    Staff were very friendly and attentive. Orders were taken quickly & efficiently. Building had lots of parking, but not recommended for RVs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior was very nice, old school cafe look.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food had a great taste & plenty of it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very much an older clientele.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of room for a large group, if you call ahead[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a busy place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Give them a shot.

    Christy Mae's is another New Mexico classic that brings back wonderful memories for me. As a child, I remember the little treasure chest where you could pick out a small toy after your meal, and that sense of nostalgia always comes rushing back when I dine here as an adult. I especially enjoy ordering the classic grilled cheese and soup--perfectly named the Cold Day Warmer. Their spiced iced tea is another favorite of mine. The appetizers are solid as well, particularly the chips and queso and the fried combo with mozzarella sticks and zucchini. The cornbread is delicious, and the burgers are consistently good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While prices have gone up over the years and we don't dine here as often as we once did, I still appreciate the classic old-country atmosphere, complete with vintage memorabilia lining the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is generally consistent, which adds to the overall comfort and familiarity of the experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Christy Mae's remains a place that feels like home, blending good food with cherished memories.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Hubby and I came on a cold evening. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wanted comfort food, and we got a warm hug in the cozy down home dining room with Cracker Barrel Style vibes, but unique to Christie's[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We were served by a young, personable and attentive waiter who confirmed the chicken pot pie was as excellent choice. Everything was fantastic! 5/5 will return

    I lived in Albuquerque for ten years before moving to Los Angeles. This week I worked in Albuquerque, so I decided to visit my favorite restaurants, if they were still there. Christy Mae's is still there, still wonderful, and still a favorite. I used to eat at this wonderful place once a week and I wish I could still do that. The service is always great and efficient. There is definitely something on this menu that will satisfy you, because Christy Mae's specializes in comfort foods like chicken pot pie, chicken fried steak, breakfast, and most anything else you would want. I get either the chicken pot pie or the Le Chicken (chicken salad with nuts, celery, and sliced grapes) on a buttery soft croissant. I paired this with the green chile chicken stew and potato salad for a completely delicious and filling meal. Of course I have to have dessert and the peanut butter pie spoke to me. Loudly! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is cute and country, a bit like a local Cracker Barrel, but much MUCH better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The prices are quite reasonable so you can take the entire family for a satisfying meal. You simply cannot go wrong at Christy Mae's. Enjoy!

    I went here for lunch on September 16, 2025. My first visit. There's a lot of parking available and good signage. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside there are nice big windows resulting in lots of natural light.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is friendly and accommodating. The menu is an interesting blend of American diner food with Mexican food choices. The special today was tuna melt, and I had it with a side of potato salad. My dining companion had a very lovely sandwich called the harvest. You can see from the photos, that it's stacked high with lots of different vegetables and she described it as delicious. The tuna melt was nicely done and I really enjoyed the potato salad. It had a little bit of celery in it to give us some crunch and interest. Prices are reasonable.

    Ordered the Jane's Way chopped steak ( this is 1/3)  Delicious! I went and picked it up. It was so warm and so fresh when I got home!!

    Delicious as always! Super consistent and great ownership, and management! The staff is all friendly and super amazing. I have never had a bad experience and have been going for 30 years plus.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Christy Mae's serves up exactly what you'd expect from an All American diner![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friends and I were craving a cozy meal, and we all came for the chicken pot pie. We stopped by on a Friday evening and received prompt and friendly service. Even though Christy Mae closes relatively early (~8pm), our group appreciated the warm welcome and hospitality from start to finish, despite arriving later than we hoped. By the time we placed our order, Christy Mae's only had one chicken pot pie available, which I was lucky to enjoy as an out-of-state guest. My two friends ordered the Turkey and Green Chile Pot Pie, which our server suggested and spoke highly of! Portions were huge, and our meals were well priced. If I could change anything, I'd recommend more seasoning, but overall, I left very satisfied!

    Had a rebate thru the upside app. So I decided to give it a try. They have a pretty good size menu. I got the chicken fried steak with corn on the cob and mashed. It was delicious and came out pretty fast. The service was excellent and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place was clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Cool old signs

    I had the lighter side half le chicken croissant sandwich & cup of green chili chicken soup. Was so good. I had good service. The waitress was so nice refilling my water with lemon and doing my takeout order.

    If you like a home cooked meal, this is the place to go. It's just like going to my grandmothers for a Sunday meal.

