“If you want the best clam chowder then you must go to Wally's. It's thick, creamy,served hot and full of tender clams. To go with that all you can eat fish & chips. Again served hot and freshly cooked cod. Usually mine starts with 4 or 5 pieces of cod and then more if you can eat more. All dishes we have had at Wally's have been excellent weather pasta ,calamari, or shrimp. Way to go Wally's .“

I cannot begin to tell you how much it means to my father in law. Willy was so kind, professional and flexible! Thank you for granting a wish and adding a bright spot. You made someone smile today at a tough time.“

“I mean wow. Just wow. I ordered the spicy chicken breast and broccoli plate that comes with onions and carrots sautéed in. Can I just say how picky I am when it comes to Asian food or any food in general. My adopted mother is Chinese and cooked us original asian dishes our entire childhood she was an amazing cook. Anything she put her hands on came out like a 5 star Michelin restraint. Authentic too. I can't see her or speak to her anymore. When I smelled this dish the memories came flooding back. and then I dug in.... The seasoning is beyond anything I've had in teriyaki shops before. . The composition was beautiful. The taste brought me back to my childhood. Its been along time since I've tasted something this amazing. I will say I was blown away by this plate. I'd give it another star if I could.“

“Went to pick up a friend and we were looking for a late night place to grab food. He noticed the 24 hour sign and so we made a U-turn and headed into the drive-thru. Drive-thru is a little slow. I commented to my friend, "this place has to be awesome for the wait to be this long..." and... it was awesome. ordered the carne asada burrito and my friend ordered the carnitas burrito and an asada taco. so, the wait in the drive-thru was WORTH it. really big portions. actually eating the other half of my burrito right now and it still tastes great even after having been sitting in my fridge overnight and then nuked in the microwave. definitely will be back. next time though, i think going inside will be the plan.“
