We absolutely loved this place. We had the fish and chips, and the chicken tenders. Both were really well made and not too heavy. The apple pie crust was super flaky and flavorful. Overall, very impressed with the food quality. The service was also great and there’s a good vibe of sitting and chatting. The menu is diverse enough that this place is great for groups. You also pay ahead, making the check process super easy. The patio is perfect for mild desert nights. Would definitely recommend for an after-event hang or any sort of get-together.
The people that work there were really nice and they didn't have much vegan stuff but they did have the vegan street tacos. I had it with corn tortillas but the corn tortillas should have been like heated in a little bit of oil or something they were cold and didn't seem like they had been really cooked so that would have made the dish a whole bunch better. The actual rest of it was kind of a mixture of sweet and spicy and that was pretty cool. The location was really good and there's great views of the mountains. They also have a ton of desserts. They have a nice place for you to go refill your water. Vegetarian options: They don't have too many vegan options but they have this street tacos. They also have oatmeal and I'm guessing you could probably also get the fried potatoes that they have.
Food was delicious and fresh. A small delay, is natural to expect with such high quality food. The service was kind, and attentive. Tho, you will not be able to "holler" for a waiter. Too many other folks talking, makes it simply too loud in the first place Your gonna have to get up, and get what you need. Which in my book, is a pretty good thing. All in all. A most satisfying way to celebrate returning to my birth city. =^w^= Praise to our Lord Jesus Christ~ Vegetarian options: Where most places offer options on what kind of meat you would like... The kind gentleman who took my order, offered avocado as an option. Kid-friendliness: I have witnessed countless children here... If it was not child friendly, there would be no way to gather such a shear number of parents.... Parking: It gets pack, but with enough patience and diligence, you are sure to find a spot... Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it is accessible by wheelchair.... Tho, it is a very active restaurant with alot of folks moving through.... In otherworlds, it is a whole challenge in its own right, to move around on foot, let alone in a chair.....
I've been away from Albuquerque for a while and it's been some time since I've eaten here. I was excited to visit town and immediately out the flying star on my placed to visit. I had the red stuff drink, which is a cool refreshing drink with a punch, soda, hibiscus flavor to it. For my entree I had the Southwest Benny which has eggs over easy, hollandaise sauce, cheddar, and green chili turkey sausage. It was absolutely as I remember delicious. For dessert I had the pineapple upside down cake. It was absolutely a treat. The price was a bit expensive for my dinner, drink and dessert. It came out to 30 dollars which included a tip. The staff was friendly and hospitable. The restaurant was quite nice inside with a clean and modern design. The outdoor patio area was quite nice as well.
This is my favorite breakfast/ anytime hang out spot. The food almost always hits and is consistently great. This is an awesome spot to vibe solo or with loved ones. Haters will say it’s overpriced and meh. I grew up on this food and will always enjoy a flying star meal or snack.
I've been coming to Flying Star Cafe since moving to Albuquerque. It's the best cafe around here with a delicious breakfast, brunch, and lunch menu. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal or just a place to hang out.Recommended dishesSoup
Flying Star is always a great place with a variety of options. The vibes are immaculate and a perfect meeting spot for a group. The food is a little hit or miss. The California Melt I had was ok but had nothing special to it.
Tiny pumpkin pie slice for $6.50. Sure this place has always been expensive but now, with shrink-flation, the Bernsteins have figured out how to recover from bankruptcy even quicker. And it doesn't just apply to pumpkin pie. If you think flying star is a good value anymore, you have a poor sense of money's worth. I've seen the trend over the past 10 years, and I won't be giving them any more business.
Flying Star is always a new place to stop in when in albuquerque. They always have the best display case for desserts and pastries. It's a nice spot for the family as they typically have something for everyone's tastes. If you have folks with gluten or dairy intolerance it's also a nice place for group dining.
One of my favorite restaurants in the entire world! Wide array of selections which accommodate all tastes. The New Mexican dishes are all must-try! Their bakery creates gourmet delights and my favorite is the eclair. I have loved Flying Star Cafe during the eight years I lived in New Mexico, but have come to love it even more now that I live in Arizona. There's always something to look forward to when I am back on business travel in New Mexico and that is The Flying Star!
