Wally’s has the best customers, and now there’s an easy way to do a little good while you’re here.

When you pay your bill, you can make a small donation to the Des Moines Area Food Bank, helping provide food for local families and neighbors who need it.

A few cents or a few dollars may not seem like much, but when a whole community pitches in, it adds up fast.

Thanks for eating local, supporting local, and helping us take care of our neighbors.

Since 1993, Wally's Chowder House has been serving up the flavors of the Pacific Northwest just steps from the water.

It's been the place where locals gather over bowls of clam chowder, baskets of fish & chips, and memories that keep bringing them back.

Some things are worth preserving - and we think Wally's is definitely one of them🥰
