Tucked just off the main road in East Hampton, Bostwick’s Chowder House brings that perfect mix of beach-town casual and coastal culinary confidence. It’s the kind of spot where sandy feet, sunglasses, and seafood platters all fit perfectly together. For locals, it’s tradition. For visitors, it’s a must-return experience.

The setting is casual but full of charm — picnic tables, nautical touches, and the easy hum of conversation coming from the shaded patio. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch after the beach or settling in for a summer dinner with friends, the atmosphere is relaxed, upbeat, and unmistakably East End.

The menu is a seafood lover’s dream. Signature dishes like the overflowing lobster roll, golden fried clam strips, and rich, creamy chowder showcase the kitchen’s dedication to freshness and flavor. Fish tacos are bright and zesty, local flounder is crisped to perfection, and the shrimp cocktail is always ice-cold and generously portioned. Sides like coleslaw, fries, and corn on the cob round out the plates with backyard BBQ simplicity.

Drinks are straightforward and fun — beachy cocktails, cold beers, and crisp summer wines. Everything is designed to cool you off, keep the vibe light, and make your meal feel like a mini vacation.

The crowd at Bostwick’s is a Hamptons mix: families, foodies, longtime locals, and seasonal regulars — everyone comes for the same reason: honest food, easy atmosphere, and that unmistakable salt-air energy.

For anyone craving coastal comfort food served without fuss and full of flavor, Bostwick’s Chowder House delivers the kind of experience that keeps East Hampton coming back season after season.
