Lucky Goose RULES! Everything on the menu is delicious. The downtown location (the old Milton's Diner on Elm St & Central Ave on the old Route 66) is one of our favorite places to go treat ourselves to a delicious, satisfying and joyfully 100% vegan green chile "chz burger." Our favorite is the New Mexico Style Burger with regular fries and a Pepsi. Today we enjoyed the addition of a delightfully yummy chocolate oat milk shake. Yum, Yum, Yummy-Yummm yum!! Jess was our server today and she made us our first (very delicious) oat milk shake. Hip hip hooray! The dine in vibe rocks and the vintage couch hangout in the back by the original old rock wall lends a charm that is sadly not found in many cool places anymore. The light fixtures and the deco job comes together nicely blending a "now"-vibe with the charm and mellow-yellow-sheik with a mid-modern retro revival twist. The gift shop in the lobby area is really cool too! Go there and eat food and drinks and buy stuff! Go vegan! Yay, Lucky Goise! 5 stars! read more

Holy shit I'm vegan now. Not only have I been lactose intolerant my entire life, but red meat isn't feeling good anymore to eat. If I lived here, I would probably eat this at least once a week. What a treat and I will be back! Staff was friendly and food came out super fast. I scarfed that down very quickly! Would love to see some merch and would probably buy hats and shirts and a hoodie if they had them! read more

In search of vegetarian options and stumbled on this place. Super friendly service. Will visit again when in Albuquerque. The ambience was quiet given it was a Friday evening. Super proud of my decision to come here they sure did not disappoint. read more

I walked in... normally, used to be, other customers got, a welcome/hello. I got a look and sigh. Walked up to the counter. Sigh lady says "it'll be a few minutes." Ok. I peruse the menu, another customer drops their shake. Gonna be longer. That's fine, go help them. "No, I can take your order REALLY FAST." Well, I was looking at the menu, but cool to be rushed. I remember when the young lady that used to work there was at the counter. 6-8 people in line, greeted with a smile and Hi! Welcome in! There was a longer wait, but it was ok, because the service was good, and so was the food. Today? I'll never return. I spent over $15.00 including a credit card surcharge (a business owner that wants to take credit cards but can't be bothered to be a business owner and pay their bills.) I left a $5 cash tip - I figured I'd the business owner can't pay the 3% on a bad merchant account, they most likely aren't paying the staff livable wages... I sat down and put my gear down, and waited... for about 15 minutes, before this garbage salad that was falsely advertised as having toppings and 3 sliced chick'n strips. The entire salad didn't fill the bowl.? On the bottom were less than a teaspoon of diced tomatoes. In the entire salad there was ONE "fried onion." The lettuce was chopped like slop, there was barely enough chick'n to call it 1.5 slices. Absolute trash. For 15$ I ate my salad, listening as Morticia Addams' understudy pleasantly said good bye, have a nice day, et cetera to the customers who were leaving. I got up, threw my trash, walked out. Silence: The whole time I was in there, a cheap speaker was streaming some crappy 90s "radio friendly hip hop." When my salad was brought to me, even after explaining it's very hard to eat, or carry , a salad on a motorcycle, it arrived in a to-go/carry out, lid is RIGHT THERE,.Morticia helpfully pointed it out, a subtle hint that I wasn't a welcome guest. As I was gearing up to get on my motorcycle out comes our antagonist. Not to be polite or anything. To smoke or vape. I didn't stick around to smell which one she was doing in the doorway. I get it, lucky goose doesn't want my money. They've made it abundantly clear. That's fine. I'll go to Steelbender, where they have vegan options, and like that customers come on to give them money. I accidentally posted this review to the uptown location. I've never been, and will never be, to that location. This review was the knob hill location. read more

I didn't get to take pictures of the food because we were hungry lol but everything was sooo good! I got the egg & cheese biscuit and added bac'n and it was sooooo good! Definitely recommend getting that. There is only one person at the register so don't come in a rush but it is worth it! They are super friendly and the place is really cute read more

