A nice experience - Edit
After seeing online that Wally’s had a big vegan menu, I wanted to give them a try and support it. The atmosphere is cozy and cute, and the staff is pleasant. There is parking available out front and it is wheelchair accessible.
Read moreWhen I sat down, I was handed a menu that only had a couple vegan options. I asked if certain items were still available, and was given a separate vegan menu. It would be nice if it was incorporated into the full menu instead of being a special request. I ordered the quesadillas for an appetizer, and must say that they were delicious! Fresh ingredients and very tasty! After that, I had the “chicken” parm sandwich. I wasn’t really a fan of that one. Tasted like a microwave dinner and it was dry with not very much sauce on it at all. My partner had the seitan cheesesteak which was the better choice IMO.
Will happily return to try more and support the business and vegan menu!
Pros: Quesadillas were 🙌, Wide selection of vegan options , Nice staff
Cons: Vegan menu given only if asked for , A little pricey

Nice place with a good amount of vegan options - Edit
We weren't offered the vegan menu when we arrived. We were only offered the breakfast and the lunch menu. Since we knew they had a vegan menu, we asked for it, and it was no problem getting it. But for the ones who don't know, it can be a bit disappointing, I would imagine.
Read moreThe vegan menu had a wide variety of foods. Breakfast, starters, lunch, you name it. The variety did not disappoint. Quesadillas for starters and a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich as the main course was a good choice for me. It was all very delicious and it was a very filling amount of food, so we did not have to leave with hungry stomachs. I highly recommend this place!
Pros: A good variety of food, Delicious food
Cons: A little bit pricey, Weren't told about the vegan menu without asking

5 Star vegan eats - Edit
It’s rare that every item I have at a meal or a restaurant is off the charts, but that is the case at Wally’s. I was blown away by the avocado egg rolls appetizer and it just got better from there. 5 stars, no matter what the app says!
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly and knowledgeable staff, Nice atmosphere

Wally’s is a vegan paradise! - Edit
If you’re looking for vegan food on LBI, Wally’s is the place to go! They have LOTS of vegan options on their menu, from starters to entrées to desserts, and they’re all DELICIOUS, which isn’t surprising when you consider the fact that one of the owners is herself a vegan. They put a big emphasis on freshness, so they make almost everything on the premises, and they’re always coming up with new vegan dishes to put on their menu. To top it all off, their staff is always super-friendly. #Veganuary

Great vegan breakfast/brunch options - Edit
Their vegan selection is pretty great - pancakes, waffles, breakfast sandwich/burrito, some sort of japanese soufflé pancakes(?), omelettes and the like. I went with their vegan hash and found it really well thought out and executed.
Read moreTheir outdoor seating area is lovely, I’d highly recommend eating in the little back yard area. The only downside is that it’s sorta pricey, but I’m not expecting much else from a place with good vegan options at the shore.
Pros: Lots of options on a separate vegan menu section, Tofu egg and just egg options in dishes, Pancakes AND waffles (why are these so rare?)
Cons: Expensive

New menu caters to alternative diets! - Edit
For some reason happy cow app was not listing this great option when searching for vegan options in LBI, but recently are (at least not popping up in my searches). They now are one of the best finds on the island. We’ve gone multiple times this year and always for breakfast, which is their specialty. I’ve had their tofu scramble, soy chorizo hash bowl, and just eggs omelet, and all were very good. Definitely worth a try, especially if with friends/family that eat the fateful american diet.

Deserves FIVE STARS - Edit
First of all, they purposefully expanded their kitchen so that all vegan menu options is cooked on completely separate ovens and burners away so as to not cross contaminate with their other non vegan options.
Read moreThe service was kind and friendly with a very community welcoming vibe.
We had vegan soup and quesadillas for starters (not pictured) we were so hungry forgot a picture! We also had the Buddha Bowl and Chickpea Burger. 10/10 FIVE STARS. Especially for the vegan cheese.
Want to come back in the morning for their vegan breakfast item options!
Tip: when you’re within 10miles of the restaurant use their Yelp waitlist to get a spot in line to be seated in advance. Was super helpful to get seated within no more of waiting 5 min upon arrival once you check in with the hostess.
Definitely a spot to go to when visiting LBI.

