Two Hands Corn Dogs — Restaurant in Albuquerque

Bottom line: great concept, poor execution.

THE GOOD 👍 The flavors are there: American corndogs with a bit of Eastern Asian fusion flare. Kimchi seasoned fries were very tasty & had satisfying texture. Rolling a "corn"dog in panko after the batter is definitely a superior method. It yields exactly what you would expect from a panko fry... crispy crunchy exterior. The Potato Dog is clearly a god-tier concept for a corndog, hands down. BUT...

THE BAD 👎 The batter is kind of disgusting; my friend agreed it was like stodgy deep-fried Wonder Bread. And there is TOO MUCH of it which creates problems. It makes the dogs look bigger (only by giving them bulk) which does technically make for a larger crunchy surface area... but it throws all the balance off. It also creates a problem for the frying math. Either the fryers are too hot, the batter too thick, or both, resulting in undercooked center dough and cheese/dog that isn't hot. The batter is thick and gross enough that not even the superior, crunchy, umami outside could save it. Ultimately, we gave up, it was unappetizing enough it wasn't worth it.

THE MEH 🫤 I honestly try to be very kind to food service workers, but their kitchen line was almost painfully slow. I wasn't expecting "fast food" these dogs are definitely elevated and take more time, but it took a silly amount of time for what ultimately was a particularly "meh" gustatory payoff.

Recommendation @TwoHands: don't drown the dogs in (gross) batter that screws up the balance, flavors, and cooking times. Find a quick, smooth, and efficient kitchen line. If you fix this, I would probably...

It's my first time in my last time here I took my wife in child to eat here when driving up there was a guy that was a homeless person was beating himself up spitting all over the window spitting on people's car slapping himself punching himself yelling and screaming after a good 5 minutes of waiting for him to leave cuz my 4-year-old was in the car we get down and order our food it is a very small building there are maybe five tables and one long chair it is very dirty nobody is wiping down the tables nobody is sweeping mopping or clean anything after sitting at the dirty table for a good 10 15 minutes we finally get our food my wife ordered a spicy corn dog which he gave her the wrong corn dog it had ranch and a classic wedding she ate it anyways after halfway through it was raw it wasn't even cooked all the way I got a regular classic corn dog which cheese half sausage the sausage was overcooked and rubbery the breading on the outside was burnt and greasy my wife ordered something like a jack fry when we open the box it was tater tots not french fries what's it worth the money or my time don't recommend coming hereto the dirty store somebody needs to clean it and retrain...

I ordered at the kiosk and made an error on what corn dog I wanted. Mind you I come here at least 3 to 4 times a week with my kids. It’s something that we enjoyed to do after school together. I would expect that, since I am a faithful and loyal, continuing customer they would had offered to make an accommodation for the error. Instead, they said it was too late to make a change. They already made them. I took a bite in front of them to see if it was something I would like unfortunately, it was absolutely disgusting and not my taste. And they then asked me if everything was OK to which I answered. No that corn dog is disgusting and not my taste. They then just looked at me and closed my box. Why even ask if you have no intent to help your customer. Again, you would think me being a loyal customer they would have offered some type of accommodations to switch it but nothing. Bad customer service! Please provide more training for your staff on how to make your customers happy. I would have been more than glad to give you guys a five star but due to your poor customer service, I have to...
