Dockside Willie's - Wiarton

Been a few times and food was good but the last three times we have tried to go they are closed. Just can’t depend on them being open so not sure I will try again.

A nice little outside patio spot to sit and enjoy the view of Bluewater Park and the waterfront in Wiarton. Inside is a bit of a dive, so we recommend being outside to enjoy beautiful weather. Service was friendly. The menu is pretty basic as far as options go (think burgers, wings, nachos, pickle spears), various beers, pop, etc. Nachos and wings were good nachos were perfect size for 1 person, but a bit small portion wise if sharing with others; the chips weren't stale and toppings were fresh and good quantity could use a bit more cheese overall. We ordered 2 mixed drinks the disappointing part of our meal the flavour of the Willie Hoo Hoo was great, just weak in alcoholic content and we do not recommend the Blue Lagoon tasted like it was just grape Kool aid. Otherwise, it was a decent place to refuel and relax.

Wife and I stopped in for early afternoon lunch, only a few patrons, so lots of sitting areas, waitress was pleasant, food came out quick, but small portions and very boring, menu is brutal for choices, I understand Covid hit everyone hard, but sheesh, let’s revamp, great water view, but just ho hum for food, but hey you decide, cheers

After trying to get lunch at numerous closed locations in the Bruce area ,we found dockside was open.so in we went,after the mandatory COVID screening we sat down, menu is rather boring, but we did order burgers, they did come out rather quickly , but nothing great about them or the fries, the beer was cold and our waitress was pleasant, but as for food,portions and cost, not very good, time for an overhaul, but hey you try this place out and you decide , cheers

What an incredibly disappointing experience. I typically review places that are exceptionally outstanding or incredibly terrible. Dockside Willies falls into the incredibly terrible side. Food was so so, although the chicken breast in the chicken Brady sandwich was so tiny and the mushroom caps were blah. But what really stood out was the complete lack of customer service and care.
