Menu

A comprehensive menu of Howard's Chowder Shack from North Scituate featuring all 94 meals and drinks can be found here on the menu.

Nestled alongside the road, this seafood spot has become a real contradiction in diners' experiences. While some rave about the generous portions of fried clams and flavorful fish sandwiches, others express disappointment over cold, undercooked dishes and service hiccups. Patrons appreciate the attentive staff and quick service, with friendly phone interactions enhancing takeout orders. Despite the mixed reviews, the essence of a classic seaside eatery shines through, featuring highlights such as clam cakes and chowder. With fair prices and a welcoming atmosphere, this restaurant may draw returning guests, but consistency in quality remains essential for lasting success.

Chowder is loaded with clams, cakes as well. Hand made crab cakes are must have. And you need to start with a fork to eat the lobster roll. It's jammed pack with a even mix of tails and claws. View all feedback.

What Peter Carlson dislikes about Howard's Chowder Shack:
I used to live nearby and always enjoyed their clamcakes. I stopped in recently to grab some of my favorites, but they were nothing like I remembered. The clamcakes I loved were large, packed with clams, flavorful, and not greasy at all.

We opted for fried clams and a fish sandwich. The clam strips were generously portioned, tender, and flavorful without being overly greasy. The fries were also delicious. As for the fish sandwich, it featured a thick fillet of cod that was enormous, flaky, and perfectly battered. It was substantial enough to easily be shared between two buns. We're looking forward to returning to try more items from the menu!

The sodas were practically warm, and the service was terrible; the woman at the counter was not very friendly to customers. The dough boy was, without a doubt, the worst I've ever had, and it tasted like fish. Additionally, they had a sign advertising lobster rolls, but they were sold out. They should remove the sign, as that was the main reason I stopped in. To make matters worse, they were also out of chicken and napkins!

The bisque was decent and creamy, but it didn't have any lobster meat in it. Please bring back the old recipe, even if it means charging a little more.

If you love seafood, you have to try this place! 1 lb lobster roll made with a whole lobster...tail, claw meat ...comes with Cole slaw and fries. The onion rings were to die for. Definitely coming back next time I'm in RI. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Recommended dishes: Fries, Loster Roll
