Crumb cake is not good, odd after taste. Home fries had odd seasoning, and weren't to my liking. Their bagels are more roll than bagel. Server was gruff . No reason to return read more

What a treat!! The fried coffee cake melts in your mouth and is not overly sweet. It is a must for a starter. We were treated to an order of the lemon ricotta blueberry crepes. They dug in so quickly and they were so delicious we didn't even have time to take a photo. I was split between those and the Irish Eggs Benedict but on the recommendation of the super friendly chef, I went with the Benedict and am so happy I did and still got to try the crepes!! There are two rooms, one was full and louder the other only had three full tables and was much quieter. We were able to socialize with our table of 8 and hear each other. We were on the side of the kitchen and were graced with entertainment from the chef. You can tell how much he loves his restaurant. Highly recommend!! read more

This place is decent for a quick basic breakfast or lunch. You get the vibe the entire staff is kids who dont want to be there but it is summer on the island so I'd hate to work there too. Our food tasted good. Mozzarella sticks were great Cheese steak was ok, the fries are crappy quality/taste(mgmt. get crinkle cut fries ) Bang bang shrimp appetizer thing was good and larger than expected Shrimp bon mi looked good except they forgot to put any shrimp in it( how does that happen?) then when we told them Instead of just taking the messed up sandwich away and bringing a proper new one, they carry out a few shrimp on a plate, like here make it yourself?! Wtf is that? Kinda uncool Wallys. Do stuff right. Go the crumb cake to go from the front lobby and that was the best part of this place for sure. Go here but skip the appetizers, it ends up being too much food once your main lunch arrives(even without the shrimp in it) and just get your lunch and head out to explore the island. 4 stars cause our waitress was really nice. On our way out another waitress was bitching and complaining about her job as loud as she could. I thought it was funny but if it was my restaurant she would a been fired that second. Not cool for your customers to think the staff hates working there, makes you question what might be going on behind the scenes in the kitchen. Like maybe this chick hates the place so much she decided a secret plan to steal the shrimp from our sandwich just kidding but ya know, it's a basic lunch place. Most places on the island seem to be like this. Dont expect greatness anywhere on lbi, it's a beach town kinda place that thrives on summer tourism. read more

I am hesitant to ever leave reviews like this, but I feel like I had no choice after my most recent visit here, on a Thursday mid-morning. We came by with our Airedale Terrier, assuming it would be no problem to sit outside with her, as Wally's had been very friendly with dogs in the past. The host at the podium told us to pick a table either in the front or back, somewhat coldly, and we sat down as suggested. Not long after, a couple entered, they got seated gleefully, and immediately got waited on, both for their drink order and their food order. Meanwhile, no one ever came over to us. We waited a good 5 to 10 minutes afterward, nary even a check up (they were not busy whatsoever), so we just got up and left. I don't know if it was because of our dog, but if that is the case, make your policy clear. I am beyond understanding to the recent issues in the service industry, but there was to me, no excuse for this. They missed out on a big order, and I can't say we'll be back anytime soon. read more

THEY HAVE A VEGAN MENU! May I repeat... they have a vegan menu. Do you know how surprised I was when they asked me if I wanted a vegan menu? I was expecting to order some salad, but alas... a whole darn menu!!! We got the "chicken" parm... omg it was amazing. I almost asked if it wasn't real chicken...the fries that came with it were incredible... but. THE STAR OF THE SHOW... drum roll please... was the Philly cheese steak. The Vegan Philly cheese steak. They make their own seitan! And man they do a good job. It was incredible. I'm so happy with this place. Our waiter was super super super nice. Really liked her, and she did a great job. the vibe was great, we sat outside. read more

Thank You for your generosity on Veterans Day the food and service was top notch as always.

We found our new favorite breakfast spot on LBI! Our friends took us and we were pleasantly greeted by staff and were able to be seated at an outdoor table (which is a very spacious outdoor seating space). We ordered the grilled crumb cake which was heavenly! I thought I knew good crumb cake before but after eating this I realize I did not. We also got chocolate chip pancakes and an apple cinnamon crepe to all share. All were delicious. I ordered a garden omelette which was delicious...and the potatoes it comes with were by far the best breakfast potatoes I've had...even my husband agree and he knows food. The waitress was super pleasant. You can bring dogs if you sit outside (our favorite). We are so excited to go back and try their lunch and dinner menu...heard great things! Highly recommend next time you are in Long Beach Island! read more

