In my previous review, I intended to try this place again because there will be the occasional off day. Ordered a CHOP CHOP BLUE SALAD with chicken for carryout. The salad was packed well with the dressing on the side. The staff was friendly and the service was efficient. The salad was fresh and crisp and the blue cheese vinagerette dressing was wonderful. The grilled chicken was nicely seasoned but I have to withhold the fifth star after having to extract something harder than grilled chicken from my mouth. A bone and a couple of fragments that were quite the surprise. read more

Waldo's was just above average. Nothing special. Chicken was tender and had a good mild flavor. The list of add-on flavors was very nice. Def did not taste like frozen chicken strips thawed and thrown on a plate. Shoe string fries were average. Potato wedges are def preferred. Beer list is adequate but not spectacular. Did not have any of the other premium sides nor deserts. Maybe next time. Service was quick and extremely friendly. With a small hiccup of switched side orders, but quickly corrected. Manager came by (at least i think it was, no name tag, or introduction) asked how everything was and glaringly walked away. Just a odd encounter honestly. All in all they appear to try and set it up like a five guys with the fresh potatoes and buns on display but the atmosphere just came up short with all the nats flying around. Might go back for a quick sandwich but it's not a place to go and actually enjoy a game or chill with a group as the dining room does not really invite that. read more

After visiting a few other locations, I was thrilled to see Waldo's was opening a location closer to home! We visited on a busy Friday night - the parking lot and drive thru were full, and the line to order nearly went out the door. My friend and I shared the 6 finger feast with potato wedges and tomato cucumber salad and loaded queso. The chicken plate came out steaming hot, and the sides were delicious. We tried the rooster sauce, a sweet chili sauce, but decided to eat most of our food sauce-free due to the perfectly spiced chicken. The only hiccup during our visit was that our queso arrived 20 minutes after our food. When it arrived, we were able to get it to-go. We also noticed that the location of the drink station creates a lot of traffic between the register, kitchen, and bar. Will definitely be back once they've been open a bit longer. read more

As soon as I walked in, I was obsessed with the interior! It's a fun, cozy farm-like vibe that feels very welcoming. The service was great as well while taking our order and the food only took around 5 minutes to come out. I ordered the kids rotisserie meal and the rotisserie itself was good with the dark meat but there were many parts that were just cartilage so I was a bit put off by it and decided not to finish. The winner here were the potato wedges, they were big in size and delicious with a bit of a heat kick! I would definitely come back, but would order a different protein vs the rotisserie! read more

I ordered the FRIED 1/4 DARK plate with Mac and cheese and fries for pickup. Pickup was not very efficient. I waited a long time. I believe there was miscommunication between with my pickup order. They did make up for it though. The food itself was great. Chicken was fried perfectly, juicy, and flavorful. Mac and cheese and shoestring fries were also yum. I have tried the location in west Nashville prior to this and my experience there was not great. The food was so bland. However it was a completely different food experience at the Murfreesboro location. I would return. read more

I decided to visit is Waldo's Chicken & Beer today about 12:45 PM. I was hesitant at first because this place was packed. The line was from the register to the door. Despite being very busy, the line moved fairly quickly, and our food did not take very long at all to come out. I ordered the four piece chicken tender box with french fries and slaw, and an order of their onion rings. The tenders were not super huge, but they were definitely packed with flavor. Their signature sauce is definitely a hit. Their french fries were very good, just lots of smaller pieces. The slaw was OK. Now the onion rings on the flipside are huge. An order of six cost about six dollars, but these onion rings are monstrosity. Each onion ring is between three-quarter inch to an inch in height and are about the size of a palm. They definitely pair well with the signature tenders sauce. I will say that all the employees were very friendly. Additionally, this cool little restaurant has a very upbeat ambience. FYI there is indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

I've been to Waldo's drive thru 5 times now. I'm not sure if the issue is ordering thru the drive through or what but 4 out of the 5 times my order has been incorrect, Today at 2:08 I ordered fried 1/4 chicken dinner with a side of fry's and mac/cheese. I get home and there is No Mac/cheese No biscuit! They didn't seem to be that busy in the drive thru. I have repeatedly called the number on the ticket but i can't get through. So I'm left with a yelp review. They have generously given me 2 gift cards which I'm grateful for but it doesn't make my orders correct. I'm at a loss for words! What is going on. The yelp reviews are great but my service has been lack luster. Apparently I've given the the benefit of doubt that they will get my orders correct but have learned my lesson. No more Waldo's for me. read more

