“Such a great, fun, friendly, delicious place to have dinner!“

“Generous portions of freshly prepared meals. Attentive servers. Never disappointed.“

“They accommodated my allergies and still managed to give me the best meal of my life! The service was incredible, and the chef was very present for all diners. I was extremely impressed.“

“Weekends- Very Busy! Touristy attraction... Keep that in mind, might be a bit of a wait if come but very worth it.
Menu options has a bit of something for everyone, and able to make slight modifications if necessary. We came in for the famous "Monte Christo", This was the ultimate dream sandwich, was beyond my expectations- Devine!, The way it was crafted!! Oh! Sweet Baby Jesus... Bread- Each piece was Locally Made, Thick, Crispy. Meat- Thick slices of Turkey and Ham with the most delicious melted cheese. And then when you about to have a food-gasm, They pair it with a raspberry chili sauce that was so good, you might cry from the deliciousness. (And, The portion size- umm. they ain't small.) Came in very hungry and left with a left-overs box. You most likely will not finish all of your order.
Blessings! The Ancestors know this places is doing it right! Giving this one the Ding-Ding!!

Vegetarian options: The have large portion salads and other offerings. You are able to modify some various menu items, speak with server. Be aware, some items on menu are un-common meat based. If you are super sensitive, might want to consider the culture beforehand.“

“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.“

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

“Top notch food and great service from Emma and the crew! Will be back!“

“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.“

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

“This place was awesome! Great veterans atmosphere. Need more 82nd Abn, 1st In Div, and 1st Armored Div memorabilia! Sure do wish we could be there on Fridays for the OG breakfasts. Great food, highly recommended, as a veteran myself.“

“I worked at their BDM location in the early 90s. Andrew was at the helm and Joe would come in and help out too. Larry was also there as the location manager, I believe he owns it now. I started there pregnant with my first son and returned after his birth. it was such a fun place to work. There were three of us plus Larry and Andrew. I admire the family, their work eithic and all the fun times and yummy food we got to enjoy. I wonder how Dave is doing, he was my side partner doing prep in the super early mornings. he had a thick New Hampshire accent and was a pleasure to work with. I moved away from NM 20+ years ago (for medical reasons) but everytime I make a homemade Albuquerque turkey I think of them all and our time working together. ❤️“

“Freaking delicious. Literally everything was excellent.“

“It was our first time to visit, the food and atmosphere was amazing. Our server Daryl did an excellent job, if you’re looking for a great family place to sit down and enjoy great food and service look no further!“

“Very good food you should all go“

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

“We shared the grilled artichoke app which was delicious. My sea bass with wild rice was so good. Cleaned my plate! The trout was also very good. What I particularly like about Season 52 are the desserts... So many restaurants serve large slices of cake, pie, and other desserts that are more than what I want to eat after a nice meal. The variety of dessert flavors served in a large "shot glass" is the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful meal.“

“We came here to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday, and we were treated like royalty. The head chef came out to our table three times to ensure everything was to our liking. The service was exceptional, and our drinks were always topped up. To be honest, the food was just okay. The nachos were oversalted but still delicious, and the carbonara was simple but tasty. The restaurant excelled at mediocrity, but everything still tasted great. Given the beautiful venue, I would have expected something more special from the menu.“

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

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

“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“

“Delicious and unique dishes! Tasty mimosas too!“

“Great music! Happy customers.“

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

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

“I recently dined at Cheddar's, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The restaurant was impeccably clean, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. What truly made the evening special was the exceptional service provided by the manager, Andrew. He went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect, making us feel valued and well-cared for. Andrew's professionalism and genuine hospitality were truly the cherry on top of a fantastic meal. Highly recommend!

