I should have read the Yelp reviews before eating here. This place is one step below super basic. I wasn't expecting a life changing experience, but two of our four sandwiches were basically inedible without serious doctoring at home (we ordered takeout). The Ruben and chicken pesto sandwiches were fine. I wouldn't go out of my way to come to Timothy's again just for either of those, but they were at least edible. The "zesty chicken" sandwich was neither "zesty" nor actual chicken. It was a school lunch style breaded "chicken" patty (microwaved?), served on a dry bun with a tablespoon of a sauce and red cabbage mix. If we had been eating there, I would have sent it back - something I've only done a couple of times in my entire life. They also forgot an item from my order, which happens and wasn't a huge deal, but just a flag for folks to check their entire order before leaving if you do takeout. I'm not super picky. I love hole-in-the-wall places. I love basic bar food. But Timothy's really doesn't cut it. We won't be back. read more

Different Cheesesteak #1264. 2 dogs, beers and cheesesteaks for 2 weeks officially kicked off at Timothy's. Special guest eaters Elbert, Sally, Oldest Daughter Jordan and her Karl. We had a very nice experience at Timothy's. Lovely day so we sat outside. I loved our waiter and the self-proclaimed .World's Okayest bartender.' We started with the crab fries, they were very tasty. I just ate Jordan's leftover burger, it was extremely tasty. Luckily everything else was lovely because the cheesesteak was average at best. The meat had a very nice meat flavor read more

All the bas reviews have kept me from coming here. If you're coming looking for a Michelin star meal you'll be disappointed. But the place is a bar with food that hits well above the usual bar fare. Service has been good and everything I ordered was quite good. I've seen none of the negatives that folks have reported. I'll be back! read more

The service was good. The salad and seasoned chicken were delicious and my son loved the fries. It was not too expensive and the food & drinks came out really quick. It was definitely worth it. read more

Worst restaurant experince ever! Had reservations, no host to greet or seat us. I had to go to bartenders to ask about our reservation, tables were all dirty and the one staff member was chilling at a table ignoring us. There was not enough menus given once we were seated, we had to go and get them ourselves,drink service was slow, had to wait to order, one other table visable When appetizers arrived, we had no silverware, plates or napkins, had to ask for them, food was cold by the time we got plates. We had to ask our server to take our remaining lunch order. While we were waiting for our entrees, we needed additonal beverage, we had to go to the bar to get drinks. Food was not good, 2 out of a 10 rateing, chefs were seen eating while cooking, thats discusting. We had to go to the still dirty tables next to us to get salt, pepper and condiments. The only highlight was the bartenders, the bar was clean and the staff on that side was great. Final note the place was dirty from front entrance to restrooms. There were three of four parties standing at the door waiting to be seated and walked out, because they were also ignored. Very disspointed read more

Timothy's has really gone down. It's unfortunate because this used to be a great place to gather during football season. I met up with 2 friends to watch a football game and arrived early to get a good table in the bar area. Much to my surprise, since I had not been there since Fall 21, there was no need to rush. During the entire 1 o'clock games there were only 14 customers in the bar (including us). The menu prices have gone up, which seems a lot. I of course know food has as well, so I understand. Both friends ordered nachos with chicken and they forgot the chicken on one, so it had to go back to have it added. The Crab Dip used to be amazing but it was mediocre at best this day. How with only 14 patrons is the service slow? We had to go over to the bar to ask for service, we had to ask to have our table cleared of dirty dishes and had to ask multiple times for the check. There are way too many other restaurants in Wilmington with great food, service and ambience for me to return here. What We Ate: Crab Dip & nachos Chicken Nachos read more

