Visit Seattle: Duke's Chowder House

After a long drive from Post Falls, Idaho to Seattle, Washington in stormy weather, our family was craving a hearty meal, and we found it at Duke's Chowder House at Southcenter Mall.

We dined during Happy Hour so we took advantage of a few of the specials - the Clam Strips, Chowder, and Burger.

The Clam Strips were perfectly cooked, and were delicious with both the Tartar Sauce and Wasabi Aioli.

I ordered the Clam Chowder.  For a small order, it was still pretty huge, and it was absolutely delicious.  It's no wonder that it's "award-winning" - it was thick, creamy, and full of lots of herbs and clams.  It was ideal comfort food for a cool evening in Seattle.

Kids meals are reasonably-priced and also include a drink.

For dessert, our server recommended the Marionberry Pie.  Since I never had marionberries before, I decided to try it.  Local marionberries were baked into a small pie and topped with Lopez Island Creamery Vanilla Ice Cream.  The tartness of the berries and the sweetness of the ice cream combined to create a very yummy dessert!

Service was excellent, and our meal at Duke's Chowder House was the perfect way to treat ourselves after a long roadtrip.
