Chowder Pot III Branford CT Dining

Award-winning CT Restaurant closes

EDITORS NOTE: Chowder Pot Branford is closed until further notice.

Sit down and enjoy the relaxed dining experience. The Chowder Pot III restaurant offers a nautical décor with a laid back atmosphere. Our experience began with a fresh loaf of round honey bread with fresh butter, pipping hot, fresh from the oven, and it just melted in your mouth. delicious. The Lobster Bisque – a Chowder Pot favorite, was just heavenly with many chunks of tasty lobster meat. The New England Clam Chowder is creamy and flavorful as promised. Both worth ordering every time. Next salad. Fresh mixed greens, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers and red onion with house made garlic dressing. I had to save some of the dressing to dip my bread in. One of the very best I have ever had in a restaurant setting.

One of the Chowder Pot’s specialty entrees is called Seafood Imperial. A baked seafood casserole consisting of shrimp, scallops and lobster baked in a rich brandy cream sauce. It was definitely wonderful. Creamy delicious sauce without overpowering the sweet, fresh seafood. We also tried the baked stuffed sole with seafood stuffing. Generous portions and melt in your mouth flavors. For the Landlubber, offerings include prime rib, tenderloin tips, NY strip steaks, and chicken. Traditional and specialty salads are offered with or without add ins and a children’s menu with six choices is also available. Daily specials are also available, Monday is Lobster Night! There’s also the large Captain’s Lounge, dance floor, weekend live bands, and a popular bar side raw bar. Happy Hour is Monday – Friday from 3:30-6:00 pm with 1/2 priced appetizer selections and beverage discounts.
