I recently had the pleasure of dining at Frank's Chicken and Waffle in Albuquerque, NM, and it was…read morenothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly set the stage for what would be an unforgettable meal. The rustic charm of the decor, combined with the lively buzz of happy diners, made it feel like a home away from home. I started with the Shrimp and Grits, and let me tell you, it was a revelation. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, plump, and juicy, seasoned to perfection with a subtle kick that danced on my taste buds. The grits were creamy and rich, with just the right amount of buttery goodness, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that left me wanting more. Next up was the Fried Chicken and Waffle Jr. Plate, a true masterpiece. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, seasoned with a secret blend of spices that elevated it to new heights. The waffle was fluffy and golden, a perfect vessel for soaking up every drop of syrup. While I do wish they used Vermont maple syrup grade A, it was by no means a flaw, it only added to the charm of the dish. The Sweet Tea was the perfect accompaniment to my meal. It was refreshingly sweet, with a hint of lemon that brightened each sip and left a lingering taste of summer. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made sure every need was met with a smile. Their genuine hospitality added to the overall experience, making me feel like a valued guest. Frank's Chicken and Waffle is a culinary gem in Albuquerque, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by for a meal that will delight your senses and warm your soul.

Came in for a late lunch early dinner and the place was busy!!…read more Got the 6 wings and 2 waffles which were really good and just a ton of food. Washed it down with a kool aid which brought back to the good ole days! The food was good and all but the staff and vibeof the restaurant was what really did it for me. Super friendly staff and just a really fun environment. I'll be back.

This out of the way brewery serves some solid food to accompany their solid beer offerings…read more There are two wings to the building. 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.

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.

Sadly this establishment is no longer at the listed address. And there is no listing for Laurice's…read morein either the whit or yellow pages of the phone books. We circled the block twice in hopes we missed it. We parked and walked to the address. Nothing, nada. Too bad.

Everyone should give them a try,it's a cute little place with great service, you will not be disappointed!

I came in for the lobster roll. My order came with seasoned fries…read more Portions we perfect. Everything tasted great, and everything was clean and staff was very polite. My only "but" is this is a fast food environment- order at a counter,then get your own drink, sit down, they bring it to you. I tipped for this not knowing how it worked-- I personally do not feel this is a tip worthy service. Now, I know I ordered lobster and market price isn't cheap, but my bill was still over $45-- if I had thought more with my head and not my stomach, I would have went elsewhere and had a true sit down meal. That said, the lobster meat was very big, and if excellent quality. I just took 1 star off because for fast food, this was very pricey-- again, I have detailed my own errors.

We haven't been here (and lived here 6 years) first timers and it is awesome!! I got the fish and…read morechips my wife got the lobster roll. Both tasted so good!! Cool little spot.
