    Well, this place is fun! The staff was super kind and welcoming to a couple of strangers from Lee Summit. Waldo is an area of town that we are very fond of and consider living in at some point. We have seen this place while driving through town a couple of times and my wife looked it up on the Internet and wanted to stop here and have lunch or dinner. She ordered the Chicken Spiedini. She's never been to Garozzo's or had it before. She loved it!!! She ate half and took the rest home for another full meal. I had the turkey sandwich and a side salad. Both were good. We had chips and queso for an appetizer and apparently there was a cheese shortage in the kitchen. A couple of tablespoons or cheese were offered. Double the amount or at least filling up the tiny cup instead of leaving it half full would have been nice. We'd both be happy to return someday.

    Kids Mac and cheese doesn't come with fries. Raise that price ONE DOLLA ! That would cure EVERYTHING. Poor little Johnny can't enjoy a bowl of Mac and cheese and fries on the side. And poor Johnnys mom can't afford her second glass of wine because Johnny got upset and threw such a tantrum that his mom had to get a whole side of fries. Ranch was good!

    Stump Water cocktail

    We went on a Friday night and it was super crowded but somehow we got a table for three in 10-15 minutes. Well, actually I know how - once they seat you they serve you like lightning and there is a definite "Anything else no okay here's your bill bye" vibe. But I love Governor Stumpy's cheeseburger more than little baby ducks so it's fine. Also had a fun cocktail (pictured) called a Stump Water that was basically a Mai Tai. Prices are good, other dishes are also tasty like the BLT and the fries are excellent; very thin and salty. Overall I recommend but don't go on a Friday or Saturday night if you want a relaxed meal.

    Fun , fast and friendly! We stopped in for lunch and we're not disappointed. Burgers wet spot on and seasoned fries were crispy and tasty.

    Cobb Salad is excellent!
    Azile Y.

    I went in and thoroughly enjoyed my Cobb Salad, with chicken that was still hot and steaming. All ingredients were very fresh. My server was super warm and accommodating (he didn't care that I brought it my metal water bottle instead of drinking out of their plastic cups). Generally a lively atmosphere. I'll be back!

    Best Rueben sandwich we've ever had. Tender corned beef, great sauce and bread. The seasoned fries were yummy too.

    Social Waldo Social…read moreWaldo has some delicious tacos! They serve double-decker beef or chicken tacos for only $2.50 every Tuesday, and honestly, they remind me of Taco Bell tacos, except they taste better. They fill them with plenty of meat and toppings, so you definitely get your money's worth. Social Waldo is a bar, and the lighting is dim except in the main bar area. Eric was the first waiter/bartender who helped me, and he was great. I've already been back three times since, and I'll be back again next Tuesday for more tacos. Their happy hour runs from 3-6 PM, and the wine is pretty good. Tuesdays are Tacos & Tequila, and you can't beat the deals: $2.50 double-decker tacos $5 tequila shots $3 Mexican beers $5 margaritas They also have great specials throughout the week: Monday: All-Day Happy Hour (11 AM-midnight) Tuesday: Tacos & Tequila Wednesday: Sammie's (KC Cheesesteak or Nashville Hot Chicken) for $10 with a side (11 AM-10 PM) Thursday: $8 burgers with a side Friday: Extended Happy Hour from 3-9 PM Sunday: Brunch with $1 off domestic Big Boy beers On two other visits, I tried the Mini NachoDaddy from the happy-hour menu, and there was nothing mini about it. I honestly thought they brought the whole dinner portion. I couldn't finish it either time! Note that during happy hour, the nachos only come with steak or chicken. Great food, great prices, and definitely worth checking out.

    Came here for lunch earlier this week and was NOT disappointed! Great atmosphere with plenty of TVs…read moreto watch sports and good music to keep you entertained. The service was great and very quick. I was told everything on the menu is good and I have no hesitation in believing that after just one visit. I tried the KC Philly with fries and a Chicken Taco. The taco was on special for Taco Tuesday and it came with a hard shell wrapped in a soft shell with nice juicy chicken and delicious salsa in the side. I absolutely love a good Philly cheesesteak and this one was delicious. It has some kick from the jalapeños so be prepared! The meat is super juicy and tender and the combination with the veggies is perfect. The fries were also delicious and were fried a different way than I've ever seen which made them super light and airy. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend giving this place a try!

    I want to send a HUGE thank-you to Chastity for taking such good care of me and a colleague last…read moreweek! We were meeting to take care of some college business over lunch, and Chastity was our server (as well as the daytime bartender, which was handy!). She was friendly and so helpful with the menu (it was my colleague's first visit), and gave us recommendations for food as well as drink pairings. She stopped by as we were enjoying our meals, to ensure that everything was going well, and when we asked if we could continue to occupy the table (to finish our meeting, which ended up lasting 90 minutes), she was more than happy to accommodate us. I had the Impossible Burger (my first time trying one) and it was DELICIOUS! I have friends who are vegetarians and often have difficulty with plant-based hamburgers because of the texture, but this was perfect and honestly tasted just like beef. The toppings were fabulous and I was able to upgrade to sweet potato fries (from regular fries) for no extra charge. What a deal! I paired my lunch with a can of non-alcoholic Sam Adams IPA (another first try), and it was super-tasty! My colleague ordered Big Gary's meatloaf and said it was wonderful. Pro tip for conducting a meeting at The Red Door: The high-top tables in the bar area near the front door are quieter than the main dining room, due to the location of the music system's speakers. We had the table in the corner, and there was minimal traffic and it was easy to speak to each other. Again, MANY thanks to Chastity--and to the cooks in the kitchen--for such a great experience and helping to make our lunch meeting a success! We really appreciate you!

    We went to Red Door in Brookside for a big celebration and it was a solid visit. We are more likely…read moreto come back here than other restaurants. The food was good and very tasty. We ordered several items and everything had great flavor. The server was diligent about figuring out ingredients for us since we are cautious with a new food allergy. He helped make sure the dishes were prepared properly and safely, which we really appreciated. I believe his name was Chris. Service overall was very good. The server checked on us just right. We never needed to seek him out and he was always there right when we needed something. The only small issue with service was when we asked for extra sauce. It never came even though someone who was not the server took the request. We made reservations and specifically asked to be sat in the mezzanine because it was a big celebration. That request was not acknowledged. It would be helpful if they considered those seating preferences when they are offered as an option. We did not notice a changing table in the bathrooms. Now that we have a child and cannot always find a sitter, we pay more attention to things like that. Overall it was a good meal with tasty food and attentive service. A couple of small things kept it from being perfect, but we enjoyed it and would return.
