   We were able to switch to a booth so controlled noise level. Service was great! 2 of us had baby back ribs and they were good and hot. The other 2 had prime rib and chicken parm, both of those were barely warm. Old fashioned drink reportedly not so good either.

   Outstanding service! Fish and Chips came hot and great quality. Brussels sprouts were off the charts. Meat loaf was great too. We will be back to try the pasta and the prime rib. We loved that the menu offered old home town classics! Very nice establishment, you can tell lots of locals. I am currently in a wheelchair and both servers and patrons seemed to be forgiving, as the inside is a bit of a tight space. We really loved our experience.

   Our server Amy was as great as our food. We wish they would turn the music down to an ambiance level. Older folks (over 45-50) are there to visit especially during Happy Hour. We always bring 6 or 8 but will always look for good food and a place to hear each other talk.

   Wally’s American Gastropub? Oh, they’ve got it down to an art form. This place doesn’t just serve food—it serves *moments*. The kind of spot where the staff remembers your name, your drink, and maybe even your mood. And let’s talk about that Happy Hour: glasses of Llama Malbec so good you’ll want to write home about it, if you weren’t already too busy savoring every sip. Now, the food. Oh, the food. The BLT Iceberg Wedge is a masterpiece of balance—hickory bacon that crackles with smoky perfection, vine tomatoes that taste like they were plucked five minutes ago, pickled red onions that bite back just enough, and a creamy bleu cheese dressing that ties it all together like a bow on a damn fine gift. And the Chicken Parmesan? Forget what you know. This isn’t some soggy, overcooked travesty. It’s a revelation. Whole milk mozzarella that stretches like it’s showing off, vine-ripened marinara that sings with freshness, a sprinkle of basil, and just enough red pepper flakes to keep things interesting. Oh, and it’s all handmade with durum wheat, because of course it is. This is Wally’s, after all—they don’t cut corners. The vibe? Quietly sophisticated, like that friend who always knows exactly what to say but never feels the need to shout it. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind, indulge, and feel like you’ve stumbled into a secret that everyone should know but somehow doesn’t. Yet. So, yeah, I’ll be back. Soon. And if you’ve got any sense, you will too. Wally’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a destination. And trust me, you want to be on this journey.

   Great food. Ribs were fantastic as well as the burger. The artichoke appetizer was excellent as well as the salads. Food is really top notch. Super casual atmosphere almost bar like, the crowd is a bit older too, maybe a senior living community nearby? My wife and I are in our 50s and we were by far the youngest in there. No complaints. A great place for causal great food and good service. Will be back

   Great food and great service. A bit noisy but that is to be expected on a busy Friday night.

   This is our first time visiting Wally's, even though we've heard about it for years. I had the knife and fork ribs - outstanding! Would definitely get them again. My husband had the fish and chips - he liked them but it wasn't anything special. The main thing that was a little disappointing was that we had a reservation and the table we were given was half inside and half outside the bar and half on the patio - it was like they squeezed it in to make more room. The table rocked up and down so my husband kept his foot on it. My chair was half out and half inside (different surface) so it rocked as well - our host was able to provide me a few shims to keep it less wobbly. There seemed to be quite a few other empty tables, not sure why they put someone with a reservation there. I should have spoken up, my fault, but it was New Year's Eve and I assumed it was going to get a lot more crowded (it did not while we were there). Anyway, I would go back but hopefully have better a better table arrangement next time.

    We went here on New Years Eve. Loved the brussel sprouts app and calamari. The red snapper special was delicious as was the Cobb salad. Always good here. Our service impecible. Thanks for a great experience!.
