Waldo's Chicken & Beer is always a win. Great food, friendly staff, and an owner who walks the restaurant greeting new faces. Their beer selection is excellent for a small spot, and the margaritas put some Mexican restaurants to shame. The mac and cheese is homemade with fresh pasta is a true must‑try. All the sides are homemade, including their large selection of condiment sauces, and even the salad dressings are scratch‑made in‑house. They also offer all‑day happy hours on Sundays and Tuesdays, plus daily happy hour from 4-6 p.m. I highly recommend this little Sharpsburg gem. read more

Really glad we tried this place, customer service is great, the food is good, it's clean, and the decor is unique. I tried the rotisserie chicken with cucumber tomato salad and coleslaw. The chicken was decent, not as moist as I expected, but it was good. The salad was actually the stand out here. I would highly recommend trying it. My daughter had the tenders, and they were seasoned well and cooked to perfection. Service: 10/10 Food: 9/10 Ambiance: 10/10 read more

My wife and I went to Waldo's Chicken and Beet for the first time. We were very impressed. The cashier a young man was very nice and polite. He suggested some items to try. My wife and I both got the rotisserie chicken plate. Not dark meat. She had the Cole slaw and the tomato and cucumber salad. I had the Cole slaw and collard greens. Everything was delicious. The manager came over to the table and chatted with us. She was very nice and professional. The ambience was great. Overall it's a hidden gem. Loved the entire experience. We will return. read more

Place was packed Saturday at six. Service was outstanding from cashier to delivery of food. Food was excellent. This is the first time I have been here, but I will be returning. Sauces are fantastic, fries are top notch and chicken is fabulous. I love this place. read more

My husband was told that he needed to try this new spot in our area out. So after a few days we decided place a to-go order. We ordered 12 wings, potato wedges and mac & cheese. The order was ready in about 15 minutes, while I was in a hurry to make it home before the rain, I forgot to check my order before pulling off. After getting home I see they've forgotten my mac & cheese. The wings were just plain ole wings and were not tasty at all. The potato wedges were hard, but had a pretty good seasoning on them. Unfortunately, I will not be eating from here again. read more

Been there a couple times now and they haven't disappointed me. Fried chicken is fresh and really tasty and even the Mac and cheese taste really good. Sweet tea is always fresh and the service there is uplifting. Art work in the restaurant is unique in a cartoon character format. read more

I was looking for something different tonight and remembered Waldo recently opened in the neighborhood. I checked out the menu online before arriving and it was a great help. I order the tender combo which came with fries, slaw, and toast. The prices were very reasonable! When I got to the window, I asked the young lady for a recommendation and she told me the biscuits were one of her favorites. I added them to my ticket. In no time, I was handed my food and on my way. The chicken was juicy, tender, and tasty. I had comeback sauce and it's definitely something I will revisit! The fries were overcooked. I ended up throwing half of them away. The biscuit remind of my Jim & Nick, but tasty nonetheless. If chicken is something you want, add this place to the list! read more

Checked this place out while on my lunch break. This was my second time going it was sooo good. The fried chicken is crispy and VERY well seasoned. The fries were amazing! Seasoning is perfect. I got the coleslaw and it was amazing. No heavy dressing just veggies and a light dressing/mayo. Highly recommend this place. Even convinced my coworkers by word of mouth and they agree. Waldo's is good! Services was quick and easy. Order at the counter and wait for them to bring out the food to your number. read more

Stumbled on this place and what a happy accident!! This is going to be one of our new favorite hangouts!! My husband and I both got the "Fowl Mouth" chicken sandwich!! Burned our face off in a great way!! It is fried in habanero oil then tossed in the "comeback" sauce with jalapeño slaw. The owner came up and introduced himself, then really won us over by giving us so homemade banana pudding! It was so delicious that I had to take some to go! The bar inside is the perfect size with about 10 seats. About 8 local beers on tap, plus more in cans to choose from. 2pm-6pm daily, all draft beer is half off!!!!

Today was my first visit to Waldo's and they did not disappoint. Troy took my order and was very helpful and courteous. I tried the Freebird club and Mac cheese. Both were delicious! The sandwich was a little sweet and spicy with chicken tenders and crispy bacon and the Mac and cheese was some of the best I've ever tried. This place will be a regular stop for me. read more

It's my 1st time and really loved the food. It was a reminder of southern favorites. Everyone was very eager to help and explain the menu. The only problem was the people at the bar. Was there around 2:00 on a Wednesday and because the seating area is small, they were really loud. read more

Food was good and fresh. A small wait time but fine for fresh freshness. Price changes need to be updated.

