What our guests are saying
Fantastic experience and meals. Very fun decour and atmosphere, our server Q was super personable and adorable, and the chicken and waffles were spectacular! Q checked in on us numerous times, even though they were super busy. We are eager to return.

Absolutely love this place! The staff are always pleasant and helpful and the food is delicious! I've had (and love!) the Nashville Hot wings, fried mushrooms, and greens and I enjoyed every bite. My daughter got the same wings with the waffles and lemonade and we devoured every morsel. I highly recommend Frank's and I plan to go back the next time I'm in Albuquerque.

Food is amazing and the staff is always nice. Love love coming here. The off the wall fries are a good way to try a bit of everything. Their Mac and cheese is my absolute favorite.