    If you are in Albuquerque and craving a solid banh mi, CODA Bakery is a great spot to check out. I…read moreordered the classic banh mi dac biet, and it absolutely delivered. The cold cuts were flavorful, the bread was fresh, and the meat to bread ratio was just right since I like more meat than bread. This is an excellent option for a quick lunch, but I would recommend staying to eat if you can. The decor is simple, the space is clean, and there are a few tables available. It does get busy during the lunch rush, but the line moves quickly and is well worth the wait. While the banh mi definitely steals the show, there are plenty of other options on the menu. Their banh cuon, thin rice noodles filled with ground pork and wood ear mushrooms, was good, though still second to the sandwiches. They also offer pate chau, a flaky puff pastry filled with pork pate, including a New Mexico style version with chicken and green chile. They have a variety of Vietnamese desserts like che, which I did not get a chance to try this time. My coworker loved their traditional Vietnamese hot coffee. I do not drink coffee, but I did enjoy one of their smoothies, which was refreshing and delicious. Overall, CODA Bakery is a go to spot for authentic Vietnamese flavors and one of the best places in Albuquerque for banh mi.

    The food is great here. I never knew. I had the sandwich and it was great…read more It is very busy here, staff just want you make your order and just move on. It is located in a sketch area but inside was good. I would come back. There are no fountain drinks you can get in a container or they will make you a Thai tea

    There's nothing to dislike about this multigenerational, family owned authentic Italian deli. My…read moregrandparents took me there when I was a small child in the early 80s. I've been going there ever since. A few years ago, they added a bakery. It is chock full of delicious cookies, eclairs, cannolis, and you can even get a wedding cake there. Most recently, I went with some coworkers for lunch and ordered the Bella Mozzarella sandwich. Beautiful, thick slices of fresh mozzarella, loaded with tomatoes and basil. The bread was super fresh, and the potato salad was very flavorful. My coworker got an eclair on our way out. I just had a bite and it was divine. The older gentleman behind the counter was courteous and friendly. The atmosphere is laid-back, and the side wall is covered in shelves that contain imported pasta and various other products from Italy. There's a freezer case filled with premade meals and meat. If you haven't been there, it's definitely worth a stop

    I've been going here for almost 40 years - not sure what it's going to take to get it through my…read morehead that Tully's just isn't to my taste. Over the years I keep going back, about once a year: I've had their sandwiches, their pastries, their pies . . . all kinda "meh" and all priced pretty reasonably but not inexpensively. Sandwiches give you a lot of everything . . . except flavor. Pastries are . . . fine. Pies are . . . fine, and kinda small (and not inexpensive, maybe reaching towards pricey); it's the kinda thing you are willing to pay for in order to bring it to a gathering, only to find almost no one bothers to eat it. And so you don't bother. The cookies are pretty good, actually. (And, yes, I know Italian delis - my Italian grandparents brought me to them in New York when I was a child. However, I'm not judging Tully's against these (as in "it's not as good as Back East"), I'm just saying it never really turns my crank.) Today I had a hot chicken, cheese,onion and pepper sandwich, the Carmela. It was a lot of food. But . . . not a lot of flavor. A whole lot of drippy mess in the bottom of my basket, though: water absolutely sopped through the (completely unmemorable tasting) bread loaf and pooled at the bottom of my basket as I ate in. The potato salad served alongside was fine - like what you'd get at Albertson's. The chicken was tender and . . . essentially without flavor, not even salt. There had clearly been a little marinade (I could sense some oregano and maybe garlic in there) but man could this thing have used about five times as much seasoning and then a healthy dose of a vinegar/garlic/oregano dressing on top of it. Bland. Lots of food in that $17 (almost $25 with tip) sandwich, but not a lot of enjoyment. I've had other Tully's sandwiches (both for here and to-go) that were better, but I can't really recall any of them . . . and I _never_ rush back. Like I said, this is a place I think about ("Hey, I'm right nearby; I should try Tully's again!") about once a year . . . and then, meh. To be fair - I believe that I am pretty out in left field on this take: Tully's is popular and always hopping. Get here early unless you want to stand in line. I only had to wait about three minutes to order, but by the time I left at noon this Friday there was a line to order all the way from the counter to the door. In terms of the room, it's a deli. Reasonably well set out with a decent amount of seating set out well, as well as some outside seating that you might want to try when it's not in the nineties. You order at the counter, pay, go get your own fountain drink (they also have some beer and wine, which they will serve you), find a seat and they'll bring it to you. When you're done, you bus it yourself. Pleasant staff - I don't regret tipping, although they don't do much. (As others have mentioned, if you get a cup of water, Tully's generously gives you a decent sized Solo cup - another plus.) It's fine. If you go, at least get yourself some cookies - they're pretty good.
