    3.5 stars - We've been eating at Twilley's for a few years now. I wrote a review a couple years ago, so this is an update. Hot dogs really are their specialty and where they excel ... many different choices and everything is fresh and delicious. That said, I decided to try a special Hawaiian chicken sandwich our waiter told us about. He described it as a grilled chicken breast with sliced pineapple and a coconut spread. I decided to order it, and when it came out, I was surprised it also had bacon, cheese and pickled onions. The chicken was delicious and juicy but the overall sandwich was not successful. Everything slid around and the roll fell apart before I was even halfway through, so I finished eating it with a knife and fork. Hubby had a Detroit style dog which contained chili, cheese and diced sweet onion - very good! We brought home an Ol Goat dog (a tad too much goat cheese) plus something called the cha-cha wrap for my daughter: Buffalo style chicken with pico de gallo and a side of blue cheese. That was another miss: some of the chicken was chewy & tough, you got the heat of the buffalo sauce, but none of the flavor. The predominant flavor was pico de gallo. They used to automatically serve chips with their hot dogs, but now they only come with a pickle. Chips are $3 as are french fries. We had a couple of drinks which were very good: a margarita and grapefruit crush. It's a small place with a cool vibe and nice-sized bar. There are also a few tables out back overlooking the canal. We'll definitely be back but will stick with ordering what they do best: hot dogs!

    How have I not known about this lil' gem of a place?! I had one of the best hotdogs I've ever had! (They rivaled ones at Wrigley Field) Not only is the actual hotdog beefy and tasty, but the hotdog bun is insanely delicious. The chili on the chili dog had lots of flavor and the mahi mahi tacos had nice fat pieces of fish. The place isn't huge but it has a nice bar and a fun beach atmosphere. Definitely going back on our beach week next year!

    crabby hot dog

    Very nice area (cute small plaza) and small classic coastal dock themed bar/restaurant. we will welcome with very nice staff, which were able to serve us well and quickly. I got myself the crabby dog, which was actually pretty good (I personally will lessen down the cream cheese content, but that could be just me). definitely would recommend someone who is a fan of hotdog because their hot dogs were very good quality.

    Wrightsville dog with hand cut fries
    Matthew U.

    Visited Twilley's Willys on our way back to Dewey Beach from Ocean City. I got to pick the spot and since I was in the mood for a hot dog we made our way here. Twilley's is located in a small shopping plaza that is a bit of a maze to make it through. Once you are there, you have the ability to dine inside, or outside. When we first got here, we had all intentions to dine outside. We made our way through the interior to the patio/deck area and found that we would not be dining outside. In fact, we would be dining inside because everyone else that showed up before us had the same idea. Wasn't bad, we had the interior dining room to ourselves, but it wasn't great either. This is basically a seat yourself place and you go about it in a way of hopes that you will be getting service. The seating, if you seat yourself along the wall, is a bit uncomfortable. as it looks like pallets were used to design the seating. We were, at first ignored for a bit, then we had someone bring us menus and take our drink order. We were then again ignored. With a different server approaching the table asking us again about a drink order. We said that we had placed our drink order, but restated it. Drinks finally arrived and we placed out food order, we didn't want to take a risk of not being seen again for a bit. The water tasted like it came from a garden hose, but I can't complain about free water. For my food I went with Wrightsville Dog with hand cut fries. The Wrightsville is a dog topped with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions. Minus the slaw and it was a call to home for me. It made me miss being back home, and I mean home home. This thing was massive. I mean when it came out it was a mound of a hot dog. With all the toppings it was very hard to even hold. I had to cut it in two so I could tackle it. I feel like I unhinged my jaw at one point to open it wide enough to take a bite. The flavor was all there. it was amazing and downright delicious. No worries if you have little bits that fall off the dog, just used it for your fries, or an end of the meal bite. The food was satisfying, and took me back home. However, the service was less than stellar. I was a bit upset by the fact that we were forgotten. I feel if we sat outside we would have gotten better service. However, inside you have to contend with the bar. On top of that, you may have to contend with stray tomato slices as well, watch your step.

    Hot Dogs

    Great little "locals" place with outstanding food & drink! Sure, hot dogs get the top billing, but try the great homemade soups & the fish tacos are the BEST! Enjoy!

    Detroit Dog

    If you look up the definition of hidden gem in the dictionary, you will see a picture of Twilley's Willys. Nestled in the village of Fenwick, this place has some of the best hot dogs I've ever had. With that being said, I ordered the Detroit dog and fries. To engage, the Detroit dog was topped with mustard, meat sauce, cheese, and chopped onions. Knowing that, the hot dog was excellent. To explain, the hot dog was juicy, tender, and had tremendous flavor. In addition, the meat sauce was flavorful and wasn't too spicy. Moreover, the bun was wonderful and elevated the dog to a different level. To enumerate, the bun was a sub roll and it was toasted to perfection. This was simply a phenomenal hot dog. In the same light, the fries were very good as well. To put into perspective, the fries were hand cut and tasty. To breakdown, Twilley's Willys is a hidden gem with some of the best hot dogs I've ever eaten.

