This time the menu was much smaller with less choices making you think they could handle more people. Long story short we ordered but it took us over 30 minutes to get our breakfast and it was cold.

My wife is a great navigator and got on Yelp to find us a place that wasn't fast food. I would say this is a dive bar, known to the locals, so we would not have found it, if not for the listing.

Thank you to the great server that took the order, listened and learned about celiac issues, and went over the specific precautions to keep my wife safe. And a special TY to the awesome cook the did everything perfectly. We're new to the area and still finding new places to go that will take special attention when preparing a meal that is safe.

SERVICE: We were greeted right as we entered by Bev who made us feel like we'd known each other our whole lives. She walked us through the menu, gave us suggestions, brought us ice cold beers within 90 seconds of ordering & was just an absolute gem of a hospitality professional. She had great table side banter & once we hit the food coma she got us our check quickly so we could go back to the park & pass out. THE FOOD: We ordered way too much & Bev warned us but we ate Wally B's leftovers cold for 2 days & if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know...everything from the alligator to the St Louis style ribs were DELICIOUS. The ambiance was better before the renovation & I heard that Bev passed away. We'll be back but "Wally B's" before the facelift will always be our favorite culinary memory of Missouri.

Do not let that fool you this place would've bus anywhere the food is so good. The seafood is really the highlight. I can honestly say I've never had anything at Wally's that wasn't delicious. I typically try something new each time, and have never regretted it. Service is slow sometimes, not because of the wait staff but because everything is cooked to order and they will run behind. Despite this, this is a favorite when I'm in the area. Wally's deserves a chance if you are in the area.

It's an old gas station turned to a diner, on 60 east 2 buildings after Casey's. They opened Monday through Saturday from 5AM to 2PM. The service is phenomenal, the owner will always check your tray before hand it over to you to make sure you have everything. Many regular local old ones eat here daily, black and white, they know what the good food are. The pies are super delicious, I am still trying all its pies, still can't pick one for my favorite, they are all goooood. The portion is humongously delicious for the price you pay. Sometimes the lunch specials will be gone 1-2 hours before they close. The little paradise in Poplar Bluff.

Guess they have changed how they make them, like forgetting to put much meat on there. If you are wanting lots of beans, some cheese and bbq sauce and chips then these are the nachos for you!!

The reviews were very positive, so I drove a bit out of my way to find Mike & Zack's, which was a bit of a hole in the wall, nearly always a good sign for me. I was the first customer of the day as the door was locked when I tried to enter. Must say I was a bit disappointed. For the pulled pork BBQ sandwich, there was an upgrade to more meat, which I did. I ordered baked beans as my side. Well, the upgrade to large was surprisingly small. The beans came in an extremely small container. There was one choice of sauce, which was OK, but I like a little more kick. Couldn't eat two bites of the sandwich as they were gristle. The decorations with all their awards was impressive. Maybe it was because it was so early in the day, but the bar was set pretty low.

She makes you feel like she is put out by the fact that you are there.
