looking at the menu online. read more

Everything I've gotten on their menu is delicious. I really like their "CT-style" chowder, but their New England chowder is also excellent, and I often crave their lobster bisque--personally, the best I've ever had. Plenty for non-chowder people like my husband, who often gets the steak and cheese. And the short rib potato skins are crazy good. read more

Great food. Very nice staff. Order was on time and delicious. We highly recommend CT Chowder.

I had heard about this place from friends. I was in the area and hungry and Yelp gave me the nudge to try this spot out. It is a cozy little restaurant with 2 tables and a couple of picnic tables outside. When I walked in and said it was my first time here, they offered me a sample of their CT Chowder. I was sold from the first bite. It's a combination of NE (creamy), RI (brothy) and Manhattan which is a tomato base. This chowder is a creamy broth based soup with a bit of tomato. It is sweet and briny and chock full of veggies and clams and potatoes. I ordered a cup...it was sooooo delicious! Then I decided on their shrimp po'boy for my main course. It was just as creative and delicious as the chowder. Perfectly cooked (grilled) shrimp, in a delicious remoulade sauce on a beautiful brioche style bun. Came with a little bag of chips and everything. All of this and the prices were reasonable and the service was so friendly. You can tell when a place is run with love. The entire team was smiling and enjoying one another's company. I can't wait to come back (and am a bit worried that they deliver on Grubhub too!) . Great new find! read more

We discovered this great lunch spot earlier this week. First, the entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful, answering all of our menu questions with a smile. Next, the food. The CT chowder (tomato based) was spectacular, as was the hot buttered lobster roll. My wife raved about the chicken sandwich with spinach. We'll definitely go back soon. read more

Amazing little place with awesome seafood. Cute and cozy little place with great employees.

Had a craving for a good chowder. Saw this place online. I ordered the CT chowder that was a mix of all three. The counter girls were nice but 12.00 for a bowl (in a smaller than usual take away container) seemed a bit steep. I couldn't finish the chowder ... now not because it was BAD per day, since it had big clam pieces and soft potatoes and chunks of bacon (yum), but because it was sour. A sour I couldn't quite place and I'm assuming it may have been the tomatoes, not sure? But it was off putting. I would try it again with maybe just the clear or New England to see if it's better. read more

A little nervous when I walked in and smelled some burned cheese and could tell from the conversation behind the counter that they were training a new cook. Ordered the New England Clam Chowder and Crab cakes and waited for them to prep the food. Even before 5pm on a Friday afternoon there was a steady stream of people picking up to-go orders. A great sign! The chowder was great, I can't wait to try the other soup offerings. Crab cakes were good, but didn't really like the sauce they served with the cakes. Will return soon and try some other options. read more

We literally drove by and the name drew us back. This is a great name because their chowder is great. We had the RI clear broth which was full of clams with a very tasty broth. We are usually disappointed when we order clam chowder anywhere and kid that "maybe they dipped a clam on a string". After reading some other reviews, next time we will get their signature chowder. read more
