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.

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!
