Waldo’s Chicken & Beer Opens in NLR

You had us at “Southern fried and fire-roasted.”

Waldo’s Chicken & Beer officially opens today at 4221 Warden Road in North Little Rock in the former Carino’s space.

The fast-casual menu is packed with can’t-miss hits featuring your choice of fried or roasted chicken. Expect fresh takes on wings, tenders, sandwiches and salads, plus eight different house sauces, classic Southern sides and their signature cheese biscuits. The lineup also includes a mix of local, regional and imported beers both in cans and on tap.

The Waldo’s interior offers space for up to 70 diners, as well as a 650-square-foot patio, a full-service bar, lots of TVs and dual drive-thru lanes.
