One of the best stops on our road trip from Memphis to CA. This is a great stop.. "on the Green" is a group of food joints, bar and a brewery. They allow you to bring food from Rustic into the brew house to enjoy a beer while you feast on an amazingly delicious burger. Service was excellent and we will stop here again!! I had the Divine Intervention, which if you like blue cheese you will want to sink your teeth in this burger. Vance had the Day of the Dead Burger as he likes heat, if you try this one be ready with that beer! No matter your burger selection, All can agree on the loaded fries as they are perfect to share. read more

Rustic On the Green - Menu is colorful and descriptive enough to chose the best! - New American Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This is probably my new favorite burger place in town. My boyfriend and I ordered The Sacred and The Day of The Dead burger. My Day of The Dead burger was SO good! It's a really spicy burger but it's enjoyable! The patty was so juicy and cooked perfectly! We also ordered Italian fries, they had grate flavor but the bottom of the plate had a lot of oil still. Other than that our experience was really grate. I really look forward to coming here again! read more

Hello goodness. Hubby and I wanted burgers to go with our beers and this place answered our call. We both went with the sacred (green Chile and cheese). The burgers were juicy and made to order. Unlike other places the green Chile here was hot and had amazing flavor (no canned Chile here!). We tried both regular and sweet potato fries and both rocked. I don't know what kind of salt they used but it put them over the top. Since it is fresh made to order the wait is a little long but well worth the wait. Patience is a virtue people. read more

Rustic On the Green - Sacred burger with sweet potato fries! - New American Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

If your looking for a good old fashion street food burger. This would be the place. There are a few actual street food style burger places here in Albuquerque. I have tried them all. Rustic is the most flavorful of them all. Although I do like an occasional Gourmet burger, from a fancy restaurant or a continental Cuisine place. However, my stample burger is always going to be a street burger. And Rustic takes the title so far. read more

YUMMMMMM!!!! This place is located inside the Green Jeans Farmery (which reminds me, I need to yelp about the farmery as a whole, it's so cute with plenty of spaces to sit and eat). When I ordered my food, I was asked for my number so that they could text me when my order was ready. My only suggestion for the text: I wish there was a way to not show me all all of the numbers of the other patrons :-) It was sent as a group text. So if you are concerned about your number in a group text, just give them your name and stay close by. Otherwise, the text was convenient as I was exploring the farmery and looking around. I ordered the Divine Intervention Burger, and it was DIVINE!! It has blue cheese, caramelized onions all on a nice thick meat patty. Deeeelicious!! Really the best burger around. I got it with the regular fries which are shoestring style. The only thing that I wished for was a fork and knife to eat this burger with. It can be petty messy. But SOOOOOO worth every finger-licking bite. I ordered a coke to wash it all down with. Great burger and you even have dessert right next door. Great food, great location --- I heart this place. Can't wait to go back and try their other burgers! Another great ABQ find for me! read more

My first review on Yelp happened about 4 years ago when I stumbled across the best cheeseburger I'd ever had - in Stockholm. I confidently and without caveat declared it the best burger I'd ever had. Period and end paragraph. That burger has met it match in The Sacred from Rustic on the Green. Good gosh, New Mexico takes the title back for best bigger of my life with juicy beef patties, all American cheese, and list worthy hatch chiles soaked through in beefy juice goodness. The server brought a tray of burgers to my table, but he served me my entire life. The fries were just ok. Similar to McDonalds for reference. The seating in the "alley" (seating area between two different eateries) is awkward. I feel like I'm sharing my meal with everyone sitting here. I just want to like my fingers and preserve some semblance of dignity - not easy eating with four tables at my elbows. Not a deal breaker though. read more

Great atmosphere on the way to the airport friendly staff the burger was so good I forgot to take a picture! Sweet potato fries extra crispy made fresh! read more

Loved the blue cheese burger and the fries were just right. The burger was huge and cooked perfectly. We also liked the atmosphere with the outdoor seating and live music from the brewery in the same complex. read more

I ordered the scared burger to go with no bun. Amazing!!! The French fries and burger with super melty cheese is everything amazing about NM green chile burgers. read more

Very fun place for lunch. The burger was hand-pattied and a really big size with great flavor. The patty melt was "different" but oh so yummy. We were bummed that once again in New Mexico it was frozen fries not hand cut FRESH FRIES!!! I just don't understand this. Sooo disappointed. read more

Good not great hamburger. I can't see the reason for the five star ratings. The place has limited seating and not a comfortable environment to eat Ok at best read more

I ordered The Sacred burger and my husband ordered The Rustic burger, as well as fries with queso. The queso was not good, while the burgers were average (they weren't bad, just nothing special). The drink selection was limited to sodas (we wanted iced tea); I had to go to another restaurant for tea. The area is cool, but the food wasn't that exciting. read more

