    Chicken and waffle
    Sue K.

    Waffles were delicious. Kind service. Interesting combo of food and waffles. Very tasty

    Kirstin B.

    I can't say I'm thrilled with the waffles. And considering the whole theme of this place is waffles...maybe the waffles shouldn't be hard on the bottom? Or that it's a decent proportion to the price? I don't know. My favorite part was the strawberries. Can't recommend at this time.

    Something for everyone: sweet, savory, custom made so your dreams can come true in waffle bliss. They had add ons, special sauces and friendly people behind the counter. I throughly enjoyed my waffle here. I tried the special at the time made with local chilies and eggs. My friend had a sweeter one. Lovely spot.

    Great trendy food court with a host of different selection of vendors. I decided on the When chicken met waffle with xo syrup. Plenty of seating in the area. There are shared tables, bar seating and separate tables. Everything is made to order so there was a slight wait. The wait was well worth it. Excellent flavor combo. The chicken had a tang to it and the waffle was sweet. Yum! There were 3 breast of chicken pieces cooked perfectly. Loved my meal.

    The inside. Buttery and flaky dough, almost like a croissant.

    I had the Koi No Yoken, with the egg done over medium and the white gravy. It was absolutely delicious. The waffle isn't made of normal waffle batter; it's like a croissant inside almost. Very flaky and savory. The gravy was good and it didn't come soaked in it so the balance was very well done. It was my first savory waffle and I get why they're a thing. It's a pricey waffle but it came with fresh avocado and it's a small business so I don't mind paying a bit more to support local.

    I don't usually give a 1 star review, but sorry to say that this place truly and completely, utterly disappointed me today. When you have Waffle in the name of your store, you better deliver a fresh waffle. Clearly, the waffle is frozen, doughy and dry, inedible. The chicken is not fried chicken, but frozen chicken that is rubbery and chewy. The spicy maple syrup leaves much to be desired. At this price point, this was an utter disappointment. This store is located in an excellent location, the food does not deliver.

    When Chicken Met Waffle

    I've been to XO waffle a couple of times, and have had the Waffle of My Life and When Chicken Met Waffle. The first was ok, but I'm not sure I would order it again. When Chicken Met Waffle was quite good and I would recommend it! Located inside Sawmill Market so there's plenty of seating. It took maybe 15 min for the waffle to be ready both times I went which isn't an issue when you're hanging out at Sawmill!

    This was one of the places that I was really looking forward to trying when Sawmill opened up, and I was so sad when they turned around and had to close before I could make it. #ThanksCOVID So, when they reopened for take out, I immediately ordered! And they DID NOT DISAPPOINT. This is waffle heaven. This is waffles done right. None of that too fluffy spongy soggy nonsense happening here. These waffles are perfection - dense but soft, delicate sugar peaking out of every bite. These waffles perfectly compliment their flavors. I mean, who needs a cinnamon roll when you can get a From Churro with Love waffle? No one. You need a waffle. The real winner of our order, though, was the Peaches in the Air. We fought over every bite while we enjoyed this delivery safely in our backyard. Highly recommend! Let's keep these guys going in uncertain times. These are waffles to be treasured.

    This is a cute waffle place inside the sawmill market. I got the strawberry waffle. They were out of whipped cream but they gave me icecream instead and I was not mad about that! Very tasty!

    This is one of many photos I have of this beauty. Fresas Mi Amor.. yummm
    Lorelei P.

    I have visited this place many times inside of Sawmill Market. My family and I are always excited to enjoy one of their delectable waffle desserts. The staff is always so courteous and cheerful. We usually devour the Fresas Mi Amor, which is strawberries and whipped cream. Or the From Churro with Love, that has cinnamon sugar, caramel and chocolate chipotle cream. Yum, just talking about it right now makes me want to go out and get some! My family and I always get these flavors but I am pretty sure that if these dessert waffles are scrumptious then so are the other flavors. I definitely recommend this place, whether it's for dessert or for a meal you definitely will not be disappointed.

    The location is very interesting, inside this huge food court kinda thing. Lot of seating. Went in around 1030 and and one staff, super slow service as he was trying to take orders and prepare it as well. Food was good, bit on the pricier side.

    Nicole A.

    I went to Plata coffee for a iced latte and decided this morning that I was in the mood for waffles after glancing at the menu at XO waffle. The menu is exquisite! There are so many creative ways that this restaurant has created their menu and even if you're not in the mood for "waffles" per say, there are saltier options that don't even seem like typical waffles. I ordered the "Fresas, mi amor" and it was delicious. The waffle itself was cooked to perfection and the strawberries and cream were a sweet addition that was not TOO sweet. My only issue with this restaurant are the prices and the wait time. It is quite expensive for one waffle and I ended up waiting nearly 20 minutes for the waffle. While I do understand that they have a lot of orders, it also was a little frustrating because I had not planned to spend such a long time waiting. Overall, it was very good. I likely will return if I have a craving for waffles!!

