March Madness and literally my same order from the other day. Frank happened to see me when I walked in, spoke, smiled and gave me a fist bump. He had the same warm demeanor about him as before. Anthony also greeted me with a warm welcome while taking my order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are plenty of tvs around to watch your games. The sound system is very clear, loud, but not annoying for those that may not be interested in sports.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food came out piping hot, fresh, delicious. read more

We are here on a Saturday around 7:50 pm. There were a few tables taken but it wasn't too busy. It is a counter service restaurant. We ordered the rotisserie chicken with mac and cheese and potato wedges. We ordered chicken tenders and coleslaw, fries, potato wedges. The Alabama dipping sauce was peppery and vinegar forward, so so good. All the chicken was great. The Mac and cheese is very heavy but creamy and full of cheesy goodness. The coleslaw was a finely shredded style and it was light, not too mayo-based. We got the cheddar biscuits with butter and wow, delicious. We would eat here again for sure. read more

Waldo's Chicken & Beer - Chicken nachos and complimentary cheddar biscuits for being a first timer - Chicken Shop Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

Place was packed on Sunday but we were able to get a table and our order came out super fast. French fries were great, fried chicken was very meh, not bad but underwhelming. The rotisserie chicken was pretty bad though. For a place called chicken and beer the bar selection and beer selection were very meh. read more

Big fan of the chicken here would recommend for dinner. Service is fast and food is always warm!

Bruno and I had a wonderful time at Waldo's on Tuesday evening! It's located conveniently close to Cahaba Heights Parks & Rec and the Vestavia Hills Dog Park! [[HIGHLIGHT]]A dog friendly, family friendly, group friendly, everything friendly place to be on a weeknight.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a large bar that has an inside and and outside seating arrangement.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The salad was delicious! I will admit it didn't seem like much from the menu description, but it was delightful. Unfortunately, I wanted something other than Buffalo and the next above Buffalo is habenero oil... which was hottest than I anticipated but completely manageable for us who like the spice. It was especially nice to have the oil throughout the salad. Very flavorful! Bruno approved it after one of the employees came and gave him some love. Could become regulars. (: 02-26-2025 read more

Love this place. I come here too many times. Trivia on Tuesdays are great. The chicken is always seasoned and hot.

Chicken fingers are always hot and crispy. Love the cheddar biscuits and trivia. Sauces are amazing.

CHEDDAR BISCUIT W/ JALAPEÑO RANCH!! I ordered the 6 Tender Plate, Fire Roasted Chicken (1/4), White Beans, Collard Greens, Tomato Cucumber Salad, and a variety of sauces through Uber Eats. While I wish the food had arrived hot--because I can tell it would have been even better--it was still a solid meal. The tenders had great seasoning but leaned a bit on the dry side. However, the Fire Roasted Chicken was a standout--perfectly moist and fall-off-the-bone tender. Unfortunately, none of the sides really impressed me, but the cheddar biscuit was absolutely incredible. I wish I had ordered more because dipping it in the jalapeño ranch was a total game-changer--I could eat that combo all day long. For sauces, I highly recommend the Comeback, Tender Sauce, and Jalapeño Ranch. Overall, I'll definitely be returning--if not for anything else, then for that biscuit and ranch combo. Next time, I'm also trying the tenders hot! read more

Who doesn't love a good chicken sandwich? Waldo's is a fast casual spot that offers a great place for lunch or a laid back spot to watch some sports. The fowl mouth sandwich hit the spot. It was sweet and spicy, crispy and juicy. The cheddar biscuits were a little dry but the butter on the side elevated them a lot! read more

Waldo's in Cahaba Heights is always "Hit & Miss" with me. Today was a "Miss". I had Lunch there today - the Chicken Tender Basket with four tenders and French Fries and Tea. They gave me six tenders instead of 4, but the tenders were the size of my thumb (see pic). The breading was crunchy and tasty but the sliver of chicken was dry and void of taste. The French Fries were about an inch to inch-and-half long and they were soaked with oil. I guess I got the bottom of the bag? Very Disappointed. The Tea was fresh and tasty. read more

Just go! It is delicious! Perfectly seasoned! People were polite and i was very surprised at how good it was!

