Service is great and the staff is really nice. Especially Brooklynn and Mickayla. And the food is great

Busy Saturday evening, had a drink at the bar waiting for table, enjoyed that. Sat outside, our server "Aidan" was very friendly and professional! Food quality was EXCELLENT! Such a great evening out! Well done! read more

The food is really good, and it comes out SUPER quick! There are a bunch of options on the menu for all kinds of people, and they even have outdoor seating! It includes a bar, but kids are welcome to sit at the tables! The service is good, but the last time our waiter forgot a lot of items, like tartar sauce and vinegar. We had to remind him multiple times. There was more that he forgot, but that is just one person, I still encourage you to go there. (: :) Even though my experience wasn't the best there 1 time, I've been there a bunch of times, and it wasn't like that. read more

This place is RACIST! Service was terrible, Camilla messed up my wife's order and we feel it was intentional. She ordered a jalapeños burger and what came was a burger with bell pepper and onions. There's no burger on their menu that has bell peppers and onions. When we told our server about the mistake she didn't even act surprised. Lucky they took the order off the bill. Totally ruined our time out and we will not be going back. read more

Stopped by while visiting and was able to be seated immediately. Ordered these poppers that are like little Stromboli balls with on catch, you don't know what you're getting, it's a surprise. I repeatedly got the pepperoni/sausage and cheese, it wasn't bad. Also comes with dipping sauce. Order a pizza w/pepperoni, ham and sausage, wasn't a fan of the pizza. I think it may have been the sauce for me but I loved the crust. read more

Ended up here for lunch with my family and regretted that I had never been there before. If you eat here, do yourself a favor and order the fried zucchini!! The coating was well seasoned and did not fall off as fried coating tends to do. For that alone, I cannot wait to visit the area and order the dish again. Well the zucchini and the pesto sauce! Also, we had a pretty large group and the gentleman that waited on us was amazing! read more

We visited on a busy Saturday and we got seated right away. We asked for an outside table but they didn't tell us that we can't use the umbrella so that was a bit troublesome because we had to get reseated. Their menu has many different options and their appetizers are quite exciting. We ordered both of their popular appetizers which is Crab Pretzel and River Rocks. The pretzel is very delicious and it has actual crab on top. The river rocks are little stromboli balls, taste good as well. We also had wings and fish and chips. Wings and fish are flavorful and the portion is huge. They have a long list of cocktail and their drinks look pretty. Waitor was fast and friendly It's a nice place for lunch/dinner. It has a little bit of everything for everyone. I would definitely come back read more

Came here Tuesday with my two young children, parents, and husband. We were able to sit almost immediately inside which worked for us. Can't remember our servers name but she was incredibly attentive and patient, especially with my mom and kids. The menu here is massive and honestly perfect for just about anyone Kids got kid meal pizzas, which were pretty huge for the price. My husband got a deep dish pizza which smelled really good, and my parents got the steaks. The side of veggies I got to taste: garlicky and delicious. I got the blackened mahi tacos. They had a hot slaw and mango salsa, and were the perfect balance of sweet and hot. They also were served with a wild rice which was totally unexpected and really perfect. Afterwards almost our whole table got ice creams. Overall, a really tasty meal in a cute dining room with stunning views. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed. read more

This place was absolutely delicious. I'm from CA and I got to try some dishes I've never even heard of before and they were so good! We got the crab pretzel which I can't stop thinking about. The softest pretzel with a crab dip layer on it?! Yum!! We also ordered the River Rocks which were like tasty little pizza bites. I order the Crab Cake sandwich with the old bay fries and it did not disappoint. It was a fun environment with good music and lots of screens to watch the games. Only reason it wasn't a 5 star review is because although the server was nice, we never got refills on our empty glasses of waters and drinks. Aside from that, this place is a must try!! read more

PROS: the staff was nice and the food tasted good. The menu variety and prices were unbeatable and the atmosphere was the best I've seen in the area. The outside overlooks the river while inside gives you a southern Vibe CONS: outside tables were being attacked by wasps. I didn't see any wasp traps on the outskirts of their deck so it doesn't look like they're doing anything about them OVERALL: if you don't mind bugs you can sit outside, but regardless, if you're in the area I suggest coming here. Ask for the server Andrew, he made the experience even better read more

Not only was our waitress a total moron (never succeeded in bringing me silverware; a coworker had to grab some for me from the bar!) but I ordered the Italian Stax and they charged me $1.25 for MARINARA SAUCE which COMES with the order! It's nice to sit out on the water but the service is deplorable and the food sub par. read more

We've been coming here for years. We have family get togethers, dinners for just my wife and me, or lunch. The River Rocks were so good that my wife orders them for her entree, so the last time we went she ordered them and I ordered the orange chicken bowl. The food came out, and the River Rocks were stone cold in the center. She sent them back and we waited, and waited, and waited some more. She told me to eat so mine wouldn't get cold. The point of going out to eat was so we could eat together! Her River Rock came out but they just weren't very good, but my dinner was great even though it was cold from the wait. We had both packed up to take home and complained to the manager in the way out. She didn't care. I suspect that since Karns is selling frozen river rocks now that the restaurant is just using the machine made frozen ones now instead of making them fresh. Very disappointing and we won't be back. read more

Noah the server was extremely rude, food was decent. Other than that enjoyed the view on the deck.

