Went to Barnicle Bill's for lunch today. The parking there was free in their own lot. The restaurant was fairly busy but they did have a few tables available. They let you pick your own table. We sat by the window and beside the fire. It was nice. The servers came quickly, took our orders and the food came quickly. Service was great.

The food was amazing, the fish sandwich was crunchy yet flaky and fell apart in your mouth in a good way. The club sandwich was exactly how I'd want it and they gave us loads of crispy fries. If you want a cozy diner atmosphere and great service you gotta come here. They also have a great dessert selection and I wished we had more room in our stomachs to try everything.

First time eating here and it felt like I was back at an atlatic ocean-side restaurant like back home on the coast. Will definitely be back.

The food is amazing.the service could use a bit of a shine, there is usually 1 server working the whole floor. tarter sauce is in packets, wish they had fresh or a jar or squeeze bottle, the packets are bad for greasy fingers and the environment. Too bad the pop is not fountain pop and refillable. This place could change a few things. But they are super clean, food is hot and fresh and not to mention delicious. The fish was crispy outside and perfectly cooked inside. They even took us in for dine in about 40 mins before closing time. This spot is ALWAYS busy for take out! We know why!Would definitely eat here again, this was my 3rd time :)

Enjoyed an unexpected meal after a show at the theatre across the street. Nice atmosphere, excellent portions and really good service. A great spot to enjoy a meal at a reasonable price with great friends! See you again soon.

Barnacle Bill's is a must for anyone looking for good food with good prices. My husband and I just happened to find this hidden gem while we were day tripping. We both had the old fashioned breakfast special, and were shocked at the portion size, we could have shared it! The food was quick to come out and the server's were all great, very attentive and friendlyNow that we have tried breakfast, we must return for the fish and chips.

Fantastic fish, good batter, not greasy. Fish held together well too! Chips had a satisfying crunch, not soggy at all like many other places. Slaw was tasty too! Hometown service, always exceeding expectations. Will be back for sure!
