Waldos Restaurant - Vero Beach (FL)

5 /5 Reva Nrwton: Lovely place, beautiful on the water. We had a great waitress and food was amazing. I had chicken salad which tasted awesome. The bar chips on top i could do without. My husband had Mahi tacos and onion rings that tasted great. The bar drinks were good. We will be back.

3 /5 MJ: We visited on a Saturday and it was pretty busy. We sat outside to have a view of the ocean. There was live music and it is loud so be warned if you’re wanting to sit and talk. This was mostly bar type food not real seafood. We were very disappointed. The shrimp was way overcooked and all the seafood was frozen and reheated not fresh like we usually expect when dining on the beach. This is a place to do a lot of drinking then eat because after a few drinks you think the food is good. Way overpriced and a very disappointing meal.

4 /5 Edward Morton: My wife and I went here for a drink and a look around in the afternoon of 17 August, 2025 (a Sunday) while exploring downtown Vero Beach and Ocean Drive. Id read about this place and it looked like it was a neat looking old dive bar. It sort of is a dive bar (appearance wise), but its very nice and clean inside with a friendly staff and mostly a local crowd. The afternoon we were there, a local band of senior citizen musicians was playing by the pool out behind the bar, and they were rocking tunes from the 60s through the 80s, so we were in the perfect age group for their play list. The inside bar is rustic looking, but it was a hot day and we werent wearing swimsuits, so we just stayed inside at barstools, had a few drinks and just looked out the open window behind the bar and people watched. It seemed like most of the people in the pool were locals in the 50s to 70s, or people from the local area who came over to spend the weekend at the Driftwood Resort on the beach, which this bar is located inside of. I really liked this place, and would love to come back here during the cooler months. The location is dead smack in the middle of the heart of downtown Vero Beach and walking distance to several free parking areas.

5 /5 Scott: On the main Drag of Vero is Ocean Ave, here youll find good breakfast lunch and dinner dining. Behind the historic Driftwood Resort, you have Waldos Restaurant. The Driftwood is a beautifully rustic resort. Some say its even haunted (an awesome reason to book 1 or multiple rooms). As soon as you you walk, its like going into an old port after youve been at sea for weeks. You are seated either outside or in (Youre choice), the outside has a pool,beach access, 2 bars, lounge chairs etc. We heard a great local country/western band last night. As youll see the pics and video I post of all they offer. The service staff are wonderful, very attentive and have knowledge of the over 100 year old history. They have anything for everyone. Try their Cordon Bleu sandwich, its incredible. Please look at my pics and videos and have many a stay. Tell them large Marge sent ya. Trust me, youll love it and want to come back especially for your souvenir cups.

5 /5 Scott Laidlaw: This is one of our favorite restaurants in Vero Beach; very laid-back and always a fun experience. The waiters/servers are all very professional, easy to talk to and attentive. The food is excellent; a great selection. Their key lime pie as a desert was very good. If you have a chance, please eat at this restaurant; you will not be disappointed.
