    Gc cheese burger Philly cheesesteak
    Darling D.

    This place is fun loved the soda fountain went with cherry soda. I'm on the hunt for new Philly cheesesteak spot and they did a great job for the Friday special. I saw other tables with au jus just for their hamburgers wish I were offered some but I'll ask next time. The owner was very nice and made sure everything came out tasty. My pops enjoyed his burger. We rang the bell as it was a great lunch! Will be back!

    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

    NM Green Chili Cheeseburger

    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!

    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
    Tasha R.

    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!
    Helen A.

    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.

    Great servers! Everyone was helpful and kind so front of house manager must be doing their job!…read moreFood was delicious. Crispy Brussels sprouts had great flavor but way too much cayenne pepper (which adds nothing but heat) my husband ate them but said he would prefer less heat. I had 2 bites and gave up. Baked brie was amazing I loved the granny Smith apples! My husband loved them too. We also got the hummus duo which has dates on it and I used a date in the brie that was fantastic! I'll ask for that next time! It was the bomb. Hummus duo was good the watermelon radish was beautiful on the plate but gave both hummus a bitter flavor. Shrimp and grits. We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer. We will be back to try 4 or five other things. I look forward to my return.

    Extremely disappointing experience at Sixty Six Acres…read more We walked in and were seated immediately on the patio. I had read so many positive reviews and was genuinely excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, we walked out without ever being served. While we sat there, multiple staff members walked past our table without acknowledging us. No greeting. No water. No "someone will be right with you." Nothing. Then another couple arrived after us and was seated in the same small patio area. They were promptly greeted, given water, and attended to by a waiter who seemed more than happy to serve them. Meanwhile, we were still sitting there trying to figure out whether anyone planned to acknowledge our table. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was looking around and realizing there were no other Black or Brown patrons in the establishment at the time. I cannot definitively say race played a role in how we were treated, but given the stark difference in service between our table and the couple seated after us, I would be dishonest if I said the thought didn't cross my mind. We eventually got up and left. Good food reviews mean very little if certain guests can sit at a table while staff repeatedly walk past them as though they aren't there. Whether this was discrimination, poor training, or simply terrible service, the experience was unacceptable and left us feeling completely unwelcome. We came prepared to spend our money and enjoy dinner. Instead, Sixty Six Acres made it very easy for us to take our business elsewhere.

I like that, when you have an owner that takes the time to ask someone how they are doing.. That carries a lot of weight with me as it shows they care about their brand and what they stand for.. He even gave us a tour.. That was cool.. Thank You For Everything.. We will be back next time we drive out the 40..

    THE biggest hidden gem in Albuquerque. Get a reservation, go with the family, and enjoy yourself…read more The food is fresh, and the menu even tells you where it is sourced from. To take it one step farther, you can even walk in the gardens and see where some of your food is grown. Importantly, the food is insanely tasty. I split the salmon and barramundi, both of which were cooked to perfection and paired with FRESH sides. I could eat here every day of my life. The place is cute, mostly outdoor seating with a great view for sunset. Lots of fairy lights, adobe infrastructure - very ABQ. The menu rotates seasonally, but I am confident there is never a bad dish. Notably, they only serve beer and wine, no cocktails. Still, a great place for a night out, if a bit expensive.

The weather permitted use to sit outside in the comforting blanket of mild sun shine. Service was slow and it took some time for someone to initially come to our table. I heard a few tables being offered to tour the area where some of the plants were being grown which was nice. That option was not extended to our table. The menu had a few vegetarian options that looked promising. I ordered barramundi and my wife ordered cavatelli which is a type of pasta. Complementary bread was brought out that tasted good but had too much salt on the crust. I didn't know but eventually found out that barramundi is a type of Asian sea bass. It was plated with a good amount of vegetables, but I found it to be bot a flavorful as I would have liked. I tasted the cavatelli and was not impressed either by the flavors. The drink section of the menu is a little confusing and we ended up with a grapefruit rosemary kombucha. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing but I think the entrees were a bit over priced for what we received.