Great chicken and tender sauce! Always happy with my food at Waldo's. Quick service and good drink.

If you're looking for a quick and easy chicken joint where you can go simple or spice up your order, Waldo's is the place to go. My boyfriend and I were searching for quick bites to eat on New Years Day, and came to Waldo's for a quick casual dinner. You order at the counter and your food is brought out to you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had the college football playoff game playing on a few large TVs, which was fun to watch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was surprisingly so good! I loved the different sauces as a sauce lover, especially the spicy & sweet ranch that came with our meal. I wish they were labelled or advertised more, because we had no idea what they were before trying them out. Overall, looking forward to coming back to Waldo's when we're craving some fried chicken! read more

Best restaurant in Cahaba Heights! Great chicken. Great beer. Great people. Tuesday night trivia is the best!

Food was wonderful!!! Staff was very friendly and attentive [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved this place for lunch!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For chicken fingers this is the place to go And a beer or margarita read more

This is a cute little spot hidden in the Mountain Brook - Vestavia area. There is an outdoor bar and seating as well as an indoor bar and seating. The menu is mostly chicken as you would get from the name. There are wings, tenders, and chicken portions offered as fried or roasted. If you're like my oldest sister and don't like fried chicken, the nachos appetizer is a great option. If you're like me, a vegetarian, there are a few appetizers and salad that will work. They have a good craft bear selection. They also have some really good spiked slushes. I suggest the sneaky peach. If you like peach drinks, you'll love it! If you're wondering how's the chicken, I got mixed reviews. My son had tenders and said they were OK. My husband had a 1/4 chicken fried and thought it was OK, but wished the seasoning was not just on the skin but also in the meat. My sister also had the tenders. She thought they were good. All of them agreed the sides were good. They had fries, collards, and mac n cheese. It's a really chill casual dining spot. The whole family had a great time. The service was great! We will definitely bring the family back again! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great spot for trivia.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outdoor seating a solid food/drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I do miss getting an assigned server. read more

I'm on the fence with this one. The tenders and collards were very good. Our order came out super fast. The fries were ok but they were a bit soggy and room temp. My husband actually liked them that way so it wasn't the end of the world. The chicken and collards were HOT (temperature wise) and I appreciate that, especially how fast the food came out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat at the bar and it was dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The guy behind the bar serving was very nice and said it was his first day. Everyone starts somewhere and my husband and I both worked in restaurants so we give A LOT of grace. The only thing was that he took our order and then he never really went back behind the bar. He was at the cash register by the kitchen etc. I give him credit for staying busy at least. What was frustrating was that there was a gal behind the bar as well. She wasn't really training him or showing him what to do. She also wouldn't make eye contact with us or look in our general direction. With him gone and her not servicing anyone at the bar except a guy and a kid who I assume may have been her husband and child, we were kinda left on our own. We finally had to flag her down to get our check. We live way down 280 and have to pass up like 4 other chicken strip places to get to Waldo's. I'd go back if we were in the area but I wouldn't make a special trip. read more

Great food and service l. Love trivia nights as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice location with outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Food: Yum Service: Friendly Ambiance: industrial chic meets barnyard I finally got to try this place, and I was not disappointed. We tried an assortment of different menu items, and it left me eager to return to try more the next time. The cheddar biscuits were great! Similar flavor to Jim 'n Nick's biscuits, and a great complement to the chicken. The fried pickles had a nice seasoning that has a bit of spice to it, but overall they were a bit too salty to enjoy too many of them. The buffalo wings were fine, nothing special, and not hot (spicy) at all. The wings can also be tossed in other sauces, so I will definitely be trying different varieties in the future (options include BBQ, AL White, lemon pepper dry rub, Rooster sauce, and habanero oil). The Chicken Scratch salad was pretty good. We had fried chicken, but there is an option for grilled if you prefer, and you can have your chicken tossed in sauce as well, for an upcharge. It had nice mixed greens instead of just straight iceberg lettuce, and the ranch dressing was a good one. The winner to me was the Fowl Mouth sandwich. The slaw and the comeback sauce on the sandwich help to balance the habanero oil that covers the chicken. This sandwich has a true heat that builds with each bite but does not overpower. The lemonade is good, just remember that there are no refills (unlike the standard fountain drinks and tea, which are refillable). There is a good selection of draft beers, including many local breweries. I would have liked to try the margarita, maybe next time. It is a family-friendly lunch and dinner option, given the universal appeal of chicken tenders and fries. And, Thursdays kids eat free (with a paying adult). read more

