Waldo’s Chicken & Beer is a fast-casual restaurant brand built around one simple idea: great fried chicken paired with great beer. The concept focuses on hand-breaded fried chicken, Southern comfort sides, and a curated selection of local and regional craft beers, creating a relaxed place where guests can enjoy classic comfort food with a modern twist.

The menu centers on crispy fried chicken tenders, sandwiches, and baskets, served alongside traditional sides such as mac and cheese, fries, slaw, and other Southern favorites. Waldo’s is known for its scratch-made recipes, high-quality ingredients, and approachable atmosphere, combining the feel of a neighborhood chicken joint with a craft-beer bar.

The brand was created by Mark Waldo in Nashville, TN. The first location in Arkansas opened in North Little Rock, Arkansas in 2020, and the brand has since expanded to multiple locations across Arkansas. The Breckenridge Village location was opened in 2023 and quickly became a favorite watering hole and dining location for locals.

One unique aspect of this Waldo’s is its emphasis on games for the whole family including pool, shuffle board, and Golden Tee. It’s the perfect place to take in a game or eat with your family.
