Well, this was the third restaurant we tried for a Wednesday afternoon lunch. Unfortunately we didn't like the burgers here. We each had the Divine Intervention. Burger, blue cheese crumbles, grilled onions. Sounded really good, but it ended there. Sub par hamburger. The shared order of fries were not much better. The ambience here is not as fresh feeling as it used to be. Inside and outside: both were seemingly uncared for. I hope they can bring this back, it used to be a fresh , clean space. Maybe another time. Right now I can't recommend. read more

Rustic on the Green is in a great location, surrounded by a variety of other spots to explore. One thing to note is that if you need water, you'll have to grab it from a nearby brewery. I ordered the Sacred burger and the loaded tater tots. The burger was absolutely amazing--definitely a must-try if you're visiting. The flavors were on point, and it left me more than satisfied. The loaded tater tots were a solid side, but the burger is the real star here. read more

When in Albuquerque, I heard you must have a green chili cheeseburger Thanks to Yelp, I think I found the best in town!! The brioche bun was fresh and toasted. The burger was perfectly cooked, lettuce/tomato was fresh and the green chilies were spicy with a nice roast on them. The tater tots were so crispy and tasty. Ordered at the counter and was given a pager so I headed to the brewery next door until it was ready. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. Located in the shipping container development, a laid back ambiance, with seating areas in the courtyard. read more

This used to be my favorite burger place in ABQ! I highly recommend it! The fries were always fresh! However, their bread was always changing and there wasn't consistency regarding the type of break that would come with the burger that's why 4 stars. I don't know if they were still figuring out which bread was working best. Seating area and other businesses provide a nice place to enjoy a meal :) read more

I've only been here once and look forward to coming back and trying a few other burgers. I got the divine intervention. Love the name! The burger was cooked to order. Service was good. So this is a burger that has blue cheese on it and a balsamic reduction. They were a little bit surprised when I asked for some mustard on the side. So overall really good burger can't complain. However, I wish there had been a bit more blue cheese. The bun was toasted but somewhat crapped I asked her utensils in order to cut the burger where the bun was cracked so that I could actually eat it. Still this doesn't take away from the experience. I was quite happy with every bite and every morsel. read more

Green Jeans was not bumping on a Thursday night and there were maybe 2 other sets of people ordering food when we came in. We wanted to try BBQ but couldn't find the vendor so our next best choice was Rustic On the Green. I should have convinced my mans to get pizza because this experience was just ok, if not a little less than ok. I should actually give it 2 starts because it definitely could have been better but there were some things that were good. First, the person who was taking orders was mopping and didn't wash her hands between tasks, including touching food items, which is beyond gross. Not only that but she and the person cooking were fighting over days off which felt very uncomfortable. After about 2 min she finally comes to take out order (she knew we were there cause she looked directly at us and rolled her eyes) but she is not happy, very hostile. I just take this as she's mad at him and not me so I order and take my pager. We decided to sit upstairs but I came back down before the pager went off. I hate to say that I was relieved, but I can't think of another word, that she was super rude to the people I saw ordering next as well. In fact, this time she refused to turn while mopping and the people had to call out to her and this made her even angrier and she angry mopped for about 30 seconds before putting it down and taking their order. The person ordering changed their order about halfway through and I thought she might punch the lady. YIKES!!! When my order came up, she never punched in the pager so it sat there for a while, because NO ONE would come to the counter. I knew it was my order but what if it wasn't. Finally, I start to get mad and she comes over and punches in the pager. I'm like, hi, it's me, you're the problem, it's you. LOL!!! She also forgot to give me my water and when I asked, even the guy cooking is angry at me now and screams from behind the table, "WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW???" Oh, just the water I paid for, thanks. Mind you, I haven't said any words to them, except to order and to ask about my water. I know everyone has bad days but come on!!! Add insult to injury, both the patty melts and loaded tater tots were inedible salty. At first, I thought it was mine but I noticed my burger loving mans hardly ate his. When I asked, he said it was so salty it hurt his mouth. So, we both didn't finish our burgers and did not eat the tots. Sadness, because tots are one of my fave foods. Luckily, the chili and the queso on top of the tots was edible and actually really good. I wish I just got a bowl of those items. Absolutely, never eating here again. Never. Ever. No. Nope. No way. But I can't say some things weren't really delicious so 2.5 stars and hope you have better luck than I did. read more