So yummy! My husband and I were with my pup so we decided to order takeout. I placed an order online and it was ready at the perfectly estimated time. When I arrived it was ready to go right on the shelf. We ordered the country eggs bennys, avocado toast, and Japanese soufflé pancakes. Everything was neatly packaged and warm in aluminum containers with plastic lids. The country bennys were sooo delicious. My husband enjoyed his avocado toast and the subtle hint of coconut. The soufflé pancakes had a delicious flavor and the blueberries were great but they were really dense and we were imagining more of the light fluffy jiggly pancakes. Everything was great and we would definitely return to try more options! read more

Wow. Just wow. First, looks smaller than it is, but it's always packed. Once you get a table and your food, you will see why. Reminiscent of the great Jersey diners of old, portions are perfect and food is fresh and bursting with flavor. You know they are ample portions when you see most people leaving with to go containers. Service was fast and friendly. There is a line out the door in season, and I the s worth the wait read more

This restaurant is huge and modern. Very updated vibe. We went for breakfast and had a great meal! I selected the "Weekend Warrior", two pancakes, two sunny side up eggs, bacon, home fries, and toast. I made bacon and egg sandwiches with the toast, the eggs were cooked perfectly! Pancakes and potatoes were delicious as well. Had some tasty tea as well. Rest of the family was happy with their dishes as well. Certainly worth a return. read more

Not sure how there are so many good reviews. The dinner food is not good. Maybe it's better at breakfast. We had a terrible dining experience. read more

Disappointing. After such a long wait I expected it to be as fantastic as the crowd made it out to be and sadly fell short. Ordered the Asian rice bowl with chicken... had literally no more than 2 cubes of chicken in a gigantic bowl of rice. $27 for a bowl of rice.... Other than the poor food quality and value , the service was good. Not sure I would return read more

Delicious breakfast at Wally's. I don't usually come to this side of the island, but stayed here in the off season this year. Wally's has a large menu and is a great place for breakfast or lunch. Food and service were both good. Don't forget to grab crumb cake for the road. read more

Crepes and the potatoes were very tasty and the chef did a nice presentation of the food. The crepes were a little too doughy though mostly because they were Gluten Free I think. This is the second time we ate here and it was pretty good. The waitress was sweet and friendly and the place is clean. The bathroom was clean too. Nice place. read more

There's a slight chill in the air the kids are back at school, the adults are back at work and I find myself at Wally's again. The salmon eggs Benedict are always on the money the Belgian waffles were light and fluffy and I decided to try their homemade crumb cake. Once again I'm never disappointed when I eat here. The crumb cakes bottom was buttery and moist and the crumbs were buttery and melted in my mouth our waitress Shayla she was awesome and super friendly, I will definitely be back here again. read more

Great menu. Caring service. Nice ambiance. Lots of gluten free choices. Our reliable go-to.

SURF CITY/LBI: Wally's is dog friendly! Leashed dogs are allowed at their 2 outdoor spaces! The front patio seating has propane heaters to keep you warm. The backyard patio is covered by a tent and temperature controlled. The menu is huge and delicious with breakfast, lunch, and dinner choices including a really nice selection of vegan options. BYOB.

waited 2 hours for them to turn us away and say we can't eat they kept saying 30 or 20 min and then just out of nowhere done. Terrible place

This spot was recommended by an island resident. It did not disappoint. We were immediately drawn to the outdoor seating area with its inviting seating and umbrellas. I later noticed there is also ample seating in the rear of the restaurant as well. Our waitress was courteous and efficient. We were there in the afternoon, so the breakfast menu was over and we opted for the lunch menu. Each of us ordered soup. The squash soup was delectable as was the chicken soup. Fresh & tasty! Our main dishes, coconut shrimp and Crabcakes were also delicious and freshly prepared! This is a gem of a place!!Would highly recommend!! read more

