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.

We tried a few appetizers and I had a main course. We did the clam strips and alligator bites. Both excellent. The garlic cheddar biscuits and Josh puppies before were great. I tried the blackened red snapper. Great !! The only complaint is very noisy and loud in here. You cannot have a conversation. They need to add so sound absorption baffles . But besides this definitely impressed with food and freshness of it all.

They have some interesting concepts, and some more ordinary stuff as well. Their prices are also entirely reasonable and there's something for everyone here.

The fried catfish was honestly some of the best I've ever had -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was seasoned so well: the okra, the fries, all of it was delicious. Even the sweet tea was spot on. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering how much food you get. Our waitress was a young lady who was super attentive and sweet, which made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back.

The fish was absolutely delicious, the fries were perfectly cooked, and even the coleslaw was a hit with both of us. The portions were so generous that my wife and I easily split one plate between the two of us. They proudly serve American farm-raised catfish, and it was every bit as good as advertised. Highly recommend!

Set on a man made small lake, the building is adorned with primitive antiques, and the views from the windows are just beautiful. The showstopper here has to be the homemade bread, YUM! The ribeyes were fantastic, thick cut and cooked to order. Was sad to hear they will be semi-closing soon, due to being a small family ran business. Keep a watch on their Facebook page for some farm to table type dinners coming up though! We will make sure to come back for those! Can't wait to try the catfish!

So pleasantly surprised!…read more It's easy to overlook and underestimate this place, since it's attached to a Holiday Inn. I'm here to say that it's worth giving Castello's a shot! I'm talking to you snobby foodies too... I had the Seafood Ravioli with the side salad and House Vinaigrette. The house vinaigrette was really nice, tasted like it was strawberry infused which was quite nice. The garlic croutons soaked in the vinaigrette with a grape tomato, red onion and some lettuce = perfect bite! Only criticism is the large amount of shredded mozzarella that really downgrades this simple salad...but it probably appeals to the local clientele so, understandable...

I chose the rib eye steak and ordered it medium well; it actually was served medium well. The flavorful steak came with salad, a perfectly cooked baked potato with cheese, bacon bits, sour cream and a roll with butter. A friend ordered the prime rib medium rare and it was served medium well. A staff member replaced it with a medium rare prime rib. Overall, this experience was an improvement from the last.