Service was good. Food was really good. I ordered the old bay fries (I think that's what they were called), small pepperoni pizza and these pizza ball type things (again, forgot the name of them). Portions were big. When the fries came out, my initial response was "dam!! In a bucket!?" lol. Only downside for me, their TVs were hung over other tables, which made it awkward cuz I could see in my peripherals that they may have thought I was looking at them. If I'm ever back in PA, I'll definitely make my way back here. read more

Do not read too much into the overall rating, I am still in a bit of a restaurant slump. However, with this restaurant, I might be starting to come out of it. I had been referred to try here after hearing that the prices are fair and the food is good. The food is good, for a tropical vibe meets a country dive atmosphere. I first had to try their Crab Pretzel. The pretzel is delicious, but is slightly heavy on the meat and cheese. It is a big one too, maybe too big. If you are a light eater, this is good enough to have as a main course alone. Next, I had their Mango lemonade and their Big Willie burger. The former is delicious in every way. It has great mango flavor. As for the burger, the meat, bacon, and everything in it harmonizes well. My complaint is that the bread is too dense. You have to get through 3 inches of bread just to eat this thing. I would also come here early as this restaurant fills up fast. For good reason. The service is fast, the staff is friendly, and the views of the river add to the tropical vibe that this restaurant strives for. I have also heard that they have a sister restaurant, Duke's, which is quite similar to this, but a different theme. Maybe this a good sign of good times ahead. read more

The service is always great. The food is fantastic and worth the money. There mix drinks they have many to choose from!

Dockside Willies is associated with the nearby Duke's Riverside overlooking the Susquehanna River in Wormleysburg, PA. The restaurants share the same ownership and (largely) the same menu. Dockside Willies has a nice selection of American bar favorites...burgers, wings, pizza, etc...so there's likely something for any taste. The restaurant was recently renovated after a fire and the interior is gorgeous with amble space and lots of exposed wood. Dockside Willies also has a deck for outdoor dining. The beer list is decent, mostly domestics with a few crafts. I had the Italian calzone for dinner. It was large enough to be shared between two diners and was reasonably tasty. Unusual (to me) was that it also included mushrooms--which I missed when read the description. Why three stars? I sat at the bar on a Tuesday late afternoon/early evening intending to have dinner and drinks. The large bar was not crowded when I arrived and appeared to be adequately staffed with two bartenders. Service was not very attentive (I twice found myself with an empty glass) nor particularly friendly. I'm willing to make plenty of allowances in the COVID era but found myself actually laughing to myself about the bar service. At one point, I had empty water and beer glasses in front of me--with a bartender standing three feet away, back turned, eyes on the TV (and quickly checking their phone). I had the distinct impression they didn't want to be there. Interestingly, as more folks sat at the bar I didn't notice any additional deterioration in the already "leisurely" service. Pick your visits carefully as Dockside Willies seems to be very crowded on Harrisburg Senators game nights or pleasant weather days that attract throngs to the deck. read more

If you want good take out food.. DO NOT order from here! The food is thrown together, undercooked, and the bartenders are rude! We ordered the fish and chips and a pizza. The pizza is undercooked and sloppy and the fish and chips is overcooked and tastes like it was cooked in old grease! Then it was thrown together and when we got home it was a big pile of greasy mush! It was disappointing and disgusting! Oh and did I mention the bartenders are rude! read more

We will definitely be back! read more

We are new to the area and chose this restaurant since it has views of the river. We dined inside, since it was a bit too warm out for us today but the majority of guests were outside. We started off with the crab pretzel, which was highly recommended by our server. I definitely wouldn't order it again - I love crab but this smelled awfully fishy, like tuna fish. The pretzel itself was dry and it cost almost $15. I got 10 wings for my meal - I wanted garlic and BBQ mixed sauces on all of them but they came split 5 and 5, which was fine. The wing pieces were large for the most part, but some were those awkward tiny stumpy wings that you get sometimes. Almost all of the wings had those bones that break and get shards all over so they were kinda hard to eat. The garlic wasn't very flavorful and the BBQ was different than I'm used to, but they would've tasted good mixed. The celery was crisp and ranch was good. My fiancé got a regular cheeseburger and it was divine. He ordered it medium and it came out medium rare, but he still ate it. He got old bay fries as his side and wow - they did not skimp on the portion size. Next time I'm definitely getting a burger. For $50 for a late lunch for the two of us, with a great view of the river, it was nice. But I wouldn't order the crab pretzel or wings again. read more

