“good food, great people, everything seems hand made fresh.“

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

“Veronica is the best server always enjoy her service cold beer hot food highly recommended“

“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 food! Great recommendations made by Mikie. We let him now we had to leave by a certain time and he made sure we weren’t rushed. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“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.“

“Excellence dining experience. The ambiance was astounding, the service was excellent and the food was delicious. I encountered a minor issue with the food I was served and my waitress sent the manager to see me and she (the manager) was inquisitive, courteous, and quite apologetic with regards to my issue and very appreciative of my willingness to respectfully divulge the nature of my small complaint. She very skillfully resolved the issue in a manner that more than exceeded my expectations. I will eventually return to dine at this establishment again and highly recommend that anyone in the Albuquerque region to do the same. Side note: This restaurant is a moderately upscaled establishment. I just happened to be in the area for other reasons straight out of work when I chose to dine here and personally felt a bit embarrassed by my personal appearance. I was not frowned upon by the staff or the manager and was treated with the utmost care and respect during my dining experience but I would personally recommend a more business casual type of dress rather than the mechanics clothes I was wearing.“

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

“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! 🤍“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“BJ’s is our go to when we want to celebrate something special. We enjoy we can eat gluten free options including desert which is rare! Chris was a great server in the bar area, very nice atmosphere and superb staff! Highly recommend to anyone looking for great prices with an elevated experience!“

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

“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 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.“

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

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

“1st time here. Maria was our waitress. Took here customer service above and beyond. Appetizer was delish. Food was to die food. Fam bam all had burgers and chicken tenders and urban chicken was nice and tender and not dried out. I had the fish and chips and mann that fish was fire. Every thing was awesome.“

“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!“

“Stopped by Applebee’s tonight and had a great experience. The food came out fast, everything was cooked right, and the servers were friendly and on top of everything.

Sierra was doing an awesome job keeping things moving and making sure everything was running smoothly. You could tell the whole team was working together, from the kitchen to the servers.

Great service, fast food, and an overall really good experience. Definitely wanted to give the whole crew some recognition for doing a great job tonight!“
