    Not to brag, but I have tried fried catfish all over the US, claiming to be the best from North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio, and on and on, but none of them have come anywhere close to the level of Fred's in Mammoth. You heard it here first...change the sign out front, "America's Best Fried Catfish!"

    Very good catfish place as I drove through the country. They are true to their claim. They have excellent hush puppies and very nice country service. Building is old as is the town. That's what makes these kind of gems worth checking out. If you are hungry and love fried fish you need to check this place out

    Food is OK but waitress Jackie is hateful and rude. We will never go back there because of her attitude.

    We had high hopes going to this restaurant. It was a special occassion. Atmosphere was so so so…read more Small cozy bar. Back deck looked like it'd be a great place to hang out in the summer. Amanda (apologies if wrong name) was an awesome waitress. Portions are quite large so unless you have a BIG appetite, you're taking food home. We ordered 2 fred's favorite seafood platters. Our feedback is as follows: 1. Baked potatoe was old & brown; inedible 2. Crab cake tasted more like a seafood cake. It was bland & had no old bay flavoring 3. Scallops were soggy. Prepackaged frozen & tasted like it. 4. Shrimp was the best item. Prepackaged & frozen but actually were pretty good. 5. hushpuppies were bleh. over fried with more crunch then taste. well there it is.

    Seemed promising, the building is very nice and clean and the host was nice. Other than that, I'll…read morestart off by saying they were very busy and we understand that it gets hard for servers when it's busy. That being said, our waiter, Clovis did not check on us often, he was nice but would set the food down and quickly walk away before we could say anything. We had talked to him about having a gluten allergy (we're not just rude, picky people from California, never even been there, two of us have a legit allergy.) We made sure the catfish was made with corn and not wheat, so it had been discussed. The menu did not specify that the jalapeño poppers were breaded and after informing the waiter of the allergy, he didn't inform us either. We had expected actual jalapeños that were stuffed. These were gas station/sports bar, tiny, frozen and microwaved and breaded for $9.00....we broke one open and looked inside and it didn't even look like it had a jalapeno in it at all.... When we mentioned we couldn't eat them, he assured us he would take them off our ticket and not charge us..... he didn't, he charged us for them... .....My husband was the one family member who could eat the hush puppies said they are definitely just in bags, frozen and microwaved and not very good. For food that expensive, we just expected it to be better quality. We were not brought lemon for the tea or the fish and no ketch up for our french fires and the french fries were the only thing that were worth paying for. The catfish was okay but certainly not anything special, not much flavor and some of the pieces were overcooked. The BLT salad was good, we should have just ordered the salad the french fries because instead we paid $64 for food that wasn't worth it and not the best service. We were in the restaurant for at least an hour, most of that time waiting for food and service. We waited so long for him to come back so we could mention the fact that he still charged us for the appetizer, we finally just had to talk to someone else. When we asked to speak to a manager, about still being charged for an appetizer we were told would be comped, no manager was brought out, the server instead was brought back and he offered to just give us $10 from his tips..... We told him to just keep that and we left.... We won't be back and we will discourage others from coming here. If they charge a tip to our card, we will be enraged and will be going back to complain because we left if blank on purpose....

SERVICE: We were greeted right as we entered by Bev who made us feel like we'd known each other our whole lives. She walked us through the menu, gave us suggestions, brought us ice cold beers within 90 seconds of ordering & was just an absolute gem of a hospitality professional. She had great table side banter & once we hit the food coma she got us our check quickly so we could go back to the park & pass out. THE FOOD: We ordered way too much & Bev warned us but we ate Wally B's leftovers cold for 2 days & if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know...everything from the alligator to the St Louis style ribs were DELICIOUS. The ambiance was better before the renovation & I heard that Bev passed away. We'll be back but "Wally B's" before the facelift will always be our favorite culinary memory of Missouri.

Do not let that fool you this place would've bus anywhere the food is so good. The seafood is really the highlight. I can honestly say I've never had anything at Wally's that wasn't delicious. I typically try something new each time, and have never regretted it. Service is slow sometimes, not because of the wait staff but because everything is cooked to order and they will run behind. Despite this, this is a favorite when I'm in the area. Wally's deserves a chance if you are in the area.
