🩵 Best Family Restaurant 🩵
Being named Best Family Restaurant in the very first Best of LBI contest means so much to us.

Thank you to everyone who cast a vote for Wally's. You definitely "get us" and have lifted our spirits during a season that has been anything but ordinary. In the midst of rebuilding, you all have given us another reason to smile.

A special thank you to the people behind Best of LBI for creating a new way to celebrate the incredible businesses and people that make LBI such a special place.

This recognition is another reminder of how loved and supported we truly are. Moments like this keep us motivated and excited for the day we welcome everyone back through our doors.

From our family to yours, thank you for being part of our story.

When the unexpected happens, you quickly learn who shows up.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to D Brown HVAC for their incredibly fast response following the fire at Wally's. In a time filled with uncertainty and countless moving pieces, their team stepped in immediately, bringing professionalism, expertise and a genuine willingness to help.
Small businesses don't recover alone. It takes a community of people and local companies willing to roll up their sleeves and be part of the solution. D Brown HVAC did exactly that, and we are deeply grateful.
Thank you for helping us take another step toward reopening our doors and serving the community we love. Your support means so much to us ❤️

Some people don't wait to be asked, they just show up.

In the days following the fire at Wally's, Lou from Lou's Electric was one of those people. From the moment he heard what happened, his response was simple: "What do you need and how can I help?"

Whether it was lending a hand, making calls or offering his expertise, Lou has been there every step of the way. Not because he had to, but because that's the kind of person he is.

Lou, thank you for your quick response, your countless offers to help and your unwavering support. We are incredibly grateful for everything you've done and continue to do.

From all of us at Wally's, thank you. ❤️

11 days ago, our world changed in a matter of minutes and today, we're grateful to share some encouraging progress.

✅ Demo is complete.
✅ Dehumidifiers have done their job.
✅ Water service has been restored.
✅ Electricity is back on.

While there's still a long (and somewhat overwhelming) road ahead before we can welcome you back through our doors, these milestones feel significant to us and we wanted to share them with you.

We continue to be overwhelmed by the kindness, encouragement and support from our community, customers, fellow businesses, first responders, contractors, friends, and neighbors. Your messages and offers to help have carried us through a difficult week.

Wally's has always been about more than a building. It's about the people who gather here, celebrate here, work here, and call this place part of their community. We're moving forward, one day at a time, and we're more determined than ever to reopen and get back to doing what we love most....serving all of you.

Thank you for sticking with us. More updates to come as we continue rebuilding.

❤️ The Wally's Family

We are so thankful to Steve and his team at Security Dynamics of Hamilton, NJ!
The systems you put in place worked perfectly and played an enormous part in the quick response of the fire departments arrival. It isn't lost on us how much worse it could have been.

Gosline Fire protection LLC - Jay, you are the best! Your sprinkler system worked exactly as it should have and kept us from losing the entire building, as the fire departments rushed to arrive. We so appreciate your immediate response, showing up the next day and even the owner, Matt, coming out himself.
