Social Waldo Social Waldo 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. read more

Came here for lunch earlier this week and was NOT disappointed! Great atmosphere with plenty of TVs to 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! read more

My man and I have visited this place twice because their food looked good and both times we've had to walk right back out. The first time there was some type of event going on and we couldn't get an employee to help us so we walked out and went somewhere else. The second time we came the kitchen closed by 9pm on a Saturday night, which I found to be unusual. read more

Absolutely loooved the burger I got!! The only reason I didn't give full stars is because I paid for a few extras that weren't on the burger. I'll definitely be trying it in person soon tho so I might update my review soon!(: read more

Wow, wow, wow !! Walked into a college football atmosphere this morning as KState was playing Texas. Surrounded by nothing but purple and there was a DJ who kept the atmosphere going. At first glance, it was packed, however were able to find seating right away, and I loved the fact that the waitress came over to acknowledge us so fast. We were off to a great start !! I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich, held the Nashville sauce with the slaw on the side, and it was delightful. I could only eat half a it was very filling, and the fries were fresh and delicious as well. Now I will say that I'm glad I had the slaw on the side as it wasn't very tasteful to me, but I like my slaw more of the taste of KFC. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had a nice flavor. The pickles and special sauce complimented it nicely, and did I mention it was service on texas toast. My friend ordered the breakfast chimichanga with steak and the breakfast potatoes. Also very filling. If you like a little heat to your food, this is for you. There were jalapeños throughout and accompanied by a spicy queso. If you're in the Waldo area, stop by and check it out. Perfect for watch parties, meet up with the girls. Nice breakfast menu if you are looking for that option as well. read more

The Social is a popular sports bar in the Waldo area of Kansas City for several reasons. There are televisions on every wall playing different games and sports so that everyone is able to watch a game of their choosing. On Tuesday's, The Social serves $2 tacos and $5 margaritas which is such a good deal! At 7PM on Tuesday's, music bingo starts and it is completely free to play! Want to a chance to win a 6-pack of beer? Try your luck at bingo at the Social on Tuesday's! The environment of the Social is always fun and uplifting. There are other deals throughout the week, but I love visiting on Tuesdays! The service is quick and attentive. Highly recommend going to the Social to watch a game! read more

Great bar in Waldo for drinks with friends, some bites to eat, and watching sporting events! I visited with a few friends to watch March Madness games and there were TVs all around the restaurant, with different games on different screens. There's plenty of table and bar seating. They had a happy hour going on, which was a bonus. Our drinks and food came out quickly after ordering. I ordered the Waldo Rolls and a margarita during happy hour. I'd recommend parking in the lot right in front of the restaurant, or on one of the street spots. read more

Super fun on game day! We came here with a group of 8, so we made a reservation beforehand. We had brunch and drinks and stayed for the chiefs game. The vibe was absolutely electric and the DJ was awesome! Our server was running around crazy with how busy they were but she stayed on top of things despite the crowd! I had the breakfast tacos and there were so good, but the fries were the BEST! The only thing I wish they had was the mimosa tower that was on there online menu. They don't have them during football season. Still a super fun and great experience! read more

I enjoyed the nice atmosphere and the cheerful, helpful, attentive, first rate service during my dine-in lunch at this new sports bar. My chopped southwest chicken wrap with choice of side ($11 and $1 upcharge for tots) was served 17 minutes after I ordered. It was nicely sized, fresh, and tasty with a fair amount of chicken, a tangy sauce and a good portion of tots. The seating area was nicely done with a nice bar area, about a dozen TVs, 80's background music, two electronic dart boards, a shuffle board table, two rollup garage doors and a smokers' patio. They also offer DJ and live music events. The prices seemed relatively high, but I anticipate the daily food and happy hour specials (coming soon) will help with that. Overall, very nice. read more

