The award is well deserved.
Lobster, lobster rolls, clams, clam strips head the lineup of typical New England fare, but the menu includes much more such as haddock, shrimp and scallops, and of course New England (or Manhattan) chowder and lobster bisque. Their rolls, the buttery, soft, lightly toasted rolls one would expect “up North” for seafood sandwiches hold sweet pieces of lobster, shrimp or scallops. All delicious and fresh. Onion strings (or rings) are among the best anywhere.

| Haddock McLaughlin |
We lunched on the lobster roll and scallop roll. These were so good we returned for the Chowder Heads signature dish, Haddock McLaughlin.
Lightly cracker crusted, the super fresh fish serving was generous as were two lemon wedges --something not served with regularity at other seafood restaurants. An encore order
of onion strings and a hefty salad completed the meal. A subtlety-spiced creamy sauce and a catsup-based
sauce accompanied all meals. The creamy version earns a big nod. It’s a
terrific complement to any dish. Burgers, chicken and pasta dishes and an array
of tasty salads and soups also available.
Chowder Heads, a small eatery, is casual, with seating inside and a few tables outdoors. Reservations available but not necessary unless for a large party. A small bar serves beer and wine and a TV is available for sports enthusiasts. Parking is easy. They do a brisk takeout business and orders can be submitted online.
Customers come from other towns. One said he stops by at least every two weeks from Palm Beach Gardens. It’s worth the eight-mile drive from Palm Beach Gardens; traffic on US 1 in this area is light. Get to Chowder Heads for your "lobsta" and plenty more.