Amazing Amazing food! That Vegan chicken sandwich was the best vegan chicken sandwich I ever had! No lie. I added BBQ to mine. And the vegan hot dog was great too. Now the best and most delicious item I had was the Banana Pudding Milkshake!!! It's seasonal. The beautiful red hair lady (I think her name is Ellie) who helped me out with my order was so nice and kind. She informed me about the Hot Air Balloon fair going on in the area. I will definitely be visiting this place again on one of my road trips through New Mexico read more

Everything is vegan! So many good choices, it's hard to decide. We had the turkey coleslaw and the turkey club sandwiches today. And an order of wild fries (which is grilled onions and cheese sauce on top). It was all so delicious. The place was busy on a Sunday afternoon, service was friendly and food came quickly. read more

Never heard of this place before tonight. Family was driving through town headed to the airport in the morning. Arrived here 20 min before closing which I felt bad about and asked if we could still order to go. The red haired woman working the front was so friendly and accommodating. Took our order and it was ready in about 5 min. My kids love chicken nuggets but rarely ever finish a meal so I was excited as a 30+ year vegetarian that I could finish their food if they didn't. My wife and I got chicken sandwiches and the kids split a chicken tender and French fry order. Everything was great and we will definitely return. read more

I've seen this spot in Nob Hill for a minute, but never stopped in. I managed to convince a coworker to give it a try with me! Be prepared, if you don't know, or didn't notice, it is all plant based meals. The counter service was very nice and patient with us when we were deciding what to do in real time. We went ahead and tried the lucky burger and the lucky chick'n and split the two. Of course we got fries and topped our meal off with two shakes. They both tasted great in my opinion. I liked the crunch of the chick'n sandwich. I think for the lucky burger I would get an extra patty, but overall a good burger! They have quite a few other chick'n sandwich options, like bbq and buffalo and even a phantom rib sando that I want to try. I am not vegan, but I like to partake in all culinary options and Lucky Goose is a good option if you are opting to try something different. read more

After a very stressful day, I somehow ended up at Lucky Goose. I ordered some plant-based food to-go, bought some cool merch and tried their new pistachio shake (soooo delicious, please try this). Customer service was top notch, the entire vibe felt so cheery -- it brightened my day/was most definitely the highlight of my day. Thank you isn't enough. 5/5 stars. read more

I've had this place on my radar for a while so finally ordered delivery. I got the lucky burger and the wild style fries as well as the Cookies and Cream shake. I've had regular burgers in ABQ that weren't this good. I've never beeen a fan of Impossible meat but I couldn't tell at all in this delicious, good sized burger. The Wild Style fries are Similiary to Animal Fries and just as good. And I was only going to drink a little of the milk shake but drank the whole thing. Good value, especially for a vegan meal. I will definitely order from here again. read more

The 4 of us went as first timers! Parked in the lot and walked around to side! We waited our turn and an unfriendly young woman didn't even say hi! We asked a couple questions that annoyed her So we ordered sat down and hoped for the best. As we sat there we noticed the decor not so bad but run down looking! Our food arrived . The food there is not inexpensive! One person ordered the burger and fries! Two others a turkey sandwich fries and me a burrito. I think my burrito was the best they had! It was edible but lacking ... it literally had 3 potato pieces and maybe 1 tablespoon beans! It was served with an out of the bottle type hot sauce! The best thing they had was their bottled lemonade. The sandwich buns were terrible! It wasn't even a good vegan equivalent to fast food restaurants. Such a disappointment at any price. We won't be back. read more

I don't know how I could have missed that this place existed until a location appeared up off of Wyoming. That said, this review is for the Nob Hill location where I ended up for one of their Irish music jam sessions of all things! The place is a bit of a dual storefront with one side more loungey and the other side more table/chairs restaurant-y. You order at the counter and your food gets brought out to you. This place is vegan and has a variety of vegan 'fake meat' style options. I had the fries and the original chik'n with slaw, friends had the rib sandwich and the burger. Everyone raved! Only draw back with the slaw was that it did make the chik'n a bit soggy by the end of the sandwich because it was pretty saucy. But still absolutely delicious! The staff were very friendly. I highly recommend it, even if you're normally a meat eater. read more

