Best Clam Chowder in the Northwest! You will always find something to love in our menu. During the summer we have outdoor seating on our patio.

Wally's is a family owned restaurant that specializes in delicious clam chowder, fresh local caught fish, and excellent service. From the freshest King salmon or halibut that is in season, to a huge juicy steak or a homemade blackberry pie... you will not leave disappointed! It is a little shaded oasis that is perfect for our summertime weather. We have a full service bar and b**r and w**e. Come on down and bring some friends, you're gonna love it!

The chowder has a following. Now it has a uniform. 🥣

Our newest Wally’s Chowder House merch is here!

Vintage blue lettering, classic cream-colored long sleeves, and a little Des Moines pride. Simple, old-school, and just the way we like it.

We’ve been serving up chowder since 1993. Figured it was about time you could wear it, too.

Stop by Wally’s, grab a bowl, and check out the new shirts!
