    Alien Amber ale and chips and green chile queso. - A basket of tortilla chips with queso dip is placed on a granite table, alongside a glass of iced tea on a napkin, with a background of a public space.

    Great quick service. Beer was good and queso and chips fine. 4 stars since the menu is limited and price was a little high. But d finitely worth the stop id you have time before a flight

    Lemons - Lemon wedges are stored in a transparent plastic container with a red lid inside a refrigerator, alongside celery stalks and other items.

    Gentleman working by himself. He did a great job helping everyone. I asked for some limes with my pepeloco and I was told he was completely out. So he hands me lemons. Overall he was busy and I get that he didn't want to reach down in the cooler and grab the lemons.

    a glass of lemonade and a glass of orange juice - Two beverages, one with a lemon wedge and ice, are placed on a granite table in a restaurant setting.

    This was a cute, little, and bustling lounge. We stopped for some drinks before our flight. Able, was our server and made us some delicious drinks. I took his drink suggestion and was happy I did. A little pineapple and tequila will ensure a relaxing flight. He was conscience of our time and even brought us cold water to fill out water bottles. Great service, and a nice spot to kill some time.

    I hope stella is the same price as Bud Light, since that's what we actually had

    Great service yesterday. We sat at the bar for a quick stop before our flight to Phoenix. I really just wanted a place to charge my phone and they had tons of ports by your legs at their bar. We had two Bud Lights and two double shots of Jameson. Noticed today that we were rang up for Stella, but perhaps they're the same price. Friendly bartender and great atmosphere for a quick stop.

    The bartender gave us tall beers when we ordered, so maybe say something about wanting a smaller glass if you're not wanting a big one!

    Beware: You cannot hear flight announcements while here! Route 66 had a decent amount of seating and a really nice bartender who greeted us promptly was able to get us our drinks quickly. We left the bar for our flight, which it turned out was delayed, and when we came back he remembered our orders and got us set up quickly with another round. They had nine different beers on tap: Shocktop, Bud Light, Budweiser, Montejo, 90 Shilling, Goose IPA, Alaskan Amber, Stella Artois, and Santa Fe Pale Ale. I think our beers were about $9 each. It looked like you could ask for pretzels, but we weren't offered any - so I have no clue if they're complimentary or not. There were a couple TVs set to the news. My biggest issue with this place was that you can't hear the flight announcements that come over the PA system. Our flight was at first delayed and then changed to a different gate but we missed the announcement and thus our boarding number because we couldn't hear anything. So be extra vigilant about checking the boards/your gate if your flight is delayed (or if your plane was broken like ours).

    See all

    Bottom line is very good food and good service for a bar, but they are short staffed and water leak…read morein the bathroom. Prices are reasonable. My hubby and I took our son for a late dinner after his soccer game. The landing is hidden behind several hotels. It's worth the trip although there are a few things they need to improve. We started with pretzels. They were very good. The jalapeno cheese was good. I like honey mustard to dip and they didn't have it. Yellow mustard works well too. My son had a calzone and it was delicious and huge. He's 19 and could only eat half. The crust was great. I had the beef & sausage combo sandwich with fries. It was good. The bread was fresh and the Italian sausage was spicy. Fries were good too. My hubby had the double dish pizza. The crust was so good. The fillings and sauce were awesome. It was loud and very open. Not unusual for a bar. The issues they need to improve are staffing and men's bathroom. They did not have enough staff. They didn't have a host or busser. So the servers were seating, taking orders, clearing tables, rolling silverware, running food... The faucets in the men's bathroom were broken and leaking. There was a puddle of water on the floor. That needs to be fixed.

    Service was awesome, food was ok, ambiance was too loud and casual…read more Our server was very thoughtful with our food allergies and made every effort to ensure we didn't get food with those ingredients in it. The lemonade was very bland and diluted so had to return that. Salad was ok. Spaghetti sauce had unusual flavor and smelled like dog food. Burger was tasty but the bun was very soft and turned doggy before we were finished. The best part of the meal was the fries, onion rings, and tater tots. I won't be returning.

Onion rings were piping hot and tasty. The wrap was ok but had too much dressing. Way too much. I also didn't realize there was blue cheese on it (bleh) but that's on me. As of summer 2025 almost the entire airport is under construction. Hopefully there will be more meal options in the near future.

