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.

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.

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 appetizers were salad fresh, fried vegetables and pork belly with five different delicious sauce with Kimchi. The main Entré dish with duck, short ribs and Barramundi with protein were fantastic. The sorbet and house ice cream topped the palate with generous cappuccino. I'm strongly recommending this unique and healthy restaurant for all of my four regular Mukbang fans.

We ordered baked beans..horrible, potato salad from Costco, and corn on the cob that was fresh tasting, but hard as a rock. I ordered it with butter, but it didn't have any, and it wasn't salted. As we entered the restaurant a security guard held the door for us. My husband asked him if the food was good. He just shrugged his shoulders and had a smile on his face. My husband then asked if the area was safe & he stumbled for words. He then told us it was a pretty "busy area" with gangs & the homeless. Rudy's was a waste of our time & money, and worst of all we were sick through the night.

I was really happy to see that the menu clearly marked the gluten-free options. I originally decided on the chilaquiles since they were labeled gluten-free, but I asked to confirm that the chips weren't fried in a shared fryer. Unfortunately, the girl taking our order said they were, so I switched to the huevos rancheros. She wrote on the ticket that it was a gluten allergy so they would take extra precautions and prepare everything separately, which I really appreciated. My husband ordered the duck hash and said it was absolutely delicious! My son and his girlfriend got a burger and a Cubano sandwich, and they said both were amazing, they especially loved the French fries! My daughter ordered the Americano with a gluten-free waffle and loved it. My huevos rancheros were just okay, I wasn't too impressed. Definitely something I would not get again. Overall, my family really enjoyed their meals, and the food came out fairly quickly considering how busy it was.

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.

My son and I loved the scallops, most of us were turned off by the shrimp not being deveined before cooking and the crab was just not worth the work. The service for that visit was impressive, which really made the meal. 4 stars Last week, my son and I returned for another run at just scallops, calamari again, and Cajun fries. The restaurant was busier this time, but not packed and there was still no waiting, but the service was far less than what we had just a couple weeks earlier. The food was good, not great, again. At this price point, I expect better, and the difference in service showed me how much that can make the meal. This visit 2 stars.
