Walrus

ORDERED: Blueberry pancake: 3-stack served with blueberry compote, butter and maple syrup ($24.00) + bacon ($7.00) + hash brown ($4.00) I paid $36.46 for my portion here! REVIEW: As someone who doesn't have pancakes often, I really enjoyed Walrus' blueberry pancakes. Soft, eggy, sweet and everything I would look for in a pancake. We got that pancake with salted butter which tasted divine amongst all the sweet notes. Once you cut through the pancake there's a beautiful cross section of blueberries! In regards to side: bacon was crispy, hash brown was crispy food - was fabulous. Perfect amount of maple syrup! I only wish there was more butter! Service was great. Even though we were seated outside, they didn't have us wait too long to order our food. Lines are so long though! Interior was fun, it seems like Walrus has really committed to an easy American diner theme. Tall plastic water cups, booth seats, cool lighting pendants!!

super cozy and inviting atmosphere, very retro, american diner-esque. the little metro card and american bills hung on the wall were such a cute addition. the food was super yum and hearty and extremely reminiscent of a true diner. very attentive and friendly staff. came here for a birthday brunch, and thoroughly enjoyed every second! also, their coffee is amazing

First timer and I love this place! No clue how people say the service is lacking, maybe we got lucky. The girl serving us was super sweet and smiley, attentive and engaging. Food is stunning, coffee on par with it. The fitout is welcoming and the tableware is nostalgic and makes you want to bag it all.

My American husband was SO HAPPY to find this place. The filtered coffee with refills and proper American diner food was just perfect. Even the right plates, plastic cups and diner mugs were spot on. It's a small place but thankfully on a public holiday when we attended around 1130am we only had to wait a short while with 1 party ahead of us.

Walrus wins best bacon and egg roll in Melb. Driving down Sydney road in peak hour is enough to make you want to take a quick turn into a pole, but walking down Sydney road and taking a quick turn into Walrus is divine. Dirk recommended this one to me and I’m glad he did. The soft bun, the crispy bacon, that cheese just oozing over the egg - what? How. How is it so good. Also the dapper chap running front of house is friendly and on point, this place is sensational.

Well now i know why there's always a line outside this place. The food here is a work of art. It's not complex or reaching, it's simple food delivered to an incredibly high standard. They're not just pancakes, they the best pancakes you'll eat, it's not just scrambled eggs, it's scrambled eggs cooked with mind blowing precision. It's like when you see Hollywood engineered food on TV, so pretty it could be a poster and know you'll never eat anything that evenly vaguely resembles it, except here you will. The Cherry Pie was absolutely fantastic (albeit one little personal grievance was that it could have used just a little less Allspice as it overpowered the flavour of the cherry) and I'll definitely be back to try everything on the menu. The prices are also insanely reasonable for what you get.

Diner of my dreams! So glad to have access to an American style diner right at my doorstep. They really hit the nail on replicating the diner experience and aesthetic from the interiors and menu offerings down to the serve ware and addition of ice cubes to your water. Highly recommend the pancakes or steak and eggs paired with a filter coffee (free refills of course).

Finally braved the line to try Walrus for the first time this weekend. And I can safely say, I can definitely see why it’s so popular! The food is really great for the price point. It’s great quality diner food with a great atmosphere and great service. I’d definitely recommend giving this one a go if you like that kind of food! Just be prepared to wait 15 minutes or so to get a seat on a Saturday morning.
