We love the vibe in summer in the deck, but “off-season” we don’t venture out that often. Tonight we took my in-laws because dad was in the mood for fried shrimp. Wow! What a fantastic meal. Mom loves oysters and really enjoyed the local Del-Mar-Va offering. We all enjoyed the rockfish bites which were big chunks of fish, lightly battered and fried to perfection. Our meals of Shrimp & Chips, Whiskey Dip, Crabcake and Salmon BLT were all fabulous. Flavors and preparation were done to perfection! Kudos to the team for the food and Regan for fantastic service. Sorry we didn’t get photos. Too busy enjoying the meal and conversation.

Loved it when it was Crabbys, love it even more as Dolly Spankers. We had a wonderful meal there few days ago. We had the rockfish bites and I had Salmon BLT. So, yummy and delicious drinks too. Stevie was a bartender and we just love her. TRY the winter drink specials.

If you are visiting Dolly Spankers in Delaware City be sure to ask for Reilly!
Reilly is the best bartender on BOTH sides of the Mississippi and will be sure to make your experience top notch.
The food at Dolly Spankers is worthy of a Michelin star and the atmosphere is the perfect waterfront vibe—relaxed, lively, and full of coastal charm where the breeze off the river, great music, and friendly faces make it easy to settle in and stay awhile.

First time trying the new menu and we really liked it! More options than when Crabby Dicks. Food and service were excellent. We liked that the regular menu was available along with the brunch menu. We will definitely be back!

Food is good and I would return. Prices are a little on the higher side and portions are not huge but they are satisfactory. Service was attentive. Dogs are allowed outside so be prepared for some barking at times lol.

Food was overpriced for the portion and quality. While it tasted good, presentation left something to be desired for especially for that price.
Location is nice, especially if you get a window seat and can see the boats. Or if its nicer out can get patio seating.
The saving grace was the service. Our server DeAndre, was amazing. He was extra attentive and did an amazing job taking care of us throughout.

The brisket was tender and full of flavor without the sauce! Corn bread servings were huge and the shrimp and grits appetizer was out of this world. Great food, staff, and atmosphere; 10/10 would eat there again!
