Four stars instead of 5 because they were out of quite a few things - like fried pickles and a few other things. I got a side of sweet potato fries and they were so tasty - air fried I believe. Also got chicken wings. I almost never eat wings but because they were out of what I wanted I got the wings. They too were likely air fried. Really very good. Prices are pretty fair. Never quite busy - kind of off the beaten path location. Good parking.

My first visit to this restaurant occurred on December 2, 2025. There is plenty of parking…read moreavailable. There's good signage. The restaurant is tucked away a bit from the road so it may be a little hard to see on your first visit. My dining companion and I arrived at 11:30 so we were a little ahead of the noon time rush. Friendly staff greeted us and seated us. Very interesting decor. If you lean toward the artistic side, you will see touches that will remind you of the infamous meow wolf. It's a focused menu. I went for the classic burger. They call their fries Spudnik and they have a very interesting cut. The potato shape is like a broad, curling wedge, but these are not curly fries. I asked for the smashed burger and it came out with a nice crispy touch. I enjoyed the blue cheese dressing. The brioche bun is very tasty. I would rate this Burger as tops.

Wow.... If there is ever a spot to spend your money on in Albuquerque it's this place. I never…read morereally expect much from Albuquerque food places as majority of the time it's a disappointment and waste of money. NOT THIS PLACE!!! The quality of fries you receive here are by far better than any other place, it's not your regular skinny, soggy, no flavor, no topping fries. Let's dive in to it, Atmosphere - Walking into the bang bang fries it's like walking into a hole in the wall with old school booths and a lot of history. Lighting was dim which created a great ambience something out of a John wick movie of hotel scenes. Menu options - Small options 8 items to choose from but that's the part!!! There is an option to choose to build your own fries but i do not suggest that, as Taren current creations are just freaking amazing!! We ordered the Japanese Curry and Enchie Fries , sweet potato marshmallow and were not disappointed!! Quantity / Quality / Price - Its been a long time since I have encountered a place in Albuquerque especially after COVID that is off the charts in these 3 category. Quality of the food is top notch, the raw ingredients that goes into it are not your normal cheap Walmart brand frozen fries but something similar to 5 guys fries but better!! The chicken for the Japanese curry actually tasted like chicken and not all coated in flour!! Even half way through (15min in) demolishing our food I noticed that the fries were still crispy in the middle and actually had flavor still, this will probably due to how she layered the sauce from the bottom, middle, and top portion. I must admit if you are ever sad or disappointed in spending $$$ money on food or wasting all your calories on something this won't disappoint. After everything we were still unable to finish two items for 4people. Return Date - 2-3 weeks. I rate restaurants not by stars but by when I would return to them for my next visit. You have heard of the expression I can eat this everyday but how many of us actually do so? In my books 2-3 weeks is the highest ranking I can give and be sure that I will be coming back with more friends to be trying the rest of the menu!! Albuquerque!!! One last word of advice get there before 6PM if you want to try this place because they SELL OUT QUICK!!! Or else you will have to come back to next day.

I dont see a need for triple unless you really want them extra breaded. I did forget to make it have French fries so I reviewed potato chips. The potato chips and ranch and BBQ sauce clearly all house made! Yes we spent 65 on 2 souvenir cups and 2 meals but it was one of the best days of our lives. The sharks and fish swimming by while you eat made the setting even nicer. It was clean as well. I appreciate that. Thanks Shark Reef Cafe!

We had heard about a converted industrial site (used by the railroads), that became a food hall…read more We decided to check it out. It's got something like a dozen different food outlets to please everyone. There are a couple of bar setups, too, that looked like fun. We got tacos, and some Vietnamese dishes and enjoyed them a lot. The place has plenty of tables, an upstairs area, and a large screen tv to take in while you dine. ... we enjoyed the experience so much that we went back a second night, and got noodle dishes, poke bowls, and a salad bowl. (We took these to go and went up the sandia tram and ate at picnic tables overlooking the city) Everything we ate was really good, and reasonably priced. And there are very many vegetarian options, and at least a few vegan ones, too. People say parking can be a hassle, but we didn't experience that. But the lot is small for the space size, so I can see how it could be an issue.

Q: uite an extensive range of food options here, like Italian pasta, tacos, German food, poke bowls, sushi, waffles, pastries, fried chicken, sandwiches, salads, and Mediterranean. You won't be left dehydrated either, either stands for frozen lemonade, custom old fashioneds, specialty dirty sodas and milkshakes, and Little Bear coffee bar. Our party had frozen lemonade, a tuna poke bowl (a little light on tuna and heavy on seaweed), California roll, and creamy lemon chicken pasta. The pasta was flavorful and a hefty serving. I also enjoyed one of the best iced vanilla lattes I've ever had at Little Bear (balanced, flavorful, not overly sweet).

My wife actually preferred her food here over the well regarded New Mexican restaurant we went the previous day. I really liked my sandwich with its kiss of heat.

Only the other one in the South Valley (where we never go) has them. The tv commercials didn't say that. I did let the servers know this bc I felt it was false advertising. We got a Flight of 4 different beers and "settled" on a fried fish w salad which was ok and their grilled catfish tacos which you had to eat w a fork bc they were too messy to pick up w your fingers.. They tasted ok but the salsa and a pink sauce (?) helped to give them more flavor. The atmosphere was ok and the Friday evening crowd was arriving. We ate inside and our server, Sophia, was very good. It didn't take long to get our dinners except my partner's salad took forever! The salads are included w the meals. My salad was different and good which was a Blackeye pea, corn, & more ingredients. My experience there was disappointing since I wanted ribs and not "soggy" fish tacos. I might go back for the beer only.
