We stopped in to eat before going to K1 racing, it was worth the stop! Buffalo blue cheese fries are a meal on their own. Lasagna, incredible! Their own breaded chicken tenders, amazing with every bite! My son loved his chicken parm and couldn’t finish the large portion, even though he is a growing teenager.

The restaurant was packed on a Saturday night with a small wait for two. The host that walked us to the table, a scrawny dark haired white boy with a very very NAD attitude rushed to the table and we could barely keep up because he zoomed through a crowd of people. He threw the menus down. I said thank you, but he gave me a dirty look and walked away. My husband and I laughed because it was a crazy little unexpected event. The server was Aiden. He was great!! But I noticed the server sections are all over the place. Plus they double sat him numerous times. He was able to keep up though. The hosts rei need work on many things. The crab pretzel was so good!!!!! The Philly cheese steak was pretty good, but barely had any meat in it. It was weird! The fries were really good too!! We went at night, so there was no view. It would be better during the day. Overall, it was good. Aiden made it better!

Dockside Willie’s blew us away. The speed of service alone was impressive, the food came out fast, hot, and exactly right. For how much you get, it’s a fantastic value, especially considering how good the food is.
We ordered a mix of things, and everything was delicious, but the burnt end mac and cheese was AMAZING, easily one of the standout dishes of the night. And as Eastern Shore natives, we’re very picky about crab so trust me when I say the crab dishes were legitimately excellent.
The menu is extensive, which I normally side-eye, but they somehow manage to execute everything well. Our server, Amanda, was wonderful, super personable while still being totally professional. She made the whole experience feel relaxed and easy.
If you’re thinking about going, get there early. This place fills up fast and for good reason.
We’ll definitely be back — not just for one dish, but for the whole experience.

My friends (2) and I hit up Dockside Willies for their happy hour and fall Sunday special which featured a 1/2 price cheese pizza (16 inch & $9.50) and boneless wings (mild) with blue cheese and celery for $9.95. Modelo draft was $3. Goose Island Ipa draft $5.50. Victory Peach Pier was between $5 – $6. We split the food and even had 2 slices leftover! Overall it was excellent value but next time – I’ll stick with domestic beer for even cheaper prices!

Our server was absolutely amazing! Atmosphere was awesome too! We had tacos and cheeseburger sliders. The portions are ridiculous in the best of ways. This place does not disappoint!!!!

Fourth time I’ve visited- fourth time I’ve left happy! I have yet to have a meal here that hasn’t been top-tier. Portions are generous for the price (this bone-in ribeye plate was $35!) Get the River Rocks, they’re perfect!

Joann is one of the most delightful servers I have had in such a long time. She balanced hustle with friendliness and grace and her zest for life was inspiring. The food hit the spot and the place was cute, we will definitely be back! Great prices, too! Thank you so much!

Food, the view, and great waitresses and waiters. They really care about making the customer and the experience great. I’m in town for work and have stopped here now 2 of the 3 nights. Seating outside is spectacular.

We went here on 10/24/2025 for a nice dinner.
To start off our night, we had some UNEXPECTED visitors under our table!! We sat in the enclosed dining area beside the river (they have it closed in now for colder season with heaters). As we sat there waiting for our food to arrive we watched multiple MICE run around from table to table, 1 of which climbed up the table legs behind ours and 1 ran across my fiancés shoe! At one point our waitress came over (after seeing me take pictures) and she knew exactly what I was taking pictures of! It all made sense now as to why she walked around stomping her feet from time to time around the tables!!! She said they have a pest company and are working on dealing with the mice issue. She reassured me that the mice were not in the kitchen area, after I stated my concerns with the mice and our food that hadn’t come out yet. Instead of sending a manager over to speak with us, another waitress arrived and stated the same thing about the mice infestation.
HOWEVER…
We ordered Wings for our dinner and River rocks as our appetizer . The wings we ordered had okay flavor, but came out dry…thankfully we had ranch to dip them in. The river rocks we were happy with.
After our dinner we received our bill and still had yet to be seen by a manager or had anything taken off our bill as a courtesy for trying to be understanding of the situation. Very disappointed by DockSide Willies!!!
DO BETTER!

This is my second time here. The first time I came during the summer and got a margarita pizza. It came out with an insane amount grease and half inch cut tomatoes on top. Today we came in sat down and waited 20 minutes to get our drinks ordered. Waited another 15 mins to get them. For food I got the burnt end Mac and cheese. Waitress dropped the food for the table, no big deal accidents happen and it’s understandable. Took her another 10 for anyone to let us know that our food was dropped, mind you we have already been waiting almost an 1.5hrs for food. When our food finally was served our burnt end mac&cheese was far from burnt ends, they were maybe cooked ends. By the time our waitress finally asked how the checks would be split it had been another 20 minutes since we had finished our food. We asked to speak to a manager about the level of service we had received and received a side of attitude with it. We were told by the manger that there was nothing that they could do but offer a free desert. Moral of the story if you have all day to spend waiting for food that would’ve been easier to cook at home and subpar service Dockside Willie’s is the place to go.
