another great visit to Billy's with friends!.....Great variety of food, something for everyone.... i enjoyed the fried clam platter, which comes in three sizes so you can order according to your appetite. I ordered the small, which was very satisfying.....and delicious! Clams were tender, and fried to perfection! Cole slaw was some of the best I have eaten. The staff... more

We tried their specialties - clam chowder, and a lobster roll. The former was very loose, not enough cream and contained some clams with the beards (or whatever) intact which was sort of gross. The lobster roll certainly contained lots of lobster meat, but that was it. No mayo really, so it was pretty bland. For $20 I expected better... more

If I had written this review after my last visit, a year ago, I would have recommended this restaurant. After eating there tonight, however, I can't recommend it. Last year, I enjoyed the lobster roll, clam chowder, tasty fries, hamburger, and raw oysters. Tonight, we ordered clam chowder, pork loin with apple stuffing, and broiled scallops. The clam chowder was... more

We are back for our fall excursion to ME and the first place to eat is always Billy's Chowder House. Given some of the negative reviews we were a little concerned but happily can report that it was as good as ever. Stuffed shrimp, delicious sea scallops and haddock hit the spot. We'll get the lobster stew later this weekend.... more

The boys and I stopped in for dinner and drinks on a Tues. night after driving up from Conn. for golf getaway. 15 min. wait but well worth it. Seafood was to die for and service was very friendly & helpful. Would absolutely go again. more

Our first stop on a recent trip to Maine. Arrived around 5pm and the place was packed. (Warning limited parking space). It was Happy Hour (3pm-6pm) and the bar was full, but we finally found a couple stools so we could sit at the bar. We ordered a bowl of the clam chowder and their homemade chips. Would recommend both. more

I only gave average because service is a big part of the experience when you are on vacation. The food was fantastic, best lobster roll I had the whole week and the seasonal zucchini fries were amazing! My husband waited about 20 minutes for his bar drink and when we finally we received our food we were never checked back... more

This is the best chowder I've found in the area. Been coming here many years and its still the best. Wait staff is always friendly. You have to time it well or its a long wait but its worth it. The only chowder that needs aknife and fork. I told my girlfriend but she did not believe it till she... more
