Wally's

With so many good breakfast options in LBI, deciding which one is the best is a challenging task... but after this morning's breakfast at Wally's in Surf City, we know where the best breakfast omelets, burritos and Tots reside! Yes, definitely order the Boxcar Tots! The open layout at Wally's has lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Kind and helpful servers are attentive to all your food related questions and preferences. When we looked at the breakfast, lunch / dinner menus, it was difficult not to order a little bit of everything! Such an amazing variety of breakfast options, from biscuits and gravy to peanut butter pancakes to tasty egg sandwiches. Not to mention delicious gluten free dishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert (homemade...yum). Highly recommend Wally's for any family dining gathering and say hello to Linda, she's the best! Also, join the waitlist on their website to hold your place in line before you head out. Looking forward seeing everyone at Wally's again soon!

Wally’s was overall a nice place to visit! Would definitely come back.

PROS:
- Server was fantastic! We had Calli and she was so sweet.
- The atmosphere is very cute and inviting, nice for a date breakfast.
- The menu options are creative and appetizing, with some unique choices.

CONS:
- The iced coffee was very bitter and it didn’t seem like they had many coffee options (like lattes, espressos, cappuccinos, e.g.) outside of regular black coffee.
- The blue outdoor seats are SUPER uncomfortable to sit in unless you’re very very skinny. My husband and I had to scooch toward the edge of our seats and we noticed other people around us had to as well. The chair backs just dig right into your butt/hips.

NEUTRAL:
- I ordered the cookie dough pancakes and they were definitely an interesting choice. The description said cookie dough inside and out, but I’m not sure that I could taste it inside. And the cookie dough balls tasted kind of artificial. However, the pancakes were still good and I finished most of them. And maybe they’re someone’s exact cup of tea! But they were a little too artificial for me to want to reorder them. Next time, I might try the lemon blueberry pancakes!

Excellent place to eat on LBI. It’s been a favorite for years. Good size servings. The New England clam chowder, might be the best I’ve ever had. (I’ve eaten it at over 60 restaurants…) Cheesesteak and pulled pork are excellent. All food is fairly priced, especially for the beach. The restaurant is often very full, but we were seated in a few minutes on a Saturday night before 6:30. Staff was very attentive. Pie was amazing! A must have if you eat here. A great place for a date or big family dinner. The open air dining was wonderful. I only wish they had pretzel 🥨 rolls for the pulled pork. Fast service, three courses in under an hour and we did not feel rushed and had leftovers for dinner the next night. I’ll be back again and again. A great affordable place to eat, not to fancy, not simple, just right for a nice dinner after a day on the beach. (Use the “waitlist” on google for a table, no reservations)
