The Culinary Institute of AmericaDecember 10, 2012Not only do tourists and Maine locals love chef and CIA alum Richard Varano’s restaurant, Billy’s Chowder House, but they once spotted a moose sitting by the bar!
We go there every march & Jan and for appetizers we get any if the chowders/ Stews ( I prefer seafood stew) and there fried chicken wings you won't be disappointed.
Martha MeeganSeptember 15, 2018Any Lobster dish is perfectly prepared and tasty. Terrific Service and Reasonably priced, be sure to look at the stars on a clear night, amazing
Brian KenyonSeptember 5, 2021Lobster stew was a bit smaller than expected and I know it's not necessarily a kids restaurant for $9 for boxed Mac n cheese not house made Mac n cheese is too pricey. Service was pretty slow.
