❤️🥣 THANK YOU! 2025 was extra special because it was our first year with the Hillyer’s as owners after Larry’s retirement. Continuing this legacy as a family operation has been nothing short of a dream. We couldn’t have done it without our incredible, seafood-obsessed customers who see our mission and come back again and again. And a huge shoutout to our dedicated staff at both locations for always delivering top-notch service and keeping the line moving! From the World Cup, to awesome community events, to expanding our philanthropy, we have even BIGGER plans for 2026…. 🤭 Trust us, you’ll want to stick around for the ride! 🌊
The first day of fall marks a new season and we’re thrilled to announce that our business has turned over a new leaf…🍂
Our founder, Larry Mellum, has entrusted the Hillyer family to continue Pike Place Chowder’s incredible legacy. As he steps into retirement, we’re ecstatic to support him in devoting his time to protecting the Salish Sea and ensuring a future for Orca whales.
Larry didn’t pass the ladle to just anyone. For decades the Hillyer’s have been woven into our story, working alongside the team in recipe development, chowder cook-offs, and meaningful community outreach. They share our unwavering commitment to quality; serving small-batch, sustainable seafood to tourists and locals alike. The Hillyer’s vow to carry the heart of this historic Seattle restaurant forward with passion, making every first taste of our award-winning chowder a moment to remember.
☔️ Rain or shine, it’s chowder time! 🌞

Woohoo! We’re so excited to be featured on @yelpwashington Top Places to Eat for 2025. 🥳 This list is “curated straight from the forks (and hearts) of Yelp’s Elite Squad”. 🍴From making all of our award-winning chowders from scratch daily, to using 100% sustainable seafood, we’re so happy that the food experts can taste a difference! ❤️
Somehow this little corner of @pikeplacepublicmarket always feels the same in the best way. The noise outside, the smell of fresh chowder, people gathered around the table, tourists becoming regulars. 🥣
What keeps you coming back?
Food is fuel.
But it’s also the conversations over lunch.
The people you bring back with you.
The comfort after a long day.
The memories made around the table.
That’s what we’ve always been about. 🥣❤️
Whether you’re celebrating Mother’s Day at home with chowder and rolls on the table or gathering together at one of our locations, we’re honored to be part of the memories. 🤍
Here’s to good food, meaningful moments, and the moms who bring everyone together. Happy Mother’s Day from Pike Place Chowder.
Mother’s Day feels special when you don’t have to think twice about the gift 🦀
One day shipping, easy to make together, and trust us, she’s going to love every bite.
This is exactly what your Friday needed 😋
Whether you’re heading to the game, catching the sunset, or just done with the week, this is how you do it right!
Behind everything running right at our Post Alley spot… there’s Jason ☺️
Keeping things organized, fast-paced, and exactly how it should be for every single guest.
Maybe this is your sign to stop by 👀
@seattlerestaurantweek ends this Sunday!! Don’t miss your chance to stop by and try our Northwest cioppino 🥣
It’s rich, packed with seafood, and probably not something you’ve had quite like this before, we have a feeling your taste buds are going to remember this one 👀
Are you planning on coming in before May 2nd??
