    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
    Amanda P.

    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.

    Cute place in Fenwick! There is indoor and outdoor seating with a decent sized bar. The staff was super nice including our server. She was quick to get refills, answer questions, etc. The drinks were cold and refreshing. The food was good and the portions were of good size. I thought prices were fair. Overall, we liked it here and would come back.

    $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+

The vibes here are immaculate - this is what you imagine when you think coastal taqueria. From the wooden building to the bizarre layout, this is it. You can't go wrong with that! The hot sauces are homemade, the salsa tasted fresh, everything from a condiment perspective was good. Now again was it authentic, no, but come on... If you have to order two things I would get the corn appetizer - it is honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten in delaware, and then the surf and turf burrito because it is epic! Everything I tried was good. The drink situation could use some help...the margarita was fine, but i really wanted neat mezcal and that was incomprehsible to them to the point that I ended up with a mezcal margarita that had anejo mezcal in it...sad We'll be back!

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!

We ordered steamed large crabs; it was juicy, and unbelievably sweet--you could taste the freshness. You break the claws and the juice literally drips out--so good. The oysters? Also insanely fresh. Just wow. The service was excellent as well. While it's not a full-service restaurant, the staff were incredibly friendly. They even welcomed my dog on the outdoor patio and brought him a bowl of ice water. The owner was kind and shared that everything is fresh, caught daily, and made to order--which explains the wait time for the steamed crabs and also what sets them apart from other places. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in the area and highly recommend it to anyone who truly appreciates top-quality seafood.

The casual seating and plenty of shaded outdoor space is a huge draw too! It's such a nice casual counter service, perfect for a family dinner after a beach day. However, I felt like the portions are cheap and the flavor is severely lacking. I think they cook everything and then add seasoning after cooking instead of cooking with it. I was chocking on tons of dry seasoning. With the amount of seasoning, it also lacked salt, so even though it had tons of seasoning, it still seemed bland. It was unreal. I won't be returning, but for cracking crabs and having something else to order for the non crab people at the table, it a good choice. I would not choose this place for getting a fish dish.
