I have driven past Waldo for years and years on 23, and have never had occasion to stop. So when a business meeting in Delaware was breaking up and someone mentioned G&R - I was up for the trip. I’ve always heard about the fried bologna sandwich and the pies. I like both, and I was up for the adventure. Also, I am a big fan of this type of establishment as well. So it is with great disappointment that I write this particular review.

First I need to point out that this is a cash only place, and I made a special stop at the ATM so I was prepared. It was a busy lunch crowd and we were to be seated by the staff. We did not pick the table, nor could we have guessed the amount of discomfort we would experience when the place a 3-top next to us that cut into the route to additional tables and the restroom. We had other patrons and waitstaff constantly brushing by with guts and butts dragging on our table. One surly server acted like it was our fault that it was difficult to get thru, and I was ready to leave by the time our food arrived. If the staff knows the flow of the floor space they should have done better placement of the adjoining tables.

My sandwich as fine. Not up to the hype, but good. The butterscotch pie however was an abomination. I took two bites. I offered tablemates bites to confirm I wasn’t crazy. I left 3/4 of a piece of pie uneaten. And I never pass up a dessert. The texture was extremely off-putting. The flavor was not good. And it was an odd color for butterscotch. Had I seen the state of the pie I would have ordered something else. That pie should not be offered. I have since learned that it is not the same pies of the acclaim. That pie maker/baker is no longer there.

I guess I should have made time to stop by years ago.
