Bill's Seafood Restaurant

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

The seafood here is top notch as well as the very professional wait staff. Be sure to call ahead for a reservation. It's not often that I get good soft crabs. Not a problem at Bills. My family and I go to Chincoteague for a week every summer, and are never dissapointed with what Bills provides. A definite winner.

We had heard good things about Bill's so we gave it a try for lunch. Perhaps dinner and breakfast are better but we had a terrible experience. Service was bad. The waitress seemed to be trying to rush us through the meal, they were only moderately busy. She never smiled that I saw and she reached across my plate to pick up my glass and refill it without saying a word. I had a seafood sampler. Unfortunately you either have to have everything fried, or everything broiled, no exceptions. It must confuse the cook if you like your scallops broiled and your shrimp fried. Speaking of shrimp mine were way overdone--rubbery with little if any flavor. The Flounder was also flavorless, I doubt it was fresh at all. The crab cake was actually really good, and the clam chowder was decent. Clam strips and scallops might earn a mediocre rating. And the one oyster I found amidst my golden brown plate of food was a bit sandy. My review might be tainted by the excellent meal I had at AJ's on the creek the night before, now that place gets five stars! (Had pasta with lots of oysters, no sand). Some of the other reviews on this page recommend the cheeseburger and the eggs Benedict. Perhaps those are delicious, but don't go to Bill's for good seafood.

My husband and I visited Chincoteague Island this past weekend on our way home to New York from Nags Head, NC. We had heard about Chincoteague Islnd and it seemed about the halfway point of our trip so we decided to stay for the night. The hotel desk clerk recommended Bill's Seafood Restaurant and it was within a short walk of our hotel and gave us the opportunity to walk through the quaint little town. I have to say, the food was excellent, however it was overshadowed by the horrible behavior of the staff. Unfortunately we were seated near the kitchen door and we had a full view of the waitress area. I am assuming that the host is also the manager because the same man that seated us started ranting and raving at the waitstaff and then proceeded to start throwing things, including a pot of water, which was steaming, at one of the waitresses. We were appalled. I have heard of small town charm and the politness of southerners, but I can't believe the waitress allowed him to treat her like that. I hope he was fired and I hope she sues!
