For decades, Wally's has been the top dining spot in Marsh Harbour, not a small accomplishment given the variety and quality of restaurants in this high end tourist town. The food continues to be top notch and the ambiance stands out as the place is based in a charming old building. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the drinks supercharged.... More

Wally's is in a nice location and is mostly an open air seating arrangement. Service was good. I had the conch chowder and blackened grouper. Chowder is best on the island. Grouper was good but nothing special. Prices are in the medium-high range for the island as are most restaurants in proximity.

The food here was very good on our second try. The first night the place was unexpectedly closed. Service was a little slow and they closed the kitchen in the middle of our meal. The food was good though.

This is a fine restaurant with imaginative dishes. Conch soup is the best in the area. Nice setting and good service.

Very good food with great service. Rather more imaginative menu than most other Abaco restaurants. No visit is complete without one of their signature "Wallys" cocktails. Nice outside deck to sit and eat on.

The food is absolutely fantastic and the service is excellent! Your meals are prepared to your liking and the entree selection is impressive. The only complaint I have is that they are not open every night...but well worth planning your vacation around. Their specialty drink, the "Wally" is strong and memorable!! I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Wally's has the well-deserved reputation of being the finest restaurant in Marsh Harbour. We were there on a Tuesday night for dinner. Excellent conch chowder with big chunks of meat. You can get it with a tomato or cream base. Conch fritters are great. Nice shrimp and grouper. Top notch food all the way. Service was attentive and efficient, but... More

First let me start by saying this place is known for its great dinners, but we decided to meet some friends here for lunch. We began with 4, service was prompt and courteous. However when my fish arrived breaded and deep fried and I told the waitress that I had ordered it grilled, everything went down from there. I would... More

Went with friends to lunch here. It's a favorite of theirs and we had never eaten here before. Enjoyed a delicious piña colada, conch fingers and home made key lime pie. We will make a return visit here. Service was good and great ambience on the covered patio.

As with all bahamian restaurants Wally's service could be better but that said, great spot. Careful of the Wally's cocktail...it will get you. Always fresh local fish options, one menu in the restaurant as you walk in on a chalkboard. It's changed hands in recent years but still remained good. Try their grouper smothered when available and their fried conch... More
