B14-
Wally's
Wally's 711 N. 4th Street was s tarted
in 1951 by Wally Knue. Wally's has become a landmark in
Breese and Clinton County. Wally's reputation was built on
great tasting food, and the standard "hamburger, fries and a
small Ski." All of the Knue family, including Rosemary, Pep,
Jo Ann, Bob and Jackie have worked in the' restaurant at one
time, while mother Mame cooked chili at home. In 1970, Bob
took over operations and Rob Knue and Jeff Gross are now
manning the grill; however, one is still likely to see Bob
or Wally lending a hand. Familiar faces in Wally's over the
years include Tom Kuhn, on both sides of the counter, Bassie
Grimmer, and many others who worked there and acquired the
trademark skill of taking orders without writing anything
down. In the mid 1940's there was a miniature golf course to
the east and north of Wally's operated by Frank & Dorothy (Knue)
Meyer.