Chicken was very tender, some of the best I've had in a long time. Some of their downfalls: -no desserts!!!! -lettuce in salad really tough -no muffin on our salad -fries are meh I know food costs are rising... but still seems expensive for what it is. I guess it's the right price for bar food. read more

I love Waldo's! The chicken combo is my favorite and always hits the spot. Recommend the honey mustard and tender sauce!

If you haven't been to Waldo's you're surely missing out! Not only is the food fantastic [[HIGHLIGHT]]the vibe this place has can take away all the stress of a long workday[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]! Pair that with the awesome Happy Hour deals....and you've got yourself one heck of a great experience! read more

The chicken fingers are def good. I tried the honey mustard sauce and it was terrible, extremely too spicy. I feel like the sauce makes the meal, and it really hurt the experience. Make I house tried another sauce, but if honey mustard wasn't working, I'll pass. The fries were awful, little baby shoe string fries just wasn't good to me. Great service, no complaints there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside actually looked like a vibe from the outside that was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But overall I prob won't return. The toast was good, I'm big on toast at chicken finger joints, still won't be back. read more

This is the latest happening spot! I came to grab lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was so busy at the ordering counter. The bar wasn't soooo , I smartly copped a seat at the bar and the rest is history! I ordered my drink and food at the bar and it was total ease. The bartender was so nice and hardworking! He made sure I was taken care of. My four piece chicken tenders w/t potato wedges were perfect! Every bite was flavorful! I had the Buffalo dipping sauce and bbq ... sauces were excellent and homemade. Perfect pairing with the crispy, tender chicken fingers!! The vibe at Waldo's is family friendly. I really enjoyed my first time here. I will definitely be back for some more yummy chicken and ice cold beer!!! read more

My husband was craving fried chicken, so we decided to give this place a try last night. I'm so glad we did! I tried the Fowl Mouth Chicken Sandwich after talking to the server about the menu, and it was one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had. That habanero oil was a nice touch . Definitely a family friendly, sports bar vibe going on in the restaurant, which is to be expected. It wasn't too crowded or loud when we went at about 7PM during the week. I will definitely be going back soon. Hopefully in warmer weather to enjoy the awesome patio they have. read more

So consistent. $5 Margaritas can't be beat. Cheese biscuits are always good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fast service and family friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

My first time trying this restaurant. The chicken was delicious and I loved my sauce. I chose a rooster sauce which was sweet and tangy. My sides were fries and coleslaw. Coleslaw is usually a hit or miss side. It was okay. They gave me plenty of fries. The service was quick and efficient. It was only 1 guy dropping off food and giving condiments that were needed. He was great. The ambiance is casual. This is a place you bring friends for a quick chat and fulfilling food. read more

The food was excellent! The fries were skinny and crispy, the chicken was great, biscuits are just like Jim n Nicks, sauces tasted homemade, pricing was about what I expected, restaurant was clean, staff was nice. They have a really cool outdoor patio area- I wish there were heaters since it was a chilly evening, but this would be such a great spot to eat outside on a warmer night. read more

My favorite tender in Birmingham. Forget all the fast food chains-- you have to make your chicken stops here at Waldos! Tenders are seasoned and fried so well I could eat them with no sauce. Vibe is great and service is always spot on. Perfect for a quick lunch. read more

From out of town. Quality was super. The friendly service prompt. First meal in Alabama. Kudos to staff read more

We ordered Waldo's for takeout one night and I must say I am very pleased. We love a place with good homemade ranch. We had the tenders dipped in buffalo with mac and cheese, potato wedges and the slaw. The slaw is on the sweeter side which I like however the hubby is not a fan. The cheesy biscuits were great! This place tends to be on the more crowded side so we had a hard time calling in to order. I look forward to dining in one day to try some of their adult beverages. read more
