    Soggy fries
    Madison N.

    Meh. Was excited to come try this out because of their gluten free options but was very underwhelmed. Walked in and was not greeted so I just stood there awkwardly till a guest (that's right) helped me out. Just ordered some of their GF small fries. Waited 15 minutes for French fries. Only to get them and they be about an inch long and extremely soggy. The fries were falling apart in my hand. It was super disappointing and couldn't even eat much of them. Yuck

    Always a delightful burgers at this location. It's counter service so pretty much no-frills. The orders go in fast and come out quickly. A lot of people enjoy the french fries but I'm not necessarily a big fan. Don't expect crispy fries. A bit soggy tho tasty. Definitely a place to hit once in a while as you drive through York. I'll at least make sure I hit it annually as I'm in that area.

    After every trip to Ogunquit, we make it a tradition to stop here for a bite before our three-hour drive home. It's the perfect way to fill up for the journey ahead! At first, I thought, "Why stop at a burger place when you're in Maine? We should be eating lobster!" But once I tried my first burger, I was hooked--just not like a fish! Their burgers are incredibly juicy and generously portioned, and their fries are just as amazing--crispy, golden, and the perfect complement. On our most recent visit, the line was out the door, and I waited 30 minutes for my food. But let me tell you, the wait was absolutely worth it. If you're in the area, don't skip this spot--it's a hidden gem that'll have you coming back trip after trip!

    Wild Willy's hamburger restaurant in York, Maine.
    Mickey O.

    We have been going to Maine for vacation for the last 15 years or so, and have driven by Wild Willys many times without ever stopping here. This year we decided to try it. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but clean. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and we chose to eat outside. The staff was friendly, the food was decent, but nothing I would drive out of my way for. The biggest negative would be the location of the restrooms, they are in the basement, and you have to watch your head or you'll bash it on a low beam.

    Bullseye burger
    Krista R.

    This was completely lackluster. 70 bucks for two burgers, a small fry, a hard seltzer and a beer? Get outta here. I ordered my burger medium rare but it was beyond well done, and it lacked flavor. The fries were limp and lacked flavor, too.

    Outlaw with fries.

    First time here. Met a nice older gentleman on the way in, looked like a regular so asked him what was his favorite thing to eat. He recommended the outlaw so I went with that. Ordered then found a table, love the way they bring out the food. Burger was delicious and fries were crispy and delicious. Would come back next time in town. Outdoor seating is an option and family friendly.

    Bison BBQ burger
    Caleb M.

    First time revisiting in over 7 years and I have to say I am still impressed. It's a spot you order at the counter before finding a seat. Wanted to get a bison burger like I did before but they happened to be out today. Their Pineland Farms Natural Beef patties made for some tasty burgers though! I think the quality and grass fed aspect and knowing you are supporting a local farm make it worth the upgrade cost honestly! They have a good variety of options for burgers (can substitute chicken or bison when available on any burger too) and some tasty fries as well. The interior is still beautifully painted with nature/animal forward artwork. Tasty burgers at a decent price!

    Multiple hot sauces to try!

    First time trying this small spot on the side of Route 1. It doesn't look special on the outside, but you walk up and see all the specials hand written on the board with different kinds of fresh lemonades and other drinks. You go inside to a find a very homey feel to it surrounded by locals eating lunch or getting food to go. I ordered the bubba BBQ burger, rodeo burger along with an order of regular and Cajun fries. To wash it all down a root beer float with delicious root beer on tap! Price for everything wasn't bad at all relative to all the food you get. They have multiple hot sauces with a range of spice from roasted garlic to Caroline reaper! The staff is great and very friendly, you sit where you'd like and they bring the food out to you. They have an outdoor sitting section which was perfect for the hot day we went. The burgers were massive and delicious, I got my burger cooked medium rare and it was cooked perfectly! The fries were crispy and fluffy, but my favorite were the Cajun seasoning. It had a little kick but I couldn't stop eating them. Perfect spot to stop on the way to Ogunquit, definitely will be going back.

    Incredible. Everything tasted so fresh! The hand cut fries are perfect. Literally perfect. And they have white vinegar on the table! For locals, this may not be a big deal, but for this East Coast Canadian who lives in New Jersey, it's so great to discover. The gluten free buns are so good my 11-year-old was like "Are you sure these are gluten free mom?" The lemonade is not too sweet and pleasantly tangy. And the burger itself was juicy and flavorful. It is literally no surprise why this place was so busy on such a rainy day.

    Sorry. This is all I had left to share and about to finish it.

    Do they have a bar?

    They don't have a formal bar but they have stools to sit on up front and they do sell cans of beer. I drank one in August while I awaited my order.

The french fries alone are why I love the place. They taste like they chopped a potato right there and tossed it into the frier. I'm sick of places that use the gross coated fries, Gilley's thankfully does not do that! It's a small little diner that's been around forever with only a few parking spots (like three or four) in a busy area of Portsmouth. The hours are a little wacky but it's always worth it. The fried egg and cheese and the grilled cheese are made about as perfectly as one could hope. Very greasy spoon diner type of grub. Reading some of the one star reviews, they seem to come from disgruntled people who have a weird agenda who also don't tip and are proud to mention it in their review... and this is the only place they've reviewed? Ignore them and just know the food is good. Only downside - It is cramped inside the little space. There are only a few (six?) stools inside - which is fine if the place isn't busy. I'd more recommend getting the food to go.

I think it is good after a night out kind of food, if you get what I mean. Simple, quick, and greasy. Now, I will say - I went with a large group of people one night after going on the harbor cruise and there was only one guy working. That man was the order taker, cashier, and cook, and everything else in between; he did a great job as far as handling the orders and getting the food cooked and out the door quickly, so kudos to him. Menu consists of burgers, hot dogs, fries, and some miscellaneous other items - again, very simple. Our group got a mixture of cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and fries - some "cheesy", others regular. I got a cheeseburger and regular fries. It was mediocre. Like I said, probably good after a night out food but for me, I it wasn't great.

The burgers are top notch. They are really good quality. Everything is fresh and made to order. We had a couple of his "off the menu" burgers and they did not disappoint. We also had a burger from the regular menu. I saw a FB post recently stating he created a Mexican dish that was being offered that day. Seriously, take it day by day and never go in with an expectation of what you "think" you will be ordering. He's full of surprises and we have never been disappointed with any dishes at any of his many business locations.
