    Rotisserie Chicken with sides of Collard Greens and Mac & Cheese with a Cheddar Cheese Biscuit!
    Keith B.

    Waldo's Chicken and Beer 4700 West Main Street Dothan, Alabama 36305 Honestly, really great rotisserie and fried chicken with lots of flavor - but the sides. Ohhh my goodness, Waldos has some of the best sides in the Wiregrass area. Can't say enough about the Collard Greens and White Beans, Tomato & Cucumber salad, and the Mac & Cheese, even the French Fries are scrumptious. No clue as to what kind of spices they are injecting in to their sides, but when you talk about real homestyle southern flavors - Waldos has it going on. So much so that you'll be tempted to order extra to take home. Customer service - impeccable. Very friendly and polite Team working there - always smiling and very attentive to all the guests. So lets talk technicalities. You walk in and the counter or bar top sits in front of you; place your orders at the Point of Sale; and have a seat. Lots of places to sit, both inside and outside; or on the evening we were there some were gathered around the bar watching TV and sipping beers with their chicken sandwiches and dinner plates. Kids hanging out with parents, singles and couples - the place was Rockin for a Wednesday evening. They have a decent variety of draft beers, to include a few from the local Folklore Brewing - plus quite a few different bottled beer; plus a full service bar for mixed drinks. Soda machine in the public area for grab and goes. Without a doubt, you will have a great meal, in a welcoming environment and for less than $10 per person - about the same as a boxed meal from the fast food joints. Only difference is you can't compare the quality of the food - homestyle and you'll walk out the door with the thought of when am I coming back!

    So good I forgot to take a picture before starting

    It was an amazing experience Chicken tenders: perfectly cooked ;spice: 1/10 Potato wedges: slightly over salted: no spice French fries: perfect, fresh; no spice Mac and cheese: perfect, made in restaurant; no spice Waldo's sauce: not as good as Goldfingers; no spice Rooster Sauce: sweet and spicy; 2/10 spice Tea: I had half and half, On point!; no spice

    Rotisserie chickens, potato wedges, cucumber and tomato salad
    Kacey D.

    Both the fried and rotisserie chicken are good but not the best I've ever had. Just needs more seasoning. The beans, tomato and cucumber salad, potato wedges and Mac n cheese are excellent. Skip the fries, their soggy and limp. They have the good ice!

    Nachos

    This was my 3rd time eating here when in town. Have always had good service. The food comes out in a timely manner. Highly recommend the nachos!! The onion rings are good. The fowl mouth sandwich is delicious. Tried the greens this evening, delicious! My son said his wings were delicious! Highly recommend!

    3pc tender basket

    I got a 3pc tender basket with fries and a order of their cheddar biscuits. The tenders were really tasty, crispy and juicy on the inside and the fries look like they may have been hand cut. The cheddar biscuits were really moist and tasty. Went through the drive through and they were able to get me through pretty quick. Would definitely come back here again. Will have to try dinning in.

    This started out really good, but the last few times we went the fries were way too salty and the chicken was also over spiced. The staff is very friendly so I hope they get back to what they'd started as.

    Unorganized operation. Took 20 mins to get 3 tenders and fries. Go to zaxbys or gurhries for better service and food.

    One of the many hidden gems in Alabama. Biscuit's were greasy and collards were under seasoned but overall the food was delicious!

    The food is delicious. I miss Tazikis, but Waldo's is a silver lining at least. Don't write this place off as just another chicken joint.

