We were looking for a local places to eat. This place completely filled the bill. It's the typical local place. The food was good and hit the spot. We had French toast, a wet burrito and some eggs. Everything tasted good. The sauce on the wet burrito was very good.

This is my brother he enjoyed his french fries, cheeseburger and chips as well as a chocolate milkshake :-)

Everyone is friendly here and the food is good. I enjoyed a cherry milkshake my brother had a chocolate milkshake they were excellent! :-) I like that burger boy is in the mountain it was a beautiful drive.

Chile Cheeseburger (Green)
Bryan V.

We were headed back home from a hike and stopped by this little spot off the side of the road. My girlfriend has been here before, so she knew about restaurant beforehand. We got a BLT and a Chile Cheeseburger with green chilies. We sat behind the building where they had picnic tables, which was nice because our dobermam was with us. My girlfriend loved her BLT and my burger hit the spot after our hike. The BLT had enough bacon and I would say this is one of the better green chilie burgers I've had in a while. The fries were also super good, they were nice and thick, crisp on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. The staff was super nice. We would definitely recommend this spot.

I don't know where to start if it was the outstanding customer service or the cook behind the grill making the delicious hamburger. The scenery is very beautiful out there and it is a nice family business but all I gotta say is that was the best green chili burger ever. !!!!! I highly recommend anyone driving past it. Stop and try it.

BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger w/ fries
M W.

Little local diner outside of Albuquerque with some friendly kids running the place (and bathrooms if you need them.) Here's the menu showdown: BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger vs. Chile Relleno Burger Winner: BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger - its flavor edged out the Chile Relleno with a sauce that had a nice little kick and a couple of onion rings for crunch. Plus bacon, lettuce, American cheese, pickles, and fresh tomatoes. Fries vs. Fries Winner: Neither. We both ordered fries and I had immediate regrets when I saw someone else's onion rings. The fries had a texture problem and we weren't quite sure why. Summary: Burgers weren't the best - the patties were really dry - but the flavor was there. We would definitely give them another go but try something else...maybe breakfast?

Double Chili Burger w/ Green Chili
Daniel D.

I remember hearing about this place long before Covid was a thing. The funny thing is I rarely find myself on that side of the mountain. Today I decided to head up to the crest and stopped in for some lunch before taking the long winding road up there. The staff was very welcoming. I will be honest I did not expect it to be busy. Needless to say I was in for a surprise. I settled with a double chili burger with a drink and fries. 20 bucks was the damage. After a long 30 min wait I was greeted by a mammoth slapped between two buns. I took my first bite and I was mesmerized by the cheese and juiciness of the patties. That burger packs a punch. It was the 4th of July in my mouth exploding with deliciousness! The fries weren't bad either. You know at first I wasn't sure what to expect. Although the price seemed steep at first, I will say it was worth it! I heard they had a mushroom burger so you can bet I'll definitely be returning! Thanks Burger Boy!

Relleno Burget
Kevin M.

This has to be my favorite burger spot so far in the Albuquerque/Sandia mountain area. The service was good and super friendly, and the barbershop is a small restaurant that caters to a quick bite if it is not busy. I got both the relleno burger and the green chile burger with double meat meat. The green chili burger has to be my favorite burger. I have had in Albuquerque. The relleno is a close second as it it was super cheesy and tasty. I will most definitely come here again!

Regular burger and large meal

I would definitely make a trip back here for a burger and fries!! The food was great and very tasty, i was starving and this definitely satisfied me and my partner! I ordered the regular cheese burger large meal and my partner ordered the jalapeño and bacon cheeseburger with fries. Both were so delicious and satisfied our hunger!! We stopped due to the construction but I am very happy we made the stop!! The customer service was great! The young male cashier was very friendly and helpful and the young lady that served our food was also very friendly and attentive! We will definitely be making a stop here every time!!! Thank you for the delicious food and the amazing service!!

Green chile cheese burger and onion rings

Great burger and onion rings. Definitely worth the drive from Placitas. There's a reason why it gets so busy

Wanted to love this family run business. We understand good food takes time, but 40 min for 2 burgers is just too long. They were large and looked great but we're dry. Not juicy at all. Maybe use a fattier meat! They looked beautiful and we're huge. One Chili, cheese burger (not too many chilies) and one chili relleno burger which had huge potential. Only a small slice of relleno with cheese not the whole thing which was way disappointing. Onion rings standard with a tempura style breading vs bread crumb. Fries standard. Friendly service and owner on-site which is always nice to see. Lunch was on the expensive at $35. Wife's combo onion ring / drink addition was $6.70 xtra. Cashier gave the impression there was no up charge for o-rings. I am rooting for this place because it is Patriotic, Americana with hard working people. Give them a shot.

Don't get me wrong, it has a charming atmosphere, but no. We won't be back. We went as 4 adults and a child. Our meals were over $85 and we only ordered fries with 2 of the burgers, as well as canned sodas instead of fountain drinks. First, they have 3 paper menus and very little space to stand and look at the main menu, so we ended up sharing one paper menu amongst the 4 of us. My daughter had a Red Chile Cheeseburger. She bit into a hard gray piece of something and nearly chipped a tooth! She said there were lots of chewy pieces and hard pieces. I had a Chile Relleno Burger as seen in the photos. The bottom bun was so soggy, it nearly stuck to the plate. I had to eat it upside down, which was mushy. The burger was big and juicy, but wasn't really special. There wasn't any seasoning, just beef. It must've been really busy. The tables were all dirty so we cleaned our own along with another patron. The trash was overflowing. It was just not the "Best Burger Joint" in Albuquerque experience we were expecting.

Can't believe it was barely our first time to Burger Boy! Definitely a great spot to stop at if you're driving through Cedar Crest, after a hike, or wanting to try a new burger joint! Made-to-order burgers were worth the (maybe) 20 minute wait (considering it was noon, and very busy)! Yummy! I will definitely be going back! Staff members were very friendly, good vibes, and restaurant had much more seating than I thought! Good little outdoor space to eat, too. Stop by!!

Pretty good overall! Had it twice while in town and I'd say it's a top notch place for the area. Burgers are Sandwiches are solid!
