Hello reader, I just had the great pleasure of eating at Chowder Heads, and I am beyond excited to share with you my experience. Upon opening up the front door, I was immediately struck by a heavenly odor of fried fish and fresh lobster. My mouth began to involuntarily salivate and my heart rate immediately shot up. Ed, the owner, greeted me with a warm, fatherly smile and seated me at one of their rustic, luxurious tables. I shook his hand and we locked eyes briefly. He noticed I looked a bit excited and nervous, and told me that my waitress would be with me shortly.
On the table, I found a crisp, new pack of crayons, and I began to draw giddily as my excitement continued to escalate. I took the little flower from the mini-vase on my table and began to chew it mindlessly. The waitress came to my table, took the flower from my mouth and laughed. I blushed, and my legs began to fidget nervously. She was a petite, brown-haired, Caucasian woman, no older than 28, with a slim, athletic figure.
She introduced herself and informed me of the specials, but my mind was in such a flurry I can't remember what she said. I was so intimidated by her beauty and the overwhelming of all of my senses that I could hardly speak. As I began to profusely sweat, I said, "I-I'll h-have whatever y-you recommend." After sensing my nervousness, she said "Say no more, I got you." She then departed my table, taking the flower with her to the kitchen.
After bringing me my water a couple minutes later, she brought me a plastic version of the flower she took away, and a tall, homemade glass of lemonade. "Wow, this is service!" I said to her. She informed me my food would be out shortly.
So, I began gnawing on the plastic flower and burning up a bunch of calories nervously fidgeting around in my chair. I felt like I was burning up from all of the complex emotions and sensations happening, so the lemonade really hit the spot. I ripped the stem off of the plastic flower, keeping it in my mouth, and began to throw the head of the plastic flower up and down to myself. I also began to rip open sugar packets and suck the sugar up with my straw into my nose and mouth, comparing the different flavors of the sugars and sugar-substitutes.
I began to flex my thigh muscles for as long as I could until they burned, while holding my breath.
Before I knew it, my food was approaching. The waitress brought out a big bowl of the most fragrant, delicious-looking clam-chowder I have ever seen. The bowl was garnished with thinly-sliced lemon and various kinds of crackers. Just when I thought she was finished presenting me with Ed's famous food, she placed a bright-red cooked lobster in front of me, already cracked open in all the right spots.
"Enjoy your meal!" she said with a smile.
And before I could say anything in reply, she vanished, and me and my meal were alone at last. I began to take the lobster meat out of the shell, mince it up into small pieces, and throw it into my clam chowder. I also crushed the crackers and stirred them into the chowder. After I was finished combining all of my food into the chowder, I picked up the chowder and began to gulp it down as rapidly as I could.
I managed to ingest around 40% of the fluid before I became satiated. It was impossibly delicious. I still cannot believe that food can taste that good. I did not know it was possible.
After finishing, although I was full, I enjoyed sitting in front of this delicious, fragrant bowl of fluid, basking in its energies. I dipped my finger in and licked it many times, and began to dot my face with the fluid with my finger, challenging myself to see if I could lick it off. At this point, all of my nervousness had been released and I was now euphoric and relaxed. I realized that my tongue is not as long as I thought it was as I was performing the challenge. Once bored with dotting my face with the chowder, I wiped my face off with sleeve and realized that I may have room in my stomach for a little more fluid. Darn, seems I reached the character limit for a google review....
Read moreMade a reservation for 3 people for Friday night at 5:30 - they accepted the reservation. (spoke to them directly, this was not an online reservation) Upon arrival, we were seated at a table for 2 with an extra chair pulled up to the small table making it a very small table for 3 - not nearly enough room - this was a reservation and they had the table set for us like this ahead of time - Not like we walked in at the last minute on a Friday asking for a table and they squeezed us in. When I inquired about getting a larger table, the server said she’d ask the manager. When she came back to take our order, she said the manager didn’t want to move us but she would inquire again. Should’ve gotten up and left then but my 95-year-old friend was with me and did not want to drag her to another restaurant on a Friday night in season and have to wait somewhere else. That’s why I made a reservation to begin with. We placed our order - 2 lobster dinners and a lobster roll plus sides & wine. No way could they fit all that food on this table for 2. Ask server again about a larger table since no way to fit all food on this one, ask to have manager come over and she says manager won’t come. When I remind her we’ve ordered 2 lobster dinners & a lobster roll - not only a lot of food but big $$ compared to the table next to us who all ordered the $15.99 special - they finally move us to a larger table, which should’ve happened anyway, regardless, and I didn’t say this but we were going to walk out if not. Then we get the overpriced $63 per plate 1.5 lb lobster, which both had a burnt taste to it and the meat for the lobster roll, though didn’t have the burnt taste, was not moist. The server was very nice and apologetic, but the management is less than Professional. This is not the first time I’ve been here but likely will...
Read moreAs somebody from New England, I wanted to come here because I miss some of my hometown flavors. Now I know that it's a little bit more expensive for a place down here to try and recreate flavors from the Northeast just based flavors from the Northeast just based on operating costs. But honestly I was super disappointed. I ordered a lobster roll with a choice of New England clam chowder for the side. First thing that upset me, is when I opened up the bag with the New England clam chowder in it. They only gave me one bag or package of oyster crackers which isn't that big of a deal. But in the container that is less than 16 oz sized, it wasn't even half full. I took pictures of this but unfortunately I'm not able to post on here. Then the lobster roll. While the lobster tasted good and was fresh and well-cooked, the role was extremely small. Of course it's a typical New England Frankfurter roll which is fine. But it wasn't even that full of lobster. They charge $2 extra for chowder as a side which I thought was a little excessive. But had they filled the container completely, I would have been okay with it. All in all, it cost me almost $30 to have a half full cup of chowder, and 1/2 full lobster roll. I've been to other restaurants that serve New England favorites that were not only better, but not overpriced. It was lunch time, and the place was pretty dead so I'm not surprised why. Considering the flavors were decent, I hope they get their...
