Wally’s NW Soul - Reviews

My experience at Wally's was fantastic! The service was great and the staff were incredibly friendly. The food was absolutely mouthwatering 💛💛💛. I'll definitely be back for more. We L🩵VE you Wally!

As someone who grew up in New Orleans and knows southern cooking well, I was eager to try Wally's. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The loud music near the cash register made ordering difficult. I ordered the catfish plate with potato salad and candied yams, along with hush puppies and a large side of red beans and rice. The food was a letdown. The red beans and rice needed more flavor, with too much rice and insufficient onions and bell pepper. My potato salad was okay, but the sweet pickles were overpowering. The catfish, which I expected to be large filets, arrived as small, dense pieces. Even the hush puppies lacked seasoning. The candied yams were the best part, but that's hard to mess up. For over $35, the value was poor. Wally's has little competition in Seattle, but in Louisiana, this would not survive. This was my first and last visit.

My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. There were several issues, including a lack of basic amenities like a lock on the bathroom, no soap, and no toilet seat covers. We also ran out of napkins, which made eating chicken wings difficult. The food was decidedly mid, and for the $70 we spent, it was a significant letdown. The fried lobster was the only redeeming dish. We will not be returning due to the poor customer service and what felt like a poorly ran company. I suggest the staff focus more on customer satisfaction and food quality rather than spending time on karaoke.

As someone who recently moved here from Nashville, I've been on the hunt for a great soul food spot, and I'm so glad I found this place! I tried the hot honey lemon pepper catfish with mac & cheese and yams, and it was absolutely delicious – it truly felt like home. The strawberry crunch pound cake was also yummy. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Wally, who was super cool and ensured I had everything I needed. The entire staff was friendly, and the food was excellent, making it a 10/10 experience. Thank you for the wonderful time!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the catfish, which was delicious and well-seasoned. The greens were awesome, and the mac and cheese was amazing! The prices are decent, and I look forward to eating there again soon!

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. I visited with a friend and we ordered two Catfish poboy meals with fries, and two orders of Mac and cheese. Upon receiving the order, I noticed that one of the poboys was missing fries. The fish in the poboy was overcooked, which was disappointing. However, the Mac and cheese was good. Despite the decent Mac and cheese, I found the price to be insane for that quality.

My experience at this restaurant was truly amazing! The soul food was incredibly authentic, and the home style candy yams and mac n cheese were the best I've had around. The chicken was absolute perfection. Thank you, Wally!

My experience at the restaurant was amazing! The food was fire and very delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Catfish Chicken Combo and the Peach Cobbler Cheesecake. The service was also great. The reviewer rated Service: 5, Atmosphere: 5, and Food: 5.

Today my husband and I tried Wally's for the first time, and they did not disappoint. The music, service, and food were all amazing. My husband had the fried lobster, greens, and catfish. I enjoyed the mac n cheese, candy yams, greens, and buffalo lemon pepper wings. The food was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be going back; it was worth the 40-minute drive. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The collared greens were absolutely BOMB, a definite highlight. However, the catfish was just okay. The jambalaya was disappointing, essentially just fluffy rice and not a true representation of the dish. Overall, there was no bad food, but some dishes were better than others.
