The first time I came here was actually the day they opened and we received free food. Which absolutely made my day because we had just moved to the area and I was so stressed. We went to go to the drive through and the manager gave us an invite to come by for a opening party thing with free food. Anyway I appreciated the kind gesture so much that we go back frequently. Each time we have been here it has been consistently delicious and we have always had wonderful and friendly service. Tonight we stopped by the drive through and the lady was probably the nicest we have seen yet. She just put a smile on our faces. I have yet to order anything that wasn't good. The jalapeño ranch is a bit runny but SO good with basically anything. read more

June 6 2025 I ordered the pull chicken sandwich came with fries , the sandwich was dry not a lot of sauce on it. The to go container kept opening up it wouldn't stay closed. If the sandwich had more sauce or if they had ask me if I wanted more sauce it wouldn't have been really good. read more

My 1st time. They gave us an appetizer and drink. The chicken tenders are amazing. They came over to our table 3 or 4 times to check on us. We will definitely go back. I loved, loved, loved the chicken tenders. The best chicken I've ever had.... And a Jelly Roll song played while we were there. I'll be back. read more

All of the workers are as nice and polite as can be, always have a smile! The food is always hot and fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music is always great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They just put up new pictures, I loved the old ones, and I love the new ones.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only complaint I have ever had was they ran out of my favorite draft 6 months ago. It's been back now. My wife will tell you I love this place! Thank you! read more

It was an amazing experience Chicken tenders: perfectly cooked ;spice: 1/10 Potato wedges: slightly over salted: no spice French fries: perfect, fresh; no spice Mac and cheese: perfect, made in restaurant; no spice Waldo's sauce: not as good as Goldfingers; no spice Rooster Sauce: sweet and spicy; 2/10 spice Tea: I had half and half, On point!; no spice read more

Waldo's Chicken and Beer - Dothan - So good I forgot to take a picture before starting - Chicken Shop Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

Both the fried and rotisserie chicken are good but not the best I've ever had. Just needs more seasoning. The beans, tomato and cucumber salad, potato wedges and Mac n cheese are excellent. Skip the fries, their soggy and limp. They have the good ice! read more

First time eating here. I went through the drive thru and the wait was very long even though there was just 1 car in front of me. One thing I've never seen in a drive thru is they gave me an iPad and had 3 tip options. I know times are hard but wow. I got chicken strips and they were definitely freshly cooked but the batter wouldn't stay on. It was just extremely greasy wet strips. The fries were insanely salty it was almost hard to eat. First and last time eating here read more

This was my 3rd time eating here when in town. Have always had good service. The food comes out in a timely manner. Highly recommend the nachos!! The onion rings are good. The fowl mouth sandwich is delicious. Tried the greens this evening, delicious! My son said his wings were delicious! Highly recommend! read more

I got a 3pc tender basket with fries and a order of their cheddar biscuits. The tenders were really tasty, crispy and juicy on the inside and the fries look like they may have been hand cut. The cheddar biscuits were really moist and tasty. Went through the drive through and they were able to get me through pretty quick. Would definitely come back here again. Will have to try dinning in. read more

This started out really good, but the last few times we went the fries were way too salty and the chicken was also over spiced. The staff is very friendly so I hope they get back to what they'd started as. read more

I've given this place multiple opportunities. After today, their nine lives are up. The wings were below average. The beer warm. The staff was untrained, lost, and gave off bad vibes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was so uncomfortable that a guy next to me received a glass of water, took a look around, left a buck on the counter and hit the exit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He was smarter than I was. read more

Unorganized operation. Took 20 mins to get 3 tenders and fries. Go to zaxbys or gurhries for better service and food.

One of the only good chicken places worth visiting in the Wiregrass. We always take our friends and family in town here too. If you dine in, recommend the fries, otherwise would recommend the cucumber salad or mac as a side. Because the style of the fry, they don't stay crisp. I can't say anything about ambiance as we've never dined in, but the drive through service is always terrific & friendly read more

Good was ok . The service was poor . Cashier or waitress too busy talking to men at the bar. Had to ask twice for my drink

My husband and I came in around 7 and we had a BIGGGG order. The gentleman up front was so patient and wonderful. I felt so bad coming in with a big order!!! But the staff handled it so well! I absolutely love this restaurant. I come here at least once a week!!! His name is Boone!!!! Wonderful man!!! Wonderful staff!!! read more

