    They automaticly charge you a tip on reciept then they ad a tip line to try to get you to tip again. They do not disclose it......... Update to response. We only had five people in our party. Two adults and three kids. In my past knowledge I believe 5 is less than 6. So why did I get charged a 30% tip charge. Shame on you

    The best burger I've had in my entire life. The wait is a little longer than you'd want. But I PROMISE it's worth the wait. Huge portions. Unbelievable quality.

    French Onion Grilled Cheese & French Onion Soup with house fried potato chips

    We ate at Lake Wally Cafe twice on our visit to Hawley near Lake Wallenpaupack. A hidden gem for sure. Very popular little place but easy to just walk in and grab a seat. The staff, service and food are great! You can't beat the prices either. I highly recommend their French Onion Grilled Cheese which comes with French Onion Soup. Delicious!

    Wally hash

    Best breakfast in Hawley. Great beef/pork hash( lake wally hash). Cheese steak omelette was fantastic. Owners sister was so friendly and the waitress, Bree, was so very friendly and cheerful. I hardly give 5s but they deserve it

    Two eggs, bacon and home fries

    This place was packed when we arrived, but the waitress accommodated the 9 of us. We waited about 15 min for our table. The food was good, standard in taste and not too long of a wait. It's definitely a great breakfast spot

    I actually hate to give this 4 stars because the beer, food, and venue is 5+ stars. The service…read morehowever was abysmal. The child that was serving us did not tell us that the kitchen was closing at 7:30pm on a Thursday and we could not order any food past this time. We tried to order an additional round of food at 7:40 and were told we could not. Thankfully, at that time we asked how to order takeout beer and they told us we better hurriedly go up to the main counter since it was last call for takeout beer as well. When we went to order crowlers of the beer that was not available for takeout in cans, the "bartender" audibly sighed before telling us each one would take 5 minutes to complete. Again, beer was great, food was great - shoutout to the kitchen for the curry ketchup specifically - front of house is hurting your business.

    So this is our first time here, and I didn't like it at all. The food wasn't that good. The music…read morewas way too loud. My chicken was so overcooked that it was too hard to cut with a knife. The lady came over and she said she was gonna comp my meal. I told her she didn't have to do that because I did eat the spaghetti, or atleast my son ate the spaghetti, so she gave me twenty percent off or at least she said she did, on my receipt, It says fifteen percent off. $2.70 off. Yeah, I don't think we're coming back here. I should have took the full comp off the meal. I was trying to be fair but in the end, I feel it wasnt fair at all. There was a whole piece chicken that wasn't cuttable or chewable. I posted on my facebook and people replies that the food wasn't so good here. I'm actually shocked at my own experience. Because usually when a parking lot is always packed. It's a good sign.

    First off, the staff was absolutely amazing. The host helped us with my son when he needed a…read moreBand-Aid and even showed him the fish tank, which we really appreciated. We had docked our boat and ordered food to go. We got the BBQ boneless wings, which were basically chicken nuggets with BBQ sauce. I understand that's essentially what boneless wings are, but it would have been much better if they were at least tossed in the sauce. We also ordered the blackened chicken wrap, but the chicken seemed more like regular grilled chicken than blackened. The Reuben was decent, and the pizza was... well, it's PA pizza what can you expect? Overall, we had a great experience because of the staff and atmosphere. The food was okay, but it could use a little more attention to preparation and consistency.

The server went back and forth several times serving other tables, never checking in to see if we needed drink refills (we had finished the waters and a Diet Pepsi within the first 10 minutes of sitting). When we finally caught the server's attention and explained the problem, it took another 10 minutes for the salmon to come out, with the explanation that it had been misplaced during a grease fire they had in the kitchen (??). There was no offer of compensation, and it took an additional 10 minutes and requests made of another server to get the drinks refilled. I don't have much else to say. The food was ok, but not good enough to justify coming back.
