Great jambalaya, seasoned to perfection. Oysters were cold, served with fresh horseradish and delicious. The view is spectacular. You’ve got to eat here!

The jambalaya was quite plain, could be a lot better, looked like it came out of a slow cooker, very little sausage in it. The name seemed a little odd. Other than that all else was fine.

The oysters and shrimp are perfectly paired with the atmosphere and view of the marina. We will definitely return and always recommend!

We enjoyed a couple of meals at Big Willy’s in August 2019. Excellent oysters, delicious jambalaya and several exquisite tequila based drinks were enjoyed. Best of all though is Big Willy himself, whose charm and storytelling had us staying late into the night. This was the highlight of our trip.

Willy’s is such a fun little place. We have been here a few times before. It’s a must do!, every-time we boat to Killarney. Will and his staff are fun and personal! The oysters are off the chart fabulous and Will usually has a nice selection from the east and west coasts and are served with fresh ground horse radish .. don’t be looking for catsup or bring your own !! They also have great drinks with choice of beer, wine and mixed drinks .. and don’t miss out on Wills jambalaya, it’s to die for !!

If you make the trek to Killarney without partaking in the jambalaya, tequila, Caesars and jokes at Big Willies; you wasted a trip. Best hospitality on the channel bar none!

Love the jambalaya. Big Willy is more tall than big. Larger than life. Come by for the shrimp. Stay for the conversation!!

Oysters, jambalaya, and rosé were a perfect kickoff to our kayak trip. Highly recommend getting an extra plate of shrimp with your jambalaya, and trust Willy's recommendations on the order of the oysters.

The service alone was 5* but when you add in the personalized service from Big Willy and his team there aren’t enough stars to give. I will be back again !!

Love Big Willy, he is outgoing and so friendly to his patrons. He makes you want to pull up a seat and sit for hours. You must try his Canadian owned tequila it is fantastic. My husband and I hadn't been here for about a year and he remembered us, that is one of the things that makes you want to go back again. Of course the other is that he brings in fresh oysters from all over weekly and they are exceptional.

Had been before and wanted to return. Service from the waitress was not friendly the wait between orders was not acceptable. People from our table actually got up and went to get fish and chips instead of waiting and returned before our second order of oysters arrived. People walked in and were served instantly when we had been waiting 20 minutes for a bowl of Jumbalia and then we were told they were sold out while we watched the two men get bowls of Jumbalia "on the house"..
We will think long and ahed before dropping that kind of money there again.

We stopped here for a drink and stayed for oysters, steamed shrimp and jambalaya. Very tasty and flavorful. Service friendly and helpful. It was a wonderful way to pass time relaxing waterside with our dogs.
