Restaurant Details

  • It's a clam-claim assault, all the plaques and cries of "Nation's Best!" as you step up to the register at Pike Place Chowder. But then you order and sit at the white-tiled counter with its baskets of oyster crackers and sourdough bread, put a spoonful of perfectly hot soup to your lips, and realize that the proprietors are just stating facts: They make the best fucking chowder anywhere. The Hall of Fame Clam Chowder is the most decorated, and rightfully so. Nothing in this soup is allowed to be larger than the clams, and that is as it should be. Diced potatoes and sliced celery need to know their place. Dill, parsley, red pepper, maybe some zest of orange or lemon—you will taste them all, you will marvel at how the flawlessly smooth and creamy soup brings the brininess of the sea without making you feel like you're licking the underside of a whale, and at the end of it all, you will be extraordinarily happy and surprisingly full.

Pike Place Chowder Review ......Challenged....

Upon reading your review I had to scurry....ok, I took a cab.....to Pike Place Chowder. Having 2 locations I chose the Pacific Place one on the 4th floor there.....
You are "FUCKING" right. It is the best chowder I have ever downed. Ivars is not even in this league of chowders.
I dove into their sampler....then proceded to order both their Award-Winning original flavor and also their Scallop Chowder.....which was "off-the-proverbial charts"!
Your Review was "Spot On" .....which I had a few of after this magnificent feast! ...Which I wore proudly.

Sincerely, Big R of The Big R Apparel Group
