My Dad and I and a friend would stop every weekend on the way back to Albuquerque after our mining trips all though the 80's. And nothing tasted better then a green chili cheeseburger and those awesome fries after a long weekend of prospecting.

Great place! Fast, friendly service, delicious food and a fun atmosphere. A must try place after you're done crane watching at the Bosque del Apache NWR.

Highly recommend a side of beans!

This is a funky bar/ restaurant and it is a must-see when you are visiting Bosque del Apache. Get a burger, stick a dollar on the wall with a note, drink a beer if you're so inclined, but do it so you can check it off your bucket list!

Always delicious, always fast, always friendly. The green Chile cheese burger is the best in the nation. The green Chile cheese fries best in the nation. The green Chile cheese burgerless burger is the best in the nation

It's the epitome of a dive bar and the home of the green chili cheeseburger . Dollar bills on the walls, statues outside, bare bones style, good food, good service. It's a must stop every time we come to check out the birds at the Bosque.

This place was recommended by a customer of mine, I was a little concerned by the outside but then I walk in and it’s like going back in time! Super super super friendly people! The burger was amazing, the fries were perfect and so was the carrot cake! A must visit if you are in the area!

The green chile cheeseburger lived up to the hype. I also really enjoyed the breakfast burrito, which also had green chile in it.

After spending the day enjoying the wildlife area I decided to grab a bite to eat before my drive home. So glad I decided to get the green chile cheeseburger and onion rings. Just outstanding! Better than a popular place in Hatch. I will make this my go to place when in the area!!

Do you want to put your elbows not only in the first Hilton bar but the same bar Oppenheimer (I mean prospectors) did? Then you need to have at least one drink here. To know, my elbows are resting where the father of Atomic weapons did, just feels great.