Think we have found a new 'local bar' . We walked in tonight to try for the first time and were excited to see a large bar. We sat at the bar and were greeted by the whole staff. The bartender immediately took our drink orders and asked if we were drinking or eating. We said both. Since the place is named Waldo's chicken and beer- we wanted to stick to the specialty. We ordered the local draft (Folklore) and the fried chicken 1/4. I got the Mac and cheese and the collards. The chicken was breaded nicely and fried great while still juicy. The Mac n cheese was good, the collards were seasoned just right. The biscuit was awesome. Decided to try the banana pudding since it was homemade- it was sweeter than I am accustomed to, but very good. The atmosphere is very casual and friendly- the decor is very quiche and the music is classic rock. There is also outdoor seating that looks cool. Plan to go back. read more

A friend told me i should eat here. So i checked it out, absolutely love this place. Customer service is great the prices are decent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I felt welcomed when i first came into Waldos has a positive vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be coming back read more

The food is great but the experience not so much. My significant other and I grabbed a late night dinner through the drive thru. The cashier repeatedly called my boyfriend baby once we pulled up to pay (totally normal) good customer service. But where you guys lost my business at is when the employee repeatedly calling him "baby" after the fact I said something. Find some class read more

I waited for all the buzz to die down before I first visited Waldo's Chicken and Beer, and I have to say I was a little disappointed. The chicken fingers were average. The macaroni and cheese was SWIMMING in cheese sauce. Dipping sauces were extremely good, but not enough to make up for the chicken and macaroni. The restaurant itself is very nice, and from the outside looks appealing. The service was great, so no complaints there. It was just average, and the last thing Dothan needs is another average chicken spot. Guthries is so much better, and in walking distance. read more

Amazing chicken sandwiches. The fries are incredible and are a must get. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for great food, sauces, and fries. read more

It's complicated. They were busy. Bartender and wait staff working hard, but falling behind. They ran out of white meat chicken. Took a long time to get my alternative food (40 min) but it arrived hot with a gift card apology. I hadn't complained, but they just did it. Food was okay. Beer was better. Yes, I recommend the place because overall, they performed. I'll be back. read more

Went for lunch, wife and I got their 2 different chicken salads. Both were good, only complaint was they were out of the roasted chicken. Service was fast, booths were clean, the little bar seating was nice. Maybe just a little pricey, $34 for 2 salads, 2 drinks and a little side tomato and union salad but everything was fresh and delicious. We will go back read more

One of the many hidden gems in Alabama. Biscuit's were greasy and collards were under seasoned but overall the food was delicious!

Another of the fried chicken powerhouses in the same area. This is the place for on the bone fried chicken. It's a little on the pricey side compared to some of the other options in the area, but also the best in terms of flavor for the chicken. It's a good solid juicy piece of chicken. The sides are also quite nice. When I want fried chicken on the bone (and not wings), this is my choice. Always good service. Always hot and fresh. read more

Good food, lousy service. Two in my party. I ordered three tenders with homemade fries and other order was for chicken sandwich with fries, added one beer and a sweet tea. Food was good and hot, freshly made. Asked for ketchup when food was delivered. Waited and had to ask twice more and then stand at kitchen to get some. They only gave two packs of ketchup. Fries were cold at that point. Servers seemed confused as to who was supposed to help me. read more

The food is delicious. I miss Tazikis, but Waldo's is a silver lining at least. Don't write this place off as just another chicken joint.

Yea.... It's a huge no. Food doesn't look good at all nor does it taste like anything special. It basically will turn into a bar once the new wears off read more

Chicken sandwich (I got the fowl) and we awesome...fries left a lil to be desired. Good, fresh fries but a lil thin to be that soft/soggy...sandwich was awesome tho and it warrants the 4 stars...beer choices were negligible...mostly read more

Friendly staff but overpriced lack luster food. Two persons got one chicken finger order and one 1/4 chicken order with two beers and it cost nearly $40. Ridiculous read more

Friendly service, but I am giving one star because my chicken wing order had 3 half done wings. My salad had a piece of a chicken bone in it. Very disappointed. read more

Very good food close to all my favorite shops they also serve beer and drinks good service

Dadgum expensive chicken! There's a chicken restaurant on every corner and every one of them is cheaper than this one.

I love their chicken that is so flavorful and their fries are unbelievable! Better than McDonalds by far! The staff is so friendly and professional. Makes you feel like family! The decor is welcoming and laid back! Very clean and comfortable! This is definitely a place all needs to visit! read more

Damn good chicken! Nice diner feel to it! Will definitely be back here! Absolutely awesome!
