Frankie's New York Buffalo Wings UP Town Center — Restaurant in Quezon City

It seems like it's trying to capture an American vibe but it remains uniquely Filipino. This isn't a bad thing. I found the fusion exciting as I always do when visiting and treated to a new local higher end place in a mall like this .

I tried the boneless chicken which wasn't really wings as much as fried strips of chicken breast. I was a little confused at first so remember that when you have a choice of flavor this is a wet sauce going on it and no dipping sauce is included on the side. It doesn't look like they do dry rubs here either. The cheesy bacon was something I had never had before and it was a treat. Because I ordered an extra sauce that took them a while to figure it out, because like I said they normally don't include a second sauce on the side. But the deep fried chicken slathered and cheesy bacon dipped in barbecue was pretty awesome. I was able to use my extra barbecue sauce on my rice.

Pretty decent value, very friendly staff, and a pretty decent venue. It wasn't overcrowded when we were there but I could see the place getting packed on some days / times. I would go back when I'm in the area but I would bring my appetite. You get a lot of food...

Chicken is nicely cooked. Love the classic buffalo. Cant have mixed flavors, bummer. Fish n chips was ok. Tho they use bangus fillet instead of the typical dory. Spam mac n cheese was mid. For the price, its acceptable. Mozza sticks was ok.

Staff was nice. Tho they mix up orders twice on a single table. Our table. Its ok, it was dinner rush. I understand.

Here’s the catch: Wait time for food was HORRIBLE.

I could’ve easily added a star if we didn’t have to wait for more than half an hour for dinner. We had to ask the server to have our desert to go, coz we have things to do.

I guess the patrons reflects this joint. It’s made for college students hanging out. If you’re going here with family on a dinner rush, there are much better options in and around UP Town Center. Its a chicken wing. You’re not gonna miss anything you have not tried.

Heard of Tomato Cannon in...

I wouldn’t recommend this branch at all. My girlfriend and I were standing outside, checking the large menu display, when a crew member approached and waited for us to come in. We told him we were still deciding what to order and would enter shortly. He was right in front of us and clearly heard what we were planning to get—just a simple meal: 3 wings with rice, drinks, and a dessert, since we don’t usually go for large meals.

However, when we finally went inside, the same crew member started listing all the unavailable items on the menu—unfortunately, including everything we were planning to order. We told him we needed to check the menu again, but by then, we were already disappointed.

The whole experience felt like a hassle and left us frustrated. Definitely not the kind of service or experience...
