Timothy J.Timothy J: for $6 additional you can get clam chowder in a mug. however it's mediocre at best.

Larry A.Larry Archer: Clam chowder was just alright. Ben Franklin's "invention" is a sandwich: lunch meat, lettuce, tomato. Best thing about the place is the view -- sit outside, get a beer, watch the street performers.

Ame B.Ame Boehm: Not the best experience! Server was less than pleasant. Clam chowder tastes like it's from a can.