Daughter orders the Patty Melt minus the onions and devoured it. Just under $11 for a burger with no fries. Love that they text when your order is ready. read more

Amazing burger and truffle fries! A must stop when in ABQ. We stopped on our way to Santa Fe. read more

This place has the best green chile cheeseburger in Albuquerque. There's something about the hamburger patty that is so unique, I can't place my finger on it. The taste is incredible, and when mixed with the brioche bun, it's even better. My favorite burger is the sacred. I've never ventured outside of this burger, but I'm sure the rest of the menu is phenomenal. The only part that I dislike is the fake that you have to order the fries separately from the burger, so you end up paying around $15 for a burger and fries which is a bit steep. But also with Green Jeans, you have to keep in mind that you are also paying for the atmosphere. I'm sad that their spin off restaurant in Nob Hill didn't stay open very long. It was much closer to me than Green Jeans. Will definitely be coming by now that the weather is nice! read more

Fantastic burgers. Fair warning, the green chilis are pretty hot. The owner is really nice. I highly recommend.

I don't get it?! My burger was very, very salty. To the point I had to drink water for the rest of the day to get the gross taste out of my mouth. And I love salt! On top of that the patty was thin - maybe the thickness of a 1/4 lbs. I got a pretty plain burger, so maybe others like it if it is covered with chili and you can't taste the actual burger. There's multiple better burger shops in town. I gave it an extra star because the venue is actually unique for ABQ. read more

This burger place is in the GREEN JEANS FARMERY on the first floor. We ordered the day of the dead burger and hatch green Chile burger. The day of the dead burger is so good and it really is spicy. The burger is done medium well on warm soft buns that are lightly toasted. There's lettuce onion and tomatoes and their spicy spread on cheddar cheese. Even if you aren't a fan of spreads this spread is so worth the try because it brings all flavors in together. However, if you don't like spicy this burger is definitely not for you!! The beef is so soft and juicy you get a drip of the burger in every bite. Chile pepper burger is on the same buns and add ins. This burger has chopped green peppers spread you can see some seeds cho. You get a bit of peppers in every bite so you always get a mild kick of spicy flavor. The FRIES are cooked in sunflower oil and they are crispy but soft on the inside. They're simple but really delicious just classIc crispy fries. Definitely worth a try if you are from out of town. You can purchase your burgers and take it over the the Santa Fe Brewing Company ABQ taproom. So you can enjoy your burgers and have some beer. I'm not kidding your meal is going to be worth it! read more

My Sacred burger and fries were WAY TOO SALTY. And the service was okay. Over-priced for what I got. I couldn't even finish it.

The burgers were super FAST! The fries were delicious and the green chile had amazing flavor. The only issue was that the burger itself was overpowered with salt. It was hard to distinguish where it came from...but without it this would've been quite the experience! read more

It's 5:55 pm and we walked up to place our order. The person working there placed a closed sign on the register and wouldn't even look at us. Couldn't care at all. I don't know how they're in business. read more

Rustic On the Green is just simply superb. The menu is extensive, I was overwhelmed with the choices. After checking out the reviews, I tried Queso, and I will need to say it was a solid winner. Staff is very polite and will help you with everything. Rustic On the Green rocks. read more

Because I was craving a good burger and wanted to try a new restaurant, I had decided to go to Green Jeans Farmery with a couple of my friends. Rustic is located right next to a pizza joint. I wasn't sure what I wanted to get as there were a few options. However, I was recommended by the person who just ordered her burger to get the "Rustic" burger, which was about $8. It came with cheese and calamarized onion! The burger was juice and cooked to the temperature that I liked, which was medium for burger patties. The fries were extra but also worth in. Next time I will order the sweet potatoes fries. read more

Delicious perfectly cooked patty melt. The hamburger was tasty and covered in melted Swiss cheese and sautéed onions. The burger melted in your mouth. The rye bread not so much. The American rye bread was oily and lacked the Deli rye desired. Thanks for reading. The Bike Chaplain read more

Just rolled into town. First stop. Perfection. Floored by how good the service was...and the fries are golden deliciousness--shoestring with sea salt. And don't even get me started on the black bean burger!?! I mean look at that photo and try not to salivate! read more

Great green chile burger! In a town full of great chile burgers, this is my favorite. Flavorful hand-formed patty, with just the right amount of heat. Perfect bun...firm enough to keep everything in place, but soft enough to easily bite. Plus my favorite kind of skinny fries. A plus for having a limited menu of burgers all done well. A few other plusses. In a collection of other great looking food places in case your dining companions would like something else like tacos. Santa Fe brewing next door for a beer. And just off the interstate so very convenient when passing through ABQ. Only concern is that this place does not look like it can handle a crowd. We were there on a Tuesday mid-afternoon and it was fine. read more

