Chowder Barge
Wilmington
The Chowder Barge in Wilmington is Los Angeles's only floating restaurant, housed on a historic 1930s maritime barge in a marina setting. It is famous for its creamy clam chowder and classic American seafood, served alongside a casual sailor bar atmosphere. Its most iconic offering is 'Rev's Chowder Burger,' a unique cheeseburger submerged in clam chowder and topped with crispy fried clams.
Viewer feedback is mixed, with many patrons praising the novelty of the chowder burger, the maritime vibe, and dishes like the buffalo tenders. However, some complain about poor customer service and describe the rustic setting as run-down. Others caution that the rich, heavy food can cause digestive discomfort.
