The seafood was cooked to perfection, not undercooked or overcooked however the fries, chips and rings were undercooked and greasy. The clams are not the traditional corn flour only coating so overly crunchy for my taste. Fish is wet battered. Scallops are sautéed without a coating and again not what I was expecting. Tarter sauce is homemade which is a nice surprise and maybe the coleslaw too but it was super heavy with mayonnaise.

They have the best clam chowder which is why we drove 2 hours to get there. Not only is their clam chowder great, all their seafood dishes are. The batter isn’t heavy nor is the food greasy despite it being fried. The place isn’t a restaurant, there is no inside seating. You order at a window and take the tray to either side of the building to picnic tables and eat there. These areas are covered but open to the elements/breezes as there are no walls or windows so it is perfect for warm days to enjoy the outside without baking under the sun. (It is closed in winter). The prices are reasonable to moderate and the portions are generous.

Omg they have the best bacon cheddar fries ever. I have had also had the cheese burger it was delicious. I love going to the shack. I am never disappointed here. You must bring cash here however because they don’t take debit or creditcards.

UPDATE:Howard’s Chowder Shack closed at least two years ago. I went on their last day for one final meal. Howard and his wife moved to Florida. The people who have it now, renamed it. Howard would never put his name on the lousy food they serve. My five stars were for Howard and his wife. I did go once after it reopened with a new name and new people. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. The service, wait time and quality of the food is subpar. The menu is way too large for a place of its size. I miss the old Howard’s Chowder Shack. I feel sad each time I drive past it.

New owners have taken this over an rebranded it, The shack. I came across this place randomly and I’m glad I did! Huge portions, great prices, and friendly owners! Definitely try this one out!!!!!! The atmosphere and food make you feel as though your on a beach (without all that sand eating and enormous food lines)!

Not a bad little roadside drive-in food shack.
