Waldo’s at the Driftwood

New year’s eve supper. Awesome. Live band and atmosphere is superb. Had the shrimp trio, awesome. Had a bucket of rum… yum!!! Works definitely recommend this place.

Perfect beachside eating! The tables are right on the beach with access to the sand and water. You can eat inside or outside, and we always choose outside! On sunny days, there are umbrellas over the tables for shade. The service is quick and friendly. The seafood is fresh and delicious. My blackened shrimp quesadilla was full of cheese, jalapeños, and tomatoes, and the shell was crisp and tasty. My wife’s Traveler’s Shrimp Basket offered a good variety and the Monterey Jack stuffed shrimp were absolutely to die for! We shared a sampler basket to start, and the coconut shrimp were nice and sweet, the oysters were big and creamy, and the conch fritters were meaty and spicy! The dipping sauces were all exceptional. My Bloody Mary was refreshing and crisp, and her banana chocolate frozen daiquiri was absolutely the best I’ve ever had! We will be back!

We dined on a Sunday afternoon around 2pm. There was a band playing inside the restaurant. We chose to sit oceanside, and what a view! Our party of 3 ordered two appetizers, conch fritters, and fried dolphin fingers. Both were delicious and perfectly cooked. For my main entrée, I ordered the backyard burger and added blue cheese, mushrooms, and bacon with a side of pasta salad. The burger was amazing, loved it!!!
Next time, I am going to try their taco salad.
The downside to our visit was our server. She was very unpleasant and impatient.
Overall, a wonderful dining experience, unique to Vero Beach, and rich in history makes this a must try!

If you are looking for a chill ambience, beachside seating, then look no further .
Put on ur bathing suit, and grab a nice cold beer. (Shirt is optional)
Was that for a late lunch, and mainly ordered apps and beers
The fish dip was amazing
The seafood sampler was good, did not like the fried oysters, but the coconut shrimp was amazing !!
The conch fritters were very delicious, and my all time favorite were the Mahi fingers !! Very fresh !
The service was a little slow, they were understaffed and a lot of costumers.

Margarita was good but not great. My IPA was typical for the region, rather bland.
I ordered a daily special the poor boy cagan oyster sandwich. My date had the Caribbean crab cake sandwich.
Service was excellent and attentive.
My bread was a touch day — old in the texture and flavor. Oysters were cooked to perfection, a thick crunchy breading outside, and soft juicy insides. The cagan spices were very flavorful with just a hint of heat, and nicely balanced with the tomatoe slices and chopped lettuce.
The crab cake was perhaps a bit under cooked because it was mushy inside.
Overall not bad at all, but not super. Would we return, the answer is yes.

Came here off the beach for lunch today. We sat inside to keep cool while we ate. I had a cheeseburger which was huge, and served with some delicious seasoned fries. The waitress Heidi was kind enough to accommodate my request for an iced coffee to go which I appreciated.

You cannot beat Waldo’s for ambience, if you sit outside. Oceanside and poolside seating offer great views. Strangely, it stinks inside.
We had two salads: the chicken salad salad, and the Hawaiian salad. The chicken salad was very good. The Hawaiian salad lacked a substantial amount of shrimp and scallops which were very small, and the dressing wasn’t very good.
We had one drink, a rum-​runner, which had the distinctive taste of a pre-​mixed beverage.
Like any tourist trap, you go for the destination.

Our server, Courtney, was most pleasant and deserves accommodation. She made a special effort to make a fruit plate just for us. In addition, she added more alcohol to our beverages.
Although we didn’t dine, the menu items looked huge and tasty.

Very nice place to eat lunch at the beach!
I went there twice on my holiday and it was worth it both times.
The first time I ate Quesadilla it was very nice, the secont time I ate the Nachos and the chicken wings. The Quesadilla were better than the other but it was really nice both times.
