Day Trip Series: Picture Diary of Barnacle Billy's

Barnacle Billy's Lunch in Pictures, Ogunquit, Maine

Delicious Setting at Perkins Cove


 
This iconic sign greets me every year!


 



Barnacle Billy's has been a family favorite for OVER 40 years! It's in it's 52nd season this year. 


Yes, I've been eating there ALL my life and find it more of a nostalgic place than the cuisine at this point, but the food is traditional seacoast fare! DELICIOUS!



Typical eats you ask? 

It's the usual -  Lobster Roll, Steamers, Clam Chowder and Lemonade.








 
There is something magical about the lemonade!

I can't put my finger on it, but it's so refreshing and yummy.  Not too sweet, JUST right!
 
 
The Lobster Rolls are on the smaller side, but filled with prime lobster meat, chips and pickles.
Then there are the STEAMERS....we call them 'Steeeema's' with our best Bostonian accent....hee hee!
 
These are awesome! Clams, hot water dip to clean off the sand, and piping hot butter bath! YUM. 


My daughters are THIRD generation Barnacle Billy's fans. 

On two separate occasions we have sat DIRECTLY next to President George Bush and his family.  They sit on the corner table on the deck - surrounded by secret service. 

You would NEVER know they are there protecting the former president because they are clearly WORKING, but enjoying their lunches, too.

The Bush estate is up the coast in nearby Kennebunkport - a quick boat ride away. You can see photos of the Bush family throughout the restaurant. 




 
The interior is very rustic and cozy


 
The staff is all young and fun! The service here is impeccable.  You order at the counter, and they call your number when your meal and drinks are ready. There is a full bar service here as well.  
Gorgeous outdoor seating at Barnacle Billy's  - We are often found outside eating on the lovely deck! The Bush Family always sits right in the corner where the American Flag is perched.  Very fitting indeed!



 
This vista always brings me back to my childhood.  This is the spot we would eat most often back when I was a youngster.  The view of Perkins Cove, in Ogunquit, Maine simply takes my breath away - even after 40 years of beholding it with my eyes.


Make Barnacle Billy's your new family favorite! See you there soon!
