"They know a thing ot two about turning out a great bowl of chowder; theirs is hearty and flavorful with plenty of clams."

Boston Magazine

"We were won over by the buttery, not-too-thick texture, bits of fresh thyme, and sweet, chopped cockles and clams that make this Faneuil Hall spot’s chowder a perfect example of what the New England staple should be."

Erik Christensen

"Who knew Ned Devine’s had some of the best chowder in the Hub (besides the Briar Group)? This three-time Chowderfest champ is bursting with flavor (and clams), has a medium texture (aka just right, according to the Goldilocks porridge index), and is crowned with fresh thyme. Simple and effective."

"Where to Get the Best New England Clam Chowder in Boston: Ned Devine's Irish Pub - A three-time Boston Harborfest Chowderfest champion, the chowder here is medium-thick, with bite-sized pieces of tender, briny clams (although it could have used more), giant hunks of potato, bits of celery, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme in a sweet, creamy base."

Nikki Chase

"Party spot by night, chowder haven by day. This Irish pub has mastered what New England chowder ought to be."
