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.

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!

Prime rib dip sandwich with fries and creamy horseradish
Tawna S.

What a great pub! Our server was super friendly and recommended some dishes since it was our first time. We had the halibut special with horseradish potatoes and the prime rib dip sandwich. The food was great, and the leftovers were delicious the next day as well. We will definitely be coming here again.

Wow! Color me impressed! Chef, waiter and bartender James was running the show single-handedly on…read moreThursday at 5. Not another table was occupied for our entire meal, locals please show this place some love!!! We came in for happy hour with our college son, and had a lovely time. The music was a bit loud for it being so empty, and an odd irritating beeping was audible throughout the evening. Otherwise, we sat in a comfy booth and enjoyed the air conditioning, yes its still 100 in Phoenix. From the happy hour menu, we ordered a house margarita and a red sangria to start ($6 each on HH). The margarita was standard, but solid. The sangria was fruity and boozy with a good portion of icy blackberries to keep it cold. I like that there wasn't a glass full of ice left after finishing this drink. James brought some extra ice for the margarita, saying the crushed ice melts quickly. I used it to ice down the water, much appreciated. When son arrived, he was undecided about the beers, so James brought him three tasters. After choosing the one (Dragoon Pilsner $7 HH) that made his face happy, we also ordered the polenta fries as a starter. The polenta fries ($10 HH) here are SUPERB! What a fantastic combination of flavors! I loved the hard crunch on the outside but the soft polenta inside. Topped with some spicy chipotle aoli, this dish features a little cor, cotija cheese and house pickled red onion and jalapeno slices. The brine on the pickles was perfect!! Tart, sweet, spicy all represented well. Even son who is a french fry traditionalist helped devour this dish. Even though our meal was also good, I will absolutely come back JUST FOR THE POLENTA FRIES and the drinks! On to entrees, son ordered the Mac Daddy appetizer as an additional side dish to go with his Bees Knees Chicken Sandwich with sweet potato fries. This craggy chicken breast is MASSIVE, hanging out of the bun on all sides. Very tender and juicy, he consumed the whole thing while the liberally applied honey sauce dripped down his arms. He also consumed all the Mac Daddy, pronouncing it creamy and cheesy. I think it was a little small for $13 but it was delicious. I ordered the American Burger, no bun, also with sweet potato fries. The meat was excellent, a nice sear and crunch edges with good quality beef. I asked for a side of ranch dressing to dip my fries into, and it was an excellent homemade version. Chef James told me he works to get the perfect viscosity for coating the fries, and he was successful! Husband had the Hot AF Chicken Sandwich, another huge craggy breaded fried chicken breast, with regular french fries. He got the pickles on the side, and cut the gigantic sandwich in half for leftovers. The habanero sauce on this burger is very spicy, but not deadly. It had a lot of raw onion under the bun. The buns are branded or dark toasted on top. No one complained. The size of the gigantic chicken breast in these sandwiches is truly comical. No one laughed. Too busy stuffing our faces! Although he did mix up our sides, Chef James ran a remarkable meal for us solo. We didn't have room for dessert, but they do have a couple on the menu. Check was handled efficiently, and we left James to his devices. I hope the restaurant saw other guests that night, and our dedicated host found it worthwhile to open the doors Thursday. I think he is really invested in the success of this place, and would love to send everyone I know to try it!

This is the only place I have ever been that they were inedible. The cheese was gelatinous and couldn't even be spread with a knife. Food took forever, over an hour for just one burger. The fries are good and hot but pretty salty. The burger had some strange aftertaste and just wasn't good. The gentleman sitting next to us were in agreement with their food/drinks. So many amazing restaurants, this just isn't it.

The staff and service were friendly and attentive right from the start. The drinks were fantastic--a little too easy to drink! ​As for the food, the short ribs I ordered were incredible, and my wife really enjoyed her Mac and cheese. The only real miss of the night was my daughter's beef stroganoff. They swapped traditional egg noodles for spaghetti-style noodles, and overall the dish just missed the mark for her. Thankfully, the desserts brought things back on a high note--they were absolutely delicious. Overall, a solid spot with great atmosphere, service, and drinks.

Instead, we were publicly embarrassed and treated like criminals for absolutely no reason. After we were seated, I closed the curtain because the table next to us was loud and obnoxious. Minutes later, the manager, Hannah, walked over and decided our entire group was "too intoxicated" to be served. Not a single person in our group was causing a scene, being disrespectful, or acting out of control. We were sitting at our table, ordering dinner. What makes this even more ridiculous is that after taking our drink order, Hannah personally brought out three green tea drinks in champagne glasses. Then, almost immediately afterward, she decided we were somehow too intoxicated to stay. Which is it? If we were supposedly too drunk to be there, why were drinks being served in the first place? We had already ordered what would have been around a $700 meal, and instead of being treated with basic respect, we were stereotyped because we were a bachelorette party. It felt like Hannah had already made up her mind before giving us any chance to prove otherwise. Restaurants absolutely have the right to refuse service to genuinely intoxicated guests. What they should not do is make assumptions based on the type of celebration or the size of a group. This wasn't responsible service--it was poor judgment, inconsistent management, and an incredibly embarrassing way to treat paying customers. We'll happily spend our money somewhere that values its guests instead of profiling them. !!! DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR BUSINESS!!! We ended up at ZUZUs, they treated us with respect and dignity. Food was 10/10.

However, at Windsor it's more than just beer and wine and their cocktail list is amazing.

We sat on the patio which I love, they had misters on and it was fantastic. My only critique is that I hate the bathroom situation. There aren't enough for how crowded the place gets so you often find yourself standing in line. So, pro tip, go before you have to GO... if ya know what I mean, ha!

The food options are great too. I ordered the fried chicken after hearing so many good things about it. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown for me. It was super crispy and juicy, but also really salty, which kind of overpowered the flavor. The mac & cheese was pretty basic, but the Matador and breakfast sandwich were both solid choices. And don't forget to check out the ice cream shop next door! They have some really good flavors. Overall, still a great spot for brunch, drinks, and an amazing deal.
