It's difficult to not think of Wally's as a poor man's Buc-ee's. The template for the store is very similar to that store with the beaver mascot. It's a little uncanny, actually. They've got the wall of jerky. They've got the restrooms set up in the same area of the store. (Wally's also claims to have the cleanest restrooms.) They've got the people at the entrances greeting you with a semi-enthusiastic "Welcome to Wally's!" They've got the brisket sandwiches. I could list a lot more similarities, but you get the gist. If you've been to Buc-ee's, it will be hard to not compare the two convenience stores. But if you haven't been to Buc-ee's? Then baby, you're in for a treat! Wally's is really cool, actually. I tried to stay neutral during my Wally's visit, and absorb it as though I had never stepped into a Buc-ee's. Because Wally's deserves a shot to shine on its own accord. This place has an amazing array of food. The middle of the store is basically a food court, with grab-and-go hot-food options like pizza slices, burritos, soft tacos, brisket sandwiches, cheeseburgers, chicken tenders and lots more. Then there are the refrigerated items, like tuna sandwiches, salads, wraps, and even a thing called an egg BLT, which is basically a hard-boiled egg cut in half with bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiched between it. I think I'm going to have to make these at home! Thanks for the inspo, Wally's. I've been told that the things to get here are the chopped brisket sandwich and the house-made kettle chips. I eschewed that advice and went with my heart instead, and got the El Fuego Burrito, which has shredded beef, white cheese sauce, black beans, corn and green chiles in it. It was alright! Maybe I eat too slowly, but by the time I was halfway done, the burrito was lukewarm. Also, the burrito was not as "fuego" as I thought it would be -- it's very mild, with almost no spiciness to it. So, not bad, but I think I might get something else next time. My kids got pizza slices: one pepperoni and one cheese. The kid who got the cheese pizza said that it didn't come with sauce! Just cheese and crust. I don't know if that was a mistake or if that's the way the cheese pizza is. We also got the smash burger (it was more like a regular burger) and the cheese tots, which were fried discs of cheese, basically. The food was fine, if you're evaluating it in terms of restaurant quality. But it was above average for a gas station. We visited and got a bunch of food with the intention of eating it there, but keep in mind: Wally's has no tables anywhere, indoors or outdoors! They want you to get your crap and GTFO, so there are no tables or chairs to be seen anywhere on the premises. Also, this is not a semi-truck-friendly place. No semis allowed! Just regular vehicles. But they have dozens and dozens of gas pumps, in case you need to fuel your regular vehicle. read more

Came in about noon today and whee, what a place. Pros - Staff were super friendly - Food was good and got a bunch for your money (brisket sandwich and tots were great) - Fountain soda/coffee/tea section was insane with selection - Bathrooms were very clean and well maintained Cons - Little pricy, but not surprising for a convenience store/gas station Worth a stop and a great Buc-ees substitution! read more

Well this place is huge. This is their biggest store! 84 pumps, a Cafe with plenty of choices, pizza, smash burgers, brisket sandwiches, beef jerk and more. This is not you average convenience store. You can spend hours here and spend a lot of money. lol Yesterday I tried the jalapeño beef jerky, and a slice of pepperoni. Pizza was decent you can buy the slice or the whole pie. Oh and they have fresh popcorn as well. I didn't get to explore everything because it was late but I'll be back another day passing by can't wait. This store open 1 week ago yesterday 7/8/26 read more

Finally, Wally's is open!! It took a couple of years but they're in business! Lots of fuel pumps! $2.98 for unleaded today. It's a huge store! Bright and open and their theme is the Great American Roadtrip. This location is located right off interstate 65 as a major thouroghfare Gary, IN all the way down south to Mobile, Alabama. Wally's started in Illinois and I'm glad they've started to expand. They have fresh popcorn, pizza, jerky, pulled pork, smash burgers you name it. I got the cheesy tots and the chicken tender sandwich. Loved them both. The chicken tenders were big and they had cheese and a nice sauce on it. The cheesy tots were good and you got a lot of them. They had a Photo Booth, beer arcade, pizza stand, grill stand, slushie, ice cream stand, and fresh assorted flavors of popcorn popping all day. They have nice tins you can get your popcorn in. There's so much to see and it would be a nice place to stop if you were on a long road trip and need to stretch your legs and get some "roadside" snacks. They have isles of snacks. I'm going to have to try the coffee, the pizza, goey butter cake those were things I didn't get this time. Lots to see that's for sure! read more

