The Story of Pike Place Chowder by Larry Mellum: I am frequently asked the question, How was the recipe for your Award-Winning Clam Chowder developed? In 1991, a business partner and I opened the Charlestown Street Cafe in West Seattle. It was a great little restaurant with an upbeat, loyal staff, and its popularity exceeded our wildest expectation. In a typical week, we served 4,500 customers in a space of only 125 seats. When we opened, we decided to offer a Soup of the Day as one of our Specials. Of course, the Friday special would be New England Clam Chowder. With that, I said, have a...

Pike Place Chowder Restaurant Review

Tucked away in Pike Place Market’s Post Alley, this tiny cafeteria-style kitchen serves freshly made chowders with sourdough bread. Enjoy your chowder at the white-tiled counter or at one of the few indoor or outdoor tables. Choose from seafood bisque, velvety smoked salmon chowder made with capers and cream, classic Manhattan-style clam chowder featuring an herb-infused tomato broth with loads...

Editorial review from KidScore

Kids and adults will love Pike Place Chowders creamy, delicious, filling, and award-winning chowder. Pike Place Chowder is a well-kept...

This place does chowder, pure and simple. And while its great New England-style clam chowder has won a national award, it also does Manhattan clam chowder, smoked-salmon chowder, mixed-seafood chowder, and even a Southwestern-style chowder with chicken and corn. Can't decide which to get? Try the four-cup sampler and decide for yourself which is the best. You'll find this tiny place tucked away...

Award-winning chowder comes eight ways at this small Pike Place lunch joint.

In Short
Shoppers sit at small tables on bright chairs in this sunny, crowded space in Post Alley. The menu's focus is its sinfully creamy chowder: the original New England is an...

A friend and I stumbled upon Pike Place Chowder location near the Pike Place Market around 3pm after we had lunch at Steelhead. We noticed the long line of people (30+) waiting to order so we were curious what type of food. We saw people carrying trays with chowder and seafood rolls which looked very good. We decided to try...

On our first trip to Seattle, we went into Pike Place chowder for some really awesome chowder and lobster bisque. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, there are two in downtown Seattle when you visit.

Totally worth the wait

The 45 minute wait was totally worth this delicious chowder. We all agreed it was perfect and we all ordered something different. Don't miss this one!!!
