We also had scrambled eggs, a biscuit, hash browns and a lox bagel. The rest of the food was good but not stand-out like the pancakes. They forgot my order of bacon and then charged us for it, but they removed it from the bill when I informed them. They do not allow strollers inside. They said we could either leave the stroller on the porch or sit outside, so we chose to sit outside. It was a nice day anyways and they have umbrellas over the tables for shade. I did think it was weird that no strollers are allowed. Haven't seen that before and it didn't feel very baby-friendly. Overall, I'd still recommend LBI table.

Ben came straight over and introduced himself and told us some of the specials and allowed some time to peruse the menu. We knew that we had to get the children their food first for us to enjoy our meals and we ordered pasta and flounder for the girls and a cheeseburger and fries for the little boy. It's hard to imagine that a restaurant can be very classy while being at the beach and a very casual atmosphere but people were mixed in their dress with those of us who were more casual, but somewhat dressy and others who got dressed to the nines to enjoy their meal out with friends or family. We decided on the advice of Ben to get some duck confit and also some tang tang shrimp and also Nice chopped salad which was fresh and crisp and also some tacos and then we were off to the races with our entrées. We all decided to choose something different and give a little bite to each of the members of our adult party. While I had seared sea scallops my buddy had salmon. My wife chose a salad with some grilled shrimp And my buddies wife decided to have a plate of muscles that she enjoyed immensely. The staff was fantastic in that they took away dirty plates and replaced them with new ones and made sure that the kids had everything that they needed for us to enjoy a quiet and adult conversational meal. Compared to Long Island, NY the prices were really very fair and the quality of the food was very very good. My scallops were excellent and the other plates that I tried all were cooked perfectly. I want to give a special shout out to Ben, our server, for being very friendly and his demeanor while explaining the menu and offering suggestions. I really do look forward to our next trip back

Wally's is the place to go if you're craving a burger. They're burgers are really good here. What I really like about Wally's is that if you are a vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian or just love your meat you can definitely find something here no matter what your preference is. But going back to my original sentence, Wally's is the place to go if craving a burger. I had the cheeseburger as did my son. The menu states 2 quarter pound steak-like burgers with Wally's signature sauce, lettuce tomato and onion. We thought we were getting one ginormous burger with 2 patties stacked but it was actually 2 separate burgers. So if you want to actually share it, you can. They also have the Impossible Burger and a Black Bean Burger. As I said, the burgers there are plenty to choose from. If you a a dessert eater and we all certainly are don't forget to get the crumb cake. It is decadent and SOOOO DELICIOUS. read more

Best place on the island. The staff is so friendly and they are all locals. Not only will they offer you advise about the food on the menu, but they will also help answer any questions to make your vacation better. Our waiter Kyle was so outgoing and such a pleasure. When I ordered the avocado toast, he asked if I would like some tomatoes on top, even though it wasn't mentioned on the menu. Then he came by with some hot sauces and recommended trying a little bit to enhance the flavor. He was right! When Kyle came to check in on us and we asked him where we could go to watch the sunset. Again, his recommendation was spot on. THANK YOU for a great brunch! Also sign up for the rewards program if you plan on returning. It is so worth it! read more

This is, hands down, my favorite place to eat on LBI. Going out for a drink is a different story. Even though it's BYO, Wally's is not the kind of place where you go to pound beers. But, if you want to bring a few cold ones and have an amazing meal, this is the place. Go to a bar after if you want to keep your buzz going. . When it first opened years ago, I thought it was great and, IMHO, Wally's just keeps getting better. My wife and I are down on the island for Thanksgiving week 2024 and just had brunch here today. The food and service is stellar and being primarily plant-based, I always have delicous options from which to choose. The interior is bright and clean and the outdoor area, when open in the warmer months, is lovely. read more

The wait staff is amazing as well always very polite and respectful. I got here with my mom all the time for our mother son breakfasts!

Welp I am writing again because I am very disappointed about the downgrade in staff. When I first arrived at this establishment I saw many hot brauds who wanted to be pounded, now I can't say I feel the same way. I have gone twice in the past few days and no waiter has been above a 5. BULLSHIT. To cap things off they put me second in line.

At that point it was a small restaurant, BYOB, but it was immediately apparent that real gourmet food had finally arrived on LBI. (I still remember their version of shrimp and grits from that time.) We no longer had to put up with the prevailing surf and turf that we had unfortunately become accustomed to. Since then they've moved to their current, much bigger space and have created a beautiful, vibrant, inside-ourside restaurant that still serves excellent food (their lumache is terrific--we try not to order it every time) and has expanded to include pizzas--thin crust and very tasty; every one we've tried has been delicious.

The pizza was by far my favorite. The crust was so thin and so crispy. You could tell all the ingredients were very fresh and the dough was perfect. For our mains, my fiancé had the swordfish special and I went with a crab cake. I love that I was able to get a single order instead of a double. It was the perfect amount of food after all the apps. We agreed the swordfish was outstanding. So moist and not dry whatsoever like it sometimes can be. The real highlight of the meals for me was the homemade soft serve.
