Probably the best corned beef hash I ever had. Everything is cooked fresh to order. Wish I found this little gem earlier. I'll be back again.

Ordered Party heroes, 1 Italian, 1 American and 1 chicken cutlet. The chicken cutlet incredible, breading was outstanding not just plain breading.
Bread is from Anthony and Sons in NJ, really good bread.
Italian and American cold cuts excellent not a lower quality cold cut. Sandwiches were stacked, no cutting back.
They'll be doing all our Catering from now on.
Bye Bye Arthur Ave Sandwich shop, no comparison. 15 minute ride well worth it.
Get the Best, forget about the rest

Ordered a reuben hamburger and it was charcoaled around edges, and corn beef was dried out.
Was a really bad lunch!
Didn't have the time to return it, so I grinned and bared it.

Beyond disappointed I get breakfast here at least once a week and it seems that they have just skimped out more and more on each meal. I ordered a three egg breakfast with sausage and home fries and gluten-free toast got charged a few dollars extra to receive one piece of toast that was really burnt, and enough hashbrowns to feed a one year old couldn’t even contact through their own page via Facebook to have this situation rectified

Our waitress is lovely and this maple bacon pancake is so good I am currently ascending to the spiritual realm.

Love this cafe, it's our go-to in the area. Food is wonderful and the people and service are wonderful! Can't go wrong for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Quick review for non-Celiacs:
My husband and kids enjoyed everything they ordered, raving specifically about the chocolate chip pancakes and French toast! Definitely recommend.
Celiac & Gluten Sensitive review:
While our family was vacationing in Hawley, this spot was supposed to be our breakfast stop since they’re rated highly on Find Me Gluten Free.
As a symptomatic Celiac, I needed a safe place to eat and this seemed like the perfect place.
Our first experience was better than the second. There were no available tables inside, so I called my order in. The person I spoke with understood that I needed to eliminate the risk of cross contamination and assured me the food was safe. As far as gluten free French toast goes, it was good!
Our second experience was not as great. I called in again the following day, wanting to eliminate ordering from multiple places for our family of five, and I requested my gluten free order be bagged separately. There was zero assurance from the person I spoke with and our order was put all together in one bag. I did not feel comfortable eating as if there was a cross contamination issue, I could potentially be sick for days. It wasn’t worth the risk.

Lake Wally Cafe was such a pleasant suprise. It's small and you can tell it's the neighborhood place that knows everybody. The food was too good not to finish. The bread on the Philly Cheesesteak was so soft and crunchy at the same time, the meat was fresh and delicious, and the thin chip French Fries was such a fun way to eat fries. Service was quick, staff is friendly, will definitely be thinking about Lake Wally Cafe for a while.

Lake Wally Cafe Oct 2025: We ordered the boat omelet, Lake Wally hash, coffee. Both meals were very good. Coffee was brewed stronger than most dinners, that's a good thing. When traveling back thru this area we would definitely visit again. Good attentive wait staff. Breakfasted at 8am and this small restaurant quickly filled up by 8:30a.
