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.

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.

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.
