It is located at the off beaten path of Summer Ave Hwy 70). The owners are very nice people from what I have heard from so many. When we walked in the first thing I noticed is how friendly the people were. It is far from fine dining and the look inside or the area might not be for everyone but I loved it! Very down to earth. The first time we went, we were meeting someone who canceled last minute. We had already ordered drinks. We offered to pay for them. The waiter put them in to go cups and did not charge us. Next time was breakfast and it was one of the best breakfast places in Memphis with good service. Third time, we had lunch. The waiter offered suggestions but he said I would love the pot roast. It was on mashed potatoes which gave me a third side and it was delicious. My husband loved the meatloaf This is a great place if you don't mind waiters with tattoos and don't want to dress up. read more

This family run restaurant is incredible! My husband and I came around 11:30 Saturday morning and were seated within 15 minutes. The food is fresh and delicious! 10/10 would eat here again! I got the Tiny Dancer sandwich and could not find one thing to complain about. read more

I found Wally Hatchet's because they are one of the first suggestions when I'm searching near home. They've been open for 5 months and have seemed to nail the concept of being a great local restaurant. I was impressed by their suggestion to have my husband and I sit in their military veteran's section. They have a whole military salute wall as well. The food was just as great. I loved my Ay Caramba and my husband found the selections available for the Fat Bottom Breakfast great as well. I tried the biscuit and loved it. Overall great food and great service. I'd recommend this. read more

Always delicious! Great service. The fat bottom cow is our family favorite! Worth the wait

This was our first visit to Wally Hatchetts for breakfast, and we took two of our grandchildren with us. The meal was excellent and we got lots of food for a good price. The service was excellent and I would recommend Wally Hatchetts to anybody that wants a good meal. read more

Wally Hatchets has the BEST management and food I could have ever found. I met the folks at a Bowling Alley. I ate there and the food is Righteous. They care about food quality and service. BEST Breakfast in town... !!!! Im super judgy with breakfast also! :) read more

For my third visit, I had the pot roast, or as they call it, Mississippi Pot Roast. Now I've had lots of pot roast in my life and I've had lots of Mississippi food. I don't even know what this was. It was just all wrong. Now I will say that it had excellent flavor, it was good, and I ate every morsel, but I'm not even sure what it was. Because it wasn't pot roast. It was a fail. You see, pot roast gets cooked in a slow cooker with a broth. The meat is tender and juicy, and has long stringy strands. This meat here was more akin to steak bites and they were dry as if they had been towel dried or baked in an oven. What would have been great would be some of the broth or gravy that it had been cooked in. Instead, I got a plate full of turnip juice. Lol. Don't get me wrong. That didn't stop me from eating it. I'd eat a bowl full of turnip juice any day. But tell me what you'd rather have on this dish. Juice from the roast or turnip juice? And I believe this is the first time in my life I've been served pot roast without carrots. What in the world? I hope the owners can use my feedback. While I am criticizing it, I did enjoy eating it, and at the time I was eating, I felt like I would stay at four stars. It did have flavor. But then, literally the next day, I got pot roast at a gas station and it blew this one away, and I got double the portion. Check out my pics of it. It will be the review I write after this one. Comparing this to the gas station, it's only worth three stars. read more

Nice surprise. Had to stop by Elvis's Autos (who was also a surprisingly good guy to do business with) and needed a bite. The service was really friendly, food did not disappoint. Think pub food plus all day breakfast in a family friendly atmosphere. Wally's a bit out of the way from our house but it's worth a return trip in the near future. read more

It's not bad, but not nearly as good as the hype. Maybe it would be a better experience if taken to-go but for dine-in the service is sub-par. For one, if there is a wait and they tell you to "wait outside" I highly recommend either waiting inside or coming to check every few min because their staff communication is very poor, and you will probably get skipped on the wait list. One host will ask for your phone number and insist you wait outside for a call or text--meanwhile the other host will just call names of the people who choose to crowd inside. It's not first-come-first served. It's whoever they choose to be next will be next. I got on the list, first in line actually, and they scratched off my name without sending me a notification via text or call like they said they would. My hungry aunt and I waited in the parking lot for an hour before deciding to check back in and seeing over 10 names scratched off the wait sheet since I'd checked in! I no longer trust restaurants to stick to their word and say they'll text me. Then they tried to tell me "I'm so sorry, the next two-top that opens up, we'll get you in!" I had to insist that the next ANY-number-top that opens up should be ours, because this was just disrespectful. If told to stand and wait inside, I would have, but I was told to wait by my phone for a call or text. The owner/managers did not even apologize. I guess from now on, I have to be that annoying customer who is checking in every 5min. The food was not bad, just not worth the extended wait, and the service was nothing special. I'll try a lot of other places before ever returning here. read more