The drive-through is terribly slow. There's one car in front of me and I've been waiting for seven minutes. Just doesn't seem like it pay well oil machine. I'm just part of the restaurant. Normally, they would have people with large orders to move out of the way, so that people who have one item can get through not sure why we're all sitting here in line. I don't think the chicken is worth a 10 minute wait at a drive-through with one car ahead of you . What is the management think about this? She shouldn't be trying to expedite the process here.?? Very sad because I really like this restaurant, but I will never do the drive-through ever again. If this is how we have to wait for food. read more

I had a hankering for some fried chicken and had heard about Waldo's Chicken and Beer which is a small chain which started in Nashville. Hey Siri fingers, fried chicken and rotisserie chicken as well as an assortment of sides. Sharpsburg, GA. Victoria served me as I sat at the bar. I ordered a local brew, which is always a plus. I decided on half a fried chicken and sampled a couple of the sauces. The habanero oil being especially tasty. The size included fresh cut shoestring potatoes and a very tasty tomato cucumber onion salad. A chicken in my opinion was nice, crispy and very moist and tender on the inside The owner Troy introduced himself and gave me a sample of their banana pudding. A southern recipe Just like Mom would make. I definitely recommend this place and if you're in the area would suggest you stop in and pick up a bucket to go or enjoy eating with a good beer. As well, they do have a liquor selection for those who would prefer. I think next time I will try the rotisserie chicken and let you know how that turns out. read more

5 out of 5 for great food, pricing, outstanding customer service, it's not just fried chicken, an asset to our area, and nice tunes playing in the background too I walked in looking a bit feral after some exercise & errands and they treated me like royalty read more

The way we are obsessed with this place and making our way through the menu! Usually sit at the bar, but have gotten takeout as well, and it was very speedy. The chicken has great flavor a little spicy if that's not your thing you can ask for the kids chicken. All of the sides are good. Our favorite is the white beans with onions. The cucumber tomato salad is fresh no matter when you get it, which we were surprised by apparently I could go on and on. Try it :) read more

We just had our 3rd and last meal from Waldo's. The first time was great--tenders were very good, and the thin cut fries were nice and soft and delicious. The second time, the tenders were still good, but the fries were overcooked. Today, suddenly, the tenders were spicy. Not everyone likes spicy food, altho restaurants seems to think we all do. And the fries were cold and hard. We won't be back. read more

The best chicken fingers I've had. Very light crisp flavorful batter. Nice sauces. We also had the banana pudding which was better than our family makes! Very friendly. I can't wait to try onion rings and Mac n cheese. read more

ugh what a bum out. i usually like waldo's but i brought my daughter here for dinner tonight and it was mediocre at best. the sweet tea in the container at the front was sour. so when they asked if i wanted some from another container i said sure, and they never brought it to me. i ordered a half a rotisserie and 2 sides and the the wedges were cold and not flavored. when the lady dropped my food off, she didn't bring the sauces it comes with nor my daughters food. she then proceeded to stand at the counter and chit chat for almost 10 min while my kids food got cold. when i asked to speak to the manager, guess who it was.... gross. i was informed by another employee that she seems to be an ongoing problem. it's a shame bc the owner is pleasant, but we absolutely will not be coming back any time soon. over charged for mediocre cold food and bad service. save your money and go elsewhere. with this kind of quality, that building will be a bank next year read more

My friend and I visited Waldo's today for lunch. Neither one of us had ever been to a Waldo's and we were pleasantly surprised at the menu options. We both had the pulled rotisserie chicken sandwich with the white sauce and a side of coleslaw. Everything was delicious and service was excellent. I would definitely recommend Waldo's! read more

I had previously reviewed this place with a one star because the service was nonexistent. I walked in received zero welcoming and no one helped me after 10 minutes at sitting at the bar on a Sunday. However, the last three or four times I have been it's been excellent. The food is amazing. The prices are right and the staff is very friendly. If you're in Sharpsburg and won chicken, this is the spot. read more

The food was really good. Had the og chicken sandwich and onion rings. The chicken was hot and juicy.

Food and service were amazing!! Best fried chicken I've had in a while and also highly recommend the collards, Mac, and banana pudding.

The chicken was juicy and tender. Order it home style if you don't like it spicy. I loved the fries and the veggies were really good too. I have to say the service was above and beyond. We were checked on often and they couldn't have been more helpful or nice. As for the ambiance it was diner style with a bar ion the side. read more

The food here was so good and fresh and the dips were fantastic! I want to go back asap to try some of the other food here. The chicken sandwich was awesome. The decor and inside sitting area is also spacious and there's is a bar asc well. The service was great. read more

Fantastic! But, if you're going to try to run a fried chicken business in Chick-fil-a's backyard, you better be fantastic. They had a cool vibe and were very friendly and provided fast service. The price was on point and now that they've set the bar, let's see if they can maintain it. read more

I was doing a drive through to order and pick up food from my grandson and his family, and all went as expected. The order was accurate. The service was great, and from what I understand, the food was perfect! read more

Can't put my finger on why we enjoy this place so much, but we do. It's like a fast food place married a bar. The decor is cool, they play great music, and the food is good! We usually get the plates. 6 tenders with 2 sides and biscuit was about $15. 1/4 rotisserie w 2 sides and biscuit was $10. Some may think the portion of chicken is a little small but the sides are a good size and I think makes it a fair price. And it tastes great. They have a happy hours and a deal day for kids. read more

