| - Oh Wally's... What do you really say about Wally's? It's open super late (3am weekdays/4am weekends), which makes it the perfect SquareOne-area, post-bar place to get food whether you're looking for something at 3am, or the next day when you wake up with that pounding headache and grumbling tummy and are looking for a greasy spoon... they'll be there, ready and waiting for you.
I personally have only been in the morning, so all of my experiences are breakfast-related. And speaking of breakfast, it's good. I mean, it probably isn't that healthy, but it tastes delicious. For about $7 you can get eggs (2), bacon (2), sausage (2), breakfast potatoes (more than 2) and toast (2). You really don't need more than that. Yesterday I got adventurous and ordered a bacon grilled cheese. OMG it was good. A bit nostalgic, because it reminded me exactly of the grilled cheese's that my grandpa used to make me as a kid... it was perfect. White bread with lots of margarine on them, 2 slices of cheese and bonus bacon. I wasn't like over the top hungry, so that was just enough food for me. At $4, I think that's a bargain.
Now, the decor is something you're really going to have to get over. It probably hasn't been refinished since the 70's... orange fabric seats which are in very bad shape (as a matter of fact, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they used to be orange vinyl, and the plastic layer has just worn off in the last 40 years of nearly 24/7 traffic), and an overall look that leaves a lot to be desired. There is always lots of parking which is great.
At the end of the day, it's a REAL business, owned by REAL people, not some standardized chain. I think these businesses deserve to be supported, which is why I've given Wally's 4 stars, when in reality, maybe it should only have 3.5.