Yummy burgers & spiciness at its finest. Seeing the great Yelp reviews for Rustic Burger, we made a beeline soon as we left the airport The setup is laid back and inventive....looks like a bunch of shipping containers repurposed for use There is a food court with different offerings but Mr & I knew we wanted the burgers Claimed to be serving Beyond Meat, we chose the Sacred & Day of the Dead. The patties were indeed veggie but Im not sure if I could say they were Beyond as this brand has a distinctive texture & flavor & we didn't get that from these burgers. Still tasty but can't vouch they were Beyond Nonetheless, we asked them to sub the veggie patties on these choices & ''twas no big deal. Both were really, really good. We both liked the Sacred's mustard domination with a chile kick and also liked the wood fired / smoky flavor of the super spicy Day of the Dead Paired these delights with some of their green chile queso & that had a sneaky burn.....in a good way You think you're just eating yummy queso t then slowly but surely the burn sets in & wow! This is a place that is return-worthy! Get your veggie burger on! read more

This is located inside the green jeans food hall. This was our first time here and I would say the atmosphere felt more outdoor bar like than family friendly restaurant. You order your food and are given a buzzer and seating is on your own. We found a table upstairs and pulled a chair from inside so we could accommodate the three of us. I did not find any diaper changing area but the bathroom upstairs was private and clean. My husband had a cheeseburger with green chili, I had one with blue cheese and balsamic. I got it on lettuce as they didn't have a gluten free bread. They were out of a few items on the menu but service was friendly. They seemed very busy. Water was available serve-yourself style. Their fries were good. Our 2 year old had a cheeseburger and loved it... you clean your own trays when done. Overall good experience. read more

Pleased with the food here, delish! And reasonably priced. Have tried the Italian fries, made with truffle oil and they are delicious if you like mushroom flavor. The burger was perfectly done with caramelized onions, bacon and French dressing on marble rye. In a week, I've already been there twice so that says something. read more

Dude taking our order was really cool and the food came out fairly fast. I'd give the day of the dead burger a 8/10. Thing is HOT, my god. Sweet potato fries were great but the ranch tasted like craft ranch (as in not made in their kitchen). My husband got the sacred and gave it a 4/10 , as well as the truffle fries. We both agree that the buns they use on their burgers are really good. Three dollars for iced tea that was not to great. I think it would taste better if they used filtered water. I'd still come back to try something different. read more

This place use to be nice, the owner has really let it go by the wayside and it's dirty folks. Last time we went it was 82 degrees inside the boxes. I asked the folks from Santa Fe brewery and they said the owners don't replace the ac units !!! Who wants to hang there and drink!? The bathrooms were filthy , I use to be a huge fan but now I make the trek to tin can alley , at least it's clean !! FYI looks at the ac units they're trash !!! read more

After a long plane ride to visit family in New Mexico, we were starving and Yelp lead me here. This restaurant is located in a small food court with a few other places. It looks like it would be average food and doesn't really stand out however once I got and tried the burger I knew why this place had such a high rating on Yelp. I ordered the Rustic burger and added bacon. The burger was large and juicy and had the best flavor. The bacon and the caramelized onions were such good toppings. The rustic sauce that comes with this burger is like the Big Mac sauce from McDonald's. The fries were the thin fries and they were hot and fresh when I got my food. Overall the food was so delicious and I love a good burger. The service could slightly improve, we waited a few minutes before we were acknowledged but we came during a slow period so that could explain that but the burger was so worth the wait!! read more

Visiting, we wanted to try something green chili. Found this spot and gave it a try. It was located in a building with other restaurants too. There's parking in the front/side. The restaurant is on the first floor. It wasn't busy so we were able order right away. We got the Sacred burger with extra green chili because why not! We also got the loaded tots which came with chili too! Service was good, and fast. We got our food quickly. Food was fresh and good! The green chili was very good and spicy but we got extra and it didn't look like a lot. What i didn't like was that the seatings were outdoors. It's nice in spring or summer but during the winter, it's cold. There were heaters and a fireplace outside but it was still cold lol. read more

Green chilies smothered in queso as a burger topping??? Yes please. The Sacred burger is actually what brought us to Rustic on the Green. Driving through Albuquerque around lunchtime, I knew I wanted to stop for one of the city's famous green chili cheeseburgers. A quick search brought me to Rustic on the Green. We ordered 3 Sacred burgers, 1 children's burger, and 2 orders of fries. The portions are huge. We left stuffed, with food to spare. Burgers are smothered in the green chili queso. Queso had a nice kick to it. Produce was fresh. The meat itself was cooked to well done. There was plenty of queso and mustard to help moisten the bites, but the meat itself was dry. Bun was fresh, and of quality. Flavor wise, a delicious burger. Not being local, this place was confusing to find. It is located in the food hall of a in a mall that is made up of repurposed shipping containers. (Very cool concept.) Look for the Green Jeans Farmery. Limited seating downstairs. Additional seating upstairs. Seating is shared by all businesses. read more

