This place is great! The food, service, and atmosphere make it a good place to eat throughout the day. After coming here multiple times, I've had so many great meals! My favorite so far is either the taco salad or the range chicken. They had wonderful flavors and a variety of toppings to add a bit of uniqueness to each one. Regarding the desserts, you can't really go wrong with any of them! My favorite is the carrot cake. I will definitely come here again! read more

$5 margaritas that are amazing!! We love the Range. Great food and great service. 4 times a week for us! You should go too!

Sunday brunch was a madhouse. Terrible wait time without a reservation. Apparently no same day reservations. After getting seated the waiter told us there was a considerable wait time by the kitchen. Food was good. Staff courteous. My impression...under staffed with poor management. read more

I do not recommend this restaurant. Their daily special was $10.99 which is great but they advertise 10%if you purchase a dessert. When I payed I told them we did not receive the 10% for ordering the dessert first. Manager said they do not stack discounts, I told him they need to include that in their advertisement. He said ok I will give you the 10% but added on the full price for the daily special. He wanted to mock me. I will never go there again. read more

Lauren Ashley was our server and what a treat she was. The green chile chicken stew was delicious as usual. And the salmon on my salad was perfectly cooked to order. Will be back read more

do not believe their discounts, We ordered dessert first 10% discount (advertied at the table) Then we ordered the Monday special 10.99. at the cashiers we were told we don't stack discounts, i said it's not advertised that way. We were given the 10% AND paid 12.99 for the Monday special. to bad because this is the one Range we enjoyed. NO MORE, We're senior citizens trying to watch our budget, these kind of places do not help! read more

Everything you want in a restaurant. Great food. Great, lightening fast service, very affordable prices. Reverse happy hour helps bring prices down as well. This is the original and they have amazing local Artist's works and fun collectibles and the greatest RANGE collection I've ever seen. Gotta go of you've not been. read more

We stopped here on the way back from Bandelier national monument. We were tired and hungry and the range cafe offered a respite. This place has an interesting old world charm. From the cute marquee outside featuring animals and a range oven (play on the name) to the aged custom wood chairs inside, it offered a nice sense of comfort. We got our food pretty fast, wolfed it down and then found ourselves too full for dessert regrettably. They have an amaretto pudding which I still regret not getting. The food was fine if a bit pricey. Our server was fantastic. Totally not expecting that. She checked up on us just the right amount and was really nice in general. read more

We stopped at The Range Cafe after flying into ABQ and checking into our hotel. We were very hungry. The Range delivered on quantity and taste !! We started with chips n salsa and margaritas. Yum. Sauces were grr8 and blue n yellow corn chips served crispy and warm. For main I had blue corn enchiladas with shredded chicken which came pinto beans and season rice. Servings were good size. In fact I felt satiated from servings. Also, I like when I can add salt to taste as a personal preference. read more

This is an update to a previous 5-star review. The Smash Patty Melt is perfect, absolutely perfect. Two patties make it a full meal by itself. We enjoyed a side of chips and salsa - they are just the way they should be: fresh blue and yellow corn chips (again, a heaping pile) and chunk, savory fresh salsa. Such a great place for comfort food! read more

Best brunch we've had in NM!! Every single item was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Highlights were the green chili turkey sausage, the blue corn and piñon hotcakes, the range fries (home fries), and the pecan roll (a giant cinnamon roll smothered in pecan pie filling/caramel). Jason was our server and I wish everyone was as kind and attentive as him. Speedy food and service, clean space, big and airy dining room, yay! We'll definitely be back read more

So, I 've been here maybe 3 times since my original review, and always mid-week around 4 pm. Today, however, I came at 5:30 on a Friday with 5 friends. We were meeting to eat and then enjoy a band in the Lizard Lounge room within the cafe. Well, we could not get into the Lounge because all of the tables were reserved. Please know that apparently you have to book a reservation for the lounge 2 days in advance for a band night. We were seated near the entrance and got served by a new waiter - he was quite nice and accommodating. We ate and hoped to hear the band. Our bills came and we paid them and then sat for about 15 minutes to listen to the INCREDIBLY LOUD BAND PLAYING IN THE LOUNGE AT THE BACK OF THE PLACE. YES I AM SCREAMING TO DEMONSTRATE HOW LOUD THE BAND WAS AND THAT WE WERE ACTUALLY HAPPY NOT TO BE IN THE LOUNGE. Also, want to say that while our meals are usually pretty yummy tonight they were just ok. All sic of us felt a little let down. The special nachos were not great, the meatloaf - not good, the other entrees were ok. I guess it can be hit or miss here. We will come again but will refrain for being there when bands play. read more

This is a charming diner with a New Mexico twist. They have a great dessert selection. If you order dessert first you get 10% off your main dish. It has an eclectic yet cheerful ambiance. The service was decent overall. read more

I normally don't review places that I don't get into but making an exception here. Walked in got our name on the waiting list. 10-15 m wait. Waited 30. Noticed that they serve at the bar. They said first come first serve. Spot at the bar in the back. As a courtesy I took my name off the list. Got back to the bar and a list was holding 4 seats at the bar - Well ok, headed back to hostess stand (1 min later by the way) and asked to be back on the list. She said sure, but you are now at the bottom of the list. I said really???! She said yes. No exceptions. Wow - walked out. Unbelievable read more

Really great New Mexican food. Even better than El Pinto. Try everything! Try x-mas style chile on stuff!

