Seriously, Tully's is a great place to get lunch, pick up ready-made meals to take home, indulge in sweets, or listen to opera (did he just say opera?). Yes, opera with real Italian dinners ... stay tuned to their social media for the dates. We love coming here for all of the above.

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.

I was excited to give it a try since gluten-free options can sometimes be difficult to find in Albuquerque. When we arrived, they weren't too busy. I looked over the menu and narrowed my choices down to The Kind sandwich or the Not'Chos with chicken. I explained to the person taking our order that I have a gluten allergy and asked about the ingredients in both items, as well as what precautions they take when preparing gluten-free sandwiches. Unfortunately, he really didn't have a clue. He had no idea about any thing I was asking. He did say everything is prepared in the same area and that the sandwiches all go into the same oven/toaster together. I was really disappointed to hear this. It's frustrating, simply offering gluten-free bread doesn't make an item safe for people who medically need to avoid gluten. The employee taking our order had no idea what cross-contamination precautions meant when I asked about them. After asking several questions, I decided that the Not'Chos seemed like my safest option. I was told they are placed in the oven on their own paper, so although I was still hesitant, I decided to give them a try. Unfortunately, I became sick shortly after eating them. My husband and daughter enjoyed their food, so I can't speak negatively about the food in general. However, based on my experience, I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone with celiac disease, a gluten allergy, or anyone who needs to strictly avoid gluten. I really hope they consider providing better employee training and putting proper cross-contact precautions in place, since they are advertising gluten-free options.

My wife got terrible food poisoning from a sub here. We order the pastrami sub, but she had greek dressing and i had ranch. Her dressing was warm, but she didnt think about that until a few hours later when she was vomitting for the next 3 days. They gave us a refund, but mistook us with another recent victim of food poisoning... Their insurance refused to pay for our medical bills because there is no way to really prove that you had food poisoning, but that was all that she ate that day. Luckly after our co pay we were only out about $40 for the visit and prescription. The doctors found a mass in her stomach which they attributed to the bad sub, and she was ill for about e weeks. Would not recommend. read more

Visited 12/36. As a former employee of Dion's, this location did not meet expectations at all. No one greeted me upon entering the store, the guy on register repeatedly looked at me while running back and forth between the front of store and sub area effectively getting nothing done. I stood there for about 5 minutes when the manager had to tell one of the other employees, who was standing around talking to other employees who were doing nothing and saw the line building, to hop on register.