This location deserves 5 stars just for their efficiency in the drive thru. The drive thru moves fast without compromising the integrity of their food and service. My go to now is the chopped chicken salad. The portion size is huge and worth the price. I substitute the dressing for honey mustard instead of the blue cheese vinaigrette it comes with. I'm so glad Waldo's is in my neighborhood now! read more

We are regulars here. Their food is consistently good. The staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. I do wish the environment was a little less noisy- music is loud and hinders conversation. But the decor is really fun. We are so glad Waldo's came to Murfreesboro read more

New favorite chicken tendies! No seed oils, but instead, beef tallow. The chicken tenders were so tasty and juicy! Their breading on the chicken is also so delicious. I really liked their dipping sauces because I can tell they're made in house. Service was great and everyone was so nice. We especially liked the very sweet lady at the bar! It was fun getting to sample the beers. So tasty! The atmosphere is also fun and family-friendly. I love that this is right up the road from us. We're definitely happy to support a local business that originated in Nashville! read more

So let's talk about how I went to this new chicken spot in the Boro and it was excellent. Yes I ordered the Fried Chicken which came with fresh cut fries and a choice of sides. Another good option was the chicken tenders which my daughter said was very good. You could also choose a dipping sauce. The service was very good as I was greeted and they had someone delivering orders as well as checking on the customers. It's an open seating place with a covered patio if you wish to dine outside. They have TVs all around. I did a quick glance at the bar and I will have to check it out on my next visit with I am sure will be soon. read more

I decided to try Waldo's for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I was hesitant at first only because I'm not a fan of fried food. I was happy to see some healthy and lower calorie options on the menu. I had the rotisserie chicken sandwich. It tasted really good, but the portion of meat was pretty small. They have counter service. After ordering the food came out to our table pretty quickly. It's totally casual and it looked they had a good selection of beer. They also serve cocktails. My friends ordered their macaroni and cheese. I can't tell you how it tasted, but it looked amazing. If you love fried food, go! read more

I visited Waldo's on a Saturday night and I was pleasantly surprised at how well everything ran because it had opened up a few days prior!! The nachos were yummy and I had the spicy chicken sandwich. It was almost TOO spicy, which is my fault. The fries were good! We sat at the bar and Julie took care of us. Can't wait for them to start serving liquor! read more

So this place was not what it seems! The only good thing was the chicken, fries was super soggy, along with the potatoes wedges, fried pickles seemed under cooked and burnt Texas toast, overall not impressed and prob won't be back for awhile! read more

There's a new chicken place in town ya all need to try! First time trying Waldo's Chicken and Beer today and won't be the last! From the minute we walked in I was impressed with the decor. The restaurant had plenty of booths and a lot of tables in the center of the room. There is a real nice bar you can enjoy as well. We ordered the chicken basket with bar b wye sauce and fries and my husband ordered the chicken strip sandwich and fries. The breading on the chicken strips was really good! The chicken was moist and the pieces were pretty big. There were ample enough fries as well. My husband's chicken sandwich had a sauce on the sandwich which enhanced the flavor overall. The portions were plentiful. While there the manager came to our table and greeted us. She talked about the locations and told us the chicken is cooked in beef fat. That was interesting. She talked about the Mac and cheese and brought us a sample of it and a couple of biscuits. Both were very good!! We were not disappointed the meal was very good and the price was reasonable as well. We will be back soon for some more delicious chicken! read more

First of all let me say...I AM LITERALLY PISSED about my main bartender being fired from the bar! You need check your scheduler being as though he always schedules employees on their days he KNOWS they cannot work! I personally won't be a regular customer until they can get a scheduler who knows how to literately knows how schedule employees. I am so disappointed! This was one of my favorite places to be and now I have to find another place to be a fan. This is some straight bullshit!!!!!!!!!! read more

Horrible. Over priced. Go to McDonalds instead. Employees need to learn good manners.

My wife, daughter, and I each had the 4 piece chicken tender basket. The tenders were delicious. The breading was crispy and savory. The variety of sauces were awesome. The fries were delicious. Don't know a lot about tallow, but it made those fries so tasty. I had the Mac and Cheese. It was creamy and delicious. Also, the service was extraordinary. Servers were moving quickly, whether cleaning or delivering food. We loved our meal and will be back. read more

we went for the first time tonight. Loved the atmosphere. Girl taking orders was clueless. i asked her if the wings were good, she shrugged her shoulders. No customer service skills. She ordered our wings naked w sauce on the side. We never told her that. My husband ordered "all drums" they put all the flats on my order..not happy overall. Food was good enough. Staff need more training. read more
