“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!“

“amazing brunch service! went here with a friend and had the French toast- which I highly recommend. Decently priced too!“

“Stopped on our way through to Colorado! What a treat! Staff is extra friendly and food was fantastic. We’d totally be regulars if we lived nearby!“

“Our server Christine was amazing! She was prompt, made amazing recommendations, and never made us feel rushed. Food was great we had the wings and I had the Greek salad. 10/10 recommend.“

“Even with a reservation, it took a while to get a table for our party, but that was the only downside to the evening. The service was excellent, we had a few appetizers and while the potions weren't large, they were absolutely delicious. Everything from the mushrooms to the artichoke was fantastic. Then for the main course, everything was fantastic. The potatoes and asparagus were perfectly cooked, the filet mignon had a great crust and was cooked to order, the sea bass was light, flaky and great flavor balance with the sauce. The desserts are perfect sized to have a sweet treat after a large meal, I had the raspberry with chocolate chip and canoli shell and enjoyed every bite. Could not recommend the food more highly.“

“Anniversary Steak Dinner. Amazing. Beat steak I have ever had!! We both got it because neither of us wanted to share. Go only when Casey is there. He makes the best steaks and you won’t regret it!!“

“I have gone to this location many of time and Patricia is awesome and great. She always pre busses the table and know what adult drinks we like. The food came out on time and the pizza is always great.“

“Very good food you should all go“

“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 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! 🤍“

“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.“

“the best breakfast we’ve had since a long time 🥹 we owe it all to Karla! our awesome server that showed love & dedication within her job. Coming from being a supervisor at a restaurant & working the server position; She was comforting, attentive, on point with coffee refills & attention to small detail, our food was out & on our table at a timely manner. She gave exceptional service today🩷 all our love to you Karla! Denny’s is lucky to have you!“

“Delicious and unique dishes! Tasty mimosas too!“

“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.“

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

“Ordered for take-out, as I was staying at a local hotel. I was able to order online, easily. It was ready when promised. The pizza roll was hot, tasted amazing, and was plenty for one person. Environment seemed fun, staff friendly, and it was very clean. Would definitely come back.“

“Awesome place highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Server did such a great job we felt her hospitality before we were we even attended. And even when requesting a different order she never made us feel like an inconvenience. Thank you for making my first experience at BJ the first in forever because I will always come back for her service !“

“This is as local as it gets! Ben & Lisa are Burquenos!“

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

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

“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.“

“We have a new favorite!!! After some of our former favorites decreased in quality, we have been on the lookout for our next spot to get incredible New Mexican food. My husband and I ordered two burrito plates with a side of fries, iced tea and jamaica. It was all fantastic! The customer service was TOP NOTCH and our server even asked what they could improve upon as we checked out. Cannot wait to come back.“

“We are in Farmington for a few months for my hubbys job. We went to Wecks Saturday morning. The food was amazing, service was awesome, and it was super clean. But all of the staff were so friendly to everyone, and they all seemed truly happy!! Definitely going back again!“

“Kimmy snacks is an awesome quick lunch and/or dinner spot, or you can hang out for a while and have some drinks, watch a game, or catch a concert. I recommend the Albuquerque turkey. It’s moist yet crunchy, packed full of flavor, and just the right amount of green chile heat. The gooey cheese melts in your mouth and nothing will compliment it better than a Dubai chocolate dot cake. She’s got everything you could want and more, check her out!!“

“Hadn't been here in a little while, was really looking forward to having the honey butter croissants but got a regular croissant with a sugar glaze, was still good and fluffy but not as good as the others they had before. Hoping this was just for a limited time run.“

“Cute place, great food, and such friendly service!!“

“Stopped there midway through a long roadtrip. Best decision ever, food was fantastic! Will definitely stop there anytime we pass through again.“

“Definitely get the spicy chop, get a baked potato load it down with spicy chop and sauce it up, you won't regret it. Great spot to eat, turkey, spicy chop, ribs are all great. Brisket isn't the best, no Mac and cheese. The original sauce is spicy, cause you know NM spice 😆 but the sissy sauce is good if you don't like the spicy stuff. Highly recommend i stop anytime I'm in NM for work.“

“Great supercharger stop and great food“

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

“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!“

“very friendly staff! pet friendly! the food is absolutely delicious! I have health issues that keep me from eating things I was once used to. it's hard for me to find something to eat that won't upset my system. the food was delicious and warm and some of the best vegan and gluten free food I've tried! the prices weren't that bad either! if your looking for some yummy eats in a relaxing atmosphere check out La Finca Bowls!!“

“5 stars is inadequate— 10 stars please. Impeccable service, exquisitely delicious food— I could enjoy and be wowed by @frenchishabq several times a week, it’s that #memorable. Celebrated lavishly tonight to honor a BFF’s passing— Frenchish was his favorite and always thrills! TYSM for indulging our late stay ?“
