The chowder is great…4 flavors to choose from and all gluten free. The bread served with it is not gluten free. Chowder has a nice amount of real, fresh seafood. Lots of crab meat in mine that was claw crab meat. The ice cream was not good. Not good because there is xanthan gum in it. There’s no reason to put gums in ice cream. To me cheap ice cream has gums. Gums suck up liquid. So the ice team ends up with a dry feel/texture. I had an ice cream bar and it felt warm and dry . Yes it didn’t drip on me, but good ice cream drips as it melts. I looked at the ingredient list on the other ice cream in the to go freezer, and they had gums. So I didn’t get more ice cream when I went back the next day. That said, if you like gum ice cream, they do have interesting flavors. Be prepared to spend $7 for a scoop.

Best soup on the planet. As someone who is Gluten Free, it’s very hard to find clam chowder I can eat. So grateful most of their menu is accommodating to special diets and is extremely flavorful and high quality. Always worth a stop. I usually bring a freezer bag and stock up when I’m visiting.

This soup is absolutely amazing! Being Gluten Free, it's always a struggle to find clam chowder that I can enjoy. I'm so grateful that most of their menu caters to special diets and is bursting with flavor and high quality. It's always worth stopping by. In fact, I usually bring a freezer bag with me to stock up whenever I visit.
