    NM Green Chili Cheeseburger
    James G.

    Best handmade burger in Albuquerque is here at the Oak Tree Cafe! Nice, big burger, green chili, and the fries are EXCELLENT. Service was fast and great! I will work my way down the entire menu! NM Green Chili today; Janet's Bacon Green tomorrow!

    Casual sports bar atmosphere and motif. Seat yourself and order at the end of the bar but service is friendly. Food is bar food and sandwiches, happens to be just what we are looking for this afternoon! Give it a

    Bobby's Chicken Sandwich with macaroni salad
    Maria-Christina S.

    I've only been to Oak Tree Cafe once. I happened to be in the area around lunch time and the menu looked good so I stopped in with a co-worker. We'd called the order in so it was boxed and ready when we got there. I liked the variety of the side selections to my chicken sandwich and price point seemed fair. The restaurant was busy so there were only a couple of places to sit inside. It was quick and the Bobby's Chicken Sandwich with macaroni salad I had was good. I love little details like the brand on my bun. Hopefully I'll get to stop in again and try more of the menu.

    Swiss gobbler sandwich and green chile cheese fries

    Good food but slow service. I came for lunch, and there was a long line to order food. I was expecting fast service, given they are only open during the lunch hour. The burgers don't come with a side, only the sandwiches, which was odd to me. The burgers also only come in 1/2 lb size, which is too much for me for lunch. I liked the green chile cheese fries, but there may be only enough for one or two servings. I ordered some to go with a burger, and it was definitely a smaller portion. I enjoyed my sandwich and the macaroni salad, but it was nothing amazing, nor did the green chile in the sandwich or fries have any bite or flavor. I may come again to try other menu items, but during the weekend when I have plenty of time to wait for the food to be made. I wish they had more local taps as well and open for dinner hours to come by after work.

    The Community Table. Heartwarming!

    We spotted this cafe on our way back from the balloon museum nearby. I'm SO glad we stopped in for lunch! My husband and I ordered chef salads and bottled water. The team was very friendly with ordering and service very efficient. The salads had fresh greens, red bell pepper, shredded carrot and cheese, onion, sliced hard boiled egg, plentiful turkey and ham deli meat- really good! There was a delicious small piece of toasted bread with a yummy pesto spread- just the right size! I appreciated the ability to choose the dressing. I love ranch but opted for the healthier balsamic vinaigrette. They have a central table marked as a community table. I thought that was a nice feature. I hope people take advantage of it. We ran into George, a very friendly team member, in our way out. We made sure to tell him how much we enjoyed our lunch. He shared that this cafe is family- owned, in business since 1985! How great! Always seek friendly, locally owned businesses whenever possible! We will be back next time we are in town. Ambience: casual, friendly.

    The laugh react that he bravely put up before immediately blocking me.

    See all

    Probably the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. We've been twice and enjoyed it thoroughly both times!

I don't remember needing a password, just an ID, but maybe that depends on who is in charge for the evening. Once inside, it's all vibes and great drinks. The bartenders made me a really awesome smokey old fashioned, but the star of the show was the specialty ginger cocktail they were featuring, that right now I cannot remember the name of. Pic attached tho! It's not a big place, but there are both high tops, couches and lounge chairs, and bar seating depending on your preference. As an out of town visitor, I enjoyed it thoroughly!

We actually did need a password to get in. Luckily, you could go to their website and request one and get it instantly by email. The facade is a real liquor store with a good selection of local and unique brews and spirits. We were led through a walk in freezer door and down a dark narrow staircase, which was fun and felt like a true speakeasy. We got to sit in the side room by ourselves the whole time, which was fun and nice and private. It's a small space with an old speakeasy type feel with neat art, wallpaper, ceilings, and such. Most importantly, the drinks are so good! We were enthralled by the fall seasonal cocktail menu, with smoked cinnamon, pumpkin, sweet potato!!, and other delectable fall flavors. The drinks all have a wild and complex combination of flavorings, and they make all their syrups in house. So yummy and such a good experience to sit and sip. Our server came to take our orders and check on us and was very nice.

    Volaré Rooftop Bar is located in Uptown Albuquerque inside the…read more Element by Westin Hotels. I went up for a nightcap on November 25, 2025. I sat a brief while at the bar before being greeted and later served a "Sandia Sunset" (watermelon, orange juice, pineapple juice, grenadine) made with vodka (around $12). The views were nice of both the city lights and the silhouettes of the Sandia Mountains. The bar was chic. By all accounts, this place seems to be not a chain and not a franchise either, Brian G. (per your review from 12.14.2025), but an independently-founded and owned bar. When I explored the patio, it was quite windy that night, but I thought I could handle a few swigs next to the smokeless fire pits. Several seating arrangements I went to each had dirty dishes. I didn't like the crowd vibe inside so I just took my drink to my room. I'd definitely visit again, but hopefully next time hand-in-hand with a particular tall dark handsome man.

This time was no different in terms of our server's attention, personality, efficiency, and overall demeanor. V ~ was great and thank you! I am personally giving 3 stars for this bar/restaurant for 2 reasons: 1) the online menu is not updated with prices - I will delve into this more in a minute, and 2) kitchen service was slower than expected. Here is a link to their menu online: https://drive.google.com/file/d/148CplSivVBTXmrWlSO46WytoWdpd0REA/view I got the hard seltzer which was supposed to be $7 but I ended up paying $10 for a can of seltzer. Got 2 and the total without tip with tax was over $21. Seriously! that is friggin outrageous. I would have gotten wine if I wanted to spend that much. TRULY HARD SELTZER | 7 Hard Seltzer | 5.0% ABV Secondly, 7 out of 8 of us ordered food and 1 person had to ask for her crostini 3 or 4 times. Our lovely server did take it off of her check but nontheless, we were all done eating by the time she got her food and she was so gracious about it. Another thing: why can't I make a reservation in advance for a group of more than 4 when the place was clearly not busy at 4 pm on a Tuesday? We make 3 separate reservations for 4 people. This is a social group, and we meetup via MEETUP weekly. People will RSVP and then cancel. We had 12 coming and then 8 showed up. I am not certain we will resturn.