My wife and I stopped in hoping for a good meal, but everything we were served felt like it came straight from a freezer bag and into a microwave. We started with the cheesesteak egg rolls, which were cut on some odd diagonal bias like they were trying to be fancy--but looks aside, they were completely flavorless. My wife ordered the French onion soup, which sadly resembled dirty dishwater more than anything savory or comforting. The broth was weak, the onions barely present, and the melted cheese on top couldn't save it. I had the boneless chicken wings, and if you've ever had tough, rubbery chicken that's clearly been frozen and overcooked, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Chewing them was a chore. I left half my food untouched. When the manager came over and asked if I wanted a box to take it home, he didn't even flinch when I said no, as if he hears that all the time. Safe to say we won't be back. If you're looking for quality, made-in-house food, this isn't the place. read more

went there for lunch on a weekday, wasnt crowded, they had 3 waiters, but still service was inattentive, slow & forgetful. Sat at an outdoor table. Ordered the Chicken Pesto sandwich with fries. it was bland, barely any flavor, and the fries were thin, lukewarm and barely edible. after i was done i waited 10 minutes for the waiter to bring my check. he had disappeared. had to go into the restaurant and flag down another waiter to get my check. i could have just walked away without paying but im honest. Theyre lucky. Doubtful i'll ever go back. read more

My family went there for Thanksgiving and did not stay. We had a reservation at 4:00. When we arrived there was a line out the door. We waited on line for about 40 minutes. They did not even check to see if we indeed had a reservation. We were seated in the party room. Nothing on the table expect for a tablecloth. Waiter came 10 minutes later and place silverware in pile on the table. There was a long line for the buffet. No clean plates at that time. Tables had dirty plates on them. We did not eat and left right after we got the silverware. I would not recommend going for Thanksgiving. We had Thanksgiving dinner at a diner and had a better experience. read more

Fantastic (made-in-house) chips, salsa and queso and an orange crush that wowed an extremely picky Marylander. Our server, Courtney, was wonderful as well. Great place. read more

The server Rick was very friendly, quick with the service and helpful with the menu. The food was great too.

Steer clear of this place. We were served rancid mashed potatoes. Either the milk or butter used was clearly spoiled. When we complained, no apology from a manager. No big discount. Just a few bucks off for the cost of the side. We will never, ever go back. read more

Would make 0 zero stars if I could. Came in on Sunday night 7pm, was dead, except large party of like 14 people. No host/hostess. Was told by a server to sit anywhere. Sat for 15mins. No acknowledgement from a server or manager. Saw the same with another table. Looked like they had only 2 servers. Severer eyed us at least 4 times but made no effort to come over or do anything. So we got up and walked out. Will never go back. read more

Food was very good. The music was way too loud could barely have a conversation. And I have no problem with music playing but this was over the top. The wings were made perfectly. Nice sever he was definitely new and was running all the tables by himself. I feel bad for him. They forgot my drink. And they offered to take it off bill since I had to remind him. But I said don't worry about it. Poor kid was doing his best just over worked. Would definitely come back. read more

We sat outside and enjoyed the breeze and the view. Salads were good. Baked crab cake was very greasy and devoid of crab. eggrolls were overcooked and greasy. Mashed potatoes looked gray and inedible. Waiter was friendly and appeared to have no help.. Lemon cake was good. The interior was sadly in need of a facelift. read more

I love Timothy's. This is my favorite restaurant of all time. The staff is amazing, Sean & Courtney are the best!!

