Brewster Inn and Chowder House

We have probably eaten here over 20 times and, while no meal was a gastronomic adventure, the food has always been well prepared and tasty. The prices reflect a real value for what you get and the service ranges from perfunctory to very friendly and helpful. Don't expect a memorable meal...just good food at a fair price.

My in-laws live in Brewster. When we visit we stop at The Brewster Inn for the clam chowder, it's the best we have had and we are true chowder afficinados!

Everyone in our party was terribly dissapointed. The "Lobster Pie" was a disaster: lobster pieces so overcooked they were actually rubbery, all smothered in a vulgar amount of sherry. The seafood pasta was dry and bland, the only discernable seasoning being stale, dried herbs. My broiled scallops were decent, until I nearly choked on a half-inch shard of clam shell. This was amateur bar food at best and they would be better off sticking to burgers and fries. On a side note, the prices listed on the official Fodor's review is dated as the menu now ranges from $14 - $27, with an average price being about $19.00.
