“We travelled to Albuquerque and wanted to experience the Indian Pueblo Cultire Center. Since we knew there was a dining option, we arrived hungry and I have to say we couldn’t have selected a better meal stop! Mark was our waiter and we each ordered something different in order to sample as many options as possible. The Pueblo taco was delicious. The chef makes the fry bread and it was worth every bite. After our meal we ordered and shared the Pueblo bread pudding which was so delicious I forgot to take a pic til it was essentially gone! The manager kindly brought one out so I could share a picture with you. If you are going to Albuquerque, this is an experience you will not want to miss!“

“EVERY CHANCE I HAVE DAVE'S IS MY CHOICE OF A DELICIOUS BOWL OF GREEN CHILI CHICKEN SOUP WE LIKE SITTING AT THE BAR TOO !!!“

“Locally owned and operated by extremely nice folks. The food is amazing..especially their reuben sandwich. You won't find a better one anywhere. Prices are reasonable. Try them and you'll become a regular like I did.“

“If you do not have allergies, I recommend Milly's as the food is very tasty. HOWEVER, if you have allergies, I do not recommend it. I told my server I had a soy allergy and she needed to make sure the kitchen was aware. I noticed she did NOT make note of it on the order form. I should have questioned it when my food arrived but I did not. I am speculating that they use soy bean oil in their fryer. Fortunately my allergy is moderate instead of severe so I was "just" MISERABLE for 2+ days. I contacted them through their website but never heard back from them so I am guessing they do not care. Sad since their food is good and the service is as well.“

“We were seated promptly, our waitress was professional and attentive. The food was delicious. Will definitely visit again.“

“If you are looking for a special place to celebrate, I definitely recommend! Tiffany was our server and she made sure our 28th wedding anniversary was PERFECT! Delicious food including the Nosh and a wonderful wine flight! 🤍“

“Vick's was extremely busy today but they were at their usual best. Their service is with a smile and the food was excellent. My favorite place to eat in Albuquerque.“

“Delicious and unique dishes! Tasty mimosas too!“

“So, yes, it's a little bit pricey. Now that that's out of the way... You're paying for the view and location. Our food was very good. Service was very good. We will definitely go back. I'm surprised we waited as long as we did after the rebuild. Oh, there were people there dressed relatively casual. No t-shirts, but many people in nice jeans. We've eaten on the bar/casual side a few times before and the experience there was also positive. Yes, check the prices before you go so you don't get sticker shock. But the truth is, two people could easily have dinner with no wine, appetizer or dessert for around $100.“

“Always inventive and delicious with lots of healthy options. We have loved this place since they opened their doors and it continues to be one of our go-to favorites!“

“Our waitress is just awesome. Her name is Grace and everytime me and my sister come in she says what’s that waitress we like? And it tell her I associate her with Amazing and my sister says oh yeah it’s Grace. So yes her name is Grace and she’s friendly, courteous, and very attentive. Thank you Grace.“

“The food was served piping hot and absolutely delicious! Every bite was full of flavor, and the quality was spot on. Nothing skipped a beat — everything came out just right. A wonderful experience from start to finish! Will return!“

“Really good burgers...can't wait to go back“

“Greg was incredibly attentive and welcoming, even though we only ordered water and fries since we planned to eat elsewhere after our session. He never made us feel rushed or unwelcome — instead, he remained genuinely hospitable and accommodating the entire time.“

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

“A guy in a Steelers jersey came up to us and gave us bout damn near the best homemade cupcakes I’ve had. If yall get a chance to give them a try they’re so worth it. We went and got their sandwiches and I can say the pizza sandwich had ash.“

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

“Excellent food, friendly service. I’ve tried several dishes morning and noon. I can say delicious.“

“Not living in Albuquerque, we were unaware of this place until medical needs in the family has us repeatedly driving it each day. We saw the sign for malts and were immediately intrigued as it's hard to find a malt these days... Boy were we sleeping on this place ( no pun intended)!

We ordered the egg fu young cheeseburger ( no chile because of food sensitivities) with onion cakes on the side, sweet and sour chicken with an egg roll, and try chocolate malts. The burger was delicious and the pairing with an egg fu young was perfect. What a brilliant idea! The onion cakes were great. The sweet and sour chicken eggs l was likewise very good and even better than I thought it'd be. The sauce was perfect and the chicken was perfectly fried breast meat. The egg roll was also good. The malts were very good, although they could have been a little maltier. Nonetheless, we loved everything and didn't regret a single thing we ordered. The price was also very good, around 25.00 for all of that.

The owners were both working and were very welcoming and friendly.

We would definitely return.“

“Awesome place highly recommended.“

“We are driving across country and are now headed back home to SC. We really enjoyed our Mexican dishes. I enjoyed my tamales but my favorite was the pinto beans. I’m serious.“

“Always have a good meal at hello deli where there’s breakfast burritos and their generosity to the community or lunch. We will always love going Hello Deli.😋“

“BJ's is always a good choice! our server Nikki was the best! highly recommend her.“

“I have to shout out , Monique the Manager. It was my first time coming into cheddars with my girlfriend and I, and he had kindly checked in on us. My girl and I were celebrating my last night in ABQ and a had celebrated my birthday early. She was very kind, funny, and had even gifted me a dessert because Cheddars doesn’t celebrate birthdays. But she did, and that meant a lot to me! Thank you Monique for the amazing service!“

“amazing cinnamon rolls. n doughnuts are soo good! I drive 120 miles to get them!“

“Freakin amazing service and friendly relaxing atmosphere, the food was amazing, the drinks were spot on and refreshing. Amazing girls night out spot.“

“I ordered from this restaurant without being familiar with them as I am from out of town. I ordered for a business lunch. There was a snafu with delivery thru a third party caterer. I called the restaurant directly and spoke with Luis Munoz, GM who immediately offered to delivery not only fresh pizzas, but included soda as well that had not been on the order. Clearly his priority is customer service and I have no doubt he would offer the same at his restaurant!“

“Great supercharger stop and great food“