This review is for rental of the Timothy's hall event space, not for a standard restaurant visit. I rented the front event space with bar a few years ago to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Everything went perfectly at that time so I didn't hesitate to consider Timothy's again when planning a celebration of life event for my cousin. Brandon (the Manager) was really helpful whenever he responded to emails. Rachel wasn't as good at responding fully (answering all questions, providing requested items, etc.) The night before the event Rachel called to inform me they didn't get the linens we had requested but fortunately they had an alternate color that could work with our color scheme. Unfortunately, after confirming several times that we would be let into the venue at 10:00 A.M. to begin setup of our event that started at 11:00 A.M. nobody was in the restaurant at all at that time. We waited outside in the rain (with all of our party supplies) for 30 minutes as we knocked on the door, called repeatedly and emailed. Thankfully, we pulled together as a team and were able to decorate the space down to the last minute when our guests started arriving at 11:00 A.M. The stress however of them not showing up was awful and we didn't receive any apology or offer of a discount. The carpets in the larger hall were really dirty and stained so that was a little embarrassing. When we were trying to set up the music (that was to tie in to the built in speaker system) we had a lot of trouble and the workers that were in at that time said the Manager would need to help with that when she arrived. Eventually we had too many issues with the music and we switched to our backup plan of using our own Bluetooth speaker. The microphone (that we paid to rent) also had issues and even turned all the way up was barely audible. The food was GOOD but it was brought out late. The workers that brought the food out told us Management hadn't even informed them when the food was supposed to be brought out (that was specified previously). The servers didn't check often for drinks but it wasn't a huge deal as we just tracked them down when we needed something. There are separate bathrooms for the larger hall rental. They had super watered down hand soap and they weren't very clean (the trash cans had something brown on top...probably rust but gross looking and should be replaced). We had the rental through 3:00 but the workers were already coming out to change out things for the next event during our time which was again, a little embarrassing as there were still guests in the space. When we went to pay the final bill Rachel had doubled the charge on the microphone and podium rental. I happened to notice that so I pointed it out to her and initially she began to disagree until I pointed out on their pricing it was $25 so she corrected it for us. Overall the errors didn't hugely impact the event for the guests (just us throwing the event), other than the carpets being dirty and the bathrooms being dirty. read more

The service was good but the food was blah. We went to watch the game and it was completely empty at first, which is surprising. I have been there in years (before covid) I ordered a cheesesteak with fries and it tasted like cooked meat. I had to put salt/pepper , mayo, hot sauce ( which I never got after asking) whatever to get it a taste for me to eat. My friend said the wings were good and by the looks of how other people were eating them they liked them too. read more

Stopped in for dinner with family because it was close to hotel, in hindsight, probably should have turned and walked out. Pros: (1) Located just off Markell Trail with good views of the Christina River. Cons: Seemed a little dirty, servers wearing winter coats because of cold inside temps? Maybe 20% capacity on a Sat, night? (red flag), food was below average, and ambiance made it feel like a failing Diner. felt sick the next morning and ruined my entire day. Not recommended at this point... read more

10 people in the restaurant and waited 45 mins for a drink. Food was awful as well. I wish I could give it 0 stars

Great vibe and ambiance. So many possibilities... Unfortunately this divey sports bar doesn't live up to its potential! Largely empty when I arrived, it soon filled up and energy steadily rose. The bar staff were pleasant but largely inattentive. They stood at the far end of the very large bar while my drink glass remained empty. When the food came out, no silverware was or condiments. On most occasions, those are in place as soon as the order is received. The hot chicken sandwich and fries were just ok. TVs everywhere I looked but strangely a DJ booth in the corner blasted music at 11 while we were forced to lip read the commentary on the games. I wished for so much more but it never rose to the occasion. read more

Do not patronize. Had an event the beginning of this month. Major complaints during the event. Called for three weeks no response from manger BRANDON!!

Wanted me TO BRING IN guess receipt for refunds. HORRIBLE SERVICE DONT DO IT!!! read more

We were out exploring the Wilmington Riverfront on a recent Sunday morning and decided to seek out a lunch spot. We were attracted to Timothy's outdoor seating overlooking the water and only ducked inside long enough to alert the hostess we would be sitting outside. So I have no comment on the interior. After looking over the menu, I peeked at Yelp. Whoa, the reviews weren't so good. But a careful reading showed that most of the complaints were about service, not food. And admit it, the service industry has been struggling during the pandemic and restaurants in particular have been hurting for good staff. We were hungry so opted to go with the moment. Our waitress Miya (sorry if I misspelled your name!) was delightful and able to answer several questions about the menu. I choose the Southwest Chicken Salad ($15) which was generous in size and with more tender chicken than I could eat. My husband had the Philly Cheesesteak ($13) with fries. He said the beef was chopped not sliced and it was unusual to be served with sautéed peppers but he liked it. Overall, pleasant service, decent food, and good value. We'd return. read more

