If you can't find a free place.
Barry Y.

It was Saturday night. Wally's and its surroundings were jumping. If you were not lucky and needed a parking spot, a valet would do you the favor for was $8. (please see photo) While not listed on the menu, the tip amount you choose will appear on your bill. What you see printed is the "out the door price". The service was very good. For a $21 plate of what they called "Pasta", it was $27.49 including tip and tax. It's lovely to be able to sit outside. It wasn't noisy. The music was soft.. The temperature was fine. If you look up, though, you will see that Wally's has misters for those hot nights. There is also an indoor seating area. It looks like it will seat as many as were outside. It's a place for all seasons. No one in my party of five complained about the food. We all liked the service. Mine was Pasta with Meatballs, Spinach and Mushrooms. The food was very hot (temperature) and full-flavored. The sauce was thick and smooth, made from tomatoes. Nothing very fancy, but very satisfying in taste and portion size. Nice place, maybe that's why it's so crowded on Saturday

Wally's a good old standard for American fare. Patio is great for people watching coming in and out of all of the small business and boutiques. Happy hour is a great deal if on a budget. Recommendations from previous visit as well as this one - fish and chips, beef stroganoff, cheese sticks, meatballs, quesadillas and any cocktail you can think of. Service is always friendly and fast.

Great view.

Stopped in for the first time to Wally's and it certainly will not be the last. The prime rib dip was outstanding, wife had the skillet Mac n Cheese and it was perfectly prepared and delicious. Enjoyed the outdoor patio and the great service we received. Plus the view of Camelback from the patio was a nice bonus. Will definitely be back.

Wings with sauce on the side veg the buffalo!

Get the wings!!!! Sauce on the side! Get the buffalo! The wings are huge! Very filling! Also get the sweet potato fries!!!!!!! Service was good. Ice tea was good as well.

Our family has been coming to Wally's American Pub for over 20 years, and it remains one of our favorite spots in Phoenix for comfort food, great service, and affordable prices. We always start with a local brewery draft (right now we're hooked on Church Music) before diving into our go-to dishes. Portions here are huge, so plan to share! The Artichoke Dip is a must, and the Caramelized Vidalia Onion Soup is another family favorite. For mains, my wife and daughter swear by the Beef Stroganoff, while I like to rotate between the Stuffed Pork Chop, Meatloaf, Pot Roast, or Liver and Onions. Don't miss the Mashed Horseradish Potatoes, they are the perfect sidekick. And yes, always save room for dessert. The White Chocolate Bread Pudding is legendary, and we still end up taking leftovers home for a late-night snack. This is one of our top "celebration restaurants," (Kid Friendly) where we know the food, drinks, and service will always make the night special. Highly recommended!

Service and patio tipped this review a bit-our server was wonderful! We went with 2 comfort food dishes and both were solid. We will return!

Our experience was nothing short of perfect! The food was AMAZING! We ordered the Eggs Benedict & a bottle of champagne with a sidecar of OJ. If the hollandaise sauce is not scratch-made, they have us fooled. The building, decor & garden patio 's kitchen is is absolutely beautiful. The staff was very attentive and kind.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaged, which made for a great dining experience. FOOD Deviled Eggs - Great flavor with a bold, well-balanced seasoning. A strong start to the meal. Corn Bread - Really enjoyed this. It had a nice balance of sweet and savory and was moist without being too heavy. Fries - Crispy, well seasoned, and easy to keep reaching for. Swordfish Tacos - I would skip these. The fish didn't taste as fresh as I expected and had a noticeable fishy smell that took away from the dish. Overall, the food was good, but with such a large menu I would probably try different items on a return visit. My favorite part was actually the warm cookie they give you when you leave. It was a really nice touch to end the meal.

