Love the variety and quality of chowder here. The staff is super friendly and will let you sample chowders before you choose. I wish there was a little more space to sit inside the shop but that's ok...the food is so fantastic I'd sit on the floor!

My husband and I ate at Grans for a quick lunch. Prices are decent. Seafood chowder and mac n cheese were good. Friendly staff.

We arrived at Gran's just as the owner was locking up early but she opened up again just for us to buy some clam chowder. It was absolutely delicious.

I just discovered Gran's Chowder House tucked in the rear of a little shopping area facing Ocean Avenue in beautiful Kennebunkport at Dock Square. We had wonderful, truly wonderful, clam chowder. Classic chowder rich in clams and flavor. I also had a turkey gobbler panini which was excellent. Great taste and plentiful. Tucking away half of the sandwich for later,... More

Awesome blueberry pie and superb chicken salad sandwich. Delightful service as well. The young owner said that most items were her grandmother's receptors.

this little hole in the wall place can easily missed. Tried it after getting reviews here at Trip Advisor. The lobster roll was very good and the service was friendly. It is in town and right next to Ben and Jerrys. What more do you want. They have nice picnic tables in the court yard where they bring your food... More

This take out resturaunt was the only place we could find all home-made food! Everything we tried was delicious and they let us sample all of their chowders for free! Gran's Chowder House also had the cheapest lobster roll we could find in town and it was by far the best we had tasted. They have good portions for good... More

Ended up there by chance in a rainstorm, and was a wonderful accident! I had the chicken salad wrap which was excellent and my husband had the steak panini, also excellent. The best part however were the two young men who were working the counter, they went out of their way to be friendly and entertaining to the whole crowd... More
