There's definitely no shortage of chicken spots around here. Between Zaxby's, Guthrie's, Raising…read moreCane's, Slim Chickens, and Chick-fil-A, the competition is strong. Because of that, I pretty much expected Waldo's to follow the same formula: chicken strips, fries, Texas toast, and slaw -- and that's exactly what I got.
The chicken strips were flavorful and really good. I also liked that they weren't oversized like some other places. The fries were a little different from the usual crinkle-cut style you get elsewhere. They seemed fresh-cut, very thin, and surprisingly good. The slaw was just okay -- not bad, but nothing especially memorable and a bit too dry for my taste. And of course, the Texas toast was exactly what you'd expect: buttery and solid.
Overall, the food was pretty good.
I visited on a Friday night, and apparently that's karaoke night, so just know it gets LOUD. People were singing, dancing, and clearly having a great time, which made for a fun atmosphere, but if you're looking for a quiet dine in dinner, Friday night probably isn't the best time to go.
The restaurant also has plenty of TVs throughout the dining and bar area, which makes it a great spot to watch a game.
You order when you enter and they bring the food to your table. Servers were great.
Overall, I enjoyed it and would definitely go back.
