Staying out in Camp Springs I was looking for a place to grab a quick bite for dinner... Waldo's popped up on my radar. Walking in, the music was blaring, which made it challenging to order, but there was a great reason behind it... karaoke night! The staff working the ordering counter asked if I wanted a go at the mic, but I couldn't muster the courage. I ordered the 1/2 southern fried chicken with collard greens and the tomato & cucumber salad sides. The fried chicken was good, though nothing really to write home about, but the seasoning was good. The collard greens were really good though, along with Tomato & Cucumber salad! My 5-star review comes from the dinner entertainment and the friendliness of the whole staff! Monday night is Karaoke night and it's amazing! read more

Stopped in on a Thursday evening for a bite to eat. We decided to dine in as there was plenty of seating. There are alcoholic beverage options if you choose to sit and watch sports on one of the many mounted televisions. The young lady who took our order was very helpful and had positive energy. This location also offers a military discount with appropriate identification. There wasn't a long wait from ordering to receiving our food. Of note, I asked for some barbecue sauce on the side, and it is not complimentary; it was $0.49 for a small serving. The fries were skinny and tasted just fine, but I prefer my fries thicker cut with some body to them. The wings served are party wings and appeared to have been snatched off a Cornish hen! The lemon pepper rub was generous and tasted fine. For $3.99, I anticipated the size of the lemonade to be larger than the kids' meal cup I received. Totally understand that prices are rising everywhere but for the amount charged vs what was received, it'll take a lot for me to come back and patronize this location. Parking was easy and is shared with other businesses in the marketplace. Capable of accepting cash, credit cards, and mobile pay options. An overall 3.70 star experience. read more

Juicy chicken tenders, crispy fries, coleslaw, and hot sliced bread...  everything was so delicious, and the portion size was just right! And let me tell you about Katie (I think that was her name) she was amazing. I originally ordered my meal online for takeout, but once I got there, I decided to dine in. When I told her, she didn't hesitate she smiled and said, "I got you," and made the switch with no problem at all. Great food and even better customer service. I'll definitely be back! read more

First things first the food was definitely the fastest food I've ever received in my life. By the time he goes around the table to take anyone else's order. Your food is coming out. Customer service was good. This place was pretty new to me. It was my first time met up with my family Menu is pretty simple. Everything is very straightforward. They have a bar which is a plus I didn't taste much besides the naked wings with ranch and fries. The margarita I ordered definitely was a pre-mix wasn't the best but whatever I'll be back. read more

Waldo's Chicken & Beer - 8 wings & fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Camp Springs, Maryland

My work colleagues will tell you, that 99% of the time I "brown bag" my lunch. Partly because I think my lunches taste better, but also cuz I don't think the value proposition for dining out is worth it anymore. Within a 10 minute driving radius of the office, there are a plethora of fast food options (McDonald's, Popeye's, Subway, etc.), fast casual joints like Chipotle, Panera, etc., and a fairly large food court/hall. Meh...I'll pass on all those choices. Waldo's Chicken and Beer recently opened up near me, and on the rare occasion that I decide to eat out or more likely, forgot to pack a meal, this place will be in my regular rotation of lunch spots. Waldo's is a rapidly growing national chain - https://waldoschicken.com/visit - in the ever expanding chicken segment of the restaurant industry. They are primarily in the Southeast, but the location in Camp Springs, MD (a few steps from the Branch Ave Metro) represents their most Northerly expansion. Seems like a trivial thing, but I always appreciate when there is ample parking, which Waldo's has being located in the Restaurant Row Apollo shopping center. Walking in, I immediately notice all of the eclectic artwork on the walls, which are illuminated by copious amounts of natural lighting from the wall-to-floor windows throughout the dining room. Order at the register for in-person dining; the text on the digital menu boards are kind of small, so thankfully there are laminated menus for easier reading. If I'm dining out at a chicken place, I'm not opting for the "sensible" rotisserie style...no, I'm going with the "unhealthy" deep fried stuff. The few times I've been, I'll order either a 3 or 4 piece chicken tender box. The chicken has a nice fry without being overly greasy, and the breading is crispy without being too thick. TBH, I do find the seasoning to be a bit too salty...and this is coming from a person who typically enjoys aggressively seasoned food. Two dipping sauces come with an order. The cream based dips have been kind of a disappointment. I've found them to be a bit watered down or oddly, too "milk" tasting. Stick with the mustard based sauces. Shoe string fries are good and stay crisp even after 10-15 minutes at the table. I think I like the seasoned potato wedges more. I was dining with a few co-workers so we got an order for the cheddar biscuits for the table. They're tasty and come with a side of honey butter. I'm sure my recent lunch exceeded the recommended 1,500 calorie count for the day...but since I'm not eating like this often, I'll enjoy the indulgence. Depending on your order, lunch will average around $15-$20 with most meals including a fountain beverage. read more

