I had the chicken tender meal with Mac and cheese and it was so good! I felt like the meat was juicy and a nice portion for the size and the Mac and cheese was super creamy. I would totally order from here again! read more

The chicken was excellent--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. You can tell that's what they're known for. The sides, however, missed the mark for me. I tried the mac and cheese and the greens, and neither had the flavor or texture I was hoping for. I'd come back for the chicken without hesitation, but I'd probably switch up my side choices next time. The chicken alone was worth the visit. The free parking is excellent! I appreciate that so much read more

We love Waldo's, no matter which one we go to. The food is so good, and the service is unbeatable. This location is not a drive-through, but oh boy, is it huge. With both inside and outside seating, I bet it's awesome in the summer because they have giant TVs. We will definitely be back soon! read more

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 read more

Waldo's Chicken & Beer - SOUTHERN SANDWICH - Chicken Shop Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A repeat restaurant for us! It's fast casual & good for take out as well. We've been to the Brentwood location and it doesn't disappoint. Their mini tenders & biscuits are too good. read more

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. read more

I happened across this little gem based on Yelp and the fact that one closer to the hotel had closed early. Quite the happy accident! This is an absolute OG spot! Well, it seems like the sort of place that has been around for a long time, I recently learned they only opened in 2019. At this location, in Germantown, they've got tons of indoor and outdoor seating. You order inside and then can take a seat or get things to go. They have lots of TVs, so stopping in on a Sunday worked out well. It was nice to catch a few games while waiting for my order, and the place just had a really relaxed vibe. Chicken is obviously their specialty, and they do it well! I got the OG sandwich and it was delicious! Simple with really nice flavor on the breading, moist chicken, and some delightful pickles to boot. The fries are shoestring-esk and quite good. This would be a perfect spot to come with a group and grab different chicken options and sides, so everybody's able to try different things. This is going to be a spot to check out any time we are in town! read more

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 read more

Waldo's Chicken & Beer - Half fried chicken, honey mustard, bbq, potato wedges, cornbread muffin - Chicken Shop Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

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. read more

Waldo's Chicken & Beer - Chicken SCRATCH SALAD - Chicken Shop Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

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. read more

This was the absolute most disgusting chicken I've ever had. We couldn't eat it. Every single piece dry as a bone chewy and gross. All the fries were completely soggy and gross. Everything seemed it was left overs from 3 days prior. So disappointing!!!!!!! We ordered delivery ate it right away. It was the drivers only spot. No excuses for this horrible of food. read more

Fried chicken sandwiches are generally straightforward to prepare and hard to mess up. I've had my fair share of both great and not-so-great chicken sandwiches, and my expectations are pretty reasonable: a crispy, juicy piece of chicken, a soft brioche bun, and a well-seasoned, flavorful sauce. That's all it takes to make me a satisfied diner. Waldo's Chicken and Beer offers a variety of menu options, but I decided to try their Chicken Tender Sandwich. Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations. The chicken was undercooked in the center, which was not only disappointing but also concerning. Additionally, the bun was dry, making the sandwich even less enjoyable. On a positive note, the staff at Waldo's were friendly and accommodating, but unfortunately, their hospitality couldn't make up for the shortcomings of the food. While the menu shows potential, my first experience with Waldo's Chicken and Beer left me disappointed. I hope they address these issues because the concept has promise, and I'd like to give them another chance in the future. read more

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. read more

The atmosphere was incredible! I loved the vibes of this place. The service was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the chicken tenders were just ok. I didn't think they were seasoned well and despite ordering the hottest dipping sauce... it was not hot read more

Do not order anything online. If there is an issue, like they run out of the item, you're out of luck. They won't even refund you. Very unprofessional setup with zero concern for customer service. All I got was "there's nothing I can do for you" from the manager. Lost me as a customer and I will make sure I share my experience with anyone that asks. read more

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 read more

It was my first time there and The food and service were both excellent! I will definitely return!!

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. read more

Waldo's Chicken & Beer - Leg FRIED QUARTER DARK Macaroni & Cheese Potato Wedges Cheddar Biscuit Orange Fanta - Chicken Shop Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

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. read more

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! read more

The chicken was amazing and would recommend it over Hattie B's. Then again Hattie B's is a little overrated. The service was good and the decide makes you smile with all the musicians with there own cocks in the picture, especially Ozzy eating his cock. Would recommend stopping and having some chicken and a brew. read more

I came here on a whim on a Saturday night. It wasn't crowded with just a few occupied tables and cars in the drive thru line. We got the foul mouth sandwich with fries, tenders with wedges, and cheddar biscuit basket. After ordering, the food came out in maybe 5 minutes max. It was so fast I couldn't believe it. I really enjoyed the foul mouth sandwich and fries. It wasn't too spicy for me. I don't usually like slaw but theirs was enjoyable. My boyfriend got the tenders and wedges. He said they were pretty regular and there was nothing special about it. The cheddar biscuits could have used more cheddar. read more

