The Chowder House in Mount Dora is a mix of yesterday & today with Tony's kicked up Chowder as the star of the house. The menu includes fresh seafood of fish,shrimp, scallops and crab entrees. Lunch starts at 11 and dinner is available now. Stop in for a cup, bowl, quart dine in or take home. Limited seating is available. During peak times there maybe a wait. Please be patient.