Best sausage gravy ever! An accomplished veteran runs the best breakfast place I have ever eaten at. He literally knows most people that came through the door. We were both in the Air Force and hit it off well. Wife had an awesome and huge omelette! We shared a short stack with strawberry syrup...amazing. I had the chicken fried steak! This place is a 5 for food, service, cleanliness and friendliness! read more

We've been back several times now for breakfast and they just get better. Go somewhere enough times, they're bound to drop the ball once in awhile. Fortunately Wally Hatchet's has been consistently good. I see others post pics and reviews on here where they've come back over and over, but they seem to just complain. Not sure why. All I can say is, their repeat patronage is a plus for this place. That being said, if you don't like this place...why do you keep coming back? I can't speak about lunch or dinner here, but the breakfasts are excellent! One of THE best breakfast burritos I've had in a long time! read more

The food was so good! Our server was great & answered our questions and made recommendations that were spot on! Cool little dinner that you should definitely check out! read more

This place was the bomb! Our server Zach was a serious hustler. My man was serving like 10 Tables and it was still the best service I've had in years! Try the hamburger omelet! It's worth it and very cool atmosphere! read more

What an awesome local place to eat. Would highly recommend this place to everyone. Food was excellence as well as the service. We found this place on yelp during the Hot Rod Power Tour and will certainly be back again. read more

Outstanding. That's it. That's the post. The wait was about 30 minutes but that's understandable since it was a Sunday morning.

Outstanding food & service! I've been more times than I can count. I've only ordered the chicken & waffles because it's so incredible, I can't not order It. However I've taken multiple people to eat there & we usually share. I've not had anything that was not exceptional, even the chicken fried steak which I thought I didn't like, wrong! It was delicious. The shrimp & grits were the best I've ever eaten..ummmm just thinking about It, I know where I'm going in the morning. Word of advice, it's packed on Sunday before church, get up early and go. It's definitely a blessing. read more

I've eaten here a few times during weekday mornings but haven't found just that one dish that I love. Everything is good but I can't recommend that one thing you HAVE to try. It's a relaxed vibe inside being a neighborhood restaurant- it makes me think of a place where everyone knows your name when you walk in. The service is always great and the food has never taken a long time to come out the kitchen. I like to sit somewhere where I can doodle on the walls! read more

Came in today and was put on the waitlist. No biggie. Sat for 5 -7 minutes. Went outside to my car and heard another patron placing a reservation on the phone. Came back in and continued to wait. 10 minutes go by and the patron who placed their reservation AFTER me was called by the manager (Tommi), leaving my party and I confused. We inquired why they were seated before us. We were told "They had a reservation". We advised them that we literally heard the other patron placing the reservation after we had been placed on the waitlist . The waitress stared and said nothing. No apology, nothing. We leave. I think one important item to note is that we are Black and the other patons were White. I really hate to think this was the issue, but if you read other 1 star reviews, this same issue has happened before. Shameful. Will not be returning, but I doubt we'll be missed. read more

This is a cute restaurant, a little chilly inside though. The biscuits and gravy is delicious, and so is the chicken fried steak with gravy. Very nice people as well. read more

This was a very fun and cool stop to hit up Breakfast. The "Pour Some Gravy on Me", AKA biscuits & gravy with two eggs was really good! Being able to sing the verse to one of my favorite 80's song earned me a bonus of some really good pancakes. Only complaint was the coffee was not that impressive, but not a make or break. read more

Amazing everything...the atmosphere is very family friendly. The customer service is great and the food is amazing!!

My cousin and I went here for brunch on a Saturday. The wait was about 15 mins. We were seated and our drink orders were taken immediately and we were informed of the daily specials. I ordered the kitchen sink omelette, it was delicious and cooked just right. My cousin ordered the caveman omelette and a Belgian waffle, she said it was great. The pineapple mimosa carafe was mixed just right. We left full and happy. The staff was very sweet, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu items. I plan to return soon. read more

The food is great. Excellent breakfast. Turning into a weekend family tradition. It's quite popular so you might have to wait to be seated depending on when you arrive. read more

This place is AMAZING! The biscuits and gravy were on point, the pancakes are homemade and super yummy! The best part is the owner is super friendly, the staff is attentive and willing to go above and beyond to make sure you are enjoying your breakfast or lunch, and the prices are very affordable even for a family of 5. HIGHLY recommend this place. The Mississippi pot roast is amazing!!!! read more

Nice staff. Talked to the owner about the business, menu, and future of this spot. Very impressed with the business, but this BLT was subpar. My star rating is based on the hospitality, but I will definitely try them out again. I like the spot, the vibe and options. My bacon was over cooked, but it may have been an off day. I'll be back read more

I've never eaten here before, but I hear they have great service, an amazing ambiance, and they have food too!

