    A large order of hot wings (18-20)
    Howie K.

    Attention to detail, man. I was just so psyched to use that $25 Uber Eats credit, I didn't look close at who I was ordering from. I had assumed I was getting a pile of wings, mac & cheese and fries from a locally beloved spot: Chile Chicken. Little did I know I'd been duped. Instead, it was my first experience with a delivery-only, virtual franchise that must've recently popped up, because I'm the First to Review the Nashville Hot Chicken Shack in Albuquerque. According to the website there are 30+ Shacks across the country, and I'm guessing the description of the original -- in downtown Nashville -- is a tad out-of-Covid-date: "We are located on the rooftop of the Lucky Bastard Saloon in the middle of Broadway Street where great food feeds the soul, drinks are ever flowing, and the music is always on!" I'm also betting the pandemic presented the perfect opportunity for this food delivery only model to expand, pronto. The Nashville hot chicken trend has evidently landed in the 505. So how was the food? Eh. I'll note that I ate all of the wings, they weren't overly-fried nor rubbery, a little bigger than standard issue, the sauce was adventurous enough, but too sweet and not up to New Mexico's "hot" standards. They arrived quickly and the food was plenty warm. Don't get the mac 'n cheese or the crinkle fries. Pay attention to details.

    Easily the saddest meal ever. There was literally nothing redeeming about the "chicken tenders" or the "coleslaw" or the "fries". This was my second order because I believe in second chances, it was even worse than the first time.

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.

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.

    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.

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.
