K'Lynn's Southern & Cajun Fusion is one of those spots that feels like a real find…read more The catfish is the standout. Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and you get a generous portion, which makes the price feel like a steal. My husband's grilled catfish salad was huge and genuinely delicious, not an afterthought like it can be elsewhere. Sides were a bit mixed. The mac and cheese was overdone, but the red beans and rice were excellent, full of flavor and exactly what you want alongside that fish. Only real drawback is the hours. We found ourselves wishing they were open more often because it is the kind of place you want in regular rotation. Overall, great food, strong portions, and real value. We will absolutely be back.

I love Cajun food normally but I'll be honest this really wasn't it…read more The gumbo had a weird pasty chalky taste. It wasn't like a soup how we are used to, it was sort of thick and slimy, the flavor was a little too different. 1 star dish to be honest. We threw it in the trash. The jambalaya was a little better, but it still wasn't great. It actually made it to like a 3.5 star quality dish; it was good enough to eat, so we ate this. The fried oysters were pretty good, especially when dipped in their spicy tartar sauce, 4 stars for this dish. I might actually crave this once in a blue moon. Their Mac and cheese had so much potential. It was thick and creamy how I like it, burned cheese on it was great, they attempted to put som cajun seasoning in it that you can barely taste, but the part that docked them points the most was the Mac was overcooked probably sat on a heat lamp for a very long time. The fries were soggy after only a 5 minute drive. They also use styrofoam, which I personally don't like eating from due to the forever chemicals that leach into the food when it's hot. Also after spending $40 and asking for an extra sauce I got charged a dollar. I mean okay I don't thin the side sauce was worth the dollar but also the sauce that came with it was only filled half way. I mentioned that am still I was charged the buck. The lady up front had an alright demeanor, the lady cooking in the back seemed really sweet and asked me how i found them, had a smile etc. I think they should have someone like that cashiering.

One is the darker bar area but we were seated in a room full of full length windows that opened. I had a flight of their beers and enjoyed them all. For lunch I had their red chile bbq pork sandwich while my wife had the enchiladas. The food is a mix of Southern soul food and New Mexican standards. My wife actually preferred her food here over the well regarded New Mexican restaurant we went the previous day. I really liked my sandwich with its kiss of heat.

WHAT NO RIBS!?!? I'd seen the tv commercials lately about Nexis and boasting about their RIBS so…read morewe came to eat some. But, to our surprise this Nexis does NOT have ribs! Only the other one in the South Valley (where we never go) has them. The tv commercials didn't say that. I did let the servers know this bc I felt it was false advertising. We got a Flight of 4 different beers and "settled" on a fried fish w salad which was ok and their grilled catfish tacos which you had to eat w a fork bc they were too messy to pick up w your fingers.. They tasted ok but the salsa and a pink sauce (?) helped to give them more flavor. The atmosphere was ok and the Friday evening crowd was arriving. We ate inside and our server, Sophia, was very good. It didn't take long to get our dinners except my partner's salad took forever! The salads are included w the meals. My salad was different and good which was a Blackeye pea, corn, & more ingredients. My experience there was disappointing since I wanted ribs and not "soggy" fish tacos. I might go back for the beer only.

Highest praises to Angelica and the team at Palate!!

I try to avoid wheat as my body doesn't do well with it, I was willing to go with the breading on the chicken being wheat but the menu said nothing about being served on flour tortillas and, alas, I dd not discover this until I was safely ensconced back at home. Also, my lemonade was short a good inch from the top when I got it, which kinda felt like a ripoff. Long story short, the tacos were okay but not very spicy, no salsa served with them. If you don't mind flour torts you will most likely enjoy this place.

But the man immediately became aggressive, threatening to have our vehicle towed, even though the lot has multiple businesses. A woman came out to try to calm him down, standing in front of him and telling him to stop. We told her that this was a great way to treat people, especially when the restaurant isn't even open yet. Her response was: "If you come back to a broken window, that's not my fault, asshole." After that, we moved our car. She continued yelling at us as we walked away. This kind of behavior is completely unprofessional & embarrassing from the owners themselves.

The staff seated our group of 11 promptly, took drink orders, brewed fresh iced tea, and made us feel immediately welcome. Reviews on the food from our crew were unanimously positive. I had the chicken fried steak, and without hyperbole I can say that it was the best CFS I've ever eaten: Perfectly tender, delicious, ample portion... others had burgers, meatloaf, chicken salads, and quesadillas. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I visit Philmont at least once per year, and I plan to make the Kit Carson restaurant a frequent stop.

