I finally stopped in there tonight & I am so glad I did ! The pulled pork &smashed potatoes were awesome! I can't wait to go back! Update: I finally went here on a Saturday afternoon for the ribeye special, I had heard only good things about the steak night & I had to find out for myself. WOW! It was as good as everyone had said! I have had many steaks in my life & this place is now my # 1! The atmosphere & service are second to none..

Stopped by this place for BBQ after a hike. Saw the great reviews online, and they were not wrong at all. Just amazing BBQ. Had a sampler plate. Ribs, Brisket, pulled pork, all amazing and tender. His pulled pork was so great and moist, I needed another pound of it. His beans were super great as well. My wife got the Turkey, and said it was the best she had ever had in a restaurant and very moist. The owner was very nice as well, and we talked BBQ after our meal for a bit. Sat outside by the firepit because it was a super nice day for November, and we had our puppy with us, but the inside restaurant looked very nice. Just great all the way around.

Wally's is the best kept secret in Southern Illinois. The craft BBQ is outstanding. All the sides are phenomenal. Saturday is Steak Night and, he has the best steak I have ever had. Getting ready to open the doors on his restaurant soon, can't wait!!!Kid-friendliness: There are a bunch of giant outdoor games to entertain while you wait for your food.

Setting is small old time diner / bar. Very clean and waitress helpful and friendly. Absolutely great food and service. Had the steaks because reviews were good. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. Husband very picky-said best steak he has ever had out. Cooked just like he wanted it. Grilled Vegetables, Smashed potatoes, baked bean's - can't remember the name but wow they were good. Big portions but everything was so good had to have dessert. Had apple butter bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream. Oh yeah. Save some room. Loved it.

Just happened upon this place and gave it a try. The food was GREAT!! The owner (I assume) made small talk with us while he was gathering our order off the grill. The baked beans had small pieces of brisket in them. The meat was falling off the ribs and the brisket was so tender it was like it almost melted in my mouth. We recently moved to the area so we will be repeat customers for sure. Great little BBQ establishment here!

We went to Wally's yesterday to eat for the first time. This food melted in your mouth, it was so good. My husband took 2 bites of his steak and said this is by far one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. The ribs were so good, the meat just fell right off them and they were not fatty at all.If you are passing thru Ellis Grove, stop and make sure that you don't miss out on tasting Wally's food.Parking: There is plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Large tic tac toe outside along with a large connect four. lots of grass for the kiddos to run around on.

I bought the brisket with 2 sides and it was excellent!!! This man knows how to cook! We found him in Google maps as we were passing through going back home to Springfield Illinois. I wish this guy lived near us! I highly recommend you Google him and drive out there.

The food is the best around. I drive all the way from stl side of Columbia just to eat here. The owner is super nice and takes sanitation super serious he is always washing his hands and wearing gloves while working with your meal. Cannot recommend this place enough. Great food. Great service. Unbeatable prices.

My favorite is the smoked turkey and burnt end beans, but really, everything I've had has been amazing! Friendly, homey atmosphere. This place is a weekly staple for our family.

His steaks are fork tender. Perfectly grilled, I requested medium rare, and that is what I enjoyed! Everything I have ever eaten was wonderful from Wally!
