| - So after an exhausting day the man and I decided we wanted to be waited on for dinner. However we couldn't come up with a style of food we were hungry for. Now, when this happens my boyfriend invariably reverts to his inexplicable love for TGI Fridays. I don't really understand the infatuation. Friday's is fine, I guess, but when there are so many other better options why bother? Plus there isn't one remotely close to my house. So i start rattling off other pub-ish type places in the area where he might have a similar (but better) experience. We settled on Wally's. I had been once before but this was his first time.
When we walked in, the host gave us our choice of seating and we decided on a high top near the bar. As we settled into our seats and took a look around, we agreed that the ambiance and decor are homey and welcoming without being obnoxious. In fact, it sort of looks like a low key Friday's.
Our waiter came by promptly and took drink orders. Wally's has a decent beer selection and the bf thought they had a nice whiskey selection as well. We noticed how good the calamari looked as it was delivered to a nearby table and ordered that to start. As we waited for it to arrive, we concentrated on our figuring out our entree orders. I ultimately went with the chicken quesadilla off the appetizer menu and the bf ordered the Frisco burger. The server was accommodating and helpful, making suggestions and answering questions as needed. He specifically mentioned that the chipotle mayo on the burger was fantastic.
When the calamari arrived, we dug in. The calamari well well cooked, with crispy breading and tender meat. The marinara it was served with though was underwhelming. We sat for a minute wondering whether to send it back or just deal. Then, my bf said, "I wonder how that chipotle mayo would be with the calamari?" Genius. We flagged down server and he agreed that the mayo sauce was great with the calamari. In fact, it was a vast improvement. They should just serve both sauces with the calamari. Or ditch the marinara altogether.
When our entrees arrived, bf was pleased with the mix of onion rings, fries and sweet potato fries served with the burger.The burger was cooked to order and similar to a patty melt. My quesadilla, while not Mexican restaurant quality, was decent for the environment. It was tasty and I appreciated the sides of sour cream, avocado and salsa it came with.
Our server was attentive throughout the meal and checked in on us occasionally. He offered dessert, but we were too stuffed. Overall, we had a great experience. I enjoy Keegan's as a neighborhood pub spot, but I like Wally's better. We'll be back for sure.
