It's been one of our favorites since we lived here, and nothing's changed -- still absolutely worth it. We always go for the chicken & waffles (because honestly, why mess with perfection?). The chicken is consistently crispy, juicy, and full of flavor, and the spice levels are actually accurate -- no surprises, just good heat done right. The waffles? Perfect balance to the spice. Truly the best combo. The vibe is the same as we remembered: bright, welcoming, and fast service even when they're busy. It felt like coming home to an old favorite. If you're visiting Franklin -- or honestly anywhere near Nashville -- do yourself a favor and make the stop. Still a 10/10 for us

I recently tried the fried strips and mac & cheese and really enjoyed both. Everything was packaged well and still hot when we got home about 10 minutes later.

We've been to this location several times and have usually had good experiences, but this visit was…read moredisappointing, mainly due to cleanliness. The dining area was noticeably dirty, with multiple tables covered in visible crumbs, food, and trash, even though it wasn't busy. It made the whole experience feel uncomfortable and honestly pretty off-putting while trying to eat. This hasn't been the cleanest location on past visits but because we've been in hospitality we've tried to give some grace and have come back again, but it was especially noticeable this time. Food was mixed - the tenders were fine, but the nachos were much lighter on toppings than usual and the jalapeños, onion, and lettuce were very roughly chopped to the point I ended up picking a lot of it out. I also found a bone in my chicken, which was concerning because it was a good size. Hoping this was just an off day, but the cleanliness is something that really needs attention. For now, we might be changing up locations if we're craving Waldo's chicken.

The cole slaw was delicious if you like the sweet kind. My husband's quarter fried chicken (white) was huge. I love everything fried is done so in beef tallow. Yum! The decor is rock n roll with personalized wallpaper of beer brands renamed to honor the chicken (see photo). The service was great. He took our order and answered our questions.

But on a rainy Wednesday…read morenight, when the refrigerator is emptier than a college dorm room, this place will absolutely deliver some good old-fashioned comfort food. Walking in here is also a reminder that... I might be getting a little older. You know you're old when you look around the dining room and realize half the "decorations" are things you actually grew up using. I'm pretty sure my grandmother had three of those items in her kitchen. Back in the day they used to bring biscuits to the table immediately. Boom. Biscuit drop within 30 seconds. Now they wait until your food comes out. Honestly, that's probably a smart move. Their biscuits are pretty darn good, and there were many younger versions of me that would've eaten so many biscuits that my entrée would've needed a to-go box before I even started. For dinner I ordered the fried catfish, which was lightly breaded and cooked just right. Not greasy, not overdone just good Southern comfort. My sides were loaded hash browns and corn, which fit the rainy-day comfort food theme perfectly. My wife ordered the vegetable plate, and she really liked it... which is impressive. Service was good, although our waiter wasn't exactly hovering. In fact, my water glass stayed empty long enough that I briefly considered sending out a search party. After we finished eating, my wife did what wives do in this place, she wandered into the gift shop to "just look." If you've ever been here, you know that can be dangerous. Fortunately, she didn't find anything she absolutely had to have, which saved me about $47 in decorative rooster merchandise. Checkout took a little longer than expected due to some register confusion, so I stood there for about five minutes reflecting on life... and wondering how a place that sells this many biscuits can't move a checkout line faster. All that said, if it's a rainy day and you're craving some good comfort food, this place will do the trick.