    Overall, out of all the current options at the airport, this place has good tasty casual foods…read more The ambiance is not cozy, the predominant bar at the back faces the back wall as if it's shameful to drink. I would prefer a restaurant with a bar than a bar with a restaurant. The servers and host are accommodating, know the menu and you could not improve there. The green chile chicken stew is my favorite item . The stew has cubed potatoes, tomato, chicken and lots of flavor. It comes with a warm soft thick tortilla perfect for submerging. Approximately $8.00. The burger comes with a variety of add ons like avocado, variety of cheeses, served with a brioche bun and fries, fruit or onion rings. About $15.00 The items on the burger were top notch. I asked for a medium -well and I got my the patty over-cooked , curved and I could tell the meat was good quality - but it was destroyed. The Cesare wrap , about $17.00 has top grade quality chicken , romaine lettuce , very little dressing, Parmesan cheese rolled up in a big soft tortilla. The problem was, all the ingredients were in sections. One corner has all the cheese, another corner has all the chicken and the middle has the romaine lettuce. It was not mixed and placed in. So, it was dry. All the ingredients are of good quality but because I didn't bring a bowl to the airport, overall , I did not enjoy , specially for $17.00. The loaded fries - just crispy tender fries with cheese and bacon. This is absolutely incredible. The onion rings are good. But it needs something more. They are crispy outside, a little greasy mostly from the moisture of the onion. They are not bad if you like onion rings, but the French fries are so much better. I asked for fresh fruit with my Cesare wrap and they were not separated. I got melon juice soggy tortilla. The quesadillas are incredible. Fresh grilled tortilla, with lots of melted cheese , chicken and bacon. Good portion, but I want more . Absolutely wonderful. If you order the burger medium rare, then it will be much better.

For drinks they have everything from house taps and cocktails to non-alcoholic options, including mocktails. They also make their own house infusions like beet vodka, coffee liqueur, and cucumber gin, which I thought was interesting. The service was friendly although it was busy so I wouldn't say they were fully attentive. Differential Brewing does seem like a chill spot to grab a drink and hang out with friends. My only issue was that the bathrooms were not clearly labeled and the heavy metal playlist was not my cup of tea.

Lots of doors and roll-up windows allow them to combine or separate spaces. I'm not sure if it's a New Mexico thing, but this might be the first brewery we've been to that doesn't do flights. Too bad too because there were several we wanted to get. We ended up tasting four beers. The Bock was ok, and the Stout was pretty good. I had a pint each of the Blue Corn Lager and the Irish Red, while my wife had two pints of the Irish Red. Both were quite good. Had I had another, I would've ordered the Stout. The one knock on the place was the service. It was friendly enough. There just wasn't enough of it. Every time we needed something, it was around a 10-min wait in line. To order, to close out, etc. Not really because it was overly crowded. It just took a really long time for those in front of us to be helped by the one person tending bar at the time. Oh well. The beer was good and not overpriced. Even though the alcohol content wasn't too high, it hit the spot.

The server said they were going through a shift change when our order took over 30 minutes to arrive. But, that did not explain the long waits to be seated, to get out waters, to have our orders taken and to pay the bill. The nachos were great. Loaded with tons of meat, cheese and veggies. They were just the right amount and just the right level of spice. The salad was a salad. The tuna melt tasted like straight pickle juice. We are assuming this wasn't the normal recipe and that something must have gone wrong in the kitchen because most people couldn't eat this. We sure couldn't.

To put it succinctly: you do not want to go to this Buffalo Wild Wings. The other one star reviews on Yelp for this location are absolutely accurate. 1. The place is filthy. We arrived around 19:00 / 7:00 PM on a Saturday night. The dining room looked like it had been hit by a blast of some sort, almost every table was crowded with items that should have been bussed hours ago. We were told to sit in the back area. We wiped down a high top and sat down. 2. When told to sit in the bar area, a younger, hefty guy with a mustache yelled across the dining room at us, where we standing by the door. 3. The server was clearly overwhelmed. This place is woefully understaffed. 4. One of our sides was a side salad with the vinaigrette dressing. They brought out a teaspoon of the dressing in the cup, saying they were out, and they were going to make some more. After making more, the new dressing looked nothing like the old dressing and it was clearly sweet onion dressing. No dressing was going to bring life back into the wilted mess that they claimed to be a garden salad. We sent it back. 5. We had ordered boneless wings as an appetizer, they came after the entree after I reminded someone (not our server) that we ordered boneless wings. 6. The server stopped by once to check on us after the food came out about 30 minutes after it was ordered. I asked for a second beer. It never arrived. 7. The beer cheese cheesesteak has a "gone through the meat grinder" vibe to it and it was burned 8. There was a disheveled woman dressed in BWW clothing walking around with a cup of soup for no less than 10 minutes. Pity the soul that ended up with the soup. When server arrived I said, "we'd like to pay the check, please take off the salad". He did, however, no itemized receipt at all, so I did the mathematics in my head. I then asked for the second beer that never arrived to be removed from my check, he did that too, again the total went down but I never received an itemized check. This place is miserable. I don't know if it fits the vibe of Albuquerque or what, because I'm not from Albuquerque, but I have to think that the folks of this city deserve better than whatever this is suppose to be.
