This place has won Boston's Best Chowder a few times. You also don't have to deal with the Legal Seafood shtick --i.e. you can get a great cup of chowder and not have to pay $40 for the rest of your meal...

I ususally don't like large chains but their chowder is so good - so is their lobster bisque!

Irish Bar in JP with some of the best darned clam chowder in the city. Don't get me wrong, Legal Sea Foods is also very good, but the whole package at James's Game is the best.

Oh the Sail Loft. A laid back mecca in the middle of Boston. Definitely the best chowder I've had.

I attended this years Chowderfest held at City Hall Plaza this past Sunday. I was really surprised at the high quality chowders presented. The two I really liked the best were Christopher's of Maynard and The Boston Parker House. Between the two, after several tastings, I agree with the rest of the voters, Christopher's of Maynard had the best by far. It was really nice to see restaurants from the suburbs taking the event so seriously. Great job by all that were there.
