Stopped to have a great lunch, Our server was Tiffany and was great, I had never been at Wally' s before but hear how great, so when ask if I wanted a bowl of Clam-chow, told her had allergies to shell fish, she was very nice explained that all fish cook together, so I should not partake of the Fish &Chips I had ordered, So I orders the Cheeseburger with bacon and was very please, because of Tiffany thoughtfulness I was able to enjoy my lunch with my friends didn't have any health problems. Again a great to THANKS to Tiffany... read more

Favorite Seafood Spot on the Sound – We used to live in Seattle and always volunteered to pick up friends at Sea-Tac so as to have an excuse to visit Wallys's for lunch or dinner. Now that we moved away, whenever we come back for a visit, we plan our trip so as to have to stop for lunch or dinner on the way to our favorite Seafood Place in the Northwest. Chowder, bucket of clams, Salmon and Halibut, even the combo platter are all favorites with our family. We always pick up an extra quart of chowder and bring it as a gift ou... read more

Amazing-Best-Ever Chowder – Whenever I come back home, a stop at Wally's is essential for my visit. I have travelled all over the country and have not found any chowder that compared, even living in New England for 5 years. The white chowder is a meal in itself. The service is always friendly, and restaurant clean. Recommend dining outside during the summer for a sunny and sea-air filled experience. The nautical knick-knacks add to the fun marine flair.

Can you say Chowdah.... They sure can – I love a good chowder. I'm always on a quest for the best chowder. The folks here have a winner here. Potatoes are the right size and texture. Spices are spot on. And the clams? They're not playing hide and seek here. I have been here probably 8 times and have yet to have a spoonful that didn't have several clam bits of goodness. I've had their fish and chips and is very good too. They run an all you can eat fish and chips and chowder which is a pretty good deal, although I tend to go ... read more

Excellent Clam Chowder – I had read previous reviews of this place and thought my family and I better check it out. First time we went we had the beer battered fish and chips (fresh fish) and that alone was fantastic. My husband and I had never had clam chowder before so we were hesitant to order, but the waitress kindly brought us a sample to try. It was outstanding! We both wished we had ordered that instead, but it gave us a reason to come back. Instead of the fancy Sunday brunch I had reserved for Easter Sunday, we went ... read more

Excellent - Local Restaurant – Anything on the menu is good but the chowder is the best of any I have ever eaten. The chowder is a must.

Wally's Chowder Still Reigns Supreme – I was in Seattle area recently and Wally's was recommended to me. Wally's best item is the clam chowder, man is it great! Lot's of big clams unlike other chowder's with barely recognizable bits of clam. If you're nearby, definitely stop by.

awesome – The name says it all. I was there on Monday, luck have it, for all you can eat fish (cod) and chips. For only a dollar more you can have a cup of their superb chowder. I had to get it since that was what they seemed famous for. Boy was I right, the chowder had huge clams in there and the soup was so thick and creamy I was almost full right there. Then my fish and chips came and they were delicious. I had to get a second helping just to cash in on my "all you can eat" deal. Great place, with a nice view. Never knew ... read more