Another excellent experience at The Henry…read more Although it was busy and we didn't have a reservation, the hostess was able to seat us immediately at a booth which was very comfortable. Our server Jacob was excellent and very professional and friendly. He checked on us regularly and never left us waiting for service. We started with dirty martinis and they were prepared perfectly. Icy and filled to the rim. I ordered the Short Rib Potstickers $19- As an entree. Toasted sesame, cilantro, ponzu. Delicious. A good amount of short rib in each potsticker and plenty of sauce. My husband ordered the Blackened Sea bass Tacos $28 - blue corn tortilla, grilled pineapple salsa, red cabbage slaw, poblano crema. He loved these tacos. He said they were very, very good and the fish was cooked perfectly. For a side, we ordered the Spicy Double Egg Fried Rice. $9. Wow, this was packed with flavor. A nice size for the price. We have only been here a handful of times full of times and we are never disappointed. We will be back!

This is the second location I have visited. My first visit was to the location in West Hollywood,…read moreCalifornia. This location definitely takes the cake in ambiance. It is beautiful, spacious, and has two floors! The setting is clearly above your usual brunch spots and the booths offer a more intimate experience. My party and I were privileged to sit in direct view of the open kitchen. We got to see and hear the kitchen staff working together and communicating smoothly. We even heard the "hands" announcements like you see on The Bear TV show! I believe the food here was on par with the West Hollywood location, so points for consistency. Unfortunately, I have the same qualms for flavor for their dishes. I tried the short rib pot stickers, the tortilla soup, and the Bolognese pasta. I would say that the flavors were not especially strong for each dish. I think they each needed a pinch of extra seasoning to really make their flavors pop! Moreover, I tried my girlfriend's Rigatoni Alla Vodka and the cheese had no taste! Nevertheless, the dishes were beautiful. Lastly, I had a bit of an issue with our service. Our server passed by our table multiple times as we tried to flag her down to ask for the check. I think she could have been more attentive especially in the context of this higher-end brunch spot. With all of these factors combined, it's an overall 4/5 for me.

Honestly, everything we experienced today was so excellent from the service to the ambiance to the food. Holy moly, definitely coming back again! Totally recommend this place to anyone who wants excellent service and good quality food. Only thing that could make it better is to give a pie serving utensil to serve the pizza slices on the bread items, but really that ain't going keep me back from returning! It would just be a nice touch since the slices are larger than our knife.

Our server, who was also the bartender, was great. He was attentive, friendly, and made the experience better. I had specifically made a reservation for the main dining room, but we were seated in the booth right next to the bar, which didn't feel like the main dining room I had reserved. Not a huge deal on its own, but it was the first of several little disappointments. The appetizers were actually excellent. We had the wagyu pigs in a blanket and tempura green beans, and both were really good. Our four guests had mixed opinions on the entrees, but the biggest disappointment was the portion sizes of some of the dishes that are heavily promoted on the restaurant's social media. The chicken Francese and fish & chips, in particular, were comically smaller than they appear in the restaurant's photos. The difference was significant enough that it felt misleading, and honestly left me feeling differently about the restaurant as a whole. Maybe we caught it on an off night, but when a restaurant creates such a strong expectation through its food and presentation online, the actual experience needs to live up to it. I really wanted to love this place, which is probably why the letdowns stood out so much.

It's a large open dining area with tables and about four or five booths with counter-style ordering. They have a water station set up where you grab your own waters and find a table to sit at, and then they will bring out your food. Based on the name, we assumed we would be seated by a hostess and the menu would be full of breads, different kinds of pastries, and country-style foods, but it's actually mostly Mexican dishes with a few country-style dishes thrown in. We ended up ordering the Crispy Chorizo & Potato tacos and the biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon to share. The tacos were good; they are filled with whipped potatoes and chorizo, but the biscuits and gravy were just basic biscuits and gravy. The scrambled eggs on both dishes were WAY overcooked and had zero flavor. Not sure if they misunderstood my husband when he ordered the side of bacon crispy; that also meant to cook the eggs that way too? Overall, it was a good experience. The espresso martini was good, and the staff were really friendly. I'm just not sure it was good enough to stop in again.

It was essentially an overpriced glass of pure awfulness and disappointment. 3. I wish there were more than one dessert option. The small cookie and the average tasting gelato just didn't do it for me. I gave it 3/5 this time, but I might give it another try in the future.