We have been to Waldo's 3 or 4 times in the last month or so. Each time the food is great! It's always cooked well and has been cooked perfectly. The service rivals that of a good sit down restaurant as someone very nice, as well as a manager stops by a few times and asks if all is well and if they can help us at all. I enjoy looking at all the pictures around on the walls and there are TVs going but not blaring. Nice relaxing atmosphere and an overall enjoyable experience each time we go! read more

Excellent food both times. Service, this place seems like a social gathering of workers. The employees are distracted by their telephones. Checking their phones, responding to texts, watching videos...and of course, cross contamination. Bartender the first time, awesome. Came in yesterday, and the bartender seemed kind...and then, disappeared. My friend and I ordered a drink and an appetizer and then the bartender was simply gone. We asked to pay our bill, declined wanting to order more food, left. I'm going to wait a while before coming again. I know every new place goes through its growth phase. The checking of their personal cell phones is a gross habit and I'm shocked that management doesn't throw the hammer down on this one. However, maybe a few people getting sick, some good Servsafe training, and consistency may rid this establishment of this gross, dangerous habit. I'd love to be able to revise my review in the future. I'll wait some months and give it another go, as the food was quite good. Shame to see a potentially good thing get muddled with carelessness. A rating of 1, as safety is not a priority read more

We really wanted to like this place but it's just ok. We walked in and saw dirty plates left on tables, no one takes orders, and it just felt a bit chaotic. I ordered an entree salad and my husband got the fingers and two sides. The salad dressing was watered down so much that it was almost tasteless. The salad itself was nothing special and I wouldn't order it again. My husband said the fingers were ok, not great. I'm definitely not going back for mediocre food and dirty tables. Meh. read more

We went to Waldo's on my birthday - myself, wife and two adult daughters. I checked the web-site and set expectations accordingly. It's in the old KFC building so you get an idea of the size and seating inside. We ordered the fried chicken platters, sides, onion rings, banana pudding, a beer and a few of the frozen waldoritas. The mac and cheese was excellent - rich and just the right texture. Collard greens were perfect. The chicken was very good - crispy but not loaded with breading or flour. Not sitting in a warmer under a lamp, the chicken was juicy, piping hot and the accompanying sauces were tasty. Decent selection of beers - I will be sitting at the bar with wings and a cold Chance IPA on my next visit. The staff were very friendly and organized - service = excellent. I'm as excited about this place as anywhere local I've eaten lately because it's great southern food, good beer and nice people. What more do you really need? read more

Where is Waldo? He is right here in Sharpsburg, serving up dang good chicken. First thought - another chicken place in Coweta? Second thought - located in the shell of the old lifeless, lackluster KFC? Eye-roll... 2.30-something on a sweltering Southern afternoon, we visited. Natural light flooded the dining space, which was almost to-capacity with patrons. The young woman who took our order at the pay-at-the counter register patiently answered our menu questions, and provided thoughtful suggestions. We both chose the fried tenders (purists - best way to experience the chicken without distraction of bun or mixed greens), mine with the cole slaw and the other with cole slaw, French fries, and Texas toast. Sitting in a corner booth, the kitschy surroundings welcomed us. We sat between Martha and Elvis, with their respective chickens (reimagined on canvas, hanging on adjacent walls). The dining area resonated with lively conversation, and the few bar patrons watched sports on the wall-mounted flat-screens. (Beer and wine offerings - though definitely not the focus.) Our food arrived. Go time. Chicken - perfectly breaded, and the most tender meat. Best chicken tender ever. Cole slaw - crunchy and bright, non-mayo based, though a bit too sweet for my taste. Terry, the owner, stopped at the table to say hello. He inquired about our thoughts on the food and provided insight into the Waldo's story (see website). Yes, fried anything is not the best for us. With all of the current news about seed oils, I searched info about Waldo and his frying methods. Peanut oil? Mystery veg oil? Nope - beef tallow. Chicken - five out of five Cole slaw - four out of five Service - five out of five Overall ambiance - four out of five Most new restaurants in the area are total chaos after opening for months until the dust settles. This is the first time in years that the dust never existed and everything fires on all cylinders. That said, curious to learn if this is because of adrenaline and hype or good management. Time will tell. Looking forward to sampling the rotisserie offerings, as well as the salads and other sides. Not sure if I will be able to visit those other chicken places after this experience. Great work, Waldo. read more

Food was excellent, service was amazing! Owner was awesome and let us try some things we didn't order! He read our minds on what we wanted! It was delicious!!! Will definitely be back!!! read more

Service was amazing, food was perfect, chicken tenders have just the right amount of spiciness, and the environment was amazing! Luke was very helpful, often asking if we needed anything and offering to take our plate when we were done. Great place to come if you're by yourself, with friends, or for the whole family! read more

Chicken tenders were ok nothing special, fries were great. Tried two different sauces but wasn't crazy about either . Bbq sauce was a bit on the spicy side I prefer a sweet sauce. read more

Amazing chicken. Best cold slaw. Best customer service experience. Great addition to the community.
