“The food was absolutely delicious! Fresh salad, beans and squash make my mouth water just thinking about it. And the blue corn enchiladas were the best. I had the bread pudding for dessert, and it is to die for. Everyone, from the greater, to Mark my waiter, to the manager went out of their way to make me feel cared for and make my lunch experience great. I can't wait until my next visit.“

“Excellent experience! We'd been once before, and we chose them for our anniversary dinner. There was a small problem with the dinner, but the owner immediately addressed the issue and the meal and wine were wonderful. Very happy with the experience. Prime rib was superb, cobbler delicious. The staff was exactly right level of attention... every need met, but not intrusive at all. Will dine here again, 10/10.“

“Dine in | Breakfast | $10–20 Cafe Lush is a gem of a restaurant. The menu is full of interesting twists on foodie favorites, and many dishes can be made gluten-free and/or vegan. We are vegan and came for breakfast. Even though we didn’t see mention of vegan cheese on the menu, they have it - along with well prepared tofu - and were very accommodating to our dietary restrictions. Our dishes were so delicious as were the Lush Lattes, which are a work of art. Amy and Rebecca are great! They are personable and fun, and made our dining experience pleasurable. We come to Albuquerque from Santa Fe periodically and will be looking forward to many more wonderful meals at Cafe Lush.“

“Great food. wonderful brunch spot. My server, Shannon, was a perfect waitress. Prompt, friendly, and professional. She was the cherry on top of the sundae of great food and a fun ambience. Thanks Farmacy and Shannon. You made my day.“

“First time visiting Bubba's 33. What a great place. Friendly greeters, hostesses, and wait staff. Manager came by to check on our table. Ordered the burger, and it was great, hand-made patty, cooked to perfection. Try the onion rings!“

“Great supercharger stop and great food“

“I was told long ago that I had to go get something to eat from this place and holy moly were they right! This place is a gem! The people here were so nice I didn't think I was in Albuquerque anymore lol. I ordered an alb stacker for me and my kid but one with a bun and the other on a sopapilla. They were large 1/2lb burgers with bacon, guacamole, green chile and cheese. The burgers are hand pressed and the chile is made fresh daily. It is incredibly good! I had some red chile cheese fries and red chile can be hit or miss in some places but here it was old fashioned goodness! We were given free natillas for it being our first time here and my little mini foodie partner will agree that this place is in the top 5 burger places I've been to in Albuquerque. They even have a rewards program here where you can earn free food just by eating here. I love this place and wished it was a little closer to home. Definitely two thumbs up from me and my mini me!!! Can't wait to come back.“

“Makayla is a terrific waitress. They have excellent food and a fun atmosphere. We will be going back!“

“Stopped in for lunch while enjoying a day at the Biopark. Great selection of New Mexican eats with attentive staff in a smaller dining area. We didn’t receive one of the items we ordered, but the removed it without an issue as we were very full for the entrees and flan. The birria tacos were so crispy. Probably our best New Mexican food all week.“

“Had a late lunch/early dinner. Plenty of seats available inside. We were seated promptly and food came out quickly. My wings were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I had a buffalo chicken salad which was well portioned and tasty. The ranch dressing is house made, but was very mild in flavor. Service was friendly.“

“Had a great experience at this locally owned restaurant! Everything they have is from other local places here in New Mexico, which I love. Keeping it local to help other local small business’s and vendors is where it’s at. The food was absolutely phenomenal! I had the Green Chile Cheeseburger, very well cooked and made. I will definitely return. Thank You“

“Very good food you should all go“

“Absolutely love Dave’s - it’s been our family go-to place for a while - and the first place I bring people visiting from out of town for a feel of the NE Heights.The menu is large, but I’ve yet to try anything that wasn’t good. The brunch menu is served until 2, and the sweet cream griddle cakes are a personal favorite. The ice cream that comes with the gooey cookie is TOP NOTCH and worth ordering the entire dish for.For atmosphere, the bar seating is super fun, high top side by the door, and chair height by the booths which is super novel to me.Great service, refills before I can ask, and hot fresh food from the kitchen. Special shout out to Jake and Callie for making our most recent trip amazing as usual.“

“Perfect comfort food on a cold day.“

“On a quick visit to Albuquerque and arrived early, first stop for brunch was The Grove! I had the Farmers Salad, hubby had breakfast sandwich and we shared the Grove Pancakes. Also latte and coffee. Everything was excellent!! It was lovely sitting outdoors, the atmosphere ??Highly recommended! ❣️“

