Great fresh swordfish, lobster rolls, steamers and home made bloody marys with the lobster/shrimp/celery/olive skewer! They serve hot lobster rolls too which you don't find often. Colorful, outdoorsy, casual spot with a locals vibe. Friendly service. Wish I found this sooner...Read More

Lovely location on the water, connected to a scenic boat yard.Service is friendly and competent. Food is ideal for the location - fish, french fries, beer. We ordered fairly unadventuresome stuff ... there are more exotic items on the menu, but we were...Read More

I've been going to Billy's since I was in a car seat. I loved it then and I love it now. It's always a friendly atmosphere; I almost always wind up having a conversation or two with strangers. The seafood is great and the cocktails...Read More

Love the atmosphere and music. Lobsters are always great. Been going for many years. Had a big price increase on IPA this year. Two beers $18., plus $20-$30 for dinner brings the price way up for a very casual restaurant. We won’t be...Read More

The crabs were over cooked. The atmosphere was great. The service was awful and the server was very rude and condescending. We advised at the beginning we needed separate checks. When the single bill came the waitress was very argumentative. Will never go back. Go...Read More

Great seafood restaurant. The stuffing in my lobster was out of this world! Super location in a marina. Our waitress was fantastic handling our table of 14. Not really overpriced. You get what you pay for.Wheelchair accessibility: Has a nice ramp.

Love Billy's as it is so close to the beach and great for the casual dinner while you're still in your flip-flops. The food is good...not fine dining but great choices for kids and a quick bite. I love going for a drink...Read More

This is a great local place because it's cheaper than most of the places you will eat at in Greenport that charge you 15$ for 3 pieces of shrimp. It's off the beaten path because so much of Greenport is overrun by tourists and you...Read More