When I say I want to be fully plant based, this is what I expect ALL of my food to taste like. I'm so sad I don't live in this state because this is by far the best vegan food I've had while dining out. First of all, the thin mint milkshake?! You had me a thin mints but you kept me after my first sip. I had to pause and make sure it was in fact plant based. Delicious! Then I had the spicy bbq burger. Again, shocked that the cheese wasn't dairy and the "meat" patties had me fooled. Honestly so good. So so sooo good. I can't wait to schedule another work trip here just so I can eat here again. Quick shout outs to the friendly staff and the cute vibes in the restaurant. I also love that they pay it forward. I'll be dreaming of this until I return. read more

Lucky Goose - Lucky Burgers and Fries - Vegan Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I don't often prioritize going out for burger type meals but I have been to Lucky Goose a couple times and loved it. The first time was in Feb 2023 and that time I liked the way the patties were prepared better as they were more crispy and well cooked. The second time I went in June 2025 was delicious but the patties were less crispy and I liked them less. Both times I LOVED the green chili pieces and lucky sauce on the fries and put them both on my burger as well. The green chili ,the lucky sauce and fries are the best part for me here-- SOOOO good. Their prices seem a little high to me but the food is really yummy. It's a casual place with counter service. A couple tables outside. When I have their crispy fries loaded with green chillies and lucky sauce in front of me I for sure feel like a lucky goose! :) read more

Lucky Goose - Green chili and lucky sauce fries are the best!!! - Vegan Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Overall it was good the food was good the restaurant was clean. I'd give this place 5 stars if it had more liveliness. The vibe felt like a library very quiet. The shake stole the show I'd go back for the shakes every week. I'm lactose intolerant I can't remember the last time I had a shake. The flavor wasn't weird or off putting like most dairy free desserts. We had sweet potato fries as well those were delicious had a nice crunch to them. The service was good very fast. I'd recommend this place for sure. read more

Let me start out by saying I've been aware of the lucky Goose for quite some time but had not thought of it when I'm going out... not until today. Though I'm not vegan I was very excited at the prospect of having a good meal that is vegan. Unfortunately, we had disappointing experience. Food: so-so... I had the triple patty, lucky burger, my partner had the double lucky double burger minus one patty. We shared the lucky fries. The total was just under $30. My partner eats light, but he did not realize how thin a single burger actually was. He said if he went back, he would definitely have the double patty next time because that's still not equal to one patty in most places. The triple lucky that I had was just messy. I ate it with knife and fork on the paper that covered the tray on which it was served. Between the messiness, the soft bun (not toasted) and having to use a knife & fork to eat it off a piece of paper covering the tray on which all the food was served was not a great eating experience. Finally, the french fries the lucky fries, was just the regular basket of fries with their lucky toppings. The amount of toppings was so light as to be ridiculous given the amount of the up charge. Service: Zero charm, Zero finesse! I, in principle, DO NOT ever leave a gratuity with my order on these iPads where the order is taken totaled and paid for. Simply put, tipping before service makes no sense to me. There were two females working the counter and serving the food. The only pleasant moment in all of it was when the female who took our order also served the table. She put the tray down and was very sweet in her presentation, which was brief. We both could not help thinking it might have been because we had the cash gratuity sitting out on the table. I have no way of knowing if that was it or not, but given the quality of interaction with these two females up to that point... I did address this with them both before we left. I feel like I was gentle, but also to the point. When a female apparently became so upset that she had remove herself and the second female hung in with a lot of bravado, making an absolutely insincere apology... Ending it with "I don't know what else to say". My response to that was "something with a little sincerity would be helpful". Ambience: the lounge area was very inviting, but unfortunately, when we entered into it, the gentleman behind the bar informed us that it was closing for the day. The dining area was more than sufficient comfortable no complaints. Apparently, we've missed the hey-day of the Lucky Goose because based on this experience, I would guess that it is on its way out. read more

