We have been going to Black Eyed Susans since it first opened on the other side of the street many…read moreyears ago. 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. So we would definitely recommend Black Eyed Susans. The staff is welcoming, friendly, well trained. This is now a big, beautiful destination restaurant. The pizzas and beer lower the price point.

This was very relaxing and I truly felt like I was transported to a resort. They do a great job of creating a little outdoor oasis. Once we were seated, we literally wanted to order the entire menu. Everything sounded outstanding that it was hard to choose. We settled on the seared tuna and a pizza as our apps. We also did indulge in an order of homemade sourdough because when in Rome! 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. As a huge ice cream stan, this was the perfect ending to my meal.

I couldn't finish my meal so now I have a nice portion of leftovers in the freezer when I have my pasta craving. Tiramisu dessert and a perfect cappuccino was also very good-- so much food and so good. We will definitely be back.

The staff were welcoming, friendly and very attentive to our needs and requests. Especially our server Aydin and manager Nicole. More about these exceptional individuals later! One member of our party suffers from severe Celiac disease and it's always a challenge trying to find meals she can enjoy that have the least risk of cross contamination. Many restaurants have limited gluten free options or can only offer suggestions on which menu items can be made gluten free. But they rarely have dedicated cooking and preparation areas nor do they fully understand the disease. Wally's has actual gluten free menus! Breakfast, lunch and dinner menus! Each has a large selection of 'normal' meals that are made with gluten free breads, rolls...everything! Not only are the meals gluten free, but their preparation is so perfect (gluten free items such as breads need special attention to get the best taste, consistency and flavors...they can't be prepared like regular bread items). The gluten free meal was absolutely fantastic! All of our meals were fantastic! Delicious, plated wonderfully and perfectly proportioned. Our server Aydin was exceptional! Pleasant, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. His recommendations were perfect. Aydin took wonderful care of our party and made sure each order was perfect...with special attention to the gluten free meal! Aydin was a pleasure and his service was excellent! Nicole is the manager and she came and introduced herself. She is the perfect example of what a manager should be...friendly, engaging and gracious. Nicole showed us the importance Wally's places on providing excellent service and personalized care to each and every customer! Her knowledge of gluten free food preparation is extensive...and very much appreciated! Again...this was our first visit to Wally's and we can't wait to return. Thank you Wally's, thank you Aydin, thank you Nicole!

We started with the beef tartare and cauliflower soup (not pictured because we literally licked the bowls clean ). For entrees, we had the strip steak, cooked absolutely perfectly, and the bolognese.

It was a wonderful evening; we had dinner on the porch, and our group was big enough that we took over the whole porch. Throughout the night, the experience was top notch! It's BYOB, so we had a bunch of bottles there, and the staff were great about keeping our drinks filled. They were also great about explaining what each of the dishes were, and there were so many! Everything was delicious - whether pasta, salad, main, dessert. I think I had some kind of beef dish, and it was really good and plentiful. Definitely would not be leaving hungry. One of the guys at dinner with us is from an Italian family, so he knows Italian food well, and he said the food was on point. I definitely agreed. The staff was very friendly as well; another guy on the trip with us went down to the kitchen and took some selfies with them, which was cool. Aside from that, though, they were very personable and helpful throughout the experience. They may have even sung at some point? Anyhow, great experience, and I think it would be a worthwhile visit even if not in the context of a large group making a big hubbub!
