***UPDATE 9-20-2022 They lost their least……NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS>****Taylors Chowder House is located in North Phoenix Arizona. It’s around 59th aveune and Thunderbird but is impossible to see from the road. It’s been in business since 1985 so they must be doing something right. They are a full service restaurant with a bar. The average seafood dinner runs around $15.00. When you walk in it doesn’t feel like Phoenix anymore…….It also doesn’t feel like 2019 anymore. You sort of get transported to the east coast by the water……of the eighties era with all kind of fishing and seafood themed relics everywhere.
Here’s the bar area.
Tables are spaced generously.
This booth is the roomiest booth I’ve ever sat in.
Our waitress is friendly and pumped about the food. We ordered and soon she brings out a basket with a toasted AZ-Style Kaiser roll and whipped soft herbed butter.
My husband was going to try the chowder since it’s a chowder house but decides on gumbo since it’s the soup of the day.
It’s an A-OK.
I was going to go with the sole Florentine………haven’t seen that on a menu in decades but I went with the pan fried Walleye Special because you just don’t come across walleye often. It’s an expensive fish and I’ve seen it at AJ’s Fine Foods for $40. a lb…….This isn’t as meaty as a $40. a pound fish but hey! it’s walleye and not swai or something like that.
I get a good amount of skinless walleye. It came out with a light dusting of cornmeal. A squish of fresh lemon and a dap of tarter and all is ok here. Off to the side is a monkey dish of sweet peas that are dressed in butter and studded with chunks of sweet onions and sliced mushrooms. My baked potato is ever so slightly over done but the inside is delicious with the herbed butter from the bread basket. ($20.00)
My husband got the entree called the Two Plus Two.
He received TWO large pieces of battered cod and two large battered shrimp, thick steak fries and the buttered peas. ( this great big plate was around $14.95)
That was my trip to Taylors Chowder House in Phoenix – A Good Old Fashioned Budget Seafood Restaurant.
