Wally’s Family Restaurant

This place is by far is the worst restaurant to go for breakfast.
Starting from the condition of the place itself to the level of customer service is appalling.
Ordering food is not a problem but don’t expect to get your food brought to ur table, when the order is up they yell it out so the customer has to get up to get it. To make matters worse they will not give free refills on coffee if u happen to want more prepare to dish out $ 1.50 for a second one which they serve in a little tiny cup it’s ridiculous!
Food is mediocre and I would rather pay a little extra and go somewhere else.

This is my late night after 11pm go to place. It’s 2 minutes from where I live. I’ve been coming here for years. Prices are great service is great and the food is what you pay for. I like the old décor gives it that old diner feel. I mostly do takeout but I stay in on occasion. My go to is the club house simple but very good!!! #wallys

I’ve stopped by here a few times when I used to work nearby. This rating is based mostly off lunch.
Their service is a really rare positive experience for similar places. They take your order or suggest meals if you’re indecisive.
The food is prepared somewhat fresh. I usually get the homemade burgers which are grilled on the spot. I’ve seen the toppings chopped up fresh twice a day which is alright.
The burgers definitely taste homemade which is a good thing. And portions are decent for the price.
The atmosphere is the real downside to this place. Even looking from the outside you can tell it’s going to be a dingy old school diner. Not somewhere you’d take your client or your date. I honestly wouldn’t bring kids here either.
Summary: Great service. Good food. Needs renovating.

Meh! Not very good, it is what it is. Greasy spoon with convenient hours and mediocre food.

Did not like the place and my order came in incorrect. Food did not taste good. Come here only if you’re drunk, not for sober people.

If you’re looking for some good greasy food this is the place to go. The wings are amazing and huge with a good price. The menu is great. It does have a run down look and service is hit or miss but food and price is excellent.

Wally’s has been a Cooksville mainstay for far longer than I’ve even been alive. It’s not a ²⁴⁄₇ diner, but it’s open late enough to cater to even the most extreme night owls.
If their long hours weren’t indicative enough, Wally’s value proposition is in their convenience. You don’t go here for that special dish that’s made better here than anywhere else. They are an average diner, with average prices, and everything is just A-​OK.
One dish I would recommend, however, is their fish and chips. At $ 13 (not cheap, I know), you get two large slabs of deep fried fish with a generous helping of french fries. Personally, I like asking for everything to be made extra crispy. The meal also comes with a small container of coleslaw and tartar sauce. It’s not your traditional fish and chip meal, but it’s definitely more filling.
I’ve tried a few other dishes from here and was generally satisfied. The food quality is just fine. I’m confident in saying that you won’t be turned off by any of their food, but you won’t necessarily be wow’ed either, and sometimes, that’s just what you’re looking for.

This place has been around forever — a staple in Cooksville. A traditional «greasy spoon» spot with a diner menu — everything from burgers to beer to breakfast. Food is decent & so are the prices. Open late!

Love this place, go here all the time. The breakfast is awesome and only $ 8. Also get burgers, fish and chips, sandwiches, all great stuff. Big portions.

I loooove the milk shakes here *_​* ahhh.
The place itself looks run down, but if you think about it, it’s been around for over 20 years. I feel like it makes it feel more classic.
The service is hit and miss, some are kind of rude (when it’s busy) but when it’s not, they’re usually pretty friendly.
greasy spoon places are highclass for broke, university students, okay? leave me alone!

Sorry but I have to knock this back a few stars. YUCK — went there a couple of weeks ago and, let me tell you, it’s gone way downhill. My husband and I both ordered homeburgers with fries and gravy (coming off a hangover from a wedding the night before). The homeburger seriously reminded me of SPAM. It had that mushy, purée-​type texture and it was obvious that the meat was low-​grade. It also had some odd spice mixed in — might have been nutmeg. The fries were so greasy and had no salt but the gravy was alright. Anyway, we had to throw all the food out — nasty.

its a bit of a dump and a total greasy spoon but the food is decent for a Mel’s diner kinda place. I’m guessing this was a truck stop or something and the city sprang up around it. Its not gourmet cuisine but I’m sure you know that when you pull up in the parking lot. If you want a burger and are with some friends and dont want to worry about being loud or just want some bacon and eggs and you are in the area, its an OK place to stop. I’ve been going here for years and no matter how many times i say i need to eat more healthy food, once in a while the smell of bacon lures me back in

Take it for what it is, simple diner food. Reasonably price breakfast that tastes good. They make a good western sandwich. The décor reminds me of my childhood so it’s almost like eating at home. Service is quick and courteous. The washroom are a tad on the scary side but otherwise restaurant looks clean. So if anyone walks into this place and expects a gourmet experience needs to have his or her head checked!

From first glance, Wally’s may not seem much, with it’s outdated décor and style rivaling that of an 80’s diner. However, if you can look past it’s rough exterior, you’ll be amazed by the the wonderfully nostalgic food, the hardworking owners who are just so full of heart and overall a satisfying meal.
I come here pretty often, every time I’m feeling in need of some comfort, the food here just hits the spot without breaking the bank. $ 5 breakfast combos before 11am on weekdays (3 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, homefries and toast + coffee) HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG WITH THAT? Their homemade burger is really great as well, nice and juicy, and it’s made fresh every single day. Love their chicken souvlaki dinners, huge portions to fill even the hungriest bellys! Beer battered fish burger? Well, I’m getting over excited here, but you get the point.
The owners are so hardworking and friendly, it just makes you enjoy the food even more. Knowing that you’re contributing to a real business, with real faces and passion.
I’ve moved away from Mississauga now, but every time I pass by, I’ll make sure to stop at Wally’s for a burger or a poutine. It’s just a really charming place with cheap, good food, and lots of personality.