    If more than 5 stars was an option, I would give it to The Blue Plate West. I've seen posts on the…read moreDothan facebook page stating that The Blue Plate has the best chicken livers in Dothan. As a new Dothan resident, I can say from my experience that it is true. Let me start with the basics. This place is super cute! Driving up to the location, I noticed the outdoor seating area. Picnic tables, palms, and ceiling fans make up the covered patio. Step inside and you are greeted by the daily specials board. It's a 'Seat Yourself' establishment. They have booths, tables with chairs and seating at the counter. It's nicer than the typical diner. I was greeted quickly by a nice young man who provided me with a menu and flatware. He took my drink order and returned promptly with my liquid refreshment and a basket of fried cornbread. I was later offered seconds of the cornbread but I declined. I wanted to save room for the best fried chicken livers in Dothan. A few minutes later the waitress stopped by. Her name is Reagan (like the President, she told me) and she is just the most adorable young lady. When I mentioned that I was new in town and this was my first time dining here, she seemed to get excited. I mentioned the Dothan Facebook page references to The Blue Plate having the best chicken livers in town and she was beaming with pride. She was such a joy to have as a server! Of course I ordered the fried chicken liver plate. It comes with two sides so I asked Reagan what her favorites are. She really likes the Cole slaw and rice with gravy. I wasn't in the mood for slaw so I selected creamed corn along with one of Reagan's favorites, rice with gravy. I was given a choice of white or brown gravy. I chose the brown gravy. And off she went. It might have taken 5 minutes for her to return to my table. With my meal! I kid you not! I have no clue how she was able to deliver hot and crispy battered fried chicken livers with creamed corn and rice with brown gravy in such a short amount of time, but she did! Kudos to the kitchen staff, and not for just the speed in which they had my meal on the table. They really DO serve the best chicken livers in Dothan! Oh my word! Let me walk you through my meal... I started out with the creamed corn. I am a big fan of corn in just about any style. This was good but needed salt. Same goes for the rice with gravy. I added plenty of salt and lots of pepper to the rice & gravy. Let me add here that for those who follow a low sodium diet, some of these sides may work for you. Personally I would rather have my food under seasoned than over seasoned. I had a few bites of each side and got the seasonings dialed in. Now it's time for the main event: the best fried chicken livers in Dothan! They were perfectly cooked and had a good batter-to-chicken liver ratio. I asked Reagan for honey mustard dipping sauce because it's as close as I could get to a Carolina bbq sauce, which I absolutely love to dip my chicken livers in. It totally worked! I took the first bite of the best chicken livers in Dothan before the dipping sauce arrived. My eyes closed, my head leaned back, my taste buds were rejoicing. These ARE the best chicken livers in Dothan! I started doing a little dance as I chewed while sitting in the booth. I was in heaven! I ate them slowly and deliberately, savoring each bite. The angels were singing, a light shined down on my table. That's what I imagined when my eyes closed and my head leaned back with that first bite. I thought I might float out of my seat. Eventually my hunger was satisfied and and I stopped eating. Reagan had her eyes on her tables and immediately headed over to ask if I needed anything else. I requested a to go box and more honey mustard. She was back at my table in a flash with those items and my check. The total: $12.81 for dinner, a beverage, and enough leftover for lunch tomorrow. A great deal for a phenomenal meal! Good Southern home cooking is the best way to describe the food. I wish I'd had room for dessert. I could smell the apple cobbler being delivered to the table behind me. The staff here is great. A waitress taking care of nearby guests greeted me with a smile and a "how are you doing" as she passed by to wait on newly arrived customers. Many times the wait staff for other tables focus just on their tables. Not the case here! If you haven't tried The Blue Plate West, you are seriously missing out! I'll be a regular here! The restaurant is very clean. Tables are cleared promptly. The management is doing a great job with the running of this place. There is plenty of parking. They have a drive-thru window for carry out orders. They have thought of everything!

    Good solid place. Great place for homestyle food. The service was super friendly and fast.read more

I arrived, went inside, and my order receipt was timestamped for 4:50PM (12 pieces of chicken and 6 biscuits). The cashier said that it would be about 10 minutes before my order was ready. Stupid me, I believed her. I went and sat in the almost empty dining room. The only other people that were there were also waiting for their orders. As I looked around, I realized how filthy the restaurant was. The carpet was downright gross, there was food crumbs everywhere, and the entire dining room had a shoddy, run down look. It's clear that the carpet hadn't been cleaned in at least a year, likely more. As I watched the staff work (I use that term loosely) behind the counter, I watched one female worker put her hands in her pants and scratch her backside-several times. Then she returned to gathering food for the window orders, and I thought to myself that those folks in cars don't know what they're getting as a side dish. After waiting 30 minutes I went to the counter and asked about the wait time. I was told it would be ready in 10 minutes (apparently 10 minutes means sometime today in employee-speak). I went back to my chair and continued to wait, listening to the employees laugh, play, and use their phones. After another 10 minutes I went to the counter and asked how long it was going to be. The counter person told me 10 minutes (yeah). After 10 minutes I went to the register, and the cashier sauntered up and I told her I wanted a refund. Someone from the back piped up and said the order was ready (no, it wasn't). I told her that I would wait no more than 5 minutes more. After a few more minutes they started putting the chicken in the box, and they discovered that they didn't have any biscuits ready. My box of chicken sat on the counter as they made more biscuits, and the lady who was scratching herself started using her bare hands to put the biscuits in the box. That's right. No hand washing, no glove, just a hand down her pants scratching herself, then putting my biscuits in a box with the same hand. When I finally made it to my vehicle, I had been waiting for my order for 58 minutes. And when I returned home, the box of biscuits went into the trash. And no, they didn't have a shortage of employees-there were at least 5 or 6 behind the counter mostly playing around, not caring about the customers that were waiting. When I left the other two people who were waiting for their food were still there. Needless to say I'll never go back to Bojangles again.
