Here in Minnesota, our towns and cities are full of hole-in-the-wall restaurants that no one has ever heard of. But while these places aren’t drawing in thousands of visitors a day, they are often still well worth trying out. In the past, we’ve introduced a number of hole-in-the-wall restaurants, including a Mankato pizza place and a roadside dinner in Rock Creek. But there are plenty of others to discover, including the little restaurant we want to talk about today. Wally’s Roast Beef is not very well known, but it does have a loyal following. Read on below to learn why people love this out-of-the-way little spot.
Wally’s Roast Beef is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Bloomington, Minnesota. While it’s in a Twin Cities suburb, its out-of-the-way location makes it little-known even among locals. It’s hidden away in an office park.

Many enjoy the Philly or the French dip. You can get each sandwich alongside a pile of fries, onion rings, slaw, or a number of other sides.

Of course, many swear by the sandwich that gives Wally’s its name: the roast beef. The beef is slow-roasted with a tasty selection of seasonings and served on a fresh, toasted bun. It can be topped with au jus, cheese, or bacon. Yum!
