Chef Jacque’s Crepe and Chowder Wagon in Maine

"Drove by this food trailer on our adventures in Maine last week. Talked about for a few miles, then decided we needed to turn around and give it a try, knowing that sometimes these small roadside stands are fantastic. We pulled in about 2:45pm, just before the 3pm closing. Chef Jacques side he was out of crepes, but still had chowder, so we each ordered a bowl of clam chowder. In just a few minutes, he ladled up 2 good size servings, maybe a cup and a half? We sat in the shade at one of the picnic tables, and WOW! These bowls were delicious, and loaded with clams! After a few spoonfuls each, we looked at each other and nearly simultaneously said: “best clam chowder I’ve ever had”! Partway thru our bowls, Chef Jacques walked over to see how we liked it - we both told him it was the best clam chowder we’ve ever had. He smiled, and thanked us for stopping by, and seemed genuinely glad we liked his chowder. We listened to a few stories, shared a few laughs, and took this picture as a memory."

"Today's amazing lunch was at a fantastic spot, Chef Jacques Crepe and Chowder Wagon. We had clam chowder which was honestly the best I have ever had in my entire life!!! And I'm a New Englander! I love the tender chopped clams and delicately sliced fingerling potatoes and celery in a creamy clam chowder. It was seasoned perfectly. The crepes were just amazing. My spouse was lucky enough to get the last London broil, caramelized onion and horseradish sauce crepe and I had a Montecristo, turkey ham and Swiss crepe, drizzled with Maple syrup! Chef Jacques is a very friendly man with a good sense of humor too. We would recommend this food truck over most other area restaurants!"

"Forgive me for not taking a picture of the seafood chowder but it was amazing! Filled with fresh fish shrimp and other amazing goodness. Tasted like it was just made. We also had Sneaky Pete's spicy beef picadillo crepe. Flavors were great, spice level perfect. Only wish we ordered a dessert crepes too."

"I love to find a great little gem. I feel especially grateful to have come across this one. Chef Jacques is so welcoming, funny and especially great at what he does. Had a fully loaded breakfast crepe and thought splitting it with my partner would be fine because there was so much. We should have ordered three because it was that good!! All local ingredients. He even told me about the gentleman that makes the sausage. I love locals supporting locals!!! Next time in Wells...I'll be stopping here again for sure!!!"

"I was on my road trip in Maine and stopped by couple small towns to explore. I saw this cute food truck and decided to check it out. The chef prepped it fresh in front of me. Best clam chowder that I’d ever had. Great quality and quantity. The chef’s really nice."

"Crepes. Monte Christo was very good. Worth the wait for this one man show."

"Really cute crepe stand with delicious crepes. I tried the Nutella with fresh strawberries and bananas, and hubby had the good ole originals with cinnamon sugar and butter. We have been coming to Wells for years and have wanted to try this crepe stand. Glad we did! We will be back to try the chowdah no doubt! Thanks to a very hospitable Chef Jacque who made us breakfast this morning"

"SO glad we stopped!! Ordered the Nutella with strawberries/bananas crepe and a strawberry/rhubarb crepe ~ Delicious!! Got some seafood chowder to go and I think it's mostly seafood. Chef Jacque was so friendly and welcoming with lots of locals stopping in to say hi. Definitely recommend if you are in the area!!"