Getting tired of the "rules" at DW's...couldn't get a side of O rings (could have on fries) - said I had to get a full $12 appetizer. Couldn't get a lunch size salad even though it was lunchtime...not on weekends. Couldn't use a Visa gift card...VISA! I eat out EVERY day for lunch and take my wife out for dinner at least twice a week. We have A LOT of choices on the West Shore...Bye, Bye DW's...the food may taste good but your business sense and customer service SUCKS! No more!!! read more

Newly renovated, friendly staff. This is one of my dad's favorite places on the West Shore. It's not far from I-83 at Lemoyne/New Cumberland and worth a couple minutes extra if you are looking for a place off 83. Plenty of free parking right across the street. Portion are very large. I've been here twice and had the deep dish pizza and a skillet meal. I enjoyed both. Great selection of beer on tap for Untapped fans. I have had the same server, Jayda, both times. He was very attentive and took good care of us. read more

Not sure if this "outdoor" bartender (blond female) was new, but she was EXTREMELY slow. It took approx 20 MINUTES (16 minutes on my stopwatch plus the additional few minutes before I started to time her) to be noticed at the bar. Unsure of her name, but she had a small tattoo on the inside of her left bicep. This may not be entirely her fault IF she was new, but in those instances, she should definitely have some backup help. She seemed to be very focused on processing sales slips that were severely backed-up and could not focus on serving her customers. This is not so much a critique of her as it is on the overall multi-tasking and management of the outdoor/rear bar station by management. read more

Minus one star for long wait times for food and slow service when the restaurant isn't busy. Went here again for lunch last week (not my choice) and waited a considerably long time for the food to come out. Over 30 minutes is a very long time unless you're in a 5 star restaurant. This ain't that place by a long shot. I hoped this place would get better after the remodel, but it's just an updated building with the same lacking service and decent food. Never coming here if I'm paying, but glad to have my lunch or dinner bought for free. I can suffer through that... read more

I had high hopes for this place because it's very nice looking from the entrance, to the outdoor seating. When you walk in you're greeted with views of a high functioning kitchen and hot plates lining up and being brought out to tables. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. The table we got for our group was great and overlooking the water from inside the restaurant. Our server was very nice and stayed on top of everything the whole time we were there- we never had to wait for anything. The food however was just disappointing. Many plates lacked salt but mostly it just didn't taste good. It tasted very basic. Even though the place had great vibes and service, I wouldn't return simply because the food was not good. If they could get the flavors and dishes to be as great as everything else is I'd love to come back. I'd recommend this place for waterside cocktails maybe. But the food is disappointing. read more

The food is good but I only like a couple things here so I get sick of the place sometimes. I normally get a salad and it is good but I never get enough dressing. The service is good but if you ask for water it takes forever to get it. The seats are always dirty when my family and I sit down so they always have to wipe it down again. I will come back, but it is definitely not my favorite. read more

Food is great. HOWEVER they do not participate with UberEats or Doordash. Their online ordering for takeout doesn't work and good luck getting someone to answer the phone. When we finally got thru they told us to order online and when we said it didn't work, they put us on hold and never picked up again. Horrible service. read more

After a day of shopping and running errands my family and I decided to stop at this restaurant to try something new.

Great atmosphere here. Pretty nice deck along the river they rebuilt and they're expanding to a Mexican style place next door as well. Lots of bars and seating, great spot to go see some boating, music, or before after a Senators game. We were seated very quickly on a Friday night around 6pm, and got our food within 40 mins so that was great. Good selection of drinks/beers, and a huge food menu.

First time here since they reopened. The new interior bar is big. Menu looks the same. Everything looks nice. Bartender Jeremiah was nice. Pizza was good. Glad they are reopened. Look forward to nice weather and exterior bar and views of the river. They have a rewards program as well. (Not sure how it works and if it is new or not). I took a star off because when I called the other day the person on the phone wasn't that nice. I asked if there was a wait and she said we don't state wait times over the phone. Which I don't know seems weird. Cause you also can't make reservations. Patty (bartender) was nice too. Oh and I got touched by a car which didn't stop at the crosswalk when we were leaving. Which is way messed up. They need like flashing lights or something. read more
