Recently visited Maine for my wife’s grandfather’s 90th birthday. This was my second time visiting and I never enjoyed lobster during my first visit. So right off the plane I started searching online for a good whole lobster restaurant and found Billy’s Chowder House in Wells. I think I hit the jackpot! The service was great and it was a nice, clean place. Reasonable prices too.
The food was outstanding! I got a whole baked, stuffed lobster, along with a bowl of chowder. Unbelievably delicious. I’m 59 years old and this was my first whole lobster ever. The overall experience was fantastic.
We couldn’t be happier with our choice to come here and highly recommend Billy’s for anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Went for lunch, after a 3-hour road trip from MA. What a delightful seaport restaurant. It’s located on the scenic historical Maine estuaries. Warm and cozy with a broad and varied “soup-to-nuts”menu that goes beyond seafood, and daily specials. Their bar has a variety of cocktails, mocktails, IPA’s and other beers.
I ordered shrimp tacos and a coconut margarita. My friend ordereded haddock tacos and a double IPA beer. Delicious meals. My margarita was wonderful!
Service was excellent: warm and welcoming. We took our time and did not feel rushed to finish.
Prices were comparable to many seafood restaurants.

Beautiful with a calming atmosphere. The food was amazing!! The clam chowder was excellent, the swordfish with citrus pesto was tasty and the drinks were perfect. We enjoyed the views as we ate our dinner. I highly recommend Billy’s Chowder House.

I enjoyed a seafood dinner of lobster and green beans at Billy’s Chowder House on the causeway to Wells Beach. The appetizers were awesome. The staff was friendly and gave great suggestions. They had a nice crowd for a Tuesday in February. I can’t wait to return to Billy’s for dinner.

Excellent find!!! Our usual stop was closed, so we tried here. What a gorgeous view of the marshes along with attentive staff- Thankyou to Samantha! The award-winning and tasty chowder was a classic style with butter and cream. The fried fish and chips came with 6 lightly battered, 1″ square by @ 4 to 6 inches long sticks of haddock and a pile of perfectly crispy fries. My husband and I split those for lunch and each had a cup of either the clam or haddock chowder. We’ll be back!

Had a gift card to use so we thought to try it out! Since I hadn’t been before I had to try the clam chowder and fish and chips as my litmus test. Having tried dozens of chowders in my life I’ll admit to being a self proclaimed snob about it. This chowder is a 2/5 ~at best~. I found the flavor to be superficial, and the texture more of a watered broth than creamy chowder. The clam was minced and little of it, but the potatoes were well done and bite sized.
The fish and chips was much better! 4/5 with a light breading and dense but moist filet. The fries were mostly done to taste (I asked for extra crispy) and my wife’s broiled seafood sampler was also very good.
Overall value was lacking. Similar restaurants in york/Kittery I feel offer equally good food at more reasonable prices. Fried calamari alone is $18 and most entries are $20+. For two people with a soup salad and entry was $75 inc tax. I doubt I’ll return.

Unfortunately this time at Billy’s Chowder we were disappointed . My husband got the fish and chips and the fish was 1 step up from vandecamps frozen fish.
I have a gluten allergy and got the baked haddock with rice and green beans. Unfortunately the haddock was watery and had very little flavor, the green beans were the best!
Not sure if we would go back, not worth the money.

We went here when we were on vacation in Wells. Their chowders are delicious. They have won many awards for their chowders. Their food is excellent and the fish is very fresh and everything is cooked to order. We ate there twice that’s how much we enjoyed their food, service and atmosphere. I would suggest going after 7:00 p.m. to eliminate a long wait. Extremely busy during the summer months. Going in late September, October is not as busy and you don’t have to deal with the crowds or wait times. Highly recommend if you are in this area. You won’t be disappointed!!

What a gem for a couple of tourists seeking chowder! Walked right in, seated in minutes, and served promptly. We enjoyed clam chowder, a lobster stuffed baked potato, and lobster cakes. Completing the meal with a fabulous Blueberry Shortbread sundae!