This dive bar is located on the Wilmington riverfront. They have a nice big bar area and sitting both inside & outside. I enjoyed the steak & cheese egg rolls and a chicken Cobb salad. The southwest chicken salad is good. This is a good place for lunch. They have a big sign apologizing for slow service due to under staffing but our service was decent and friendly. Good for lunch & happy hour. read more

I have been here once a very long time ago, like ten years ago and I don't remember it being how it was tonight. The location is great but you have to park elsewhere and then walk over. The patio area looked nice but I had been summoned to the bar by a friend. And unlike other reviewers who were left waiting for the bartenders attention, I was asked what I wanted to drink before I could even put my bag down. My friend who had already been sitting there said happy hour was over, it's from 4:30 to 6:30. I got the pomegranate punch. It was okay. They did have specials and tonight (Tuesdays) it was 1/2 off a traditional pizza. The price and the portion was nice but I took issue with the pizza. The menu said traditional. I don't think I'd call it that. The tomato sauce base had onions in it. I don't like onions on my pizza and didn't appreciate finding them under my pizza either. And it was messy. When you tried to pull a slice away the cheese just slid off into a rubberband like oiIslick. And one of the two small plates we got had crumbs already on it. My slice wound up as a contorted piece of bread with a wad of stringy cheese on a bar napkin. I let my friend take the rest. read more

We really sorry we did not read the reviews before going to this establishment yesterday afternoon. They have really gone into the dumps. Beside the food & Drinks being sub par. The menus were filthy (dirty). The Barmaid working paid little or no attention to her job. We never received silverware (a couple of women who she was serving had to tell her that we had no silverware). In addition, when it came time to pay she brought us the wrong bill and even disappeared again, so it took us 10 minutes to get the correct check. We are every generous tippers (usually 30%/50% during the holidays). However, when my girlfriend insists on paying I know the tip is going to be a note on service. This Barmaid got such a note & $2.00 Tip. My advice is find somewhere else to eat on the Waterfront Banks' Seafood Kitchen and Raw Bar, even Iron Hill, but not here. read more

My family and I went for thanksgiving brunch. The service wasn't bad at all, very kind and personable waiter. The food was just not very good, not a large selection. I got a coke and it came with no carbonation and all syrup, absolutely disgusting. One again, not the waiters fault. He then brought us water, my water had a unknown substance floating on the ice, which made me sick to my stomach. I am very upset that I even took a bite from the food here I am disgusted. Once again, great server he was so kind and was so helpful, there was nothing he could've done to prevent these things from happening. read more

Not nearly as good as it used to be. Although the service was good the food and cleanliness has gone downhill. We used to go for the nachos but they are so dry and the salsa is unrecognizable as salsa. The seafood soup was not good and the booth we were seated on was broken. My husband had to fix it before we could sit. And obviously the floor hadn't been vacuumed in a while. Our Timothy's days are over. read more

We had a gigantic group outing show up at Timothy's. They were very accommodating, and prepared both indoor and outdoor options for us. We went inside and they had a whole section devoted to our group. They were understaffed with a sign to that effect, and that always raises a notable eyebrow - are they not paying employees enough? (COVID issues - some workers in the food industry find it pays better to just stay home and collect unemployment.) Moving beyond that, the service seemed slow but we got out of there ahead of schedule so I guess it was just my perception. Beer offerings were mostly the national brand standards, relatively disappointing and nothing on tap from Delaware. You have Dogfish Head right there! Come on! I ended up ordering the hot chicken sandwich because I didn't find anything I really wanted (to be fair, I had just dreamt about apple pie, so that's not so much their fault). The chicken was not hot, unless they meant temperature. It was a nice size but rather flat, so you taste mostly breading in every bite. Fries were good but there weren't all that many on the plate. Overall impression: Overpriced for what you get and better food to be had elsewhere, but they recover a star for dealing with a large group well and that is appreciated. read more
