I absolutely love this Jacksonville gem. It reminds me of growing up here and Old Florida. The sauces are all homemade and the fish is the actual fish you order (which does not always happen at other seafood places ;)). The attention to detail in the food is obvious. The service is great and tge view outside of the restaurant is stunning. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
I love this dive. We like to eat our food outside on the little deck by the water. The food is tasty. It just seems a shame a side of fries isn’t included with the main, making it a bit more pricey than the usual greasy spoon. I love stopping here after a day at Little Talbot Island.

FREE BEER TOMORROW!!! ...and very delicious seafood served by friendly, cheerful staff in a fun local restaurant with a down-home country ambiance. Located on the St. Johns River across from the north side of Blount Island Marine Terminal, Chowder Ted's is a short, pleasant drive away from the traffic of Jacksonville. The first thing we noticed while waiting to be seated was how big all the servings are. We began with a pot to share of their namesake's chowder, and it lived up to it's name. (I'm glad it did because my name is Ted, too.) The chowder is in a spicy broth with big chunks of potato, clams, and tomato, and it's so good that next time I'm getting my own pot of it as a meal - yummy! There's a wide variety of appetizers, sandwiches, and entrees, including big cheeseburgers in case you came to a chowder house but don't like seafood.(WTF?) We settled on the fried flounder sandwich, which was delivered with a side of very tasty, freshly made coleslaw. The sandwich was piled high with 3 filets of perfectly fried, golden brown fish, so large it was hanging over the edges of the large bun. It was dressed with lettuce, tomato, and a very tasty sauce on the bun. The servers are so friendly, and the vibe inside is like a neighborhood restaurant full of regulars. Get over to Chowder Ted's right now!! They are open Tuesday through Saturday. You will be glad you came.