Spoiled.... Downright spoiled are my hubby and I. My tummy issues got the best of me to the point where new doctor suggested going gluten free (among other instructions). Thankfully, the lovely people at Lucky Goose were more than accommodating (especially since I don't have celiac and don't have to worry about cross contact - and please be advised they cannot guarantee no cross contact but you can make that decision at your discretion based on your needs). The impossible burger was a treat that had me fooled. Even their cheese ... I had to ask to make sure I didn't need a Lactaid (). It was THAT tasty. In fact, we came back a second time after I got cleared to eat gluten again for a delightful re-try and the food was just as consistent (even the strawberry smoothie ) . The building used to be a hibachi place and hubby and I purposely selected a table under the vents, where Lucky Goose added hanging plants. There is colorful art on the wall and room was bright! 5/5 Will return read more

Lucky Goose - Lucky Burger with Gluten Free bread - Vegan Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We ordered 3 meals: NM Dawg, the spicy BBQ burger, and the spicy BBQ chick'n. We were excited to try it due to all of the good reviews. It was a takeout order, so perhaps that makes a difference. Went to pick up the order and there were two staff behind the counter. The one young woman was getting ready to leave and ignored me for 3-4 minute, until she was going out the door. There was no one else in the restaurant. As she was leaving she said "he'll take care of you." He was putting "shirts" in a plastic bag. At least that is what he said. I wasn't sure if it was garbage or not. The young man did get the order, but not sure why he had to look into the bag. It already had my name on it and I didn't tell him what was in the order. I wondered if he was upset with me because I asked him if he was going to wash his hands before getting. As we were leaving I saw a sign that said something about "kindness." I certainly did not feel that I was treated with any kindness or courtesy. The food was mediocre at best so we will not be going again. read more

Just popped in here for a quick lunch and had a yummy meal! I'm really glad there's a restaurant that meets everyone's dietary restrictions that also makes decent fast food. I got the lucky burger with gluten free buns and added cheese (vegan ofc) and green chile. We also shared some fries and those were pretty perfect if I'm being honest! I don't LOVE the taste of impossible (or any fake) meats but inside of a burger it was pretty good. The service was kind and quick too. It's located right on central in nob hill next to empire board games so if you're going there and want a quick, filling bite, then def stop by! It's also a good lunch spot even if you're not going to empire lol read more

Lucky Goose - Lucky Burger with Lucky Fries, NM style burger with Lucky Fries - Vegan Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I have not had a better fast food experience... maybe ever! I'm from LA originally, and we had big city vegan spots with highly competitive flavors and textures and lucky goose is the first vegan place in Albuquerque I've eaten at that matched the high quality and flavor I used to know in vegan food in LA. The "wild" fries were clearly meant to be a vegan replica of animal style fries at in and out a major fast food chain on the west coat / California. However, believe it or not, it actually put in and out to shame! I'm not even vegan. I would call myself 80% vegan so more like flexitarian and I felt like these were the best fries I've ever had! I added green chile to the wild fries and it was even that much more awesome. I hope the owner reads this and I'm able to let you know, don't listen to the nay sayers who say the menu is too expensive. The quality and care you put into the food shows. The lucky burger--- I got it wild style as well and added chile to it. It was the best vegan burger in Albuquerque and maybe top 3 vegan burgers I've ever had in my whole life when ordered this exact way. We tried the cookies and cream shake. Which is the best cookies and cream shake I've ever had, even better than ones made with cow milk... I was surprised. We also tried the matcha shake. It was pretty earthy, so my Partner loved it, the earthiness was a bit strong for my pallet but I still thought it was good. The buffalo chicken burger. This was good, I got it with slaw, it was good, I really liked it. This is the only item I would say that Vegos did a little more to my pallet. The reason I say that is because I felt like the one from lucky was a bit more dry. Vegos ranch was a bit more tangy and had a more realistic ranch flavor. But I still think it was good . The service was very friendly, I do have one more comment for the owner though. For me this wasn't an issue because I am usually pretty generous with tips. But some people may get concerned when they find out your pos is adding tip percentage on top of tax rather than the actual food total how it normally is. Again, I wasn't really phased by it, but I know there could be a lot of people that may not say anything but internally feel weird when they find out about it. read more