My buddy would not stop talking about how Waldo's is his favorite gem in town so naturally, I had to give it a try. And boy, it is GOOD. REAL GOOD. Not exactly a 'hole in the wall' but it is a comfortable, chill spot with some insanely good food. I wish I could have tried all of the sauces but I guess I'll just have to keep coming back :) I got a huge salad with fried chicken (duh) and it was mouthwatering. The guys got some awesome chicken sandwiches and I wish I could have indulged but I wasn't hungry enough this time. Extra crispy. Extra flavorful. Great sauces. Great dishes. Easy. You really can't beat it. read more

I couldn't believe the value for the quality of the food here! The menu prices felt like they were in the 2010s, very refreshing for a city.

Horrible food and service. The person at the register didn't know what he was doing. Then we I provided feedback, they were incredibly dismissive. read more

We try both the Franklin and Germantown Waldo's. This we try to smush the too together as the food offering, quality, and service were very consistent between the two. Which in itself is a plus. The locations couldn't be more different. Franklin is in a strip center. Nice, modern, quick serve restaurant in a strip center. Germantown is also newer, but a full sit down restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. It has that new Nashville vibe. And new Nashville prices. The chicken is of high quality, fried, and delish. They've found the right type of batter. Light. You get an ample portion and the standard array of sauces from bland to very hot or so we read. Everyone's spice tolerance is different. We found the sweet and spicy about mid-way up the scale to be both, but the spice was more flavorful than hot. The potato wedges are great. The rest of sides like Cole slaw and Mac were 'alright.' Both places were clean. The staff was more than accommodating. Really good service. They have single person gender neutral bathrooms. With a sign 'we don't care which one you use- just wash your hands.' Something of note in the current climate in TN. read more

Waldo's is one of my favorite fast casual spots in Nashville! Their food is always fresh and well made.

I had tried their mouthwatering Fowl Mouth Sandwich yesterday at a Yelp Elite event and the chicken was so good that I was craving for more. This time we got the 1/2 Fried Chicken Plate with a biscuit, fries and Mac and Cheese as well as a Fruit Tea. And a Chicken Tender combo to go. After tasting the regular Fried Chicken, I realized that what makes the Fowl Mouth Sandwich absolutely phenomenal is the combination of the Habanero Oil and Jalapeno coleslaw on the chicken sandwich. But just 1 sandwich is not enough so hopefully Waldo's comes up with a Double Fowl Mouth Sandwich cos that's probably the most addictive chicken sandwich I've ever had. read more

When you walk into Waldo's you'll know you're in the right place, from the smell. You order at the counter, take a table and a seat, then wait in suspense. The portion sizes are good and the chicken is meaty. I enjoyed the chicken wings a small bit more than the tenders, but both were good and would order again. The wedges are good, "meaty" but still crispy. The star of the show besides the wings were the cheddar biscuits!! Oh my, I don't know if I caught a fresh batch or if they're always like that but I will most definitely be back for more! read more

My go too order is the chicken sandwich and fries. Add cheese. I love there salads too. The one with blue cheese is fire.

This place is great - I've been for lunch with coworkers, late night snack after a baseball game, or just a quick dinner on weekends. The food is very consistent and they have a wide variety of sauces - haven't tried one I didn't like! The cheddar biscuits are the best thing on the menu. It's a chill and laidback environment with fairly priced food. The outdoor patio is nice too - this is a decent place to watch sports since they have TVs. You just order at the counter and they bring your food out to you, but it's usually pretty fast and everyone has always been kind and helpful. read more

This place used to be a lot better when they sold loaded Mac. We come here all the time for lunch and dinner, it's great in a pinch and it's rarely full of you want to watch the game on TV while you eat. For my OG sandwich, they were out of chicken thighs so they had to sub it with chicken tendies and it made the sandwich messy and challenging to hold together. It looks really sad with wilty lettuce but it was a decent sandwich. Pro-tip, order it with Waldo's sauce and coleslaw otherwise the sandwich is dry as the Sahara. The staff members are friendly and quick to correct any issues. My name is not Amber, but that's what they named my order, which causes confusion when it was ready. They need to bring back the Loaded Mac N Cheese, it was the best thing in the menu so idk why they got rid if it. I'd give it a 3.5 but they get 4 stars because the staff and service are great. read more

Waiters were very nice and kind.Food was great and yummy and the buffalo sauce hit the spot.Definitely a go - to .

Writing as I eat, it's THAT good! Did some recon on my flight over on where to get a hot chicken sandy that wasn't Hattie Bs and Waldo's came up (along with Prince and Balton). It did not disappoint. Got the spicy chicken sandwich which was just the right amount of heat and a side of Mac and cheese. It'd say sandy 5/5 and Mac and cheese 4.5/5. Then got a side of biscuits which came with 6. They are smaller but enough to share, another 5/5 paired with the butter. read more
