What Christine Bayer likes about Geno's Chowder & Sandwich Shop.:
Had the lobster roll along with fish chowder, it was so delicious! The amount of lobster in the roll was crazy, it was overflowing so much that I ended up with extra and got to just dunk it into the butter and enjoy! This is a must try if you are in the area for sure. View all feedback. What Ehren Dreisbach doesn't like about Geno's Chowder & Sandwich Shop.:
Great staff, great views, great location, however mediocre food which was a huge disappointment. Watery chowder with no flavor and average BLT. C’MON GUYS!! You can do better! View all feedback.

It is a special treat to visit Genos! I especially love the oyster stew (when available). Parking is tough, but the location is very pretty.

Closes in the winter, but if you can make it there, try the chowder (milky style loaded with clams with interesting flavors including pepper and celery) and

Expect a short wait at Geno's as it's a very popular spot. It's a cute little restaurant that really dives all in to the fisherman/nautical theme. There's...