So, I had memories of fried apples, grits w butter & honey, and Hashbrown Caserole. Told Dan, I was…read morecraving Cracker Barrel of old so off we went to Brunch. I ordered a full Southern meal of Catfish, fried apples, grits w butter & honey, and Loaded Hashbrown Caserole (extra cheese & bacon bits). Catfish was okay, a bit dry but not muddy so win. Now with Hashbrown Caserole it used to have bacon bits in it... this was cheese mixed hashbrowns. The extra cheese and bacon bits didn't disappoint and helped it a lot. Apples are definitely out of the can/bag. I understand Mass production and they were okay. Grits were done right. I usually have to ask 2 or 3 times for honey when I came in in years past... today waitress brought me a whole honey bear. Dan's Southern Fried Chicken was okay. He said they injected it with salt to boost flavor. Salty was the verdict - to the point he was removing the skin to reduce salt intake - and skin on fried chicken is often one of the best parts. Now hostess was a bit short with me. I give it a whatever, not in the mood and a bit grumpy, so it totally could have been me. I give it a pass. Waitress Tasha was on top of it! She was a star of the dining experience today. Tasha was quick to refill, bring us our requests, etc. She was friendly, personable and was attentive. I asked for honey- done, drank tea down to ¼ cup - filled, boxes, to go cups the whole hoopla! Thank you Tasha for great service you made my 2.5 star rating a 3.

I am absolutely done…read more The last three times I've ordered from this location, the food is bland and just horrible. How bad does it get when you can make mashed potatoes taste like someone just boiled a potato and tossed it on a plate? Gravy? Again, there are seasonings that go into it. Salt and pepper are the first two. And then, the chicken and dumplings that I got tonight. Not only was there nothing but a few literal shreds of chicken, but someone scraped the bottom of the pot. There were scorched bits all through the serving I got. Two suggestions: One, send your kitchen manager out east, somewhere like Georgia that knows what food tastes like. Let them learn from a shop there, and then come back and teach the rest. Two, Just a suggestion, but *maybe* try enforcing standards in your kitchen instead of allowing this slop to ever get near a plate? Pretty sad when you lost a customer, and that customer was someone who has looked forward to Cracker Barrel since *early* childhood and on many road trips. I'll still go to other stores, but I won't be back to the one here in Albuquerque.

When Biscuit Boy is…read morein full effect and not under Covid restrictions, he makes some FABULOUS biscuit sandwiches at the Rail Yards. Ugh! There's this breakfast one on a green chile biscuit (a BEC on a Local) that just keeps me up at night because it's all I want! (...longing looking out the window...) These biscuits are huge in size and just overall the most buttery and perfect decadent carb. They're a huge hit with the family as well, so I come away from those markets with a batch of six Originals! I do love the instances that I can order ahead on the Rail Yards Market system and do a drive thru pick up when we can't go in person. However, that being said, when you go in person, that's when you can get your hands on some of these delectable biscuit sandwiches! The Southern Belle is another brunch favorite of mine. Fried chicken, fried spiced apples and cheddar sounds like a crazy combo, but it's the combo you never knew you were missing in your life. Get it on a Sunriser (red chile, cherry, pepper jack biscuit) to really spice up your brunch! Oh! And the biscuit and gravy....YAAAASSSS!!!! You get to choose your biscuit and get that ish smothered in a green chile sausage gravy. The best part (and this is hard to come by here in ABQ)? Your biscuit doesn't get soggy under this luscious gravy! No joke! The buttermilk biscuits have such an awesome outer butter crisp to them that they hold up to liquids without disintegrating.

I was disappointed by the menu selections that seemed more attractive in theory than in reality. Anyway, despite the long wait, we finally got seated and ordered the famous chocolate cake slide that my best friend swears is the best thing ever. Turns out, he wasn't kidding--the cake is incredibly creamy and rich, and the ice cream makes it the perfect combination of flavors dancing in your mouth. The fried apple pie is a must-try. The Santa Fe spinach dip was my favorite appetizer--it's definitely one of the best dips I've had in a while. Rich in creaminess and cheesiness. As for the entrees, options are limited. We chose the buffalo chicken wraps and the homestyle meatloaf, since they sounded appetizing. Let's just say, while the desserts are top-tier, the rest of the food felt like comforting home-cooked dishes--nothing special that couldn't easily be made at home or ordered elsewhere without the wait. Our waitress was fantastic and made the wait worthwhile with her cheerful attitude and positivity (Brenda). The place overall gave off a cozy, homey vibe. It was clean, and they even have restrooms on-site.
