    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.

    We finally checked Frank's Famous Chicken & Waffles as part of our quest for good breakfast places…read more(with good AC for this hot summer). The ambiance is clearly musical with not only nice tunes but music icons on their walls. The good side of the south was clearly thriving here! They had quite the amount of patrons so it took a little while. All staff were very nice, friendly, and helpful. We both ordered a mason jar of the regular iced tea and the 2 Tender Famous and replaced the regular waffle with the Pecan & Bacon Waffle. The chicken tenders were on the small side. However, the flavor was great! I am unsure what seasoning they use or what they put on the batter, but it was quite delicious on its own. The waffles had a good amount of caramel sauce, pecans, and bacon. Both the pecans and bacon were crunchy, giving it a very satisfying texture to the meal. Both elements were great together as well, with a lot of sweet and a bit of savory. If I were to change something it would be a thicker waffle and bigger tenders, but I know that may increase the cost of the dish. Also, a spicy option would be nice with either a special buffalo sauce or green chile (since it's a staple here). Overall, I am glad we finally made it to this place as we had a good experience and good food. There are many other items I would be ready to try the next time we are here.

    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.

    Had a celebratory birthday dinner for a friend here at Farm and Table last night…read more It was a wonderfully delicious evening! Service was so invitingly friendly and efficient. By mistake, we got there 30 minutes early but were able to order a drink and walk the property along garden paths and discovered they had garden rooms that you could reserve for large parties. After we were sat with the other guests and the guest of honor, our awesome waiter explained how their food was sourced and a bit of history of the place for our friends that weren't familiar with the restaurant. There were vegetarians and a vegan diners amongst us so he explained all his favorite vegetarian dinners and also how they could alter the meal to make it vegan. EVERYONE was happy with their meals. My entree was their Mongolian Beef prepared and served in an extremely creative presentation which was absolutely delicious! Others had: mezze platters with and without the lamb, the Cavatelli pasta dish, shishito pepper appetizer, All quite delicious! Amongst the desserts ordered I had the basil, blackberry sorbet (if I recall correctly) which was refreshingly tasty! The whole evening was wonderful! The food! The company! But special kudos and thanks to the restaurant and staff at Farm and Table for helping make it a very memorable evening!

The weather permitted use to sit outside in the comforting blanket of mild sun shine. Service was slow and it took some time for someone to initially come to our table. I heard a few tables being offered to tour the area where some of the plants were being grown which was nice. That option was not extended to our table. The menu had a few vegetarian options that looked promising. I ordered barramundi and my wife ordered cavatelli which is a type of pasta. Complementary bread was brought out that tasted good but had too much salt on the crust. I didn't know but eventually found out that barramundi is a type of Asian sea bass. It was plated with a good amount of vegetables, but I found it to be bot a flavorful as I would have liked. I tasted the cavatelli and was not impressed either by the flavors. The drink section of the menu is a little confusing and we ended up with a grapefruit rosemary kombucha. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing but I think the entrees were a bit over priced for what we received.

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.

The kids are happy, I'm happy, and honestly, that's a successful breakfast in my book. The only downside is the limited seating. It's a smaller location, so it can fill up quickly, especially during the breakfast rush. If you happen to come during a really busy time, you may have to wait a bit to find a table. That said, I don't think it takes away from the experience you just have to time it right. We usually come for breakfast since they're open for breakfast and lunch, and this time I tried the Grande burrito. And let me tell you, "Grande" is not an exaggeration. That is a LOT of food. I got the bacon-smothered burrito with red chile, and it was delicious. Unfortunately, I could not finish it. I do wish there was something between the Grande and Junior because the Grande is a serious commitment, and I'm not sure the Junior would be enough. I'll have to try it next time and find out. My daughter ordered the steak sandwich, which comes with an Angus sirloin steak on Texas toast. It looked a little wild when it came out, but she ate it and said it was delicious, so apparently the presentation was just part of the experience. My son got the sausage, egg and cheese biscuits. He ate the whole thing, so clearly he approved. His only complaint was that the biscuit kept falling apart, but considering he's a little kid, I'm going to blame that one on the user rather than the biscuit. The staff has always been friendly during our visits. On this particular morning, a gentleman came around several times to refill our house coffee, which I always appreciate. Good service and a full coffee cup go a long way. And if you're into pastries and coffee, they have plenty of options. I've tried their blueberry muffin, and it is divine. They also have different baked scones, and I've had their lattes and macchiatos, which have all been really good. I still need to come back during the lunch hours because there are several things I want to try. The hot beef sundae caught my attention, and the Philly also looked really good. There are so many different options that I feel like I could keep coming back and ordering something different every time. This is definitely the kind of place where you can stop in, grab something really good, enjoy a little coffee, and get on with your morning. It's casual, welcoming, and consistently good. Limited seating is really my only complaint. Otherwise, I've been here multiple times and have yet to leave disappointed. Definitely a must-try!

If parking fills up, they have an additional lot just east of the property! Albuquerque hospitality mixed with old town charm, stop in, get fed, and support local!