Best restaurant in the area! My husband and I eat a pretty healthy diet and they were more than accommodating to our diet restrictions! Super nice people! My husband make the trip from Texas to Cali pretty regularly and have yet found a better place to stop! We plan to come back for as long as this shop is there! read more

Well, we read good things and were excited to try it, we were driving through ABQ, and their info said they open at 11am. We arrived a little before 11 only to find a sign at their counter saying they would open at 11:30. We were on the road and trying to get to our next destination. I'm sure it is just one of those things that happens, the collective that they are a part of however had many other food options and we found other food and enjoyed the location. read more

Really good burgers. Definitely recommend. Nice outdoor seating area, but shared with several other restaurants.

Great place for green chile burgers! The good thing is that it's in tincan city so you have more choices all around!

It gotten me sick. I didn't call back because I distant to cause any problems. It did take me a couple of days to recover from the food poisoning. It was disappointed because the two gentlemen there are super nice read more

I've been going to Rustic since the Green Jeans Farmery opened. I'll admit, at my first visit I was skeptical about the burgers and sides being sold separately. After I managed to get past it and bite the bullet, I wasn't disappointed! Their burgers are fresh, you taste and see that immediately. They're not messin with that frozen beef here! The fries are fresh totally shareable, if you're into that type of thing. Since then I've been back countless times. I've indulged in the The Rustic, Sacred, Divine Intervention and the Mother Earth (this is their veggie burger made with black beans). All delicious! My go to is the Rustic, tell me who doesn't like caramelized onions! When the health pandemic really hit hard, no longer allowing dine in, Rustic was the first place I ventured to order carryout. The guys there were super friendly and ready to serve. They were even offering all burgers with fries included! That was certainly a treat. I was quoted a 15 minute wait time and they were packaging my meals as I showed up! If you want fast food, without the fast food taste call Rustic! read more

After days of long drives and binging on New Mexican food, we were craving a burger and thanks to Yelp, we found Rustic on the Green, conveniently located right off the highway. I like the shipping container locale. It's on the first floor and there was a decent line waiting to give their order. We ordered The Rustic and Divine Intervention as well as some sweet potato fries and Italian fries. Everything was so tasty. My burger, cooked medium, was nice and juicy. I really liked the blue cheese and caramelized onions. The sweet potato fries were excellent. Nice and crunchy, which is hard to come by with the sweet potato fries world. Really liked the burgers here, and didn't hurt that we got to sit outside and enjoy them on a beautiful day. read more

Oh my - it doesn't get much better than this . Doing a Drive through on the 40 and this came up with good reviews and convenient. And it hit the mark- convenient yes. Not good but great! A huge burger with a crisp yummy brioche bun- grilled onions topped the cheese with a generous slice of tomato and lettuce- My husband had the patty melt- just the right amount of onions he said ... not too much but "just right and carmelized just right" and I do second that. Rye bread excellent and burger cooked to perFection. The fries were fine - nothiNg special but ok. My hands were too greasy to take a picture .... service warm and friendly and quick! If it wasn't snowing we'd have eaten outside on a nice patio. stop here and eat- then get ice cream close by... read more

Wow....ok. I was looking for the best burger I can get close by. I've had everything and love green Jean's but never did I try rustic. And that makes me an idiot. Just the best burger I've ever had in Albuquerque and most of California. The smokey beef, the craftsmanship, the bread, the super fresh and just general care. Thank you guys and girls for doing my custom order (divine with bacon and green Chile and thousand island, sweet potato fries on point with queso and ranch and ketchup). 16 bucks for over a pound of greatness. I highly suggest you try them. I assure you will not be disappointed. Only 1 thing though...get good greens. Nobody wants wilted iceberg or romaine. Keep the veggies separate if possible. Thanks guys and see ya again. read more

They did it. The best green chile cheeseburger in Albuquerque. I know you're hesitant to believe me, but I challenge you to order the Sacred and not have your life absolutely changed forever. Aside from the food, Rustic provides a great option for groups of picky eaters. Everyone can choose their own favorite foods from any of the Green Jeans vendors and still enjoy a great night out (especially when you pair your meal with a drink from Santa Fe Brewing). Go to Green Jeans, make your way inside to Rustic, order The Sacred with fries and thank me later. read more