FLOORED! and that's not because I paired my burger with an IPA from neighboring Santa Fe Brewery. I'm not sure what kind of brujeria goes into creating the "Divine Intervention" at this place but I can tell you this was quite possibly the best hamburger I have ever had the privelige of devouring. Crumbled Blue cheese, caramelized onions, and a balsamic reduction over a hand pressed patty with a hearty slice of salty bacon. Salivating yet? read more

I'll take another order of the rustic burger with sweet potato fries, please!! What's there to say, place is located in probably one of the best towns in spot. Located right at the green jeans area. They have 3 different burgers you can chose from along with a black bean burger. I always order the sweet potato fries which are always very good. Burgers can sometimes be to salty but the flavors are really good. What I like best about rustic is that they never rush your food and you know that they take their time to make your experience enjoyable. The older lady is always so friendly, I believe she is the owner of rustic. Definitely a must try if you are in the area. read more

If you want a great burger go here! Met the owner Kelly who is a really nice guy. He gave us the sweet potato fries on the house. The diablo burger is HOT!!!! but really really good. Fun place to go, even if there is no dining room. read more

Read reviews on Yelp and decided to try this place for lunch. I will say the reviews didn't lie. Very tasty and surprisingly good. I had the diablo burger, some kick to it but glad it was recommended. Seating is awkward but tolerable, its a giant food court made from containers. This was worth going to. read more

We are always searching for new places to eat when passing through. The Philly cheesesteak was super good!

The service was so bad I wonder which family member I hurt from the woman working behind the counter. The service was so bad, and my order was so incorrect, it felt like it had to be intentional. read more

In my opinion.. best burger I've had in Albuquerque. Maybe tied with another notable ABQ burger for first. Excellent, fast service is a constant for the several times I've been. The sweet potato fries are very very good. I've only ever gotten the Rustic and it is just so good. Fresh veggies and a juicy party. Almost too juicy (just kidding that's not even possible.) I also tried the green chile and it was spicy and delicious. Highly recommend this not so hidden gem! It'd be cool if you guys could bring the food out, like some other places at green jeans but the text option isn't so bad. Will definitely continue to be a customer :) read more

I came to check out this place because I saw all the reviews. There wasn't anyone at the counter when I arrived and I had to knock on the wall before the noticed my presence. I got the Divine Intervention with blue cheese, which I thought was very good. Their sweet potato fries were very tasty as well. My husband got The Sacred, which came out a little dry and was not very impressive, in my opinion. This place definitely wasn't bad but the service and some of the items on the menu have room for improvement. read more

Such a cute food hall area, and this Berger restaurant was great. Ciabatta bun could have been better but everything else was great! We got the black bean burger which was really tasty. read more

Burger was meh. Worse, they don't deign to wear masks when all workers at the other Green Jean establishments do. I guess they are special.

This place is great, but deserves more than one dollar sign on yelp as it is, in my opinion, more expensive than most burgers at a restaurant would be. If you really want to turn up the heat try the day of the dead burger. It is the only reason I go there. read more

Simple. Amazing. Economical. These are words that do not always (ok, not very often at all) describe the Abq food scene, but thankfully Rustic burger is reducing that void significantly with their simple menu, great service, and ridiculous good taste. If you walk into Red Robin and say "hmm," rest assured that will not happen here. 4 items on the menu, that's it. You'll need about 8 sec to make your mind up. Be aware that they do have other cheese options on occasion, so doesn't hurt to ask. I scored Muenster on my Sacred burger, that was pretty sweet. Only small nitpick is that their sign for "add bacon: only $1" was on the L side (opposite the menu), and so I totally missed it. I would have ordered it, had I noticed....but wait! the burger was so damn good with just cheese, green chile, lettuce, tom, & a slim onion slice, that it DIDN'T NEED BACON. I honestly thought I would never write those words. No joke folks, this burger is that good. Go ahead and add it on if you want, but it's really good enough without it. Which is amazing, in and of itself (somewhere, Jim Gaffigan just picked up a nervous twitch). For less than $10 you can walk away perfectly happy for the rest of the afternoon, for an extra $5 you can wash it down w/ some SF Brewing IPA. Either way, I'd call it a darn good deal. I need to come in extra hungry one of these days to be able to order those sweet potato fries, they look PDG as well. read more

I have been eating at Rustic since they were a food truck. My coworkers and I would go to Marble to have a green chile cheeseburger from Rustic every Friday for lunch. Now they are located at the Green Jeans Farmery. This is the best green chile cheeseburger in Albuquerque and to quote my Dad, "This is the best burger I have had in a long time!" The menu has a handful of different burgers, including black bean burgers. If you like your green chile with a kick, this is the place! When going to Green Jeans, this is my first choice if they aren't sold out. There is plenty of seating and if you want to grab a beer at the Santa Fe tap room, they will deliver your food to you. read more
