My husband, son and I flew here from Yucaipa, California for our first Patriots game and had to try this place. Enjoyed the shucked/grilled oysters which were delicious. Bar service was very friendly and the entire place was full of memorabilia and charm. We will definitely return here next time we visit this incredible city!

Very friendly. I had the chowda and my wife had the french onion soup. We enjoyed both. Also the custom beer was good as well.

Wanted to just get a bowl of Chowdah, but there was a 20 min wait to be seated... when we mentioned it, the host said we could order it "to go"! We did and enjoyed it at Quincy Mahket 😉👍

This is a must stop everytime i am in Boston. Chowdah is amazing and if ypur lucky to sit at the oyster bar and watch the guys shucking oysters and clams, its worth it. The oysters are straight from the ocean. Perfection
