Sam’s Chowder House

Nestled on a hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Sam’s Chowder House offers stunning sunsets, oceanfront outdoor dining, and a seafood experience reminiscent of an East Coast-style seafood house. Enjoy our fresh catch of the day, authentic lobster rolls stuffed with big chunks of sweet and juicy lobster, fresh local crab, live Maine lobster, fried calamari, fish and chips, delicious chowders, lobster clambakes, ahi tuna poke from our raw bar, and other seafood specialties. Farm fresh salads are made with ingredients that may have been in the fields of Half Moon Bay earlier that day.

Glass windows span the length of the building in this relaxed, family-friendly setting, with ocean views from every seat and extensive outdoor oceanfront dining, with a pet-friendly patio. Vegetarian, gluten-free, and kid’s menus available. Sam’s was featured on NBC’s The Today Show and named “Best Seafood Restaurant in San Mateo County”.