Only stopped by for a couple drinks, but seems like a nice spot to get together with friends. There's a shuffleboard, some dartboards and tons of seating. Our server was kind and drinks were super cheap. Only paid $8 for my espresso martini - such a steal!! Didn't get a chance to try the food but the menu is decently sized and has standard bar-fare eats. read more

Exciting new addition to Waldo! My biggest takeaway: $5 Busch Light "big boys" all day everyday. They know the way to an Iowa graduate's heart! Happy hour deals were VERY good. Overall, I thought the prices were comparable to most other local spots. Chips and queso were a good happy hour appetizer. The burgers on their menu all looked fantastic. I went with the Popper Burger (bacon jam and jalapeño cream cheese with Sriracha aioli on a toasted brioche bun), and it was awesome! A little spice but not overpowering and full of flavor. I always love the double stacked burgers. The side salad with jalapeño ranch was also better than I expected. We had a fantastic experience and look forward to this becoming one of our go-to spots in the neighborhood! read more

Oh my goodness I can't believe I enjoyed the Social's Nashville Hot Fried Chicken so much! I prefer my egg over medium rather than over easy, no problem, I got it "my way!. The biscuits were huge and yummy too with extra maple syrup served on the side. Huge TV screens were on each side of our table, so we enjoyed watching two college football games at the same time. I joked with one of the servers that he must walk 20,000 steps a day as he never stopped moving the entire time we were there. I loved being in a room full of Kansas football fans whose camaraderie was quite apparent. One guy came over to our table a couple of times and was a riot and so much fun! You could tell he is the "life of the party!" All the food that we saw being served were huge portions and all seemed to be devoured quickly! I had such a great time at Social Waldo - a great "Watch Party!" read more

Monday is happy hour ALL DAY! I was excited to try this place but wasn't overly impressed. We started with chips and salsa and queso from the happy hour menu. $8 for both but I would stick with just the queso. It has a nice spicy to it. I got the buffalo grilled cheese, that didn't include any cheese on it. I should have read the menu a little closer. The jalapeño cream cheese on it was a delicious touch. The fries were nice and crispy with some pepper seasoning. The sweet potato fries were too squishy for me. Our service was great and we never had to ask for anything. read more

Social Waldo is now serving brunch and I'm not mad at it. Overall I enjoy this restaurant from its themed nights, live music or DJs, good drinks, and decent food. Their brunch is no different. The menu isn't big but the items to choose from are pretty good. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich which is topped on a buttery and fluffy biscuit with scrambled eggs, bacon, and syrup. It was delicious. Also ordered the AM tacos with steak and they were good too. What made the tacos was the sriracha aioli. It added so much flavor. They have a pretty decent drink menu and offer mimosa towers and several options for a Bloody Mary. This place definitely creates the coastal vibes that are perfect for the brunch scene. Staff is friendly and service can be hit or miss depending on how crowded it is. Parking is available in the lot across the street but I suggest arriving early as it gets packed quickly. Did I mention that this bar makes for a great place to watch the game? There isn't a bad seat in the house and TVs are EVERYWHERE! Make sure you pay this spot a visit! read more

TLDR - Food was delicious. Atmosphere was fabulous. Drinks were strong. Service was bad. I'm a sucker for brunch, so I'm always looking for new places. I didn't have real high expectations for Social since it didn't have bottomless mimosas, but BOY WAS I PROVED WRONG. The mimosa towers were a hit! And you can add an extra bottle for only $10! They also offer classic orange, cranberry or a mixture of the two. We tried orange and the mix and loved both. We also enjoyed the loaded tater tots and they were perfectly crisp and the sauce on top was to die for. Several people at my table ordered the biscuits and gravy and they are definitely big enough to share! I waited until lunch to try to Waldo Egg Rolls. (YUM) The only complaint is that the server hardly ever came back to help us out, when we needed a refill, silverware, etc. and the bathrooms had no toilet paper and I couldn't find anyone to ask besides the bartender. read more