My family and I came here for dinner with other family after visiting them on their vacation in LBI. Wally's was recommended because they are good for families and larger groups, which we were at 10 people. Got here a bit after 5pm and was able to be seated right away. There were plenty of teenager servers running around in the quite busy and loud restaurant. We got seated outdoors and had enough space. When I had to walk indoors to use the bathroom, it was loud and hectic so I'm glad we got to sit where we were. We started with some mozzarella sticks, a tomato and mozzarella salad and some soup including New England Clam Chowder and a Wild Grain Brown Rice. The sticks were crunchy and not over or underdone, the tomato and mozzarella salad was fresh with the basil and balsamic, and the soup was just average for both. Way too much Italian seasoning in the chowder. For our meals, my family went with a mushroom cheeseburger, Mac and cheese, crab cakes, and chicken parmigiana. Everything tasted quite good. My burgers actually come out as two (!) 1/4 pound burgers each on a Martins roll. They were the temp I asked for - medium rare, and tasted juicy and full of flavor. The fries were also done well. The Mac and cheese was in a huge bowl which seemed to have a whole pound of pasta in lots of gooey cheese. This also was excellent, and more than half came home for lunch the next day. The crab cakes my wife had were "not as good as you make, honey" but nice. A complaint was the price compared to the portion size. This entree was $34 and they came with a side of sautéed vegetables and either a soup or salad. We all felt this was overpriced. The chicken parmigiana had a nice portion of pasta and the chicken had plenty of parmigiana. The sauce was average and you could tell came from a jar. Brought it down a bit. Our server was very helpful and as quick as possible. Be careful if you do sit outside as we saw one of the large table umbrellas take a topple onto customers. We had to rotate ours to keep the sun off some of our sunburns and had no issues with it possibly falling over. $160 not including tip for three appetizers, four entrees, and a lemonade and a soda. We liked Wally's and had a nice time out. Very good for families especially with younger kids, and the food is average to quite good. Pricing for some things seemed high for what was received. read more

* This a review of my pick-up order during COVID-19 pandemic restrictions * Tasting notes: - Coconut shrimp: large, meaty butterflied shrimp with even, crunchy coating that adds not only texture but just a bit of sweetness; enjoyed the sweet dipping sauce - Garden quesadilla: each slice packed full with sautéed assortment of vegetables that were well salted, so much so that I was not sure if there was actually cheese inside with each bite; tortilla browned with just a little bit of crispiness; comes with fresh tomatoes, sour cream, shredded cabbage on the side - Fish and chips: fish was tender; batter was crunchy and salted; fries well-browned with crispy exterior and soft interior; side cup of beef chili had a surprising spicy kick, good blend of whole beans and ground beef along with cheese and sour cream - Tropical carrot cake: high frosting to cake ratio; most of the sweetness comes from the frosting; very dense cake with welcoming bits of crunch and nuttiness Other thoughts: - After ordering online, text notified that order was ready 20 minutes later on a Sunday evening off-season - No utensils provided - A solid meal in terms of portions and quality - Lots of vegan and vegetarian options available, which is nice to see read more

Was visiting LBI and Wallys came up as an option to eat in the area. Located about a 5 min drive away from the beach it's conveniently located with plenty of street parking. We were in LBI during the slow time so that might explain the accessible parking. We were a large party so made reservations in advance to get seated. As we arrived, we were seated right away in the back area where they had a coffee bar. The other section had TV's that played the games but the section we had didn't have the TV's on. The server was kind and friendly and took everyone's order. The place is BYOB and there's a liquor store nearby if you want to pick up anything. The server provided us with glasses for our drinks. The party ordered a few appetizers such as the bang bang shrimp rolls and artichoke dip. The rolls were good and had a really flavorful sauce. The dip tastes fine but I wasn't the biggest fan of the pita chips that came with it. For my main meal, I ordered the chicken Parm sandwich. I did enjoy the sandwich. The bread was nice and soft but crunchy on the outside. The sauce didn't have much flavor but the chicken was seasoned and cooked well. The fries that came with it were delicious. The party ordered dessert and I have no idea how I did it but I resisted eating any. As I write this review, I regret my decision as it all looked delicious and confirmed by the party as tasting amazing. There was a fudge brownie with ice cream that was definitely calling my name but unfortunately I didn't try it. Don't be like me and try the dessert at this place. The main dishes are also pretty good. Would recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. read more

Even though Wally's is busy, the food is great and so is the friendly service. I enjoyed excellent clam chowder along with a cheesesteak. The clam chowder is hearty with great flavor. I could have made a meal of the clam chowder and would have been satisfied. The cheesesteak was delicious , if not a true Philly cheesesteak. My wife enjoyed an overflowing Greek salad. It had plenty of good stuff in it. We were lucky to be able to eat outside. They have a nice patio. read more

Suzanne was amazing! Super attentive and an absolute sweetheart. Food and vibes were great as well.