Wally’s is a greasy spoon diner. We placed our breakfast orders at the cashier. The cashier was nice enough to fill my coffee order into my own traveller mug that was much bigger than their coffee mug. She only charged me the regular price. The food was ready momentarily, and it tasted okay. The steak was a bit tough, though. The portion was okay. As the diner is 100% self serve, there is no free coffee refills, which I find uncommon in a diner. Secondly, the presentation of the food was not very good.

This place has been around for at least 20 – 30 years.
My earliest memory of this place was when I was 7 years old, when my father took me here after a shopping trip to Square One. That was over 20 years ago.
A long time ago, the massive condo development was nowhere to be seen in Mississauga. The streets were empty regularly, people still held doors for old ladies and women alike. It was a very different time.
Wally’s has survived the test of time — but no doubt exchanging owners over the years. Their menu, while nothing spectacular is of a simple, greasy spoon diner that perhaps was once a trucker stop in days gone by. Afterall, the highway is less than 5 minutes north of the location.
Anyway, your typical diner fanfare are all here, burgers, steaks, souvlaki, chicken and ribs, and all day breakfast items like eggs benedict, steak and eggs, bacon, etc.
Portions are generous, food is underwhelming and under seasoned, but cooked with love just right in especially the steaks. The burgers are huge patties of meat, with toppings that have obviously been sitting in the fridge all day. Definitely try the 12−15oz New York cut with the right thickness and cooked juicy. It would satisfy any meat lover’s cravings.
Wally’s décor looks like it belongs in the early 80s and late 70s — as if it was stuck in time refusing to change along with its surroundings. Hell, where else in Mississauga does a old rundown greasy diner exist next to a hyper modern condo?
It’s a good place to eat late in the evening when all the trendy and high priced restaurants around Square One have closed, and if you’re looking for a cheap drink, Wally’s provides all the beer bottles you can knock back with your 12 oz New York steak.
I would be very sad if Wallys ever caved into the condo revolution. I have no doubt they probably have been approached by developers looking to run this property into the ground. I’m glad they’ve stuck to their guns.
Wallys provides a very simple and basic dining experience, here it is truly all about the food, as bad as it is at times. I can count more than a dozen times where I have found myself here after 1am for a yearning for a greasy steak and fries, with watered down salad dressing on the salad on the side. Perhaps it’s the taste of nostalgia with my father that keeps me coming back, perhaps it IS the taste of nostalgia that Mississauga’s denizens has kept this place around for more than 20 years or longer.
Nevertheless, Wallys will always have a special place in my heart and I hope it stays around so that I could take my own kids here one day.

I’ve lived right next to this place for a few years and I’ve never tried it. However, I had nothing in the fridge and was too lazy to get my car out of the parking lot tonight, so I decided to walk over and be adventurous with my health. It’s a typical greasy spoon, diner-​type joint. The décor definitely leaves you wanting, but I’m not picky on décor as long as it’s clean. This place was surprisingly clean.
As for the food, I tried the Eggs Benedict. Yes, I had Eggs benedict for dinner… leave me alone!!! :-P
It was under $ 10 including tax. This definitely was a diner version of Eggs benedict. It didn’t look anything like it, however the egg was cooked fairly well and the Hollandaise sauce was okay. My biggest complaint is that the English muffins were not toasted.
But I’d say that this place is okay when you have nothing else to eat and have a craving for greasy food.

Food is delicious and prepared right before your eyes. Typical diner fare, even the eggs Benedict was good, and I have high standards in that respect.
Only thing… It caught fire a few years ago, and yet all the décor still looks thirty years old.
Did they intentionally buy ripped booth seats?

I stopped in at Wally’s for a quick bite to eat while in Mississauga, and for starter’s, this place has all the trimmings of a greasy spoon. Wally’s is not a place to come to for the décor, that’s for sure. However, they do have good food and decent portion sizes at a reasonable price. Dine in or carry out, enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner here. Enjoy a Big Wally (a char broiled burger) with a decent choice of toppings, such as I did. Service is reasonable as well.

Oh Wally’s… What do you really say about Wally’s? It’s open super late (3am weekdays/​4am weekends), which makes it the perfect SquareOne-​area, post-​bar place to get food whether you’re looking for something at 3am, or the next day when you wake up with that pounding headache and grumbling tummy and are looking for a greasy spoon… they’ll be there, ready and waiting for you.
I personally have only been in the morning, so all of my experiences are breakfast-​related. And speaking of breakfast, it’s good. I mean, it probably isn’t that healthy, but it tastes delicious. For about $ 7 you can get eggs (2), bacon (2), sausage (2), breakfast potatoes (more than 2) and toast (2). You really don’t need more than that. Yesterday I got adventurous and ordered a bacon grilled cheese. OMG it was good. A bit nostalgic, because it reminded me exactly of the grilled cheese’s that my grandpa used to make me as a kid… it was perfect. White bread with lots of margarine on them, 2 slices of cheese and bonus bacon. I wasn’t like over the top hungry, so that was just enough food for me. At $ 4, I think that’s a bargain.
Now, the décor is something you’re really going to have to get over. It probably hasn’t been refinished since the 70’s… orange fabric seats which are in very bad shape (as a matter of fact, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they used to be orange vinyl, and the plastic layer has just worn off in the last 40 years of nearly ²⁴⁄₇ traffic), and an overall look that leaves a lot to be desired. There is always lots of parking which is great.
At the end of the day, it’s a REAL business, owned by REAL people, not some standardized chain. I think these businesses deserve to be supported, which is why I’ve given Wally’s 4 stars, when in reality, maybe it should only have 3.5.
