Flounder’s Chowder House

Flounder's Chowder House, established by the Flounder Brothers — Fred, Floyd, and Felix — is not just a restaurant; it's a maritime journey. The retired shrimp boat, M/V FLOUNDER, proudly stands as a symbol of the Flounder family's seafaring legacy, having braved seas from Key West, Florida, to Tampico, Mexico. The Marlin Bar showcases a colossal 980lb blue marlin, a USGFA World Record catch by Gulf Coast Angler Warren Culbertson, surrounded by historical artifacts like the Man-Eating Giant Clam and a Cuban raft that carried refugees across the Gulf from Cuba to Key West in 1988.

Inside Flounder's, the maritime narrative continues with ship models, a fan-shaped stained glass from a New York convent, and vintage moonshine stills from the 1930s and 1940s. The bar features hand-carved oak sections and authentic confessional booth pieces from a New Orleans church, creating an ambiance that tells stories from both local and global perspectives. At Flounder's Chowder House, every corner echoes with the rich history of seafaring and the Gulf Coast, offering patrons not just a meal but an immersive experience in maritime heritage.

Step into Flounder's Chowder House for an exceptional dining experience that goes beyond the ordinary, where history, culture, and excellent cuisine converge to create an atmosphere that is uniquely Flounder's.
