History

Established in 1965.

Established in 1965 in Long Island, NY Moved to Miami, Fl in 1978 Moved to current location in Miami, Fl in 1988 Remodeled in 2013 Upon opening it's doors in Miami, Walter's or The Shop, as it is affectionately referred to, quickly became known as more than just a family-friendly dining establishment: many of it's customers frequented the restaurant because it offered something different, something intangible: acceptance, comfort and camaraderie. No matter your gender, race or occupation: at Walter's everyone was family, and Walter loved his community. He was active in the local chamber of commerce and played an instrumental role in the rebulding of Perrine after Hurricane Andrew. Perhaps that's why he earned the nickname, "Mayor of Perrine". Walk into The Shop today and you'll find the same intimate, yet relaxed atmosphere very much alive in the quaint, yet bustling restaurant. Daughter Grace and her Husband Lenny took over the restaurant in 1994, when Walter and Jo finally retired
