    We stop for a quick bite. We enjoyed the atmosphere for a bar/ grill . Clean and full of people. Some what loud but you can have a conversation The service was excellent, good recommendation by the waitress. The foid was hot, fresh and just what I was looking for. It tasted good. So it was noon , they were busy but it seemed very comfortable and smooth running place. No cocktails for us so I can't comment about the Bar. Fun place, I will return

    Went by for some dinner and to watch the Chiefs take on Baltimore, the bar staff was friendly and helpful the place was clean and to food always fresh made to order. I can't say enough about the food as it's a hit every time we go. Go grab some food take out or dine in, you will like it

    Chicken Quesadillas

    I had heard about this place once when visiting Love coffee nearby, and a lady had mentioned that she had the best chicken noodle soup here. It didn't seem possible to me because from my vantage point, at the coffee shop, this place looked like a bar, and I thought anyone with a few drinks in them thinks bar food is spectacular. I was very mistaken. This place is more like a well-hidden gem in Lee's Summit. A must visit pub if you so happen to drive through this town, on your way elsewhere, and are looking through Yelp for a place to fill your tummy rather than resort to the golden arches, befriend your own physical tank here. We decided to visit this place since we were in the mood for a light bite to eat and a new place to try. Our waitress was very nice and made us feel welcome but not in an overbearing way, like at some places where it feels like they are trying to be. My husband ordered the Cowboy Nachos and really enjoyed it. I ordered the Chicken Quesadillas and loved them. We shared both, and I was impressed with the flavors, and again I wasn't very hungry so that should say something. I am certain that we will be back, and I'm sure that I will try that Chicken Noodle soup.

    Champagne in a wine glass. $1 more than a flute and well worth it!

    Wally's has a great brunch! I had a mimosa (minus the orange juice ) to start. I ordered the Wally's Classic...Eggs, toast, bacon and breakfast potatoes. Everything was good but the breakfast potatoes are amazing! My husband had the scrambler with sausage gravy and a biscuit and also thought it was really good. Everyone was friendly and I was excited to see a local place so busy and doing well!

    Out for cousin dinner and we were excited to try this place, nice atmosphere and the service was fantastic! It got really busy an I knew it must be good folks were happy to wait to be seated. We were not rushed and we order 3 appetizers off the happy hour menu. That was fantastic and so glad our server showed us the cocktail list. That porky sandwich was so tender it melted in my mouth! I'm so pleased they went with a brioche bun it was amazing. They fries were delicious not those frozen bag kind but fresh cut potatoes! The salmon was done perfect and the mashed potatoes seasoned well! Great restaurant.

    Great bar with plenty of space, openness and choices!

    My daughter and I went to Wally's between travel softball games while back n forth between Belton & Shawnee. We found Wally's in Lee's Summit on Yelp only a couple of miles from Belton's Markey Park, where we were playing a couple of times. We were hoping to find a place sitting on the water but out of the heat & humidity. What we found was a casual but classy setting on the edge of town where we got good food, refreshed and cooled off between games. I had the grilled shrimp taco's and a couple of beers and my daughter had a steak. Food was really tasty, quick and easy. Will definitely seek out again when back that way!

I tasted 10 during my visit and every single beer was worth trying. My faves were: Freshly Squeezed Blueberry Lemonade Wheat, Apple Pie Milkshake IPA and Calliope Caramel Cream Ale. Finally, the most important part of the operation is the people. Every single person that was present made me feel welcome and like I was already a part of their community. WOW, I was left feeling like I'd made new friends which I know I did. I travel to KC at least once per year and every year I will return to support this awesome brewery. Thank you for a memorable experience.

Be extra grateful and make it easy so they can seat the actual pre-reserved folks. The place is small enough and the service is nearly 2:1, so they'll definitely remember you. With that said, we tried it best to be on good behavior but that Sake flight had us feeling spicy! Which I'll speak to next, the sake flight delightfully surprised me, and gave me a few things I liked enough to order again. Did not expect that. But I shouldn't be surprised, they're obviously going to have something wildly well-curated, given the successful history of Anjin's creator. I know I'm supposed to talk about the food. But it almost feels pointless. It was obviously amazing. It's a small curated menu. They're famous for their sandwich, whatever rotation they're serving will be sure to please you. They didn't have a lot of vegan options on the menu so my friend got the cabbage dish and it was absolutely wonderful as well. That might be my only watch out if somebody is a vegan, check out the latest menu before going. With such a curated, small menu it may or may not be in a vegan's favor depending on the season. And if it's not, just drink more sake! Can't wait to return, especially with those visiting from out of town to give them an authentic, locally-owned experience.