I'm always hesitant to try vegan junk food, because it can be hit or miss in flavour. I have tried Vegos, and although it was a cute spot, the food was quite greasy. I came to Lucky Goose worried about the same thing. I loved walking in to the adorable decor and artwork. Although it was nearly closing time, there were about 6 customers in the small dining space still. The cashier was friendly and gave good suggestions-- we ordered the buffalo chicken fries, lucky burger (the base burger), and lucky dawg (base hot dog). My dining partner is not vegan but even so, he was bowled over. It was a lot of food but we were glad for leftovers. Vegan hot dogs can be hit or miss these days but it had great snap and tasted pretty darn close to how I remember real mystery meat tasting. Loved all the fixings on top too. The burger was extremely filling with two smashed patties. The fries had just enough heat to make us sweat. Definitely recommend Lucky Goose and I'll be trying something new next time I'm in ABQ. read more

If you're craving a juicy burger, crispy chicken sandwich and tasty sweet potato fries, come on over here! One bite of our chosen sandwiches and everyone groaned with pleasure. And no one complained that it was all vegan because, ahem, pardon the pun, but it did taste like chicken. Seriously, the non-vegans were as surprised and delighted. And I was thrilled everyone got to enjoy good grindz. So much more on the menu that I'll just have to go back! read more

We had lunch at Lucky Goose today. When they had a food truck, it was parked in our neighborhood, but we never made it there. Lucky geese that we are, this was because they had opened a restaurant. I had the Lucky Burger and my wife had the Lucky Dog. We each had New Mexico fries with lucky sauce, vegan cheese, and green chile. It was great, and in a part of Nob Hill we like, with a lot of interesting shops and easy metered parking. The service was polite and very quick. The food was delicious. I really liked the lucky sauce. We will definitely come back! read more

Lucky Goose - New Mexico fries x 2, Lucky Dog, Lucky Burger - Vegan Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I'm so torn about whether to give them 3 or 4 stars. I have really enjoyed the tacos they had as a good truck, their fries and sweet potato fries, homemade sauces and chick'n fries. The burger wasn't bad and the chick'n sandwich is fine but nothing amazing. I love that everything is vegan, and it's hard to find vegan junk food. Downsides- the prices are very high for just the sandwiches, as fries are separate. It's not a lot of food with just the sandwich. The shakes are fun flavors that rotate, but there's something about the flavor of the vegan ice cream they use that I don't really like (and I really do like other vegan ice cream I buy). This last time I went the wait wasn't too long but still awhile, and the other times I've gone the wait has been very long. I support them and want them to continue, just had to share my honest thoughts positive and negative. read more

A fantastic spot for plant-based food! It's sometimes tough to find good vegan food in Albuquerque but the Lucky Goose delivered. The burgers were good, the sandwiches were good, but the lucky goose fries were some of the best. It's like In-n-Out Animal Style fries but honestly much better! The milkshake was much better and one of the best we've had... even for non-vegans! read more

Today I took a friend to Lucky Goose for lunch and we had the best cheeseburgers, fries, and milkshakes (pistachio!). I suppose it's possible that I'd have noticed a difference in taste if I'd had a cheeseburger made with beef and a milkshake made with ice cream from a creamery. I wouldn't bet on it, though. I would definitely have noticed when I got sick a day later. It's so much fun to be able to go for tasty food and know that my body will be fine with anything on the menu. read more

Wish I could give them a better rating, but after YEARS this business has the same problems. Food takes a long time to come out for a burger joint (it's gotten better, but we've waited 45 minutes in the past!), service has never been stellar, and prices just keep going up. Today might be the last time we come to this establishment and we've been patrons since they were in a truck. $70 for burgers and the person at the counter was consistently rude. I want to give servers a pass (I've been there), but there's no reason to be rude for people on a slow night! I was in a really good mood when I arrived here tonight and I left feeling a little dim. Wish I could recommend this place because we have so few establishments for vegetarians, but there needs to be a LOT of work done. read more