This is like a 3/4-size Buc-ee's. Big store, lots of fuel pumps, no semis allowed. And it's not nearly as busy or crazy inside as a Buc-ee's. I like it. There's several of full-service counters for pizza, beef jerky, ice cream, baked goods, popcorn, and coffee. There's also the hot food grab-and-go island with chicken tender sandwiches, brisket, cheeseburgers, housemade chips, etc. By the way, the sliced brisket (they also have chopped) here is better than Buc-ee's. read more

Finally made it to Wally's, and my kids and I had a great experience! We loved the atmosphere--it's clean, fun, and such a cool place to stop. We're so happy to have a Wally's just 20 minutes from us, so we don't have to make the trip to Buc-ee's anymore. We tried the popcorn, pulled pork sandwich, fish sandwich, and the Chicago mix popcorn, and everything was delicious. The real stars of the visit, though, were the fresh-made cinnamon roll and the warm chocolate chip cookie. They were absolutely amazing and worth the trip by themselves! We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. If you're in the area, Wally's is definitely worth checking out! read more

Brand new Wally's located in Whitestown that just opened. Located right off 65 Wally's is a great pit stop for road trips since it's open 24/7. Wally's is compared to Buc-ee's although it's a smaller version. Wally's has a good size section of unique merchandise and all the Wally gear one could ask for. I grabbed a couple slices of pizza, a snickerdoodle cookie, cinnamon roll, and a orange cream slushie. Wally's is reasonably priced. I did sample the pulled pork and brisket and I have to say I like it more than Buc-ee's. All team members I encountered in each department were very friendly! They also have a Beer Arcade full of a variety of adult beverages. Overall, Wally's is a great place to stop to get gas and grab snacks. I'll definitely be making another stop at Wally's for my upcoming trip to Chicago! read more

Wally's - Hot food here - Gas Stations Near Me - Whitestown, Indiana

Grand opening day, so its definitely busy in there. The main mission was to secure a slushie, and I did just that. But I also got some homemade potato chips, so hot, delicious, and crispy! There were several stations around the Great American pit stop; they had a popcorn station, pizza station, grilled food station (wallydogs, cheesy tots, burgers, chicken sandwiches, brisket sandwiches, etc.), wall of snacks/candy, variety of Jerky, coffee station, slushie station, and soda fountain station- that was unfortunately out of order already. The staff I encountered were friendly, excited yet tired because it has been a 'rush all day' according to the cashier. Their are a plethora of gas pumps, and currently unleaded gas is 2.99 per gallon here! Very clean establishment and a few spills occurred at the slushie station but staff were right on it. They also sell store merchandise and travel stop needs too. Its a lot to see, I need to go back and check it out again! But a success 1st trip and introduction to Wally's. read more

We Americans love us some oversized gas stations. (haha) We can't get enough of Wally's and Buc-ee's. This place is fine. There are a ton of food options. I loved the jalapeno cheddar popcorn and cinnamon rolls, but I wasn't impressed with the rest. The Wally's chips were okay. Their buckeye candy wasn't real buckeyes...they were more like Reese's peanut butter dots...and they were just okay. Wally's alcohol appeared to be a little cheaper than other gas stations in the northern suburbs. The staff was very nice and helpful. They kept the place sparkling clean, which is really impressive for such a large gas station. I appreciate that it's open 24 hours. read more

Travelers with children beware! there's a "no bag" policy and one of their uncover staff informed me apparently diaper bags are not allowed, I tried to explain to them my child needed changed and they couldn't have cared less Will absolutely NEVER be returning! read more

Nice idea, not a Buc-ee's, but they were out of their main items at 2P in the afternoon. No brisket, no pulled pork, just sold out. The staff member said this was a on-going issue, trying to get supplies from the distribution system. Not a deal breaker, but come-on ay least have in stock the items you make you advertising on. read more
