Overview

Chef Jacque’s Crepe and Chowder Wagon, nestled at 1324 Post Rd in Wells, Maine, is a culinary gem for lovers of crepes and hearty chowders. This intimate creperie on wheels offers a unique experience—it’s a one-man show, where Chef Jacques crafts each dish with care and precision right before your eyes. The food truck's humble setup belies the richness and depth of flavors it serves.

The standout dishes are the clam chowders and the diverse range of savory and sweet crepes. Their clam chowder is frequently hailed as some of the best in New England, expertly blending tender chopped clams with delicately sliced fingerling potatoes and celery in a perfectly seasoned creamy base. Seafood lovers find the variety tempting—from a classic Clam Chowder to a robust Seafood Chowder, these offerings bring coastal Maine's bounty to your palate.

Crepe selections range broadly, catering to an adventurous and discerning audience. Savory options like the Monte Cristo, with turkey ham and Swiss cheese topped with maple syrup, and the Blackened Haddock Taco Style Crepe offer inventive spins on traditional flavors. Others, like the Smoked Salmon crepe—with freshly hot smoked salmon rather than typical lox—showcase a thoughtful attention to ingredients and technique. The array of sweet crepes, such as the Blueberry Lemon and Strawberry Banana, balance freshness and comfort in every bite.

Beyond the food, the experience itself stands out. Customers appreciate the patience required for this one-person operation, but all agree the wait is worth it. Chef Jacques’ warm personality adds charm and a sense of connection to each visit. This makes the food truck not just a place for a meal, but a destination for memorable dining on the go.

Ideal for travelers seeking authentic regional flavors as well as locals craving quality and innovation, Chef Jacque’s Crepe and Chowder Wagon bridges traditional French creperie artistry with New England coastal ingredients. It’s a portable restaurant that elevates comfort food into a gourmet experience, proving small spaces can produce big tastes.

As a French person this Crêperie is the best one I’ve eaten at outside of France, maybe even better than most Crêpes I’ve eaten in France. And his Clam Chowder is to die for, if I could give this place 6 stars… I would. ABSOLUTELY worth a detour!!! Merci Beaucoup Monsieur!

As the signage states, this is a one-man show so you'll need to be patient, but it's well worth the wait. My wife had the Nutella, strawberry, and banana crepe and loved it. I had the smoked salmon crepe and it was excellent. The salmon appeared to be freshly hot smoked unlike traditional lox. Two thumbs up!!

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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
