SAM’S CHOWDER HOUSE 20TH ANNIVERSARY STORY CONTEST

20 Years of Sam’s. Tell Us Your Story!

Help us celebrate 20 years of seafood, sunsets, & memories.  On October 20, 2026, Sam’s Chowder House turns 20!

Over the past two decades, Sam’s has been part of so many special moments—first dates and proposals, weddings and anniversaries, birthdays and family celebrations, business meetings, baby showers, celebrations of life, and many more. As we celebrate this milestone, we want to hear what Sam’s means to you.

Send us your favorite Sam’s story and photo. It can be heartfelt, funny, nostalgic—or simply a moment you’ll always remember. Here’s how to participate.
