We had the buck a shuck oysters. They were delicious but the shucking was a little rough. They had sand and shell pieces in the oyster and weren't cut from the muscle, so we had to cut them before we could eat them. Kind of disappointing.

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.

A must visit if you are in Wells. Service was great. I visited once for lunch and once for dinner. The beer battered fish and chips were delicious. I had the lobster dinner the following night and it was perfect. Beautiful view of the marsh. Very cute atmosphere. Highly recommend.

We swore we'd never go back after an undrinkable bloody mary 5 years ago. We went back today because it's close to our vacation place. Great atmosphere, good service, friendly but overworked bar staff AND THE CHOWDER WAS MEDIOCRE! It's a freaking chowder house. The chowder was thin, a matter of taste, I had to leave 2 pieces of clam on the plate because I couldn't chew them, and the broth was weak. 2 glasses of wine, 2 Jim Beams and a bowl of mediocre chowder, $70.00??? I guess we're done with Billy's

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!

Great service, best seafood stuffing. Highly recommend the baked stuffed lobster
The fried scallops were some of the best scallops I have ever had. You could tell all the seafood was battered and fried fresh rather than frozen. The famous clam chowder and the lobster bisque was also great.

Old school seafood joint with amazing oyster deal on Wednesdays and friendly service. Clam chowder was exceptional!
