My husband and I ate here on a Thursday evening and shared a fish platter. The cod was delicious, but the fried clams and shrimp had little taste. We were disappointed that our dining experience didn't match the excellent reviews found on this website.

This place is full of atmosphere even at lunch time. We had scallops wrapped in bacon which were delicious. Then we both had fish and chips and the batter was lovely and thin. Would go again.

I had a boat in the area for 10 years and Bills was the local hang-out when we were not on the water. The atmosphere is great. You can watch jet-skis and small boats meander by. The food is good as well. I think they have the best fried clams around. Not greasy....perfect. The bar on the deck is a... More

We have been to Bill's Seafood several times. We always go on Monday evenings when the big band Tuxedo Junction plays for dining and dancing entertainment. On this most recent visit, the place was jammed, and people just kept coming in! I had to keep reminding myself that it was a Monday night, not a Friday or Saturday!! The staff... More

Foods always good, great to sit outside in the warmer months. Bring cash, they only take cash and if you don't have any you'll be using their convenient ATM in the lobby and of course paying a service fee. Get there early for dinner, place is packed especially during peak tourist season

We love Bills. The food is delicious, the staff is very friendy. It is so packed in the summer that it is hard to get into the restaurant or the outside patio. That is the only drawback. The prices are average. The portions served are not skimpy. There is also an icecream restaurant outside that is very nice. Try Bills... More

I've been going to Bill's for over forty years. It is consistent seafood. The prime rib is excellent and big. They have Rhode Island chowder, which is not always easy to come by. This is a very busy place in the summer. The crowd is lively and they often have fun music. Drinking and dancing is a lot of fun... More

It's known for its seafood and casual dining. Gets very crowed in the summer, but it's worth the wait. Sitting on the large outdoor deck near the water is a must. I don't like sitting at the inside tables where it can get very loud and the tables are very close together. Although, the inside bar is large and a... More

The atmosphere and friendly folks are wonderful. Summers are packed on the outside deck and forget about St. Patrick's Day, you can't get near the place. One of the few places that still appreciates customers and treats you well.
