Gilbert's Chowder House is located in Maine.
4.0 of 5 stars.
I'm giving this place a 4 Star rating on the chowder alone. The chowder in a bread bowl doesn't get much better. The bread was fresh and it was packed with clams, certainly a meal of its own. I also...

It was ok. Everyone raves about the chowder; however, I've had better. The chowder out of Goucester, MA is outstanding. The service was slow and the wait staff was inattentive. Also, it was rather...

When I lived in Portland, I went here weekly, for beer and chowder with my friends. I love the casual environment, the local brews, and the creamy chowder. When I visit Portland again, I try to stop...

Traditional Maine fare, and has been for years. This place is always best when there are no cruise ships in the harbour - one of the first bread bowls in town. A great place in winter.Mainehigh: 1

We were tourists from New York and Texas seeking some great local seafood. We were pleased. Two of our group ordered the hamburger (lame I know) - but they raved about it for approximately 24 hours...

At the very least, you know a place with chowder in its name will do that dish well. Gilbert's does not disappoint. Chowder in a bread bowl is more than enough for lunch. However, if chowder isn't...

Born and raised in Portland, so I know these things. I always get a seafood chowder bread bowl when I go back home. Don't bother with the lobster roll. Go straight for the bread bowl. Gilbert's...

I called this place to inquire what was in their chowder and if there was any shellfish or meat in it. Receiving the "correct" answer, I wandered over eager to try some out. When I arrived, I...

Really nice friendly low-key place but the lobster roll didn't satisfy me as much as I would have liked. Yes, there was a good amount of lobster and the bun was nicely toasted (see pcture), but the...

They earned the "chowder" in their name, because this chowdah is a wowza. I read a review about it being so chunky that I had to put it to the test myself; see my picture of my spoon standing upright...

I'm no expert on chowder, but the bowl I had at Gilbert's after tromping through snowy streets sure hit the spot. The server couldn't have been nicer, and the atmosphere was relaxed enough that I felt...

No nonsense chowder house right in the old part of town. It all speaks for itself. Not overly fancy but good solid chowder and other fresh seafoody kind of stuff.

Good, not great.Listen - if you're a tourist and you're staying in the Old Port, sure, go. Your barometer is probably the Red Lobster so you'll dig this place. It's very low key. It's a bit...
