Billy’s Seafood Company

We had an outstanding dining experience at Billy’s Seafood Company, located in the heart of uptown Saint John! From the moment we walked in, the inviting atmosphere set the stage for a wonderful meal. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the seafood chowder—it was absolutely divine! Each spoonful was a delightful blend of creamy goodness, brimming with an assortment of fresh seafood that was both flavorful and satisfying. The lobster 🦞 roll Connecticut style was also very delicious with generous lobster portion. Moreover, the overall vibe of the restaurant was fantastic, making it a perfect spot to unwind and savor a delicious meal. I must also commend Luke for his exemplary service; he was not only attentive but also genuinely friendly, enhancing our dining experience with his warm hospitality. If you’re in search of a place that serves delectable food and offers a welcoming environment, I wholeheartedly recommend Billy’s Seafood Company. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! 🦐✨

Although they couldn’t accommodate us at the moment due to a large party, we still made a reservation for 1430. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress recommended scallops since they didn’t have the crab cakes available, and she did not disappoint. Billy himself came over to speak with us as well. I went with the lobster roll with a side of chowder hoping the lobster roll would be better than when I tried them in Maine. It did not disappoint. I ordered Connecticut style, but the traditional with mayonnaise was recommended. The fish and chips were good. Not too much batter. The fish was soft. Did not come with tartar sauce though. The kids also ordered pasta with red sauce, and they seemed to like it. The chowder was creamy and had the right amount of scallop and potatoes and mussels. It was a nice combination with the lobster roll. The poutine was excellent. Better than gravy so the mozzarella cheese on French fries in your NY diner. The scallops with bacon was flavorful. The scallop on its own was bland so must be eaten with the bacon. The lobster roll was better here than the ones I ate in Maine. The roll the lobster was on was delicious. If you’re ever in the area, stop by. You won’t be disappointed.

I don't understand the bad reviews on here. While we were initially disappointed with the service. (It took about 15 plus minutes for the waiter to take our drink order, (considering there were hardly any customers there at that time) they more than made up for it in the quality of food. I grew up on the ocean, and Seafood is my favorite. We had Mussels, scallops, raw oysters, and the Seafood Platter. Absolutely delicious!! Will definitely be revisiting.

Nice place, went there multiple times and enjoyed it however food preparation in not so consistent. (first time musself were amazing, second time they were undercooked). The Oysters are fresh and nice (every time I went there however the Mignonette was also not consistent). It gets very busy during lunch hours, if you go a little later in the afternoon I would say it is a bit better. Oysters, Clam chowder is recommended - great, lobster is hype, battered clams just taste of batter.

I almost never leave a review, unless the restaurant is exceptional, one way or another. Billy's is amazing. The lobster roll is beyond terrific. The bread alone was sooo good. The wait staff were super friendly and the owner himself was doing a bang up job of clearing tables, taking orders and hosting. It was impressive watching him and amusing to listen to him. Honestly I would come back again and again! Ps: notice on the picture there's nearly no roll left. It was so amazing!

Stopped I'm for a quick lunch. The lobster roll was full, and the bread was well toasted. The fries were hot and crispy. Our waitress, Allie, was amazing! The shrimp burger surprisingly had a meat patty AND shrimp! The bun was well toasted. Crispy onion straws, too. The poutin was really good, but drowning in gravy, but it sure was yummy. It's definitely a place to stop . Don't let the road construction stop you.

Really cool seafood spot... It is a long-standing location in St John. Both appetizers were delicious.. especially the scallops. Then we shared 2 plates that were a lot of food for 4. Fish and chips were crispy and tasty.. the fried clams which usually is no my thing were very good too. Well.. this is a must stop location when in town for sure...

Located centrally in Saint John, a good site for seafood. Wonderful Seafood Chowder. Rich and full of flavour with just the right mix of seafood. Oysters were fresh. Both my lunch companion and I wish we had ordered more than the 6 we shared. The main entree I ordered, Lobster roll was a disappointing dish. Green onions overpowered the lobster, which was sharing the fresh bun with too much mayonnaise. Much of the lobster taste was masked over. Crab cakes were recommended and did not disappoint at all. Service was slow and inconsistent. Will be back to have the Oysters, crab cakes and that wonderful seafood chowder.