Many vegan options - Edit
Casual dining, picnic tables outside, every restaurant is pricey but in light of that not too high, you can add yourself to the waitlist on line, no reservation
Read moreHad the quinoa beet burger which I enjoyed.
Since my first review I have been here a number of times. Many vegan options. Staff is always great.

Many Vegan choices - Edit
I was happy to find a restaurant close to home with vegan options however what you order is important!
Read moreI had portobello fajita with peppers and onions. No kidding the order came with 1 small piece of onion, 5 small mushroom pieces if that and tons of peppers. When mentioned, waitstaff brought some fried greasy yellow onions not ref. Obviously they were being cheap and didnt fully get that mushrooms to a vegan, should have been the main event. $19 for sauteed peppers and a fajita, very disappointing.
Pros: Many vegan options, Great falafel , Nice staff
Cons: In season and busy times long waits, Staff friendly but service was sketchy, Did not offer to correct the issue

Lots of options for vegans - Edit
We ordered the vegan garden chickn and avocado sandwich, which was really good, as well as the vegan pancakes, which had an off bitter taste…. Based on the mix, I was going to give them a 3, but given the huge lack of options in Ocean County, and the fact that they are definitely trying to accommodate both vegan and gluten-free folks, I decided they get an A for effort. Will definitely try again.

I got the Chickpea Burger with the vegan Caesar Salad on the side. My husband and I ended up switching burgers because we liked each other’s more! So I ended up eating his Quinoa Beet Burger. It was delicious!

Some of the best vegan food on the island! - Edit
Lots of vegan options! It’s hard to find a place that my whole family enjoys (I’m the only vegan) and this place accolades everyone! The vegan quesadillas are AMAZING and the quinoa beet and bean burger are great as well! I have yet to try the other vegan options but will be back!

Beautiful outdoor dining area.
Read moreThe side salad that came w my quinoa beet burger was a generous portion. The chipotle sauce was eh. Not sure if I really don’t have chipotle or if it just tasted weird. The cauliflower soup was a pleasant surprise. I was disappointed that the Buffalo cauliflower was not vegan.
I do think I would have had a better experience if the server had better etiquette. He tried to take our plates while we literally were putting the fork in our mouths. Dropped the bill before we were done our meal. Etc.
Pros: Handful of vegan options, Cute ambiance
Cons: $$$ side , Wait staff could use training on dining etiquette

Good food - Edit
I got the vegan quesadillas and unfortunately they put non-vegan sour cream with them. I’m not sure if that was an accident or if they always do that so watch out. The quesadillas were very good though and so was the gardien chicken sandwich! The coleslaw that comes with the sandwich is also not vegan.
Read morePros: Good food
Cons: Puts non-vegan sides with vegan options

Don’t bother - Edit
Ordered tofu scramble- came with the sautéed veggies, no tofu scrambled with it. 🤷🏻♀️
Read moreWent on a separate occasion- out of the vegan burger we wanted. We ordered a vegan quesadilla and vegan Caesar salad. Little cheese on quesadilla (which tasted microwaved) and a definite non-vegan dressing on the salad. Bummer
On a positive note- Scojo’s has a Beyond Burger available!

I've been going to Wally's for a few years and I'm so excited to see the vegetarian and vegan options they have been adding. The vegan quesadilla is wonderful, and the new burgers are great. I had the quinoa beet burger and my friend had the buffalo cauliflower. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable with great suggestions. We will definitely return soon.

New Vegan Place on LBI - Edit
This place is unique in that it serves great food for my friends who not vegan and for me as well. Breakfast, lunch or dinner there are many vegan meals.

I've had the chickpea burger and the 3 bean chili and both were great. service is also very friendly
Read morePros: Interesting vegan foods, Friendly knowledgeable staff, great value
