    I’ve had better food there before and again the server rushes us out of there. There’s no one waiting and insist on asking us 50 times. Do you want anything else?

    Harpoon Willie’s was absolutely fabulous. The service, the ambience, the food, were just great. After a lovely dinner, we sat at the bar and listened to some live music. Perfect ending to an amazing night. And the manager was outstanding. Matt couldn’t have been nicer. Highly recommend Harpoon Willie’s, whether for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. Great place!!

    We’ve been coming here off and on for 12 years bc of family nearby. The service last nite was top notch as usual. The food was not good. Black, pan-fried crabcakes were very fishy, not jumbo lump crabmeat as described on the menu. Bland, plain roasted potatoes with no herbs or crispiness and a horrible piece of key lime pie that we could not even finish. Spinach and sherbet were good. So disappointed in the food!