The food is just sooo good!!! Corn nuggets are awesome & their cobblers are sublime!!

Trying to get into a restaurant on Mother's Day is next to impossible. First restaurant we went to was a two hour wait. We came here and got a table in thirty minutes. The food was amazing. The servers were great. read more

Great food, I love breakfast all day restaurants with some variations on tried and true. Country omelet with good country sausage and good veggie and cheese hit the spot. Glad to support a local neighborhood restaurant. read more

We liked the feel of the place. The wait was short and the food was well prepared. We will come back here and eat every time we're in town

The food here is delicious and the staff is always kind and helpful. There sometime is a wait on Sunday morning but it is well worth it! We go every weekend and are never disappointed. Definitely recommend. read more

First timer - visited 10/31/2020. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Cornbread. * Chicken Friend Steak is pre-fozen and was edible but I won't order again. * The Mashed Potatoes were instant and more of a soup than mashed potatoes. * The Green Beans were out of a can but seasoned well. * The Cornbread was stale and broke apart. Pros * The waitress was attentive and provided tea! * The White Gravy was awesome. Would I go back, yes, but will not order the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes read more

Sunday brunch was muy delicioso! We ordered at caramba omelette and waffles, Mississippi pot roast, Lil early birdie x2 and multiple mimosas. Everything was above par, the ay caramba was delicious it had just the right amount of bite, eggs were done just right. The waffle was nice and dense with just the right amount of crispiness. Mimosas were a tad weak but nonetheless tasty. All in all, excellent experience. I think we found our hangout joint read more

We visited here after reading other reviews. We were not disappointed. The Ay Caramba was EXCELLENT as were Vic's nachos- which is ALOT of food. I would have give 5 star but the coffee needs some work. The coffee was weak, very weak but that will not stop us from returning if we are ever in the area again. read more

Cute place, great food, great service. Waffles were to die for! And eggs cooked perfectly!

I love this place! Always servicing breakfast or lunch. Wonderful food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere!

The Actual matched the Aroma We had to do it, you know. Not long ago my wife and I went to Wally Hatchett's to try their breakfast. It was great. The staff are pleasant and friendly, and always bring a nice smile with the food. Well, recently we went back for lunch. On our first visit, Billie gave us a sample of the Pot Roast (and told us about the Grilled Meatloaf). When I smelled the aroma of the meat, I decided I would order the Pot Roast on my next visit. I did that and was glad I did. The well-seasoned and tasty Pot Roast is served on a bed of mashed potatoes. Again, the aroma caught my attention. It was served all hot and delicious. I can definitely recommend the Pot Roast and will get it again - but there are still more tasty treats on the menu to try on our next visit. Did I mention that I want to try their Grilled Meatloaf? I've heard that "Lipstick on a Cow" burger (with Pimento Cheese) is also good. My wife saw she could "Sing when you order" the Pour Some Gravy on Me!, and you get a treat. She sang and was quite happy with her treat of their short stack of pancakes - now, another good item to get for breakfast. As you might have guessed, we have found a great place for breakfast - and lunch - and will be going back. Be sure to put Wally's on your list too - but only if you enjoy good food and friendly service. read more

Group of friends came for breakfast. We waited about 15 minutes for a table for 7. Waited an additional 15 minutes to place drink orders. 5 minutes later we placed food orders. Took another 40 minutes to get our food. I did notice that tables who arrived after us got their food before us. I had the country omelet. It was just mediocre. I doubt they used any type of seasoning on the food and everything inside the eggs was burnt. Bacon was hard to chew and everything else was mushy. Only three out of seven of us even finished their food. After getting my bill, I noticed that I was charged more for my meal than what was listed on the menu. I think hey even added tip automatically because the receipt had a spot for "add additional tip". I will most likely never return. read more

We love this place so much. The food is just normal. That isn't meant to be a bad thing! In a world where everyone is trying to reinvent the wheel they aren't. They serve standard breakfast fare, omelettes, eggs, toast, waffles and a few nonstandard (think BBQ omelette-amazing btw). The portions are huge and the food is great. The coffee is also the best. The service is just so great. Given the Covid times, many places are understaffed and overworked. The entire staff makes you feel like family. We love this place so much:) read more
