    Great spot..nice pool room. The meatloaf sandwich was the bomb. And the Irish Car Bomb was cold.

    This was a great little pub - the salads were huge and looked great! I had the steak fingers and they were delicious! It was noisy but I expected that since it's a sports bar pub. We would definitely go back!

    Good quality food at a reasonable price in a casual bar atmosphere. Wait staff is attentive and friendly. Pool tables and pinball in back room. Outdoor patio for smokers.

    Mixed review. Always good eating in but take out is risky. Take out fries were awful - so overcooked they were like potato sticks- and the fried fish was really greasy. Never had food like this while eating in Walt’s. On the plus side the hamburger was very good, as was the coleslaw. We love Walt’s eating in so we may give take out another chance - but it’s disappointing they sent me home with food they would never put on the table.

    Shelly was amazing to us. Drinks were strong, vibes were good, burgers are even better. Come to Walt’s!

    The service for our large party was on point! Our server was a tall white male - can't remember his name. He knew how to serve and did it well with all the different orders coming in. The fried catfish wasn't very good at all. I should have stuck with the large taco plate bit that was my fault.

    The absolute worst service I have ever had!!! It took 25 minutes just to put in our drink order, then another 20 minutes to order food. 25 minutes later got the food... not good. The grilled cheese sandwich didn't even melt the cheese. Nasty. Our pops were watered down by the time we got the food because the ice melted. Will never go back for any reason whatsoever. Not even fot free food.

    I have lived in Wichita for all my life and never been to Walt’s East. I have missed out! I had the Wednesday special of chicken and noodles-best in town. Wife had the burger with fries and it was very good as well. Fries were hand cut and tasty. Our server was good and atmosphere excellent. Will probably put this on our monthly rotation.

  • 4/5 Jim M. 1 year ago on Google
    We only went for drinks, the bar was really busy and crowded. Server was friendly but service was slow. The atmosphere was your typical bar and grill. Definitely worth another trip back for dinner and drinks.

    We love Walt’s as our local neighborhood bar for good drinks and a game of Golden Tee but it also has some good food! I’ve definitely had misses straying from my usual so I’ll just say the chicken strips are fantastic and Walt’s serves a great burger and onion rings! Very causal atmosphere and a diverse group of laid back folks ranging from college kids to the nursing home and all the ages in between. I love it!

    The food was extremely bland. Starting with the sad looking burger and pale fries, the burger meat was overcooked and dry, the buns were dry and flavorless. Their chips were dry and pale with no flavor, and their fries were soggy. Overall, the food was just depressing and there are fast food restaurants that have more flavor.

    Wasn't a bad experience or was the food bad.... just outdated and small and food was just bar food that was good to eat and sit with two of my daughters after a soccer game. We all got burgers and the wife got a salad lol and a order of chili fries floor an app.... all was good service was good just again needs updated but price and everything was good for the atmosphere it offered.

    First time at east side Walts and it was disappointing. I had the chicken fried steak sandwich and it was so grisly that I could hardly chew it and the parts that weren't grisly were so thin you couldn't even taste any meat. Fries were good and so was the service. The other two in my group had burgers and were pleased, if I go back I will know to do a burger next time

    We love this place! We've never had a bad meal here. Everything is delicious! Service is wonderful. One of Wichita's hidden gems.

  • 5/5 David H. 4 months ago on Google
    Great service! Old fashioned burgers and fresh cut fries and chips! Real old time establishment with neighborhood feel and service! Full bar, great beer options and drinks!

  • 2/5 Steven E. 8 months ago on Google
    Had a coupon for a free burger with purchase of a drink from the Wichita Open. The burger really wasn't good. In fact, I had to go home and eat some chocolate to get the taste out of my mouth. I hadn't eaten at Walt's in a while, but remembered them as being pretty good. I don't know if they have burgers that they set aside to be used for people presenting the coupons, but I have another 9 or 10 coupons I don't intend to use. If you have some, for the price of your required beverage purchase and the cost of a tip, you can get a MUCH better meal across the parking lot at Chick-fil-A.

    Walts is a staple. Great food, great service, great drinks. The staff does a great job of making you feel like family. I can’t speak high enough of their employees. Brittney, Lauren, Rachel, Shelly, Evan, Matt, Sean, whoever it is they always treat me right.

  • 5/5 Rana A. 1 year ago on Google
    I am sure that once you try to visit this place 100 percent that you will love this their drinks are great and best services. Highly recommended to all.