Are you traveling? Just got to Albuquerque? On your way out? Make sure to stop here. Not only will you be treated to a really delicious burger, but you get to check out the Green Jeans Farmery where it's located: a funky fortress of shipping container eateries and shops that are cool to explore for all ages. If you live here you should already know how good this place is. The award posted above the counter declares it the Best Burger in Albuquerque! Why haven't you been here!? The menu is fairly simple. 7 or 8 burgers to choose from plus a couple of sides and deserts. I wanted something simple, and went with a classic. The Rustic Patty Melt is, by far, the best patty melt I've ever had. Like I said, a simple burger with a minimum of ingredients, but each one shines, creating an amazing combination of flavors. The patty was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The homemade 1000 thousand island was delicious. The toasted rye bread..simply mind blowing. It don't know if they bake it here, but it definitely tastes like it. The prices may seem a little steep as you glance over the menu. After you eat here, my guess is you'd pay even more. Highly recommended. I honestly can't wait to try more here the next time I am in town. It will definitely be a stop. read more

Diablo pureee is legit spicy. Beware! Located in a pretty unique food court setup comprised of old storage containers.

Food was okay but the spot was kind of dirty. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

Nice atmosphere in the middle of Green Jeans Farmery. I think the bun is what helps make these burgers, side of sweet potato fries were on point! I got the Sacred (green chili burger), and it was good, but I wouldn't say worth the $8.50 for the burger alone. My wife got their burger with Diablo Sauce and that truly was a fiery burger! She loves hot food and it was even hot for her! Definitely will stop again, but I honestly don't think I would go out of my way to just go there for the burgers. If you love really hot chili burgers try the one with Diablo Sauce there. Time to hop around green jeans to see what else is offered there! read more

Food, service, attitude and responsiveness were all top notch. Would definitely recommend and return.

My son wanted to go and I'm glad we did. The burgers are really good, sloppy and flavorful, just like a burger should be. The Italian fries have Parmesan cheese and truffle oil and while they're good the fries are so delicious that adding anything is gilding the lily. I ate some of the plain ones and they were just perfect. I had the patty melt, the burger was juicy and the cheese was gooey. The cheese stretched from my mouth to the burger as I pulled it away. I had to break it with my hand there was so much. It's definitely a six napkin burger. I'll go back and try the regular hamburger maybe with bacon because I love a good bacon cheeseburger and the patty in my patty melt was awesome. Also it appears everything comes with grilled caramelized onions, be careful there was a stray green chili in my burger and it was hot. The only bad thing is their beverage selection is weak. They have Mexican bottled Coke or water, bottled or a cup you fill by the water fountain. You can go next door and get a can of soda for a $1.25 at the pizza joint. I think they're used to selling sodas for Rustic because they didn't even question it. The staff at Rustic is helpful and polite. The girl who took our order also brought our food to us, we found seating indoors in the hallway. The girl was really helpful in explaining all the different areas for seating and where we can get other types of beverages. Kind of a weird group of restaurants but worth the visit. read more

Just got out of a massage, downed a plethora of water, and was picked up by my beau for a quick lunch date. He was craving a burger, and since we were just up the street from Green Jeans Farmery, it seemed like the stars were lining up and leading us to our first encounter with the Rustic On The Green. We both ordered The Sacred (Green Chile & Cheese with the accompanying garnish) and shared an order of queso fries. Service with a smile, fast, and oh my....Juici-liciousness. Is that a word? I went through 4 napkins and 2 tissues if that gives you any idea....Bar none one of THE juiciest burgers that have ever graced my lips *not greasy whatsoever*. The burger was seared to perfection, green chile had a kick, bun was superb, excellent flavor. The queso fries were quite tasty, gooey, messy *as expected*...I enjoyed them, but likely will opt for the sweet potato or regular fries next visit....and by golly there will most definitely be a next visit. My belly is all warm n fuzzyyyyy and I'm teetering on the edge of a food coma *in a good way* - time for nappy naps. read more

We visited New Mexico recently and I really wanted to try out a green chile cheeseburger. Based on the reviews online, we came to Rusitc on the Green. We actually made the trip from Santa Fe (where we were staying), to Albuquerque just for this burger. I gotta say, this is the best burger I've had in many years. The patty was suprisingly juicy and savory. The cheese, onions, tomatoes, and buns were also delicious within the burger. However, I would say the addition of the green chiles definitely took this burger to elite level. I enjoyed this burger so much, I regretted eating it so fast. This is the first time I have enjoyed a spicy burger. I will definitely want to come here again if I'm ever in New Mexico. read more
