Home › Clam Chowder in Seaside, Oregon
Our clam chowder is made in our own kitchen, not poured out of a bag. It's mellow, rich and genuinely loaded with seafood — and at $5.50 for a cup it's the cheapest good thing on the Oregon coast.
Cup or bread bowl
A cup is $5.50 and comes with oyster crackers. It's the right call if you're pairing it with a fish basket or a burger, which most people do.
The sourdough bread bowl is $16.95 and is a full meal on its own. You will tell yourself you're not going to eat the bowl. You will eat the bowl.

What's actually in it
Thick and creamy without being gluey, with real clam through it rather than a suggestion of clam. Reviewers describe it as mellow and rich with a lot of seafood, and it's one of the two things — along with the fish and chips — that people mention over and over.
It's made fresh in-house. Ask what else is on the soup board when you come in; it changes.