Listen... when I tell you all that Waldo's has me in a chokehold, I mean it. I have been there THREE days in a row, and at this point they might as well give me my own booth with my name on it. First of all, the customer service is top tier. On Day 1, we had Sim, and she broke that menu DOWN like she wrote it herself. She knew every item, every sauce, every detail. She had me ordering like I was preparing for a food review show. Day 1 lineup: * The blue chicken salad with rotisserie chicken -- fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. * One quarter fried chicken with collard greens and those fresh-cut fries. * A kids meal with tenders and mac and cheese for my granddaughter. Now let me pause right here... that mac and cheese? BABY. My granddaughter talked about it so much that I told my cousins, and then they wanted some. So guess what? Day 2, we pulled up again. Day 2: * The same fried chicken for me, collard greens, mac and cheese, and onion rings. * The onion rings were not for me, but everything else was excellent. * And then came the banana pudding. I have NEVER -- and I mean NEVER -- had banana pudding like that. I almost needed a moment to myself. Day 3 (today): * I took my Daddy, daughter, and sister because at this point I am bringing folks to the promised land. * More mac and cheese for the grandkid (because obviously). * Another blue chicken salad for me, but with fried chicken this time -- still amazing. * Chicken sandwiches, lemon pepper wings and collard greens for my dad, daughter, and sister, and everybody at the table agreed that WALDO's is a HIT! And yes... I absolutely ordered another banana pudding. As a matter of fact, I may need to get one tomorrow just to keep my soul at ease. If you have not been to Waldo's, go. And if you see me sitting in there again... MIND YO BUSINESS...lol!! I am in my happy place. read more

Visited this restaurant on 11/5/25 and I believe this is their second day open. When you arrive, you order your food, you're given a number, you find a seat, and they bring your food to you. The restaurant is clean and has a lot of indoor seating. It also appears that they will have outdoor seating at some point. I ordered the 1/4 chicken (dark) plate, which comes with 2 sides and choice of sauces. The 1/4 dark was a large thigh which was well seasoned (I think they said they brine the chicken). For sides, I chose fries (which were like shoestring fries and seasoned well) and collard greens (which tasted better than ok, had small bits of meat, but had too many stalks). I came with 4 others who had chicken tenders (said they were good), the OG chicken sandwich, and banana pudding (I heard good things about it and hope to try it next time). I also had the jalapeño ranch (ranch with a very slight kick) and Kingsbury "comeback" sauce (which tasted like honey mustard and something). Both were good! Currently, they are still awaiting a liquor license but I can see this being a popular bar setting when that happens. The service was excellent and I hope it remains that way as time goes on! read more

Waldo's is a Nashville, Tennessee franchise business. It's a welcome addition to the Camp Springs area. The chicken is cooked fresh. They don't use frozen meat. You order when you walk in the door. The team is happy and ready to help out with your needs. Then you receive a number then sit down to receive your food whether you are eating in or doing takeout. I enjoy the chicken strips basket that includes two sides and a beverage. They also have several different flavors of dipping sauces that are all tasty. The interior is bright, has a bar, and several tvs with different sporting events on each. My favorite drink is the frozen cocktails for $5! There is a frozen margarita and a second flavor that rotates week to week. The flavor I enjoyed the best is the strawberry lemonade drop. I frequently hear more often than I would like to admit. read more

Waldo's is still within its first 6 months. We stopped in to place a to-go order and waited for it to be ready. The 2 stars is for the 2 things that were positive: customer service and cleanliness. However, the food, which is the most important part, was just not enjoyable for me. We ordered the tender fingers basket, which is 6 tenders plus 2 sides (we chose collard greens and fries) and a cheddar biscuit. Since this was a first visit and also being shared, I also ordered an additional side of Mac and cheese and a banana pudding. The issue was how salty the food was. Yikes! I could not even eat beyond one tender and a forkful of the sides. Interestingly, the cheddar biscuit was more sweet than savory. Didn't notice until I got home that there were no sauces despite selecting two. Disappointing experience for me but others will enjoy the things I didn't like. Different strokes for different folks of course! read more