    I'm bananas for you
    Dianne S.

    I thought their waffles were delicious and flavorful. If you're on the hunt for waffles that truly tantalize your taste buds, look no further than do waffle. From the first bite to the last, their waffles deliver an explosion of flavors that will leave you craving more.

    What are the red and white xo sauces?

    Both are Béchamel sauces, which is a classic French base sauce often referred to as “white sauce”. Think of a lighter milky gravy with some spices to give it a delish taste. The Red XO just adds chipotle to the Béchamel sauce for a little spicy…

    Before visiting, I called with a question about the restaurant's name change. The person who…read moreanswered was incredibly helpful and patiently explained that only the name had changed, which I appreciated. For our meal, we ordered two Chicken & Waffles plates, a Blue Corn Lavender Waffle, and a kids' plate. The Chicken & Waffles were the highlight of the meal, offering a satisfying balance of sweet and savory flavors. The Blue Corn Lavender Waffle was a unique touch and a fun way to try something distinctly New Mexican. Neither my wife nor I cared for the drip coffee, so we asked a staff member if we could swap it out for double espressos. They were happy to accommodate us, and the espresso was a significant improvement. The service was friendly, and the staff made a positive first impression from the phone call all the way through our visit. For our family, the total came to about $80, which felt a little steep. We ended up eating inside since the patio tables were either occupied or unavailable (due to a sleeping homeless person). The restaurant is housed in a renovated older home, and they've done a nice job making the most of the space. One of my favorite touches was the collection of retro waffle makers displayed along the walls, which added a fun, nostalgic charm to the atmosphere. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'd happily return to explore more of the menu.

I had to pick between savory and sweet, and the menu is huge with lots of options plus build your own! I went for savory and got it with goat cheese and spinach (built my own). It was delightful. The blue corn is just a tinge sweet so was an interesting mix. The waffle is a decent size but is super filling and dense. I'll have to try some sweet waffles or some different waffle bases next time! That said there are lots of gluten free options as well, so if that's for you, then don't hesitate to come check it out you won't be disappointed. There is indoor and outdoor seating, though in general the place is small-ish and can get crowded during busy times. Parking is also a bit of an adventure, but so is anywhere in that area. The staff is super friendly as well. All in all a great experience and I will be back. I can't believe it took me so long to get here in the first place!

The taste was good but still disappointing. The potatoes were excellent. Well seasoned with crispy bits. The egg was perfect for us. Over easy order=whites solid with runny yolk. The egg was so good I ate most of it before I remembered to take a picture. The food I'd give 3.5 stars but the service pulled my rating up to 4. We do plan on returning for their amazing looking pancakes, waffle plates and or French toast. When we left the restaurant at 10:10 AM the waitlist had started. All benches by the entrance were full. A very popular restaurant!

I went for breakfast and was seated immediately. Very comfortable decor. Menu offered lots of breakfast choices and I opted for steak and eggs. The steak was cooked, medium rare as I had requested, and was tender and a good portion size. The potatoes were crispy with a nice soft creamy interior. Eggs were scrambled and were a little bit firm, but they were still good. I had a nice glass of orange juice. Prices are excellent. I consider this a good find.

Well, the food was once again AMAZING, but our server was horrible!! He spent the whole time he was supposed to be waiting on tables on his phone texting and ignoring the patrons. We did manage to get his attention ONCE to request a change in my drink, but we never received a refill. When he brought the check it took forever to get his attention to pay the bill and when he brought it back he rudely threw it on the table and walked away. His lack of service was appalling after my first visit. Will I go back to The Daily Grind, yes. Yet I will not permit him to wait on my table again. Now, let me tell you what we had for lunch which was so good! My friend had their Mushroom and Swiss Burger with green chile added with a side of fries. The burger was cooked to a medium, as requested, and was juicy. The fries were cooked nice and crispy. My friend said he would order it again. I had the light lunch, 1/2 a curry chicken salad sandwich with 1/2 an Asian salad. My goodness, both were tasty!!

I ordered an Iced Americano, and it was solid. You can tell they use quality espresso, but I personally would have liked it just a bit stronger. Next time, I'll probably ask for an extra shot to make it perfect for my taste. The real standout was the cinnamon roll. It had the ideal texture with a gooey, cinnamon-filled center, and they certainly didn't skimp on the cream cheese frosting. There was enough frosting to induce a sugar overdose, in a good way. The shop itself was clean, comfortable, and designed to make you want to stay awhile. They have a huge selection of board games and LEGO sets, so you could easily spend a couple of hours hanging out with friends or family.

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.