    Chicago dog with a veggie dog
    Anushka M.

    Huge variety and love that they have the option to sub with veggie dogs! Some of the stuff we ordered were the chicken cheese steak, cha cha wrap, Chicago dog, Kansas City dog, Detroit, and the crabby. Everyone loved their orders and they are huge! Definitely worth the price.

    Dirty Dog

    Love Twilley's Willys. We ordered the crabby fries, Baltimore style dog, the Dirty Dog, and chicken tenders. The crabby fries were the best crabby fries i've ever had. There was so much crab dip with a good amount of crab in it. And the fries were clearly homemade. The Baltimore dog and the dirty dog had a lot of toppings. The only thing we didn't care for were the chicken tenders. They were fine but lacked salt.

    $11 | Dirty Dog - chorizo, pico, wiz, & cilantro-lime crema. EXTREMELY good!
    Jason W.

    Customer service - 5 out of 5 Wait time - 5 out of 5 Cleanliness - 5 out of 5 Ambiance - 5 out of 5 Food quality - 5 out of 5 What a perfect spot to stop for a quick bite before heading into OCMD. I really wanted to try the "Dirty Dog" and I must say... the chef who create this dog is a culinary genius. The fresh pico & cilantro lime crema, helps cut down the greasy chorizo. The layers of flavor paired nicely with each other. No one flavor overpowered the next. We only did carry out so we did not see the main dining area, but the interior and exterior of what we did see was very clean. Customer service was very nice. With a perfect score of 5 out of 5, I give this restaurant an A+

    My Sis and I were craving a good chili dog like up in North Jersey. We read YELP reviews and decided to give it a go. We are familiar with Fenwick Village so it was easy to find. From the moment we walked in we were pleasantly greeted and seated. There are several tables inside and the bar but they also have some seating outside. Our server Rob was awesome and so friendly and helpful. He even tried getting the NY Yankees game up on the one of the TVs. Excellent service! The atmosphere was very comfortable and reminds me of a friendly neighborhood bar. I ordered the Detroit dog with the chili, shredded cheddar and raw onions. Served up in a sub roll with a split 1/4 lb. very good tasting hot dog. Before coming in I had the mindset that one may not be enough for me. LOL! It was so filling. The hand cut fries that I upgraded to were delicious as well. My only wish for a future visit would be a bit more flavor on the chili not much, just a bit. The fries with a $3 up charge could have been more plentiful. Cannot wait to to come back and try another dog.

As soon as we pulled in we noticed the lack of parking, honestly at no fault to the restaurant despite that being a complaint amongst reviews. I popped out and sent my bf on his manly duties to fight for a parking spot while I secured a table. I walked in and was immediately sat along the windows to the left of the hostess table. Granted, we are a party of two which absolutely helped a quick seating. Immediately our waiter greeted me and very kindly offered to either take my drink order or return when my bf arrived. In the middle of that time he dropped a pitcher of water, and rounded back very quickly once my bf was seated. We did a round of drinks and an appetizer to start. Ordering our meals halfway through our app. We stuck to non-alcoholic drinks as it was the back end of our trip (lol), so no review of the cocktails although a reliable source complimented the marg! We ordered the fried brussel sprouts as our app, there was no shortage of bacon nor balsamic glaze and we really enjoyed! For our meals we both ordered the steak fajitas with corn tortillas, and I asked for extra peppers. It ended up being a $2 upcharge however, I feel like I am always shorted veggies when I'm down the beach and they gave quite a generous amount. As for the fajitas/steak, it was very well seasoned and very tender. Ultimately we had enough leftover to take home and throw in a wrap for lunch! For the cost, I felt the portions were quite fair. Overall I think we will absolutely be back. Highlights are the service and the value of the meal. I've had some very awful experiences with restaurants in OC and this place definitely gave me some hope. I would love to come back for their awesome sounding happy hour, as well as to try some tacos!

I'll give the restaurant a 4 star review for the sauces and food combinations. The fish and pork chops were an excellent choice for my guests. Unfortunately I ordered the flank steak, medium rare. I didn't send it back which would have ruined the mood of the dinner, but the pork chop took 25 minutes to prepare. The flank steak came out luke warm and was not at all tender. It would have been better medium or medium well as it was a bit rubbery. The server should have warned me when she indicated to my guest that she preferred the pork chop. She was a bit abrupt and talked too fast. The Parker house rolls were a bit dry, not warm and tough.
