Fast service even when packed. Waited 20 minutes showing up at 1015 for two so not bad. Server was great and got us our water and coffee quick. Took out orders quick as well. Only waited 15 minutes after placing orders. The portions are huge and prices well worth what you get. My crispy pork tenderloin was delicious. I tried my wife's CFS also and it was amazing. Tender and juicy, flavorful. The beans are fantastic also, melt in your mouth creamy. The red and green chili has a nice kick to it we both enjoyed. Wife got tortillas and I got sourdough as bread options. Perfect for mopping up the tasty chili sauce. Be sure to nab a dessert of choice from the chalkboard to try or talk with you. Never pass on great scratch made desserts like these at such good prices.
I was in a party of three at 1130 am on a Saturday. This restaurant was extremely busy and we waited about 30 minutes for a table. The service and food were very good! We all ordered a different variation of the chicken fried steak breakfast. I ordered the chicken fried steak with green chile, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and biscuits. The meal is a tremendous amount of food, and I took more than half of it home and got a couple more meals out of the leftovers. This is one of the largest and tastiest chicken fried steak meals I have ever eaten in Albuquerque or anywhere else. I highly recommend this restaurant and the chicken fried steak breakfast, but bring your appetite.
The service at the restaurant is fantastic! Whoever trained the staff should get a raise! These people New York City hustle!!! The Cooks in the kitchen are cranking out quality food fast! We waited about 3 minutes from order to table and the amount of food is huge. Just about everyone in the restaurant is walking out with a leftover box. Green chili has great flavor too!
Our waitress was excellent and she gets 10 stars. The manager, however, is not a good manager at all. He or she cares nothing for the comfort of the patrons. There was a very long wait. Many people were waiting outside, and there were tables and chairs that were locked up and no one could sit at them. One woman offered her chair to me because I have recently had surgery and it was painful for me to be standing. My husband went inside and asked if they could see about unlocking some chairs since there were so many people that would like to sit down outside while they wait at least 45 minutes if not longer. The gal came back and apparently the manager couldn’t be bothered and said no. For the life of us the only thing we could figure is the manager just didn’t want to be bothered with it and didn’t care about the comfort of the patrons. Really not cool at all.
this place is awesome!!! i ordered the huevos rancheros and my boyfriend ordered the chicken fried steak, both were SO GOOD! the huevos rancheros usually comes with a flour tortilla on the bottom but i subbed it for corn tortillas and they did that no problem. super yummy! my boyfriends dish was HUGE! the chicken fried steak was seasoned well and tasted very good! the service was decent, not anything super special, but the patio was nice. would return!! Wheelchair accessibility: There’s a ramp available and handicap push buttons.
As a local only eater in Albuquerque this spot is the bomb for breakfast. The staff is fast and the food is quick but hot and fresh. Plates are not by any means small. You will find that there is plenty of choices available on the menu. There is always a small wait but they move the line along just fine. I was a party of one on this trip I waited less then 5 minutes. Coffee was hot and fresh. The waffle was hot and lightly crisp mmm, bacon was fresh not cooked ahead. So yes I recommend this spot for tourist and locals alike.
I really, really, really don’t understand why this place is so popular. The portions are twice the size of Cracker Barrel, sure, but the quality is twice as bad…and that’s saying a lot. We got the chili relleno and the country fried steak. I found the food pretty revolting and wish I had just heated up something from the freezer instead. Any Costco frozen food would have been twice the quality of whatever they are getting from their supplier. I didn’t eat my food, the biscuits are nasty, the batter was hard and poorly done on the chicken fried steak, and my chili rellones for $16 only had cheese in them and were literally dipped in pancake batter and then fried, which was disgusting. We thought this might be a hidden gem, because we loved our meal at local burrito place NMBJ but this place was just YUCK and twice the price as well.
They told me 15 minutes to sit, it was only 8. The service was great. I didn't have to bother for refills. The chicken fried steak for breakfast was huge! It needed more green chili, it was a little dry. The eggs should have been placed on top of the chicken fried steak. Unfortunately they charge a 3% surcharge for using credit cards. Everything else was great!.
Came here on a Sunday morning, we had a 40 minute wait for 2 people. The service was good, and once we ordered our food came out in 10/15 minutes. We both got the #3, chicken fried steak breakfast meal. It was really good, a lot of food. It’s a busy place with lots of people but didn’t seem over crowded.Food: 5/5
Food was amazing. We were there for breakfast. Waited 30 minutes for a table and another 30 for the food. This place was busy.Food: 5/5
