Had lunch yesterday, Friday at Wally‘s. Very nice place, good atmosphere and clean. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful and professional. We ordered the sampler platter and was extremely happy with what we received. The food was delicious and the sides were coleslaw and onion petals. The coleslaw was fantastic and the onion petals were very tasty. Needed a to go box because of the portion was so large. The sampler platter has ribs, quarter chicken, pulled pork and sliced brisket and it was all prepared beautifully. Five different types of barbecue sauce at the table and our serve kept our sweet tea glasses filled. We needed it to go box because the portions are huge and also got a serving of Brunswick stew to take home. The stew was excellent and filled with vegetables and shredded meat. A little too spicy for my taste buds, but it was delicious nonetheless. Highly recommend stopping at Wally’s if you enjoy excellent barbecue and excellent service

Three of us arrived for dinner tonight, we were greeted and seated quickly. Leah was our server, and was top notch. She kept the drinks full, and got us our food hot and fast. This being our first visit, wasn't sure what to expect. We were blown away by the very generous portion sizes and amazing BBQ. We are already talking about what we'll get next time. Thanks Leah for making our service amazing, and cheers to the chef for the mouth watering BBQ dinner!

Excellent BBQ! The portions are huge & literally everything our family ordered was delicious. Be sure to try the ribs, pulled pork and brisket - and don't forget the hush puppies (best we've ever had)! Peices are very reasonable, especially given the large portion sizes.

Years ago, there was a BBQ place in Sarasota called The Oaks. It had been there forever and was a FAVORITE place to go when we came down. When my husband and I moved here years ago, I bragged on the bbq... they closed right before we got here and I have been looking for a place ever since. Fast forward to a move to Port Charlotte. We passed Walllys a few times and I said we needed to try it. Oh my god. What were we waiting for? The menu has anything you could want and the portions are enough to make a grown man cry. It’s not fancy, for sure, but our server was terrific. Attentive, but not over bearing. Rolls of paper towels on the table, a bone/scrap bucket, five kinds of bbq sauce. And Mac and cheese. Green beans. The cornbread is nothing like you’d expect and delicious. (I hate cornbread, FYI) I wish I could have tried every single side. Everything was flavorful and juicy. No dry, dull food here. Don’t judge by the outside area. It’s beyond worth it and this was a gem of a find!!! Ohhhh! The southern shrimp appetizer? The shrimp were a little overdone BUT - the peppers that were underneath? Totally made me overlook that fact. Did we need an appetizer? No - but we had zero clue what the dinners would be.
