Wally’s NW Soul

I loved the fried lobster and the Mac and cheese. I was not too crazy about the catfish, it was thin, hard, bland and overcooked. The shrimp was standard, nothing special. The mac and cheese was amazing. It was very creamy and seasoned. The greens were a little sweet, I do not like sweet greens, at all. I didn't really care for the honey garlic wings, the sauce is better at Fatburger. Maybe I will get plain or a different flavor on the side. The only thing I would come back for is the fried lobster and mac and cheese. I also want to try the rice and gravy and cabbage. Staff was OK. The lady at the register packs up people's food with NO gloves and she walks away of you don't order fast enough. I don't tip for OK service.

Omg the wings at this place are fantastic! Juicy and meaty with a perfect crispiness. Very well priced for the quality and they are available in so many yummy flavors. There are several other tempting options on the menu (po-boy, smash burger, catfish) but so far I just can’t get enough of these delicious wings. The greens also have a lovely flavor with just the right amount of smokey vinegar taste. Fun, vibrant and modern vibe with a friendly staff. We are very lucky to have this exciting new restaurant right here in our neighborhood.

This place is so good! I just moved here from Nashville and have been looking for a good soul food spot so I’m glad I came in. I had the hot honey lemon pepper catfish with mac & cheese and yams - it was delicious and felt like home. I also got the strawberry crunch pound cake and it was also yummy. I ended up meeting the owner, Wally, and he was super cool, made sure I had everything I needed. Everyone in general was friendly and the food was good so 10/10 experience. Thank y’all for the great experience!

The food was amazing a 10 out of 10 I got candy. Yams wasn’t out the can. It was homemade mac & cheese 10 out of 10 catfish a 10 out of 10 and they give you a lot definitely worth the price in my. Opinion is way better than simply soul food. In my opinion some of simple soul food some is out of the can they food It’s not homemade. Definitely recommend this place. If you want soul food that’s good for your soul.🥰❤️

The food here is good. The service is pretty terrible, and the wait times are also really bad. They completely messed up my order (ordered fried chicken and ended up with chicken wings.. should have checked before leaving). Wait time was 20+ minutes… I get that being the case sometimes… not when employees are sitting around and some are out smoking MJ right next to the building. Did I enjoy the food? Yes. Will I go out of my way to visit this place again? Probably not.

Had a really good 1st time experience here! Lunch wasn’t super busy so we got to sit & eat! The staff flowed nicely, and the owner greeted, helped and engaged with all patrons! Catfish, shrimp, wings, Mac n cheese, red beans ALL WERE A 10/10!!!! Thee only thing we didn’t like is the ranch dressing! Outside of that, baby, we’ll be back again n again! Love it!!

10/10 experience at Wally’s! This was the fried chicken dinner with hot honey lemon pepper sauce, mac, and candy yams, and it was amazing! You can tell that everything is made in house. Service was also great, all of the staff were welcoming and courteous! Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!!

So I ordered at 7. I'll respect that yall close at 8 and around an hour before is close up time. I'm in the food industry I know. However I ordered the catfish Sammie and fries. Waited 52 min. Still ok, not an issue. I get my catfish sandwich nice portion. Wasn't a huge fan of the sandwich itself, took off the catfish pieces, but what the knee slapper was that there were literally only 13 fries. Now what imma do with that? My hungry ssa ready to dig in this food and I see 13 fries. Please don't take this the wrong way but I should have just cooked at home for the 52 min I waited and there only being 13 fries. Catfish was seasoned but I've had better. However I will be back to try the menu and to sit down and eat. Wish the portion were bigger for what I paid.

The Po'boys are 10/10 Peach cobbler cheesecake 10/10 Seasonings on nearly everything 10/10

This spot is top tier, if you are from the Midwest or south, it will feel like home. Got the wings, catfish, collards, mac, candied yams and the hush puppies. The wings didn't need anything except a napkin, helluh good. Seasoning was PERCECT. The cat fish was flavored and fried nice, wish the pieces were a little bigger. Mac n cheese was like stepping into blockbuster as a kid. Nostalgic baked mac n cheese. The collards?? FIRE. Perfectly Smokey, and salty, lil bit sweet. Hush puppies were flavored great, wish these were a lil bigger too. It's nice when the hush puppy is a lil moist inside and crispy on the outside. Overall id go an 8/10. It would be a 10/10 if the catfish and hush puppies were a lil bigger in size, less but larger would be better than smaller and more if that makes sense. Thank you!

Run don't walk here!!! The ambiance is on point: bright, clean, and welcoming. The food is amazing and I am not surprised, I have had the owners food at events all over the city throughout the years. My daughters and ai came in for lunch during the soft opening and we got a little of everything to share. Garlic butter wings and catfish dinner, fried chicken dinner and catfish po'boy with hush puppies, greens, yams, Mac and cheese. And the mango Koolaid. The food was all really well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Mac and cheese was baked with a perfectly golden top and so creamy!!! The roulade sauce is on point, lip smacking delish. The portions are huge, we left with a to of leftovers.

The food is amazing and has been consistently delicious. It has become my favorite go to spot. I highly recommend everything but the seafood platter is spectacular!

The food is absolutely delicious! Love the location and love that it's BLACK OWNED! Amazing experience every time I get food here and service is great. Shout out to my fam!

The cabbage seemed scorched or old. I was really disappointed because this place came highly recommended. We ordered a lot of food and I feel like I'm one n done with this spot

Yum!!! This was so good!!! Finally Seattle has a soul food go to spot. Fried chicken was juicy, fried catfish was seasoned right, collard greens was perfect, I love the Mac and cheese...so cheesy...
