Great specials. Food made fresh. Nice wait staff. Never had to ask for a refill because waitress was on top of it. I had cauliflower fries and mushroom swiss burger. All excellent. Good variety. Menu on clear display. Good portion size. I will definitely eat the again. 2nd visit. I had pepperjack cheese balls. Mild spice. Home made salsa (medium) with the walters mess great. Burger pictured is wally burger huge thickest patty ive ever seen and well done as requested. Smaller diner environment. Bathroom located outside. Check them out!

Classic diner with superb food. Take note: cash or local checks only. They don’t accept debit or credit cards. An ATM is within walking distance. Prices shown in the menu photo have increased since the picture was taken.

Not a bad little diner! CASH ONLY!
The diner itself is a very small space, but that really wasn’t a problem. I came in on a Saturday morning and ordered the special, chicken fried steak. It was excellent all around and came out in a timely manner.

I didn’t catch the name of the chef cooking that day, but the tall gentleman working the grill on the afternoon of Saturday, August 13th was extremely friendly and did a fantastic job with my food. Great work!

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.

A definite hole-in-the-wall place that delivers wonderfully expert food creations and great hometown service. We were passing through and decided to try this place. From the exterior it appeared questionable and a kind of a dump. It gets cozy inside, but the staff is friendly and regular customers are a treat. The one cook was cooking as fast as he could and delivered an amazing meal! We were very impressed and wished we had one closer to us. Would like to visit again.

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.

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.
In my opinion you can’t beat great food, good people and a view of a River.

The Fort is a straight out of the 50s dinner. Quiet small, great parking just east across the street in free city parking. Food is great and all made from scratch. Dinner specials every day.
