Wally's is one of those great neighborhood, family restaurants. Wally himself almost always seems to be there to greet you, chat with the kids and make sure everyone is taken care of and happy. The food is always good and the staff are amazing. They seriously find the best kids to work at this place. And it keeps Phoenix feeling small town, as you almost always seem to run into other people in the neighborhood there (like the almost-famous Jackie Hutt who I just ran into there last week...). And, best of all, they are so accommodating to kids and families. Grab a seat out on the patio and let the kids play in the grass while you wait for your food. Oh, and, of course, I love supporting the local businesses. Go see Wally and tell him we said hi!