New bar in Waldo. Saw they had live music so decided to go here for dinner and drinks. The waitress was nice, but knew absolutely nothing about the menu, alcohol or really anything about the restaurant industry at all. She continued to say this is my third day and laugh. We asked if they served flings. She had no idea. Attempted to order a shot of Screwball- she didn't know if the bar had or even what it was in general. The live music was meh. He kept stopping in the middle of his songs and fiddled with his guitar. Not sure what was up. The food was also meh. Ordered the Nashville hot chicken. Not hot. Very plain. Got it with a side salad. The waitress again didn't know what dressings they had. It's also not on the menu. Speaking of the menu there's a blatant spelling mistake. Overall this place is MEH. Not in any hurry to return. read more

Went to brunch and the atmosphere was cool. Got the biscuits and gravy which were really good, but the bacon was over cooked and burnt. No bueno. As a brunch lover but not able to eggs, menu on had 1 item that didn't have eggs mixed into on top. So for me I'd like to see more brunch options not including eggs. Enjoy the atmosphere but food is okay. read more

Sexy place, great for groups. Brace yourself as excusing yourself to the powder room is an experience all of its own.

Good service and good food. We enjoyed ourselves and there were plenary of tv's so we could watch both soccer and golf at the same time. Will be back. read more

First time here. Barely average enthusiasm from wait staff. One kind, stable, decently skilled bartender and one who seems new, didn't feel good or was just unconfident. The place was nice and clean but a forgettable place to hang out. Unique coed bathrooms that worked due to being open on both ends/solo stalls only. I will go back and see if Social Waldo has more character that I maybe missed on an off night. read more

YUM! I'm so happy to have another sports bar in Waldo. Social Waldo is a more "upscale" sports bar as far as food goes (vegetarian options, decent variety of menu items) but a pretty typical sports bar for the drinks. No complaints here though, the prices were reasonable, service was good, and the atmosphere was great! I cannot wait to watch football here this fall, with the open garage doors! read more

Great spot in Waldo! Stopped in for a late lunch because I had gotten a gift card for here. Bonus surprise and found all day happy hour on Monday which is always a great thing! Food was delicious, bartender was super friendly and attentive, and drinks were great as well. We'll definitely return to support them (especially with all the terrible construction right in front)! read more

I had heard a few friends say good things about this new place so I was ready to give it a whirl. Especially after our experience in that same space as a previous restaurant. The atmosphere was fun and laid back with a modern feel. Our waitress was quick to grab our drink orders even as our party trickled in at different times. We had no idea that Tuesday evenings were scheduled for Music Bingo so the vibe changed pretty quickly, both good and bad. The host blasted his music so loudly that none of could have a conversation with each other, but luckily we were all excited to unexpectedly play music bingo. The frustrating part of the evening was the difficulty ordering food. We understand that it was a busy night but when we finally found our waitress, she was gone before we could order food. We could barely get out our drink order before she ran off. I will say that she was very nice, but we were getting extremely irritated, mainly because of hunger, but then we lost interest in bingo too. Overall, the drinks were good, the food was just ok and the atmosphere was interesting when you're not expecting a special performance. read more

Watch your tickets. This place is trained to ring in extra items to make the ticket larger. They will also add %18 gratuity to ANY table of 6 or more. WATCH YOUR TICKETS!!!! I've had an experience when my table was charged the %18 and there was ONLY 4 people. This place WILL SCAM YOU!!!! read more

It was a gorgeous Sunday morning as I approached the doors of Social in Waldo. Anticipating meeting some friends, I happened to be the first to arrive. I was greeted by a lovely gentleman named Ed, who proceeded to serve me a Jager Bomb after not being quite sure what to order drink wise, (I had never heard of them, but definitely 5 stars.) After several silver, dirty porpoises shots, he insisted on telling me about how much he loves country. Not sure who he is trying to convince, but oh my oh my, how I was impressed. My experience at Social has forever changed my opinion on this city, it is truly glorious. I WILL be a returning customer. read more
