    Chicken nachos and complimentary cheddar biscuits for being a first timer
    William D.

    I've been meaning to come here! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], employees/managers were nice and attentive, and the chicken was tasty! I thought [[HIGHLIGHT]]the layout of the restaurant just made sense and I love that they have the garage doors that open around the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Bruno and I had a wonderful time at Waldo's on Tuesday evening! It's located conveniently close to Cahaba Heights Parks & Rec and the Vestavia Hills Dog Park! [[HIGHLIGHT]]A dog friendly, family friendly, group friendly, everything friendly place to be on a weeknight.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a large bar that has an inside and and outside seating arrangement.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The salad was delicious! I will admit it didn't seem like much from the menu description, but it was delightful. Unfortunately, I wanted something other than Buffalo and the next above Buffalo is habenero oil... which was hottest than I anticipated but completely manageable for us who like the spice. It was especially nice to have the oil throughout the salad. Very flavorful! Bruno approved it after one of the employees came and gave him some love. Could become regulars. (: 02-26-2025

    6 Tender Plate, Fire Roasted Chicken (1/4), White Beans, Collard Greens, Tomato Cucumber Salad
    Alex F.

    CHEDDAR BISCUIT W/ JALAPEÑO RANCH!! I ordered the 6 Tender Plate, Fire Roasted Chicken (1/4), White Beans, Collard Greens, Tomato Cucumber Salad, and a variety of sauces through Uber Eats. While I wish the food had arrived hot--because I can tell it would have been even better--it was still a solid meal. The tenders had great seasoning but leaned a bit on the dry side. However, the Fire Roasted Chicken was a standout--perfectly moist and fall-off-the-bone tender. Unfortunately, none of the sides really impressed me, but the cheddar biscuit was absolutely incredible. I wish I had ordered more because dipping it in the jalapeño ranch was a total game-changer--I could eat that combo all day long. For sauces, I highly recommend the Comeback, Tender Sauce, and Jalapeño Ranch. Overall, I'll definitely be returning--if not for anything else, then for that biscuit and ranch combo. Next time, I'm also trying the tenders hot!

    Who doesn't love a good chicken sandwich? Waldo's is a fast casual spot that offers a great place for lunch or a laid back spot to watch some sports. The fowl mouth sandwich hit the spot. It was sweet and spicy, crispy and juicy. The cheddar biscuits were a little dry but the butter on the side elevated them a lot!

    Chicken Tenders & Fries

    Waldo's in Cahaba Heights is always "Hit & Miss" with me. Today was a "Miss". I had Lunch there today - the Chicken Tender Basket with four tenders and French Fries and Tea. They gave me six tenders instead of 4, but the tenders were the size of my thumb (see pic). The breading was crunchy and tasty but the sliver of chicken was dry and void of taste. The French Fries were about an inch to inch-and-half long and they were soaked with oil. I guess I got the bottom of the bag? Very Disappointed. The Tea was fresh and tasty.

    This is a cute little spot hidden in the Mountain Brook - Vestavia area. There is an outdoor bar and seating as well as an indoor bar and seating. The menu is mostly chicken as you would get from the name. There are wings, tenders, and chicken portions offered as fried or roasted. If you're like my oldest sister and don't like fried chicken, the nachos appetizer is a great option. If you're like me, a vegetarian, there are a few appetizers and salad that will work. They have a good craft bear selection. They also have some really good spiked slushes. I suggest the sneaky peach. If you like peach drinks, you'll love it! If you're wondering how's the chicken, I got mixed reviews. My son had tenders and said they were OK. My husband had a 1/4 chicken fried and thought it was OK, but wished the seasoning was not just on the skin but also in the meat. My sister also had the tenders. She thought they were good. All of them agreed the sides were good. They had fries, collards, and mac n cheese. It's a really chill casual dining spot. The whole family had a great time. The service was great! We will definitely bring the family back again!

I have tried a Mild & Medium. I think I could tolerate the Hot but that would still be a reach. Their mild is what many others would consider medium. I noticed the last visit that Lite Mild was an option in addition to the No Spice. Because of the wait, I ended up taking mine to go on the most recent visit even though I originally intended to dine in. Even to go the food was excellent! Despite how busy they were the staff remained pleasant and provided a great experience. I love the decor both inside and out. The music is a little on the loud side and could make conversation difficult if you have a larger group dining in. Maybe try the patio seating area instead. I wish it was closer to home, I would probably visit more often.

They were pretty busy and he still took his time to make sure every customer was taken great care of. The first thing I noticed about the menu was the prices seemed a little high. However, the portions are much larger than I imagined! We loved the frozen juices. I can definitely see why they are enjoyable after we tried the chicken. I wasn't the biggest fan of the actual chicken tender which I got in no flavor. But the slider that I got in lite mild was good with extra pickles and Dave's sauce! My boyfriend got the hot and as someone who enjoys spice, wasn't too happy with the actual seasoning on the chicken. I'm glad I tried it and maybe if someone suggested it I would try it again. But definitely not my first choice!

Some family friends from Huntsville swear by it and got it while staying with my mom in Bham, so we tried them out during my recent visit. I ordered us the Angel pizza. Had no idea Emmy's pizza was a Detroit style, which I love! The Angel comes with Ricotta, truffle cream, mushrooms, parsley pesto- all good things. The pizza was good and we enjoyed but this flavor was probably just a little too much cream so I'd check out another flavor next time or build my own. I could use more of a red sauce base for Detroit style. Did takeout from The Summit- was mostly quick in and out. Hot, Freshly made and the crispy edges I adore. I like how their two sizes are listed on the website as sixer and tener. It's def not cheap but I guess not horribly priced either. With multiple locations in Nashville maybe I'll try them again eventually, or just default to my favorite, Jets, again which is close to home. But if you want somewhere with Detroit style pizza to go sit down and dine, Emmy Squared can be your move.

We also got the Ang pizza, which was a vodka sauce. The crust was crispy on the edges and also fluffy in the middle. The service was pretty good, it didn't take long for our pizza and it was semi-busy. This is our second time coming here and we definitely had a better experience this time. The pizza is kind of expensive compared to how much you get so I don't think I would come here often.

The sandwich features a large fried chicken breast topped with bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and buttermilk ranch dressing. All of the ingredients complemented each other nicely, making for a very tasty and satisfying meal. David L. and I shared a regular order of fries. The fries were thin, crispy, and perfect for dipping. One of my favorite things at Super Chix is trying the different sauces with the fries. There are about eight unique sauces available at the self-service condiment station. While they would be amazing on the chicken tenders, they also work really well with the fries. For dessert, I ordered the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cold Fusion--yum! I've always experienced excellent service here. The staff is friendly and attentive, and orders are prepared in a timely manner. Overall, another great visit to Super Chix.

And good thing I did! I looked at the menu and honestly wanted to order everything cause it all sounds good. I don't eat much so I went with the two piece chicken tenders kids meal.

She then said "It's the same amount of food." which, ok cool, but I don't think that should be said cause they can lose out on money. Just my opinion.
