Good food but overpriced. Wish there more options for food under $15 a meal. Your staff is nice and the atmosphere is great

Nothing was BAD but everyone didn't like something about their dish. I even ended up having to reorder and pay again for my son's food. Left hungry... Guess we'll grab something elsewhere when we're done with our other plans. read more

Other than my blueberry pancakes were burnt the food was okay. Got busy right after we arrived on Saturday at 11:30am. Would not recommend the juice drinks. The pineapple one was not good. The burrito was average size and was good. Typical indoor interior. read more

One of my preferred Flying Star locations in Albuquerque. They always have friendly staff, a large dining room with lots of tables and power outlets, and consistently delicious food. They have a decent size parking lot and some surrounding street parking, but can get full especially on the weekends. If you're in a rush, they have a good mobile app to make ordering and using rewards easy. Enjoy and happy branching! read more

I must stop here for a bowl of pozole! I recommend that you call first bc the other location didn't have it today. The pozole is so flavorful, tender chunks of pork, hominy, onions and tortilla chip strips. I love the lemon wedge - adding lemon juice makes it even better. $15 for a bowl with two small flour tortillas is the perfect amount! Cute restaurant, plenty of parking and an extensive menu! Definitely recommend and will return! read more

Food is decent. Desert is very good. And the service is always fine. But wow are they pricey! If you go for dessert (we are talking a piece of cake and coffee) $16. Also, they haven't seemed over-clean the last few years. Tables are often sticky and the floor consistently looks gross. read more

Very cool Place to hang out and get work done or chat with your friends. Solid offering for food and the fruit drinks were great. I will definitely go back to try some more items on the menu. read more

I ordered a bread pudding and asked the girl to heat it up and she said we don't do that on to go orders unbelievable

This is a great place to hang out in the morning, drink endless cups of coffee, maybe do some work. The food is quite good.

The restaurant was filthy. I took my son there for lunch... we ordered the French dip and crispy chicken sandwich with iced teas. The French dip was like eating beef jerky on a bun and the crispy chicken sandwich was oil soaked and flavorless. However, the iced tea was great. our meal was $50... ‍ read more

Got a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon on it and a side of fries. They didn't put the the bacon on the sandwich but in it's own container and didn't even add the fries to my order. read more

Awful Avocado toast. I had to wait about thirty minutes and the toast was soggy and the egg was hardboiled. I mentioned to the person at the counter that I wanted a to go cup for the tea. I I only ate 1/4 and did not want a refund but wanted to let them know about the eggs etc. she just had a blank stare. Maybe she thought I was going to try to get money back but some acknowledgement would have been great. read more

Flying Star Café - Chopped Chef salad - Cafes Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I was tired of eating at the hotel during my Covid era work visit to Albuquerque. So I ventured out. I am a retro diner fiend and this place caught my eye. Glad it did. Order at the counter, get your number and wait for your plate. The food is upscale diner good. Fresh ingredients, cooked to order. Nice sized helpings. Came out pretty fast! The French dip I had was packed with beef. The au jus was plentiful - I hate little cups. I want it to soak that bread! And their slaw was creamy tart and tasty. But I going back for breakfast. The lunch menu was tasty and the coffee made to order is a bonus. However the breakfast looked to die for! Look, it's not on a top 10 list or a Triple D show. But this is a solid diner experience. read more

Usually I am a big fan of flying star, but this busy left me underwhelmed. The food took about 20 minutes to get to the table after ordering. I had the fish and chips and thought it was just alright. My partner had the rise and shine which fell apart before he was able to take a single bite. It was fairly busy but the waitstaff did a good job keeping tables clean and anticipating needs. Overall a nice casual place but a bit overpriced for the experience. read more

Flying Star Café - Fish and chips - Cafes Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Multiple tables weren't cleaned- no one in sight was cleaning the tables so new people will literally sit in a filthy table and move dirty dishes on the edge of the table. We waited 30 minutes to get our food originally. We heard the server with blue hair yelling at the kitchen staff that it's not her fault. Come to find out, the egg on my husband's avocado toast fell off. My husband ordered an iced mocha- tasted like regular coffee. We asked the same server if we can get it redone, 20 minutes passed by no iced mocha was sent to our table. We left with awful service. read more

I would of been a regular customer if I lived in Albuquerque. I love the ambiance of this restaurant and I'm glad me and my coworker found this place during a travel job. Portions of food are very generous. I couldn't deny dessert after my lunch because all the cakes and pastries looked so good. Definitely left a satisfied customer. So sad they're so far away. I will have to visit again when I'm in town again. read more