  • 3/5 Sheila S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is always good here and reasonable. Service is a little lacking at times..I shouldn't have to constantly get my servers attention when I need something and my drink should be refilled if empty.

  • 4/5 Ghuman S. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty good. Our server and service was good. The menu has great American comfort food, with an open faced chili burger. I had philly cheese steak with no bun and it was great! If I want American comfort food, in a quiet, dark atmosphere, this is where I will go. It's not upscale and has a pub feeling. The food isn't amazing, but good

  • 5/5 John J. 1 year ago on Google
    Solid lunch spot! They have a BLT salad during certain times of the year and it’s incredible! 10/10

  • 5/5 Alex E. 1 year ago on Google
    Been coming to this bar for 4 years and it’s my favorite bar in Wichita, people are great, food is great and of course the drinks are strong

  • 5/5 Adam H. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Walt's! The burgers are awesome and the Chicken Fry Sundays are a great deal for tasty food!

  • 5/5 Tricia R. 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding steaks, superb cocktails and fantastic server! Perfect date night out, casual & comfortable!

    One visit can change everything. I have been to Walt's many times and have generally been very happy with my experience. The food has mostly been pretty good and atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. However my last visit there has insured that I will no go back. The evening before my fiancé goes into surgery myself my daughter and her decide to stop and have a relaxing time before dealing with a stressful event. When the waiter arrives we ask if he can wipe the table because there was still bits of food from the pervious customer. While our waiter did sort of wipe at the table he did so without comment and we all felt that he was offended by this request. We ordered fried mushrooms and 2 entrees and he tells us there will be a charge to share. (I have never had a charge for sharing a plate in the past) I made the comment that the mushrooms should serve as our third entrée. That was followed by and off colored comment about cheating the system. Maybe this was a one off but the impression has been made.

    Always Personal and Friendly Service! Truly like the Cheers you saw on TV. Gotta love Larry Doss the Owner, just another one of the Guys at all times. Great Food, Meatloaf on Tuesdays is Awesomely Delicious, and the Burgers and Steaks never let you down! Go check out the CHEERS of East Wichita!!

  • 1/5 Ny. W. 1 year ago on Google
    I was with a group of others...Searching for a place to eat...I stumbled upon the menu of this particular establishment....The pictures of the food looked really good..and I was eager to sit down and make my selection...But upon arriving.....we didn't see anyone of our likeness... So my husband said No....Way! Next time in town..Maybe I can order📞 room service..so I can try the food.🤷

    We came in right before it got busy and we were nervous about this place. Loved the fact that almost everything was done in wood. We ordered our food and the waitress was decent. Whilst waiting for our sandwiches, the restaurant (I use the term loosely) started filling up with with people much older. Middle aged men trying to flirt with the bartendresses, who were the same age, while drinking too much. My wife's burger was big. Huge bun, large lettuce and tomato, very small and thin meat patty for $9. I got a fish sandwich which was nice and thick. Then I tasted it. Tasted like burnt oil and the fish, tho heavily fried in batter, fell apart. Half of the sandwich fell apart before I could eat it. $10 for that. We ordered chili cheese fries and the actual fries weren't half bad. The chili was watery and was more like goulash with beans. We were subject to hearing the waitstaff complain about each other and the regular guests. My wife and I were apparently in a booth another couple usually sits in. They were throwing a tantrum of unexpected proportions for two 70-something senior citizens. I really got a vibe from the place that they wanted to stay in 1985 and everyone need go elsewhere. I doubt I will ever step foot in that over-priced Boomer-Bar/Restaurant again.

    Daughter had been 1 time & said this place is really good. So we were out & about on New Years Eve afternoon & was hungry. Very good burgers. We each had the onion rings & they were great as well.

  • 5/5 Mike McBeath S. 2 years ago on Google
    Well I've been here a few times, food is great, meatloaf is to die for! The drinks are awesome as well. I think most of all the staff tops it all, they are all very nice, make you feel like family (almost like Chears) it is definitely one of my new regular stops. Thank you guys for maintaining such a awesome place.

  • 4/5 Grace W. 1 year ago on Google
    First time there last week. The food was good not super greasy. Didn't try the alcohol. Waiting staff seemed really busy, but seems they did the best they could. The old timers like to go there not much of the younger crowd as me and my husband, and 1 other couple was 20-30 years old. Still had a great atmosphere though!
