“ OMG .. this place is great! .. Chowder is in the name, so of course we had the Chowder Sampler! .. 4 different kinds of chowder .. the cream based chowders are the best! Although they are all great .. the New England Clam Chowder and the Salmon Chowder are awesome! Served with crustini . I'm going back for sure! ”
“ I finally tried Bob's Chowder House in Anacortes and regret not doing so sooner! The clam chowder is fantastic, loaded with razor clams and bacon. Halibut and chips portions are generous, although the halibut was a tad dry. Still, the flavor was excellent. ”
“ The food here was great and the price wasn’t too steep either for the types of food. Great experience and if you are in the local area, I would highly recommend. Their chowder is amazing and “The Clam Digger” was amazing! ”
“ Lived up to the hype! Stopped in on a rainy cold day for some warm food and loved everything we ordered. Delicious chowder, excellent fish n chips, and overall a neat coastal atmosphere. Parking is easy and prices were fair. Big fan! ”
“ Not from the area but this place has a great variety of seafood including clam chowder, fried oysters, fish and chips and more! I had the chowder sampler and it was terrific to try different types of chowders. Ever had Salmon chowder?? ”
“ In the area? Go here! The service, vibe, and food was amazing! The staff were so helpful and kind in helping me make the best selections for my gluten free dietary needs. The Manhattan Chowder was divine and my halibut fish tacos superb! My husband had the chowder sampler, which was a great way to get to try four unique chowders. He the devoured a oyster burger and a MASSIVE slice of maple bacon cake. I finished my meal with a rich GF chocolate dessert with marshmallow topping. Worth every penny, we’ll be back for sure when we’re back in Anacortes! ”
“ Wow! Delicious. These guys know how to fry food! The fries are amazing. Fish n chips soooo good. Fresh flavors and great taste. 11/10 recommend ”
“ This place gives off cool retro vibes and serves amazing food, though it's a bit oily. Definitely order the chowder in sourdough bowl and pork skewers—it's a must-try. Overall, I had a nice experience. It wasn't busy when I visited, but it's a good idea to call ahead and make a reservation just in case. Did experienced a bit delay in getting orders (or maybe I was too hungry that’s why it felt like ) ”