Waldo's Chicken & Beer might be my new low‑key go‑to. We tried the kids' loaded mac and cheese, the BBQ Bird sandwich, and the rotisserie chicken plate with the tomato‑cucumber salad and coleslaw -- everything was genuinely delicious. I love that it's a fried chicken spot but still has solid "lighter" options like the salads and rotisserie. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. The vibe surprised me too. Super clean, plenty of TVs, a nice bar, and still totally kid‑friendly. It's the kind of place I'd actually sit down and eat instead of grabbing takeout. Chill atmosphere, good food, easy experience. I'll definitely be back. Also food came out super quick! My kid asked for another sandwich! read more

Amazing food. Everything made fresh. Literally everything. They come in early to squeeze lemons and limes for their mixers. Wings fried crispy are CRISPY. They are about to extend their hours one hour later than what is already posted. The slush margs are $5 everyday all day. When the sun come out, their patio will open. Def the place to be!!!! read more

The only thing good about this place was the DJ and the young lady at the counter who took my order...the wings were disgusting. They lacked flavor and since when does extra crispy mean rubbery? The comeback sauce needs to leave and never comeback. A mix of mayo vinegar and cayenne pepper. Ugh!! The $5 spiked slushies were nothing special. Thankfully it was just $5 which was $4 too much. It was hard to hear anyone offer food items because the DJ was too loud, even though he was VERY GOOD. I don't think I will be back. The wing(ettes) were severely over priced for the rubber skin. The parking was a total disaster...I don't think...I KNOW I won't be back...smh. read more

I've ate here about four times so far and I always get the same sandwich (Fowl Mouth) - the best chicken sandwich I think I've ever had and it sets the benchmark for now. Hopefully they won't change anything w/ the current (May 2026) recipe. Potato Wedges for the sides. A+ read more

My experience was pretty decent,I like the fact that they had multiple T.V 's. It wasn't a wide variety of drinks but it was due to the restaurant just opening the waiter did inform us that they were receiving a shipment at the end of the week. The wings that I ordered were good they allowed me to do two different flavors which was excellent but they could've added a little bit more sauce just in my opinion. Atmosphere was good nice and quiet. I recommend this establishment. read more

Great food and customer services! I love the rotisserie chicken, tenders and biscuits! Nice social establishment, family friendly!

If you come on Sunday there is no one on the counter someone was actually eating sitting behind the counter where you couldn't see. Ask if I needed help I was confused cuz soon to eating and have a drink yet asking me if I needed help and they're not even near the front they're in the very back I had to walk behind the counter to where people ate to see what's going on. I waited for like 5 minutes and nobody was at the front but I saw people eating I was like what's going on. However the food is delicious especially the muffins you have to try it! read more

Ordered here for the 1st time and I must say the food (roasted,fried chicken and sides) were tasty. However, I did not received the full 1/4 dark rotisserie chicken. Once I noticed the issue I called to explain that the thigh was cut in half and was told ( by a manager, I guess) that this was not possible and to expect the rotisserie chicken to be smaller because it's cut. Technically, I was to receive a leg and thigh(should be leg&one thigh), which I can understand that roasted chicken can be smaller; I buy them from the grocery store all the time, but this thigh was indeed cut in half. There was not even a second bone attached. Next time, I will definitely order a half of rotisserie chicken to not get cheated. Money is so hard to come by in this economy and climate, and I believe people should get what is advertised or what they pay for. Mac and cheese and wedges were the sides, btw. read more

Go and I mean Go now. Everything was awesome. Get 2orders of greens. You will not be disappointed!!!

I had a terrible experience while trying to pick up my order. I paid for my order on line and when I tried to pick it up, I was told by an employee (older white woman with facial scars and heavy makeup). I have picked up my order several times and never been told to prove that I had paid for the meal. She then explained that they had been robbed by people picking up orders they had not paid for. I told her that a robber could not provide my name for pick up. I was dressed professionally as I was coming from work. I did not fit the profile of a robber. I wonder if this employee treats white patrons in this manner. Management should counsel this employee. I will NEVER order from Waldos again and I will share my experience with family and friends read more

Ordered a blue cheese salad. Guess what was missing lol no blue cheese crumbles or pecans that were mentioned on the menu. Took it to go so was not able to get it fixed. Also had tenders which were good and flaky. Macaroni and cheese is white and very creamy. It was good but very rich. read more
