When I lived in LA for a few years, this was the go-to spot. Super happy to say that our ABQ…read morelocation is just as good as the original (minus the lines!). The food here is great and some of the crispiest hot chicken around, and the city I'd argue. If you like dry rub spice this is the place for you! You won't find your hot chicken dripping oil like other places. The fries are not something to write home about, but they never were even in LA lol maybe just a personal pref but crinkle cut fries always taste frozen to me. They do spice and season them well here! This location always has kind people FOH-- Shoutout to Martín and Ana!!! -- and my order is always right. So thank you to BOH as well. Kudos to this location's entire crew. Happy to have a Daves in NM. 10/10

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.

We went with the mild sandwiches because you never know. They truly were mild and, for my taste, were about the spice level as a normal chick-fil-a sandwich. When we go back will def bump up the spice level, it's always nice to have a baseline. If you are scared of this place cause of the 'hot' chicken and you can't do spicy just get a mild it's not hot at all. Sandwich was great, chicken was tender, tasty, and sadly (this might be a me thing) not enough pickles. I will order extra pickles next time. You order at the counter and the seating is kind of sparse but food comes out quickly enough and people don't seem to linger long. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Today was the first time I tried out this place. I ordered 2 chicken sandwiches, some fries and the…read moremac and cheese. I feel like if the owner was there managing the production, it would have been much better. I liked the fries the most, but, they also tasted sweet. I got the Nashville fries, not the sweet potato fries. With that being said, I did get 1 sweet potato fry in the bunch. My fries tastes somewhat sweet, which I didn't mind, but also figured they were tossed with the sweet potatoes. Maybe the oil wasn't changed? Not sure. I also ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. It has potential. The chicken was old. You could tell it was old and not fresh like they advertise on their website. The taste was good, the chicken was old. The bun should also be toasted. It wasn't. Bun right out of the bag from your local grocer. Lastly the mac and cheese. I personally thought it was watered down, but my wife enjoyed the mac and cheese. I would have liked a thicker sauce. Overall: Would only come back after trying several competitors that make a more enjoyable meal. This place has potential but I'm not willing to spend my hard earned money on something that "could be" better. Good luck.

This location is located in a food hall with other restaurants. There was plenty of seating available and not too loud. I got a 3 piece chicken tender with plain boring fries (that's what they call them!). The fries were very well seasoned. For their chicken they have 5 different levels of spice. I got the 2nd hottest which is Extra Hot. I sniffled the whole time while eating but it was manageable. I love spicy food and have a high tolerance for it. If you can't handle spice, I'd suggest a lower level. Everything was good and would easily try them again!

I didn't think I'd get through all the chicken, but it was so delicious and fresh, it was the first to go. The chicken fingers are more meat than breading, which was a wonderful surprise as I'm always struggling to get protein. The sides were pretty good. My co-worker raved about the bread and I would agree. Spectacular. This location is clean and modern. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I mentioned I had never eaten Caine's and he ran through the menu for me highlighting the differences in options. The General Manager heard me say I had never eaten here and he came to check on my experience after I had utterly demolished 4 chicken fingers. We chatted a bit and I'm always so grateful when people that work for a company REALLY believe in it. Wonderful location, great chicken.