“Everything was great and our party of 7 was very happy so we will be back! There was plenty of room for our walk in group at 6pm on a Saturday night. It did fill up quickly after that. Another restaurant we did have reservations for had no parking access at a crowded mall so we called Longhorn which we saw had great parking as we drove past and they accommodated us easily. Steaks and sides were excellent. The salmon was also perfect.“

“Excellent service, delicious food, and I will definitely be back.“

“Great music! Happy customers.“

“I have stopped here many times. All the donuts are amazing and the cinnamon rolls are giant definitely the best donut shop!“

“This is my husband and mine favorite restaurant in the area! The food is always fantastic (highly recommended the parmesan crusted chicken), prices reasonable for what you get (I always end up taking food home), and it is a very quiet restaurant compared to Texas Roadhouse across the street. Also recommend thier cheesecake.“

“Freaking delicious. Literally everything was excellent.“

“Nice place to eat great food. Good Pina coladas!“

“We visited Rudy’s because it was close to our hotel and it has good reviews.Oliver greeted us with a friendly welcome and was exceptionally helpful with descriptions and suggestions. Such a perfect personality to provide customers with terrific customer service! We really enjoyed the moist pulled pork with both sauces and jalapeño sausage! Treat yourself to a tasty meal!“

“Fast and friendly service! And the food was great! Our server, Laney, made us feel like we were at our best friends’ home for breakfast. 15/10 will come here again.“

“Sorry no Pix. But it was Delish. Says The King of Spades, 3 of Hearts & 10 of Clubs. Table of 5“

“I can't even remember how many years I've been going here. Great sandwiches. Great creamy green chile chicken stew.“

“My cousin recommended this breakfast joint. And I am soooo glad she did. The Daily Grind is off the hook. Here I have an everything bagel stuffed with egg, mild cheddar, grilled Hatch Chile and bacon. Best breakfast bagel I have ever had, gods honest truth. The egg was light and fluffy and also cooked well done just like I requested, the bacon was extra crispy and the hatch chile was amazing, as usual. The Daily Grind is located on Cutler in Midtown ABQ. Stop by and say hello, I’m sure they’d love to see you. And remember to always support local over national. #supportlocal“

“This place has amazing delicious food, it never disappoints. So many options and the staff is super friendly.“

“Love this place. We went for the prime rib which is always good. I tried one of the specials (rib eye). Eh...good flavor but I'm always comparing rib eyes with what I prepare at home and I haven't found any restaurant yet that has made a better one than my home made. Should have stuck with the prime rib. The service was absolutely fantastic. We will return.“

“Weck's is an excellent local breakfast/lunch place with multiple locations. The food is consistently delicious at all of them.* Credit goes to the owners/management for creating a friendly, atmosphere that's truly customer focused. With many visits to many locations over the years I can't recall any time where the food wasn't delicious and served warm by an attentive and friendly staff. Or a time when a manager didn't stop by the table to make sure all was good.* Everything on the menu looks delicious, but like most of us, I tend to go with my favorites. ? Like the Original Papas. Their cinnamon roll is gigantic - perfect for sharing. Their red and green chile is consistently flavorful and excellent as well. You can't go wrong with it.Parking: Parking can be tight on busy weekends, but the food is worth it.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly and children's menu available.“

“Not sure why we waited so long to try this place! GREAT spot for Sunday brunch!“

“first and foremost important is the food is absolutely scrumptious second of all the all the stuff servers waiters everyone very friendly five stars Plus for sure“

“Great food! I would definitely go again for a nice place to relax after work.“

“What a memorable night with excellent service, pleasant atmosphere, and very tasty drinks and dishes!“

“Best New Mexican Food In The State!!!“

“First time here. Had a few miscommunication problems, but otherwise, the experience and food were wonderful. Turkey bacon wrap was awesome, and the potato salad was delectable. Highly recommend. Will be going back to try other menu items.Parking: The spots nearest to the deli fill quickly, but there are spots readily available.Kid-friendliness: Saw a few kids earing, appears the menu is also kid friendly.“

“This was our first time here, but won't be the last! Delicious food, friendly attentive service. 18 beers on tap and a very wide variety of local, national, and international beers in cans/bottles. Great whiskey selection. 2 patios, 1 covered, 1 open air with sun umbrellas; the latter is dog friendly. Thanks for the vegan items on the menu!Vegetarian options: Vegan items on the menu are marked with a V.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free items on the menu are marked with GF.“
