    SOUTHERN SANDWICH
    Kristina P.

    We popped in Waldo's for lunch when we arrived in Nashville and it was a solid choice. I got the Southern Sandwich which had pimento cheese on it (something I can't pass up) but honestly, I could've done without the pimento cheese. It wasn't the best I've had. However, the chicken was breaded and fried perfectly! Not overly breaded and the chicken was so tender

    So the food is always good. Can't go wrong with tenders. I think they changed their menu recently and its just a friendlier menu. More options to customize your meal. The service is always good but this time was a hoot. I was laughing with the staff and they even taught me some Spanish. So great ambiance and got to catch the Monday football game. Im always coming back to Waldos.

    One of my favorite places to grab to-go when craving chicken. Love: fried chicken (seasoned very well, crispy); potato wedges (nice cut size, crispy, seasoned well); coleslaw (great flavor, crisp cabbage, juicy); banana pudding (always surprised how good this is, taste like it's prepared like old-fashioned pudding, crunchy cookies) Like: spacious dining room; validated parking; service is fine

    Chicken SCRATCH SALAD
    Alex K.

    I really love Waldo's! I think they have some of the best chicken in town. Everything is good here - the chicken tenders, the chicken PLT, the chicken scratch salad (with honey mustard!) and especially the cheddar biscuits with honey butter! The restaurant is great - you order at the counter and then can sit outside on the porch (it's dog friendly!) or inside or at the bar. They've always got tv's on with a game or two. Also a great choice for takeout too. They've got curbside parking spots out front that are clutch.

    WINNER WINNER WALDO'S FRIED CHICKEN DINNER | in the city of highly competitive hot chicken, we had a light bite nearby before wanting something heartier to end the night - so fried chicken it is. And I'm always a fan of a dog friendly outdoor patio. We started off with a fun wicked weed watermelon dragonfruit burst and a frozen marg and ended with a 1/4 fried chicken dark meal. The chicken was fried to crispy perfection and the cheese biscuit and fries were the perfect complement. If you're looking for a solid meal of fried chicken and beer, Waldo's needs to be your low-key go-to.

    This place is always a good idea for lunch every single time. Do yourself a favor and get the collard greens. They're not just good. They're SOUTHERN good. Delicious and flavorful! While the food is delicious, I keep coming back because the staff is always attentive, the location is clean, and I've never had to wait long for food.

    Our food tour took us here and we were served hot chicken tenders....I am sorry but I stopped eating chicken tenders when I was 12 ( that was the tours fault and the review they deserved). Never the less the spice and texture of their chicken is dam good. Wish I could have had bone in chicken as it looked great. Fantastic gooey mac and cheese. Hella good muffin Great selection of suds I still much prefer Hattie B's ...yeah I know they are so commercial now but the original location is just the bee's Knees

    Ohhhhhhh my this place was fantastic! Located in a strip with several other places to get food this restaurant was a definite food highlight of our trip. I ordered the large chicken strip meal with potato wedges and the macaroni and cheese I had two dipping sauces- jalapeño ranch and habanero oil. Both of the sauces were so good. The habanero oil is quite spicy as one would imagine. I only wish the ranch would have been in a bigger size. The food is seasoned and cooked perfectly. My potato wedges were the perfect mix of crispy on the outside while maintaining a softer center. The chicken here is a star! Excellent in every way. I was so happy in its flavor and overall presentation/preparation. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. The prices are reasonable for what you get. The only foreseeable issue is finding a parking spot.

    It's always a joy to dine here. I usually get the same thing and it never disappoints! Try any location and receive great customer service and a great meal! The decor is very unique as well. The Collard Green are a MUST try!

    Outside seating

    Cool place. Nice and open, inside and outside seating. Music and lively atmosphere. Ordered 1/4 dark fried chicken with fries and mac&cheese, sweet tea for about $15. Looks like a popular spot as they have a steady influx of customers. Dinner took about 15 minutes to come out. It was good but wasn't fresh hence the 3 rating. I thought given the constant flow of customers it would have been very fresh.

    Super pumped to have Waldo's Chicken & Beer in Germantown, especially with such a cool and well located and mapped out location! This particular Waldo's shares a small strip with two other food vendors, one dessert and the other Italian. It sits a block from Christie Cookies and across the way from Neighbors and First Horizon Park. So, it is a great location to grab a quick bite or a beer at before heading to a Sounds Game or to wander around Germantown! The space, as mentioned, is stellar for a Waldo's. It is fully open-air with garage style doors separating the inside and outside, which is a covered patio that features a TV and is dog friendly. While there is a bar inside, for the beer, ya know...it does not have any seats like their other locations...so no bellying up to the bar for tenders and beer here. However, you got plenty of other seating options! While parking is not plentiful, I do appreciate the small dedicated lot that features 90 minutes free. If you are not lucky enough to snag a spot right in front, there are several other paid lots nearby and quite a bit of street parking as well. Overall, solid Waldo's spot that is definitely on the rotation when the craving for tenders and beer strikes!

    In short: The Nashville hot chicken of your dreams…read more I got this recommendation from my cousin . I wanted the best hot chicken money can buy and it delivered . We were staying downtown so This was about a 35 mins plus walk From the thick of tourist town. Ambiance: it's a little shack with barstool Type seating that goes fast. Service: not quick.. but that's okay because It's worth the wait . It was about 45 mins For our order and within a two hour time Frame I couldn't count the amount of people In and out . Food: I got the pimento hot chicken sandwich in medium. It had a little kick but I like spicy and could've went up a notch. It Was perfect ! Good breading, flavor profile and the chicken was piping hot! We also Ordered the pimento Mac n cheese which Was fire . I also had the mustard potato salad..again... absolutely delicious. I tried Hattie B's two days later and there's no comparison whatsoever . Come here for Nashville Hot chicken .. you won't regret it!

    4.5/5 - first timer at reds hot chicken & it did not disappoint!…read more Ordered the medium slice hot chicken & waffles with fries as a side. The chicken was fantastic - crispy, juicy & spicy! Fries were average - hot & seasoned but nothing special! I didn't have any of the other sides although I would love to try them if I make it back! We did wait 45 minutes for the food - but they have a sign flashing which tells you the wait time BEFORE you order so this was nothing surprising! Would recommend everyone to try it out if they make it to Nashville

    What a gem of a place. We were on a tour of Nashville and the guide mentioned it as place to try…read more Served up family style, so you sit with random guests and sate a meal. The server was wonderful and kept the plates coming so there was no chance of running out. The fried chicken was the real deal with light breading and cooked to perfection. Collected greens, beans, pot roast and plenty of other items. If back in town again, we will be back. And for $18 a person, it's more than your moneys worth.

    This was an absolute GEM in Nashville to visit. Family style southern home cooking…read more Came in here with a decent size group because one of our tour guides recommended it. We were so happy we gave this a chance and waited the hour+ to get in. Without doing much research, the surprises throughout the dining experience made it even better. They pair you up at a large table with other guests. You're introduced as cousins, brothers and sisters, friends, whatever you want! But you're going to be passing dishes the entire start and getting to know your neighbors at the table. So many things came out that were incredibly delicious to try. Chicken, pot roast, mac and cheese, corn mash, coleslaw, potatoes, sweet potato, biscuits, pasta! All of it was incredible. There's peach tea and lemonade too at the table and a pecan dessert at the end. Amazing experience and it was so cheap too. Only recommendation other than to absolutely try this place is to be respectful of the time you're there. They cycle people in and out pretty quick and you're given a card to remind you that when you notice tables near you getting reset for another group, your time is up and it's time to go!
