Reviews Summary
Diners often praise the Little Waldorf Saloon for its good food, ample portions, and perfectly cooked burgers. The eclectic Western decor and comfortable outdoor seating also contribute to a positive experience.

"We had our son’s graduation party here. I worked with Danielle on the reservations and catering menu. She was really nice, super responsive and explained everything. Addi was our server for the night. Let me tell you…she kicked a! Running non stop, kept separate tabs for everyone, constantly checking on us to make sure all was good. She was a rockstar!! Thank you Addi! You were a big part of what was a really fun celebration!"

"The food and the service were quick, and my burger came out the way I asked. Has a lot of strange decor in this place probably could use some wiping off a lot of dust and cob webs floating around our table from all the hanging decor. Might wanna clean it up a bit. Overall, the food was good."