The service was friendly from the hostess to the server and the gift shop. I also loved the ambiance as well as the delicious food. This location is close to my home in Rio Rancho and I will be visiting often. I had the papas con carne and the green chile apple pie. I purchased some prickly pear jam and some blue corn piñon waffle and pancake mix. I look forward to my next visit! read more

Food was great as always!!! CFS is the best!!! Stacked chicken enchiladas were also great!!!

I've had a dinner and a breakfast there over the last few days. The food is good and servings plentiful - go hungry when you go. Service varied from pretty good to excellent. The green chili chicken stew is more of a soup than a stew, but quite tasty and while a bit spicy, not overly so. For my dinner entree I had the green chili chicken enchiladas and they were very good. For dessert I had the roadhouse chocolate cake and the slice I was served while rich and moist on the inside had rather dried edges where the cake had been sliced as if it had been sitting out for a while. All the same it was delicious. For breakfast I had the huevos rancheros with scrambled eggs and with the green chili. I had a side of the turkey jalapeño sausage and that was only fair -dry and flavorless except for the peppers. I topped my midday breakfast off with a slice of carrot cake and quite honestly it was as good as I have ever had and can't recommend that strongly enough for carrot cake lovers. Service from George was absolutely exemplary! Although I had a number of friends rave about the place, I can't get overly excited about it myself. The decor was that of an old school diner and there was display of toy/child size kitchen stoves high up on a shelf in the main dining room that was unique. They have very friendly staff and it is a very good place, just not excellent. read more

We had a fantastic breakfast with kindest waiter serving us. The decor is on point for The Range and the art is phenomenal. Lots of eye candy. When you are finished eating and enjoying the restaurant be sure to shop their t-shirts and signature food items. The to-go bakery case is a full head turner! I wish we could eat her every meal. read more

Great place to come while traveling in the area, especially at one of the resorts nearby, as the drive isn't as long as going to restaurants in the city of Albuquerque. We actually went 3 times here during our 3 night stay because the desserts and food were amazing and far better than some other spots in the area. Definitely would recommend and will be returning next time we visit. read more

So, I was visiting a very pretty lady in beautiful NM! She had to be really pretty because it was and 1800-mile trip! In this teeny tiny town of 10,000 this delightful restaurant is closing in on 600 reviews with a 4.5-star average. Can you say Whoahhhh! Atmosphere- Eclectic, whimsical and funky all come to mind. It is part restaurant, part full bar, part pastry bar, part store, and part art gallery all in all in a mis-mash that works wonderfully! Adult Libations- I had a Blood Orange Marg @ $9 and it was bursting with flavor and the appropriate strength. It was close to perfection! Food- I ordered Corn Pancakes with a side of Bacon @ $12. OMG they were good! You could taste the corn in every bite. The bacon was cooked perfectly! Customer Service- Five stars! Every T was crossed and every I was dotted! If these fine folks were in my town in Florida, I'd roll out a sleeping bag and live there! Five stars! read more

Range Café never disappoints. Always super busy, but our server is Kaitlyn , made sure Me and my pump were well taken care of. Yes, it is very dog friendly and the gift shop is fab. For breakfast there's no other choice: huevos rancheros. With blue corn tortillas. When traveling between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, our car steering wheel automatically exits at Bernalillo. Tell your car to do the same and you will be very happy you did. read more

It's a feast for the eyes in here, mental overload to take it all in. Andrea is waiting on us today. She's nice and attentive. Ordered a mocha latte with rich chocolate, added 2 shots, as it comes with only one shot. A hot chocolate with no whipped cream. A huevos con queso, eggs over hard, chili turkey sausage instead of bacon and the chili con queso on the side. $49.31. The pecan and cinnamon roll (topped with sugar) are huge here, as big as your face. Would have gotten the cinnamon roll if the icing was cream cheese based, that's my jam. The mocha rich chocolate was yummy. The hot chocolate is decent with the Ghirardelli chocolate, not super rich, but still not bad. The huevos ranchero here wasn't too bad, but the huevos con queso stole the show, the queso was more appealing and tasty and just as creamy to me, since I am not a fan of the hollandaise sauce much. The chili con queso sauce was good, the chili turkey sausage wasn't bad either. My hubby preferred my huevos con queso over his huevos rancheros, me too. The receipt really threw me off, the first line after the amount is for charity, then the tip and the the final total. My signed receipt looked like a mess trying to put the tip on the right line. read more

What a charming place! We stopped in while traveling to a family wedding. We each ordered a lunch meal and got enough food for dinner as well. I ordered the chicken fried steak, a must while in the area. Delish! It was a huge portion and the food was great! My mom ordered the meatloaf. She enjoyed it, very much. We just finished up our leftovers and are very satisfied. read more