“We went here after visiting the petroglyphs! I'm so glad we picked this bar. The bartender Monica was fantastic! It was Mother's Day, and they had a great band. I can't remember the name, but they rocked! The food and drinks were awesome!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Celebrated our 10 year anniversary with Ten 3. Truly an amazing dining experience with outstanding hospitality. It gave our top memorable dining experiences a run for their money. It's by far number 1 of ours in the States!“

“Second time for a dinner here in the last nine months. The menu is creative, dishes are not large, taste and ingredients are the focus. Excellent wine suggestions are also not too expensive. Decor is contemporary. You may have to park a little way from this Route 66 street location.“

“Mr Carson (the boss) was here welcoming people and working in the kitchen. Great place to catch a quick bite and have a quick drink. I was passing through and convieniently went to the planet fitness adjacent to oak tree Cafe. I looked up the place and seen the nm Chile cheese burger so I got that. 10/10. Place is right off of i25. Highly recommend it if you're in or passing through new mexico.“

“We came for dinner, and we were very impressed! Service was great. Josh, our server, was friendly and made sure we were taken care of. The food was excellent! The pot roast was fork tender and not fatty at all. The brisket sandwich was awesome. We will definitely be going back!“

“Fun place. 1sr time here had a blast.“

“This is an overpriced mediocre experience. While the food was ok I received burnt food. Bacon was literally black. When I asked for a bacon not burnt I got a bad attitude my pancakes were also burned but I decided not to ask for new ones because of the poor attitude for 2 kids pancakes and bacon 34 dollars it def was not worth it“

“most definitely Sophie at the bar. she is always gracious and efficient! love her!“

“Awesome place highly recommended.“

“The breakfast food came quickly but the bacon was very crispy it would have been nice if they would have asked us how we wanted it because it was not that good crispy to the level that it was almost burnt and falling apart. It was like that on the side and in my burrito so maybe they were just trying to use up some bacon that had been cooked too much“

“The staff here make this place for me. I'm often eating here due to time restrictions, but the friendliness and helpful attitudes here really make it an excellent option.

Vegetarian options: The best options of any restaurant I've been to. They are VERY forward thinking about dietary restrictions and options.

Dietary restrictions: The best options of any restaurant I've been to. They are VERY forward thinking about dietary restrictions and options.

Parking: The lot is shared with the people working in the area and you'll often have to park far and hike.

Kid-friendliness: Kids would probably be fine here, but aren't normally expected due to the location.

Wheelchair accessibility: Excellent accommodations, though often full.“

“best food“

“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.“

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

“Pros: The service was great! Genuine and helpful. The server even recommended some wines not on the wine list, and the recommendation was spot on. I felt so special because she went out of her way to track down a bottle for me. Really well done. The food was decent value. We had 4 tapas for two people, and that was more than enough. The sauces were awesome. It's very rare that I highlight a sauce at a restaurant, but the patatas bravas and the bacon wrapped dates both had great sauces. I enjoyed the croquettes. My husband did not. Cons: The atmosphere is so drab. It's like Hotel Andaluz hired people who predominately decorate airport lounges to decorate their restaurant. The hotel is beautiful with lots of character, and the restaurant has chartreuse lighting with gray accents and walls. It has the impact of making people look ill. Like, why? There is an odd use of glass, too. And strange pops of color. I love pops of color, but these are poorly done. This is the first time I've been here in over a decade, and I recall it being more sophisticated. But now, not so much. Just ugly as can be. Overall, we would probably go back because of the food and service. But because I like a great atmosphere for dates, it might be edged out by lots of other places that better balance the vibes.“

“We stayed at the Fairfield next door and stopped in for happy hour. Quite often was treated well by staff, and the apps were good and price as well. Just don't order the chicken Alfredo noodles were dry and cold. Other than that nice place to have other stuff, give them a try and stop in sometime.“

“Today is Memorial Day and the staff was shorthanded. They had multiple people call in. With a crew of a cook, a bartender, and a waitress, they busted their butts and did everything that they possibly could to make sure that everybody was taken care of in a timely manner, some were not so patient, others understood. These guys are great, the food is good, Justin is the best manager, he is calm, and he takes care of everything with pride! Thank you for everything guys. We will definitely be back!“

“Fantastic food and service every time I go in.
Courtney is magnificent and on top of it all when it comes to service, her down to earth personality, beautiful smile, which is on all the time, and excellent attention to detail for customer needs. One of the best restaurants I've been too. Good hot food every time and fast. Clean restrooms and clean restaurant.“
