I’m reviewing the booth at the green market and not the restaurant. I’m shocked at the reviews. Their chowder — clam and Nantucket — is delicious. Their lobster salad is fantastic. One critical review says the lobster roll was cold — well yes, they ARE SUPPOSED to be cold (a CT lobster roll can be warm w butter and no mayo, but a classic New England is cold and with mayo). As for all the comments about Steve and Mary being rude, it’s a New England common sense attitude. It’s not rude — it’s just not warm and fuzzy. Never visit Maine if you can’t handle their vibe. They have been lovely to us for years, in a kind of businesslike manner with a little bite/sarcasm thrown in. One comment says they mocked someone asking if the lobster bisque had lobster …. Are you kidding? A totally mock-worthy question. YES, the bisque is made from lobster.
If you’re looking for friends or sycophants, maybe don’t go to them. For great food and a few laughs, enjoy!

I was so excited to attend the WPB farmers market on the first day just to get the lobster roll I’d been purchasing for years. They used to be the best. When she took it out of the cooler I was taken aback at the sight; the lobster seemed shredded with no visible lumps, and was half the amount, as I had been used to and as is typical in all lobster rolls I’ve ever had. The taste was also off—rather disgusting! What a huge disappointment! What happened here! You’ve ruined your reputation with me! I was a weekly customer but won’t be throwing away any more money with you! Top of the season disappointment!

This place is simply fascinating. It is open for 3 hours a week for a few months a year. How are they paying the rent? Is it a front for something? It’s a Tequesta mystery.

Don’t give the negative reviews a second thought! Some folks that come here for part of the year are really rude.
We live around the corner from Boston Chowda and get their delicious clam chowder once a week during season (until owner leaves for the northeast). The store is a small mostly takeout spot in Tequesta. He closes to do green markets on the weekends.
The clam chowder is the best we’ve had anywhere. We travel quite a bit and always compare other clam chowders to our best benchmark of Boston Chowda.
I have relatives from Boston and they love it too. We’ve been enjoying their food for over 12 years and just last week I mentioned to my hubby that the consistency of quality and flavor never waiver! It’s ALWAYS excellent. We stock up on frozen soups before the owner closes and goes north for season.
It’s SO good!

Attended the West Palm Beach Green Market today. Was very excited about ordering the lobster roll and lobster bisque combo. The lobster roll was underwhelming; it was cold and on a piece of plain, white bread (not a “roll” by any stretch). However, what upset me most, was the way that she treated customers. An older gentleman asked if there was lobster in the lobster bisque. She mocked the seeming absurdity of his question and proceeded to make fun of him to us. Of course, as I scooped into the bisque, there was not a shred of lobster. It tasted like Better than Bouillon lobster flavor, cooking Sherry, and heavy cream.

If I could leave negative stars, I would. I went to their tent today at the West Palm’s Green Market and from the very beginning this was an unpleasant experience. The couple/owners were not friendly, shoved food to my brother in law, then I caught the woman smack talking about my 2 yr old nephew to another customer. I ended up getting into it with the lady and asked for my money back because I refused to be served by miserable people that don’t love what they do. Avoid this place at all costs. Not worth the money; very unprofessional establishment and that was just the tent , NOT the restaurant itself.

Had a lobster roll today at the Gardens green Market it was delicious! Tasted so fresh brought back memories of vacationing down at the cape. Loved it and the lobster bisque.

Went to eat here with my husband for lunch, we have never been and thought we would try it out. When the lady(blonde hair) asked what i wanted as she was scratching behind her ear with no gloves on and then touched my bread with NO GLOVES! Is this normal? The food was good but i gloves. There are so many germs and diseases out there!!!!!!!

I tried their lobster roll at the Green Market in downtown West Palm and it was terrible. It’s mayonnaise based, so all I could taste was mayo. The bun was not buttery or toasted well. Very disappointed.

Wife told another customer I had the nerve to ask a question 2 times. Wow shoot me!! It was so confusing as far as sizes and prices. They were both rude inpatient and unprofessional. As good as it tastes I will NEVER give my business to that couple again at PBG green market
