I also tried their popular Gouda & turkey panini, and it did not disappoint. This is a pay-before-you-sit spot, and the service was impressively fast. My food came out hot and delicious within about 10 minutes. The ambiance was casual and inviting, and the staff was very friendly. Overall, a great enjoyable experience, and I would definitely eat here again in the future. But also there's limited parking as it is street parallel parking near by here. But well worth it.

The rotisserie chicken with collard greens and wedges is my go to every time! Though I have tried the tenders, the sandwiches and few more items.

Not to mention they have a small bar as well with a daily happy hour!

Waldo's Chicken & Beer isn't just another chicken place (which is why I honestly hadn't bothered visiting). They have AMAZING sides and desserts. I was wrong for thinking oh another chicken tender place big whoop.... We chose the cheddar biscuit basket with honey butter, chicken tender basket & the chicken tender sandwich. The chicken was fried perfectly. Crisp but not too greasy. The buffalo dipping sauce is perfectly spiced and just the right amount of pucker. I could dip just bread in it. It's so good. The coleslaw is divine. Sweet and tangy with the perfect ratio of vinegar to sugar. It reminds me of my Momma's. Comes with fries and Texas toast. Yum!! My daughter had the tender sandwich and she loved it. I didn't try the sandwich but I did try the mac-n-cheese and it was very flavorful. The cheddar biscuits were so-so; but, I'm a loyal Red Lobster cheddar biscuit snob. These were really sweet. They did have banana pudding on the menu that I will definitely try again next time. Portion sizes are big so you can eat on it twice. Welcome to Shelbyville Waldo's. We will be back!

They were actually having a Shelbyville art fair with local vendors. On this day they were making grilled cheese paninis. The smells were lick smacking good. I chose to get a snack cup filled with nuts, dried fruits, meats and a variety of cheeses. It also came with cheese straw and crackers. They also have jarred goods including anything you can imagine pickled along with jams & jellies. They also offer local chocolates and summer sausage. The day I went in it was super crowded so I took a Quick Look see got my cup and left. Staff was very nice. I'll be excited to go back. Welcome to Shelbyville Something Cheesy.

I have passed by this old Convenient Food Mart store many times but finally made this stop after a recommendation by a close friend who is a big "foodie!" I knew a Meatloaf sandwich was going to be on the list so I went directly to the counter to pick one up, I also picked up a country ham sandwich and bottled water to eat in the front seat of my truck (there were no open seats available inside due to the local crowd occupying all the tables and seating), they were very busy. There was plenty of help, everybody was very helpful and friendly. The steam table had plenty of options for lunch or you can choose to have a deli sandwich made but the Meatloaf is piled high in a bun and it packs all the flavor you expect from a farmhouse kitchen table! I will be back soon and make this a regular lunch stop to try some of there other menu items when I am working in Shelbyville again!

We were greeted immediately, the staff had teamwork down to a tee and got our order taken as well as working the lunch rush effectively. The even hand delivered our subs to us! I could t snap a photo of our sandwiches because gosh they were delicious and gone in a flash. But my husband got the classic Philly and I tried the new Mikes Hot Italian. I swear the pepper relish makes a sandwich if you like a bit of vinegar and spice flavor. We will 100% be back!! Oh did I mention it was spic and spam clean! Loved our whole experience.

We shared a basket of the fried pickles. We have been trying fried pickles where ever we eat and we all agreed that these were the best fried pickles. The pickles were crispy and the breading was light. I had two pulled pork tacos. The pork filling was generous and delicious. I loved the pickled onions and sprinkle of cheese on top. These were good tacos. My husband had the Fish Dinner composed of two battered cod pieces and a mountain of fries. He loved his fish and I ate half of his fries. We found free parking on a side street. Parking is at a premium. Restrooms are clean

Although the restaurant was full, they made accommodations for us on the front porch, which was probably best for all involved, and sat us right away.

My cousin chose this place for her 10th birthday since she loved this place and she had been here…read morebefore we had a group of 14 people. At first, everything seemed fine -- we were seated, looked over the menu, and placed our drink orders. However, things quickly went downhill. When my drink arrived, the rim smelled strongly of hand sanitizer. The server who brought it also smelled like hand sanitizer, which made me believe she had touched the rim of my glass with her hands -- something that should never happen. After we finished our drinks, we received no refills. When the server came back, she told us we had to specifically ask for them. Even when she brought out the salads, she could clearly see our empty glasses but chose to ignore it. We ended up waiting what felt like hours for our food. At that point, we asked to speak to the manager. To our surprise, the manager defended the same poor service and also said we were responsible for requesting refills. No one from the staff checked on our table to see if we needed anything or if everything was okay. The service was disrespectful and inattentive from start to finish. On top of that, we were charged significantly more for fountain drinks than they should cost (they quoted a much higher price than the typical $2-$4 range). Their lack of care completely ruined a 10-year-old girl's birthday celebration that she had been so excited about. We never even received our entrées and had to leave, which meant a lot of food went to waste. Had someone simply apologized and made an effort to fix the situation by saying something like "I'm sorry, we're a little busy we'll try to do better," we might have stayed. Instead, the indifference and rudeness were completely unnecessary. We will not be returning. Very disappointed and upset that a special family occasion was handled so poorly
