These are some of my favorite places to eat. I’m from Des Moines, and this reminded me of George the Chile King Drive-in. The style, atmosphere, food, everything you want from a diner! This place has it. Overlooking the mighty Mississippi River.

This little place is the neatest! All 6 of us sat at the counter and ate dinner after a long day of geode hunting and exploring different parts of the area. We were all starved and this hit the spot The waitress was an absolute doll! You don’t meet a lot of people like her and you don’t find a lot of places like this one

I was not thrilled to get lunch here but it was convenient and we were hungry. Best BLT of my life. Service was great. My picky child ate every bite of his lunch and let me mention that BLT again. Simple with fantastic ingredients! Thank you!

Wallyburger was delicious and the place did not disappoint. Besides the food our server Kennedy was very sweet. She really took care of us. We came all the way from St. Louis for the best burger in Iowa according to a food magazine and they were right. It was that good. The bbq that they were bringing off the smoker also looked fantastic.

Real nice staff. Breakfast was good. Real old school diner. Cash Only. It’s small inside. Only complaint was there was no ventilation running, so it was warm inside and you left smelling like a greasy kitchen. But would go back again. Not many places like this around.

This is the perfect place to eat in this town. Local, regional, friendly staff, open kitchen, straight forward unpretentious food. Our visit to Ft Madison is all the better for eating here. We had the Walt’s Mess and the 1/2 Wally Burger [a whole one is 1 pound of beef – we SHOULD have ordered that, it looked better than the 1/2 when presented], and onion rings. The customers were great, we spoke with several at the counter while we eat.

This place was awesome! I had a cheeseburger and loved it. This place does have a limited number of dishes, but it has daily specials and other fun stuff.
