    Nice restaurant! We went here for lunch and had a nice experience overall. The menu was very large and they have a lot of interesting and unique food items, and some good drink specials. I got the Korean tacos and they were delicious. Service was nice and on point, and the inside felt nice and was clean.

    We dined here at the perfect time. It was busy but not overcrowded. We loved the open kitchen with the ability to see the cooks and food expeditors hard at work. The atmosphere is stunning and has a glistening view of the beautiful Susquehanna River. My husband enjoyed the blackened tuna paired with my huge platter of spaghetti and meatballs. Our server was attentive and cordial alike. Great job guys; hope to see you again soon.

    My experience was great. The Place, The Service, The Drinks, The Food, Clean & Shine Kitchen ✨️ You can see it as you walk to your table. Really hard for me to give 5 🌟 but I think this place could deserve it.

    Great river view, great location, nice service, and huge portion of food. We went here for the river view, and it was truly beautiful with the old bridges. The fried white fish was so huge that I didn’t even need to eat the fries to be full. Also the taste was nice and the fried fish was very crispy. We also tried another dish which I forgot the name. It was also nice, we loved the mixture of mango and other ingredients.

    This is definitely a great place for food and drinks, especially if the weather permits outdoor seating. A relaxing view of the Susquehanna while you enjoy delicious food. The portions are very generous, and the food is truly Delicious! Higly recommend chicken parm, as well as the lasagna. Our server, Cameron, was attentive and very personable. We had a great evening out.

    Stopped in for lunch. Started with River Rocks for an appetizer and then the Korean Taco and The Original Deep Dish. The food was delicious and Dustin was fantastic.

    I had a Jamaican burger, and it was SO delicious. The grilled peppers, onions, and mushrooms on it were possibly the best grilled ones I ever had. The meal is a robust blast of flavor. Yum! The waiter took care of the large party I was part of with ease. Friendly staff! Amazing atmosphere! Loved the open air seating too of course!

    Always an amazing experience at Dockside Willies!! The view is gorgeous. Service is friendly, fast, and our waitress was very attentive to our food-related needs and desires!! The atmosphere is great always. And don't even get me started on the food -- huge portions for the price, it's totally worth it!! I highly HIGHLY recommend the crab pretzel, it is one of the best pretzels I have had in my entire life. I split it with my best friend who said she would drive two hours for the pretzel!! The wings were huge, crispy, juicy, not too greasy. We also had the Old Bay fries -- classic, also delicious. I always love it here, definitely try this place out!!!

    First time visit so thought we would try this place in the afternoon. Greeted and seated upon entering. The place was kind of busy but not to busy around 2pm. Waitress arrived took drinks then food order. Had the blackened tuna and it was presented nice and tasted wonderful. The entire meal from appetizers to dessert was excellent and we left carrying to go boxes. Service was very good and timely. Enjoyed it. Would return again.

    Had dinner there the other night. Wanted to get burgers and stopped here on a whim. My fiancΓ©e wanted to add onion straws to his burger, they did no problem and when he got his burger, it was perfect. He is critical with food because he is a certified chef (schooled in Le Cordon Bleu) but he said that his burger was amazing. He thought so well, he went to the entry to the kitchen and asked to speak to the cook who made it and thanked him personally. The meal was good for me as well, the rocks were good, one meatball was a little cold but it didn't ruin the meal or drinks. Good service as well, nice atmosphere. Will be returning without a doubt.

    Dockside Willies does not disappoint! This place is excellent from the moment you walk in the door! Food, service, drinks and prices! I would recommend this establishment 10x over Vs other restaurants! Friendly staff and food served fresh, hot and quick ❀️

    We love this place for the food and ambiance. I highly recommend the giant baked potatoes and river rocks appetizer. So good! My son is also a fan of the kids’ pizza here. In the Summer, the river view is beautiful. The fall specialty drinks are delish for those that like pumpkin flavoring.

    Nice restaurant with outdoor seating on the water. The food and drinks are always pretty good . Their menu is HUGE!

  • 5/5 Kris G. 1 year ago on Google
    First time here and wasn't disappointed. You get more than enough food. It's hard to pick with so many options. We liked sitting out on the deck. The only problem was, when it started getting dark and they turned on the lights, it attracted all the nats right by our table.

  • 5/5 Pam C. 8 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Stacey K. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoyed Dockside Willies, the place is absolutely beautiful, it right on the water and we were seated outside and enjoyed the view. The food was delicious, the portions were more than enough, I took my daughter for her 18th birthday and she enjoyed. We will definitely visit again.

  • 3/5 Yolonda M. 10 months ago on Google
    My friend wanted to go here for her birthday. The wings were good that I ordered the sweet thia chili wings. My friend ordered the fish and chips. The fish was nice and golden brown and a generous portion but the fries were hard as potato chips not like French fries. They seemed like they had been cold and they re-fried them to heat them up making them hard! The waitress asked if my friend wanted to send them back but she declined. It's very noisy inside. Depending on where your sitting there is a lovely view of the Susquehanna river. The waitress we had was new there she was pleasant but slow and not very attentive. I don't think it's a bad restaurant it depends on what you want to eat, wings, fries, burgers or appetizers not shrimp, steak pasta dinners. This is more of a fast food type restaurant to me.

    Always a great spot for lunch or dinner with friends or clients food is always on point and consistent some originals that never disappoint are the river rocks service as with most places these days is hit or miss today it was a miss

    We came in for a late supper. The server was pleasant, and I asked for extra water when we arrived, and the server lined up several glasses for me. The food came out right away and was perfect. The pulled BBQ baked potato was enormous. My husband was only able to finish half of it. The vegetable Chicago style pizza was piled high with vegetables. Everything was very good. We don't live nearby, but I think we'll be back.

    The food is amazing! It's huge so there's always plenty of seating and even though it looked packed we didn't have to wait to be seated. Their famous "river rocks", (garlic bread balls with meatball, pepperoni & cheese) served with delicious marinara is a great starter for the table! The service was fast, super friendly and on top of everything without being asked! A++
