    Our first visit here (surprisingly, we now know what we have been missing). Bf is a fried chicken enthusiast and he very much enjoyed it and his fries/mac n cheese - said it will now be part of his rotation. I went with the rotisserie chicken sandwich that came with slaw, pickles, and tried both their bbq sauce and alabama white sauce with a side of white beans (so flavorful). We also split the loaded queso & chips! Hands down all tasted richly flavored, tenderly and crispy cooked, the seasoning in the fries and chips was perfect!! My only thing is I personally prefer thicker sauces for dipping where theirs are more like vinaigrette style for salads, but to each their own. Service was very quick, friendly, and attentive! Ambiance is so fun, like you're in a Where's Waldo Storybook world where people like Michael Jackson and Martha Stewart are raising chickens, lol. We didn't try their beer yet, but love that there are local brews represented! Such a fun spot!!

    Chicken and Fries - that's what you come for!

    Waldo's! We have been to several locations of Waldos and I love their chicken. Takeout from here is great, service fast and the chicken is as anticipated. The dine in experience is fine. They have a large bar area which is separate from the food order area (probably so they can employ teens at the food counter). There is an extensive selection of draft beers and they do have some happy hour periods. The one time we ate in at this location it did not appear super clean. The floor feels a little sticky, and there is just some evidence that folks have been there before you. But as I said, I do love their chicken so we will still be back! (or maybe takeout is the way to go?...)

    Hello! What kind of oil do you use in frying? We have a family member who is highly allergic to peanuts - just checking to be sure that peanut oil is not being used. Thank you!

    They only use 100% Tallow and have since they opened in 2019.

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.

I would first suggest the gumbo, great flavors and not too spicy. If you aren't overly hungry, the gumbo bowl could certainly be a meal. I wanted to sample more of the menu, so I ordered the smoked turkey with their popular "comeback sauce". The sandwich was very good, but I'd suggest the sauce on the side as I wasn't a fan! If you're in the mood for spice, try the hot chicken sandwich. The burgers were also well liked by our table. I have never liked oysters, but they appear to be famous for them - they have a count of how many oysters they've sold up on the wall! If you enjoy oysters, I'd say give them a go. 55 South is in a great area, there is so much to see and do. I'd highly recommend checking it out. We will be back!