Flying Star has a nice variety to choose from...including vegan options. And of course there is the fabulous bakery case (I love the Greek yogurt cheesecake and the hubby loves their chocolate chip cookies). This isn't our usual Flying Star location. I thought it was good, but the hubs said he liked the food at the other location better. Some of the prices are a bit high, but how can you place a value on amazing chocolate cake? I say money is no object when it comes to dessert. The atmosphere is casual, hip and chill, all at the same time. You can enjoy a latte and the internet, while ignoring everything around you. You can people watch with a delish batch of spicy buffalo cauliflower. Or you can swoon with your sweetie, indulging in a decadent serving of bread pudding. This place is a winner. read more

Came in for a luncheon with co-workers. Heard a lot about this place so was interested to try. You have to order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. The food was actually pretty good. My only complaint is for the price they don't give you a whole lot but what they did give you it was good. They have a ton of desserts so if you are tempted you can give it a try. I didn't so I can't offer you any opinion on it. But they look good. read more

This is an iconic cafe and definitely a representative place of the New Mexican cuisine. Nothing like consuming local New Mexican food and coffee served by the friendliest staff you could find around. From traditional New Mexican breakfast items like huevos rancheros and breakfast burritos to seasonal menu items like their sausage cavatappi al forno, you will not be disappointed and you will be surprised by the food this place has to offer. You will enjoy interesting coffee drinks like their mexican latte (my favorite) and their caramel dulce. Interesting tip: they have one of the best bagels you could find in town. This places is absolutely versatile too: I have been to this place both in business lunch meetings as well as regular catch up meetings with friends. read more

I do not understand all the one star reviews. I've been here twice this holiday weekend, and it is not a one-star place. At all, period. Food was really good, the place is clean, and it has a good NM vibe. Staff are friendly and prompt. read more

Ok, Im warning you.... It's almost impossible to choose an item from this menu. Everything is amazing. The items are thoughtfully prepared and you can taste it!! If you're in the mood for breakfast try the turkey green chili sausage patties. Life changing!! Thank can't wait to come back and try something else. Also the coffee is perfect. read more

I miss the old days and Flying Star's old days as well. My friend and I ordered separately but had same number. Hers came 15 mins before mine. The tacos were missing avocado, though they were more than willing to get me some slices when I asked. The Caron tortillas were dry and stale. The garnish minimal. Shrimp dry also. My friend loved her blueberry pancakes. read more

I was told that there green chile cheeseburgers are fabulous. So I went over there to try it with my son. It was a little bit on the dry side and overall it was just ok. I have the sweet potato fries and they were good. I can't remember what it was my son had. It was some kind of bread with turkey, swiss cheese, and green chile. He could not finish the last part of his sandwich and give it to me. That was fabulous. read more

I will try to pick up or dine in because delivery (with any service but especially their app) is a crap shoot. I enjoy the food there but they have literally never gotten a delivery right. I always check no utensils. Not a fan of plastic and we are at home & don't need it. Why have an option of "NO utensils" if you IGNORE the choice every single time. Last night it was just me. One dish. I, as always, checked no utensils knowing they would send. They sent 3 sets. The food was packaged sloppily and spilled. Last time I ordered my wife got something she didn't order and I got a half order when I ordered a full order. If you check "Roll" you will not receive it. Maybe text your delivery driver and have them check and correct your order in the store. Seriously. Flying Star. Save yourself money by not sending out plastic table wear etc when the customer does not want it. Save the planet the unnecessary burden. Pay attention. read more

I was the only person in line. There were 2 register staff taking orders. I watched as one of the register staff finished with his customer. Then looked around. Then he played with the eclairs. I watched as he moved some plates to the line and chatted up the food runner for a few. He washed a tea pot and cup and after about 10 minutes of standing there waiting to be greeted by him I left. read more

I stopped for a burger since theirs are the best burgers in the city. My problem was not with the food, although my burger was significantly more rare than I'm comfortable with. My problem was the bugs! After I finished eating, I picked up my satchel bag and it was covered in ANTS!! I thought I'd swatted them all off but they're still lingering an hour later. read more

We came here this afternoon to meet a friend while we were in town. Looking for a local place to grab a coffee, we decided on flying star. We all ordered coffee (2 mocha lattes and a cappuccino with vanilla syrup) and a variety of sweet treats (salted caramel chocolate blondie, pea an pie and an apple jumble). The service was friendly and convenient. They brought our drinks and food to the table. I really enjoyed my blondie. It was delicious! However, my mocha latte tasted more like a hot chocolate than a latte. All in all, I would return again. This is a great little spot to meet a friend or do some work. Opt for the food over the coffee ;) read more

The food is consistent and good. They have the curbside pickup down. The Menaul location does not have outdoor seating, but Juan Tabo does, and that feels safe and is great for a meet up with my elderly parents. The loss of a star is due to their unimpressive side roll. read more