We hadn't been in a very long time. We were disappointed. The food was okay, the menu was 80% less than it used to be with only a handful of options that we didn't go for but we were already there so we ordered. I felt there was way more alcoholic beverages than menu items which implied more bar options. It's a restaurant that's been around forever, a staple in NM where I would often recommend people to go to for their abundant options of food which is no longer. Staff is nice but I want lots of food options. I get things are way more expensive these days and that means cuts but it was still disappointing. Likely won't return. read more

The Range Cafe has become a must-visit stop whenever we visit our friends in Albuquerque. The decor is colorful, the atmosphere is friendly, and the inside is deceptively large. While you're waiting for a table there is a nice gift shop that's ready take a few of your dollars for some branded merchandise, some local herbs/spices, local-made salsas, books, and even a selection of craft beers. The dining room is an area of constant activity, with the staff busy taking care of customer's needs. The service is efficient without being overbearing. I've ordered the breakfast burrito and 1) have never been disappointed and 2) gone away hungry. Seriously. The breakfast burrito should be called the Lasts All Day Burrito. For an extra twist, order it with Christmas Style...that's two different sauces, Red and Green. It's makes for a great meal. It's look awesome, too (unfortunately I didn't get a picture of it before I dove into it with gusto.). They have one...no two...no, three...THREE gift shops. From crafts from local artisans to wines to old fashioned candies (Laffy Taffy®!) to tshirts, there is A LOT to chose from. The menu is extensive, and all very reasonably priced. For a great, destination-worthy meal, head on out to The Range. read more

So I'm going to talk first about the dessert because it was soo good and unique for me. I had to taste their pecan cinnamon roll. So so good. It was perfect softness. I would go back just for that. Since I knew I was going to order that goodness because you see the desserts as they sit you, I wanted something light. I ordered the shrimp tacos. They are generous with the shrimp and are regular size. It has a sauce on it that has a little kick to it but not burn your tongue off. They ask if you want the rice and beans- I ordered just the rice and I wasn't a fan of it. Too mushy for me but could be something you like. The service was good. They do have people helping to get refills, other items that you need and the person we got, needs to work on people skills. Asked, "Are you done" as opposed to, "would you like me to take this for you?" Then when I asked for my dessert, was asked, "to go?" I'm like, no.. I'm going to eat it here. So not sure what happened there. The ambiance is nice. Cute and very tourist as they have a shop attached to buy things. I would go buy for that dessert. read more

The Range Cafe in downtown Bernalillo has long been a local favorite on account of a menu featuring hearty diner favorites like country fried steak and gravy, and zesty New Mexican classics like Chile Rellenos and Huevos Rancheros. Most of all, though, it's the genial, welcoming staff: no matter how busy they get, you'll never feel rushed. Stopping in at The Range always feels a little like coming home; the colorful ambience never fails to cheer. This visit, my wife and I started out with Rey's Nachos, a giant, confetti-colored mesa constructed of black beans, tender shredded chicken, crumbled white cheddar cheese and Mexican cojita, with chile con queso, freshly chopped guacamole and pico de gallo, fresh lettuce, chopped tomato, and blue & white corn chips, the whole thing laced with a lightly seasoned smoked chile crema. The best nachos in the universe. For supper she ordered the Country Fried Steak, a Route 66 classic consisting of a succulent breaded fried cutlet smothered in savory cream gravy, served with homemade mashed potatoes (with soft, buttery chunks of potato, which is how you know it's homemade), accompanied by a delicious side dish of yellow squash sautéed with fresh corn and onions. Her only complaint was that there was too much food. I had The Range's signature Plato Combinación del Rancho, which consisted of a blue corn chile relleno, two rolled lean beef blue corn enchiladas, one chicken taco dressed with smoked chile crema; savory pinto beans, twin moats of red and green chile ("Christmas"), the whole thing topped with melted white cheddar, and accompanied by a mouth-watering mound of arroz verde ("green rice"), an aromatic side dish consisting of basmati rice cooked with parsley, cilantro, spinach flakes, olive oil, garlic and scallions. I'll never eat plain rice again. My only complaint is that I couldn't possibly eat all that food. But that's a good problem to have. Two sets of entushiastic thumbs up! read more

Fantastic place. They were packed for Sunday breakfast, so I found a spot a the bar in the rear. The bar-tender, I thin her name was Dani, was awesome. A couple came in when the lady next to me was leaving, so I moved over to make room. They were my new pals. Then a guy came in as I was eating and sat down next to me. Also a new pal, as we chatted about the food then work, life, etc. So ... the atmosphere is awesome. The staff is super friendly. The place is spotless. What struck me the most, was the patrons are so friendly. They were all regulars and knew each other and welcomed the out-of-towner. I was even invited back next Sunday! But on to the food ... the Bacon Flight ... well, it is bacon done several ways ... all excellent. Nothing else to say here. This Chicken Egg-chilada was out of this world tasty! Next time I am passing through, I will be stopping in! read more
