The place is small with a great atmosphere. Outdoor patio added for more space. The music was eclectic and fun. Staff was amazing. Prices weren't too high although my hubs did not appreciate the 2$ charge for water. The only reason I rated it four instead of five stars is the waffles weren't crisp. They were soft like pancakes. I got the bacon pecan waffles and the caramel sauce was delicious. Regular waffles and chicken tenders were good as well. A side of fried pickles that 2out of 3 of us agreed were excellent. The chicken tenders were very crunchy yet still moist on the inside. I'd really like to try the grits next time. And I can imagine how amazing the wings are. All in all worth the stop and experience!
Visiting Albuquerque again this week and didn't know about this place. This will be my 1st stop to eat. Incredible fried chicken!!! The waffles and fried okra were spot on. Decor and music fit this eatery. Definitely stop here if you want excellent food.
This place is a breath of fresh air with the quality of food and service going down everywhere. I got the 4pc Tender with 2 waffles and my husband the 6pc wing and waffle. My picky toddler even loved the food here. The chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly, same with the wings. I will say the wings definitely have more flavor so I will be ordering those next time. They didn’t need any hot sauce, the wings were absolutely delicious on their own. The sweet tea was some of the best I’ve had. Definitely worth the $1.50 refill on those, but I doubt you’ll need one since the mason jars huge! Overall, this place has some of the best food we’ve had in town. My family and I loved it and will be back soon.
I'll add pics as I revisit. First and second visit: I knew this place would be worth it! Prices are surprisingly not outrageous. But plan on around $20/person. Chicken was perfect texture, seasoning, and doneness. A little small. Waffles are a decent size. I almost got two waffles, but honestly one was satisfying. We had to order wings also. Pro tip: get the bacon pecan sauce. The "Off the Wall" fries were worth my lactose intolerance issues. We shared it as an appetizer. Catfish was definitely top tier. Fried mushrooms were tasty too. But I liked the smoked turkey greens even more than the fried stuff! Third visit: the quality changed. Waffle seemed smaller and less crispy. Pecan/bacon sauce still divine. I actually enjoyed my "muddy water" gravy wings. But my husband got the Nashville hot wings and it was unclear until we got them that it was a dry rub, not a sauce. If you don't mind spoonfuls of cayenne and nothing else, go for it. They wouldn't replace his wings but they allowed him buffalo sauce. It helped a little. Maybe we aren't used to Nashville hot but we've had better experiences.
Frank's famous chicken is probably some of the crispiest wings I've ever had. They paired perfectly with the delicious waffles. This restaurant is great for a quick lunch and unexpectedly green patio u definitely will be back. Great food and great service. Hot sauce on the waffles mixed in with the syrup is a great way to spice them up.
