“ I go here often. Food is usually fresh and delicious menu is very big. It has something for everybody the piggy eater and the adventure eater a little on the price your side but not too bad. Staff is usually friendly. Enough restaurant is super cute inside giving old-fashioned diner vibes in the best way. ”
“ Good sandwiches but i have to question the sanitation. The employees who prepare the food don't use gloves. Disgusting!! ”
“ Okay so for whatever reason I've been craving a roast beef with cheese and sauce for the past week and I just got theirs with a pizza roll and oh my gosh, it was absolutely amazing!! The roast beef was so so good. The cheese and sauce combo with their thin slices of roast beef was chef's kiss. It was also the perfect portion size for me. They do have a larger size on an onion roll if you want that as well. The pizza roll was oh so perfect. Not too chewy, yet filled with melted cheese and it's cooked to the perfect crisp. Cant wait to come back for more! ”
“ As good as Woodman's of Essex! We had the combo platter, shrimp platter and Clam Chowder. Everything was delicious! We used to live locally and would come here frequently. Now we live in Wyoming but come to New England every so often. Every New England trip we must come to Billy's!! If you love fried seafood, you won't be disappointed!!! Enjoy!!! ”
“ Among the best Narrth Shore Roast Beef joints, the sauce is great and the onion roll is to die for. The fried clams and scallops are fine, but nothing to go nuts over, hence the 4. But seriously get the roast beef and fries! ”
“ If there's one thing I know about New England, is that some of the best places to eat are some of the most unassuming. Billy's reviews made them stand out and I was drawn to them like a mosquito to the blue zapper light. My first meal in Boston, I was looking for fried clams. Billy's delivered. Got a clam "set" which is effectively a meal or combo (Read: comes with fries) and a cup of chowder. This is the kind of meal where afterwards you want to nap it out. It was exactly what I wanted. Salty, chewy, clammy, hearty, fried, yum. I slept well that night. ”
