Boy, am I glad we did. We had the great pleasure to have Clarisa C serve us. What a delight! Very knowledgeable with what's on tap. We tried a few samples and I decided on Fields of Rye and hubby had Slice of Hefen. Both paired well with our meal, Green Chili Tuna melt and Southwest Cobb Salad. Clarisa was kind and patiently listened to hubby s list of Dad Jokes. I sure hope she's there when we pass through again. You're the best Clarisa!

This is my ABQ Beer Passport review for Rowley Farmhouse Ales (RFA). (DISCLAIMER: This visit was on…read more8/23/26. We went and saw Joe Samba, The Movement, and Pepper at the Bridge/Santa Fe Brewing and hit RFA beforehand. I forgot about this review but didn't want to skip reviewing RFA! They have since announced that they are changing locations and the new location promises to be better all around!) Have wanted to try RFA and sample some of their offerings. They didn't disappoint. RFA is SERIOUS about their craft. A tremendous amount of RFA as well as other regional brews to try. They curate their beer menu much similar to a fine restaurant puts together their wine cellars. Crazy that a brewery this small offers so many options! We were told their food was also very good, so we ordered the recommended green chile burgers w/ fries, a tuna salad sandwich and a Greek quesadilla. All were phenomenal! Service was very good. Their tiny taproom didn't have an available table so we sat on the patio. It was a tad hot but we enjoyed the vibe for sure. We tried Every Brewery Has A Paul, Stalker, and Fields of Rye farmhouse ales, and some Hyside Nordic Blonde ales. All traditional farmhouse style.

We almost left after…read moresitting at a table for awhile because we weren't sure we had a server - they seemed very short staffed. But the seating options were good - they had both patio and indoor tables, plus a bar to sit up at. There was a stage in the corner so I'm assuming it's a lot more fun and lively when they have a music night. I ended up getting a flight to be able to taste a few of their beers but unfortunately didn't love any of them. I probably liked their brown ale the best. They do have a pretty wide selection, and also have cocktails and wine, so there's a little something for everyone.

If you are looking for the perfect Santa Fe "vibe," this is exactly where you need to be! The atmosphere is absolutely electric yet incredibly welcoming. With husband and son, we enjoyed the industrial-chic interior, there is a sense of community here that you just don't find everywhere. It's the kind of place that makes you want to stay for "just one more" round. While the beer list is impressive, I have to give a special shout-out to their Root Beer. It was absolutely delicious--crisp, flavorful, and the perfect treat. It's so refreshing to find a brewery that puts just as much love into its craft sodas as its ales! Thank you to the staff for the hospitality. I'll definitely be back soon when I return to Santa Fe!

The one bartender is really great. They all are but one (K-manager) did not want to make a drink I…read moretypically get. I've been here a few times and they remembered my order which is nice. I usually would get a margarita, as soon as I sat down at the bar, she said no margaritas today. Not even a hello etc. They make them from scratch so I don't know what the problem was.... I understand it was busy, and I can wait, but that just was a bit offsetting and disappointing. There has been two times she's forgot about my drink, she apologized but I just don't feel too welcome at times. The food is great, I only came for the summer for an internship and this is where I liked to come, but had started to try other places considering. A day or two after the other bartender, I forgot her name she was sweet, made the margarita and said there should have been no reason it wasn't made for me that day. I still enjoyed going there, the margaritas are great the food is as well. I will go back, but I'd appreciate a little more less of being ignored, just because I'm by myself or not a male. Regardless I'll be back sometime for the food and it is a nice cute place. And shout out to the bartender and other staff.

Stopped in today on Father's Day for lunch as we're staying in town for the night. Not many options…read moreon a weekend in Los Alamos, so options were limited. We made the wrong choice. There were 10 tables occupied around 1:00 and all but 3 tables were eating their food, but we still waited 25 minutes to order after we got our drinks. I had to ask the young man hosting to find our appetizer and waitress after 20 minutes. 3 of us had fries with our entrees and they were soggy, greasy, and so salty that none of us ate them. Our son who loves cheeseburgers said his tasted funny, our daughters chicken nuggets tasted like the fish my wife ordered, and my Rueben was dry and chewy because the meat was reheated on a flattop instead of steamed like it should be. No one in the kitchen seems to have a clue how things should be done in a restaurant. I could go on, but what's the point. The only thing I'll remember about this place was bad food and the $100 we threw in the garbage. If I had the chance to have a redo, I'd go down the street and eat at Sonic, and Sonic sucks.

This restaurant has been a great place for me to squeeze in as a solo diner for quite a few years. This evening was superb. So amazing that I had to take photos and send to my friends and say, "Eat Here". I had seared crusted salmon with some delicate fresh veggies like baby garden peas and on a bed of quinoa. Dessert was impeccable but light and flavored perfectly. Coconut ice cream with fresh berries and coconut crumble. There was an amazing presentation on both items but not too much to over adorn great flavors. So I say to you "Eat Here!"

We…read morewent for Taco Tuesday; you can get $2 beef tacos, which many members did and said were very good. However, I decided to go with an appetizer I've never tried, the Bang Bang Shrimp, which was dynamite! You get four very large, crispy shrimp in a sweet-and-spicy sauce, though I didn't find it spicy, if that's a concern for some. The sauce was very tasty; the shrimp had great flavor, were plump and tender, and they were indeed crispy. This went very well with the arugula under the shrimp. I'd order this again in a second. I then had two tacos à la carte: Baja Fish beer-battered cod and Carnitas. Both were very large and excellent. The pork on the Carnitas was indeed crispy as it should be, and the cod was perfectly fried and delicious. My wife had the Asian Tuna Noodle Crunch Bowl: seared tuna, lo mein noodles. The dressing was superb; the Tuna was perfectly seared raw, and all the items that came with the salad (mango, red cabbage, daikon radish sprouts, kale crunch, edamame, cilantro, peanuts, toasted sesame) made for a lovely and delicious meal. Our server, Tony, did a fantastic job of keeping us all happy. My only 'complaint' was that Boxcar doesn't serve their amazing Brussels sprouts, or at least not all the time. Not on the menu. I told Tony and the manager how much I love them and was told it may come back as a special from time to time. Man, the Boxcar Brussels sprouts are amazing! Boxcar has very, very good food, and I would usually avoid what appears to be a 'sports bar,' but James Beard Foundation-recognized Chef Eric Stumpf will please the foodies every time. What is nice is that Boxcar has several seating areas, so if you're into food and not the 'bar scene,' they can seat you in an area that is quiet.
