    For 13 of us, the service was exceptional! Rudy, our waiter had help from his buddies in the kitchen bringing out amazing dishes. We'll be back!

    We walked in Range Cafe and was seated at a booth right away. It was very convenient while we had a small toddler who needed to sit in a booster seat. Service was very prompt with everything until the end where it did slow down bc it got busier. We did order a lot of food for 3 adults and 1 child. We spent about $120 after tip. I really enjoyed my Ruby Red Grapefuit juice, and would order it again. I had to share it with my toddler. I actually finished aafter we were done eating. I didn't finish my breakfast, however, bc it was a lot of food. I added impossible chorizo patties on top of my huevos rancheros with Christmas chili. Everything tasted fantastic. I will mention that my biscuit wasn't as tall as I remembered it last time. It looked like a basic biscuit, which was a little disappointing. I did enjoy it with the jelly anand butter. We ordered a brownie to-go, and I didn't enjoy it. I've never had trouble eating brownies, either. Even my family didn't really enjoy it. :/ Overall, will come again and try other dishes, and the pastries.

    Don't miss this place when you're in the Santa Ana Pueblo/Bernalilo area of New Mexico. In fact make it a point to go out of your way to get there if you have to. It is an amazing meal. We came here to try the Christmas breakfast burrito. And my friend had the Blue Corn Relleno Plate. Both were excellent probably the best chile relleno I've had in a while. The red sauce was a little too late for me a bit on the mild side and not so heavy with the red chile, but I was able to get an extra side of the green chile which more than made up for it. Tried the pickle juice bloody Mary which came with all the trimmings and was so delicious and my friend had the scotch ale. Hands down the service was excellent and attentive. Just wish we had had room for dessert. Especially when we past the bakery on the way out. The whole environment was wonderful and interesting with so many wall hangings including art for sale. The café is an institution.

    Stopped in for dinner and some drinks since I hadn't been in a while. I love the decor in this spot, it's really just a fun atmosphere. It wasn't crowded and we got seated right away. Probably a good thing, since otherwise I would have been hanging out near the dessert case and they all look so good that that's never the best plan. I might forget that I intended to get a meal! The server was great about giving us time to read through the menu and make our decisions. She was also good about checking on us periodically, making sure the water glasses were full and we didn't need anything else. I got a house margarita and the relleno plate and they both hit the spot perfectly. The rellenos had a good amount of cheese and the chiles (I got mine Christmas) had a good kick to it. The margarita was a good accompaniment and definitely paired well. I need to remember to go back more often.

    Wonderful lunch at range cafe!! 10% off your entree if you order a dessert before you order your meal, so I got the cream puff and it was AMAZING!! We all did the Thursday nacho special and it was delicious and a great deal! The service here is always INCREDIBLE, the staff is so sweet and kind!

    Here we are again at a restaurant in Albuquerque where I just want to start off by bragging about wonderful customer service. Annemarie was amazing, bubbly, and positive! It's professional servers like this that almost make you demand yourself to return. Thanks for making our day! The atmosphere was cute, with bright colors and lots of characters to see, and a giant bar! The food was..... amazing! Darn it! I want to find something not near perfect. Sitting next to my beautiful women makes it even better! I ate the huevos rancheros. She had the carne adovada and grits. And shared a turtle caramel, apple cheesecake! O'yeah! It was great. We're talking about returning after church tomorrow! No joke!

    We really enjoyed our meal here! We saw the plates were huge so we decided to share a plate. We got The Wagon with the blue corn pancakes! YUM! Had the mismosa flight as well, freshly squeezed orange juice. Nice bang for our buck. Our waitress was really nice and helped us navigate to the balloon festival! Very friendly location to enjoy brunch. Part of two we waited 35 minutes. Very chill place!

    The place has a lovely southwestern ambience, and some really fun sayings on the walls. One of the shared that desserts is stressed spelled backwards, and exhorted patrons to try their desserts. Smart campaign, and we bought into it. The waitress was really sweet, and attentive, and got all of our complex orders correct. Food tasted great.

    It still feels like its former incarnation as a JB's to me, but Matt DiGregory's The Range Café on Wyoming has been here for some time now. It's reliable, but it's not the first place I ever think to head. The food is usually okay but sometimes disappointing and somehow doesn't ever seem as good as at the newer EDO location (that used to be DiGregory's Standard Diner) or the original location in Bernalillo, and the room doesn't feel as nifty, either. End result is that, while this is the closest outlet of the restaurant to where I live, it's the one I visit the least. But I'd like to pay well earned respect to our terrific server Nikki, who made our lunch today feel like something special: she was patient, on-it and welcoming in such a friendly way that we are more likely to give this location another go here soon.

    Cool interior

    We heard about their Green chili stew and we had to go try it out. It is DELICIOUS. Very filling loaded with vegetables. We also had the Green Chile toaster they are delicious as well. Our waitress was AnnMarie. She is so cute and an awesome waitress!!

    Volaré Rooftop Bar is located in Uptown Albuquerque inside the…read more Element by Westin Hotels. I went up for a nightcap on November 25, 2025. I sat a brief while at the bar before being greeted and later served a "Sandia Sunset" (watermelon, orange juice, pineapple juice, grenadine) made with vodka (around $12). The views were nice of both the city lights and the silhouettes of the Sandia Mountains. The bar was chic. By all accounts, this place seems to be not a chain and not a franchise either, Brian G. (per your review from 12.14.2025), but an independently-founded and owned bar. When I explored the patio, it was quite windy that night, but I thought I could handle a few swigs next to the smokeless fire pits. Several seating arrangements I went to each had dirty dishes. I didn't like the crowd vibe inside so I just took my drink to my room. I'd definitely visit again, but hopefully next time hand-in-hand with a particular tall dark handsome man.

This time was no different in terms of our server's attention, personality, efficiency, and overall demeanor. V ~ was great and thank you! I am personally giving 3 stars for this bar/restaurant for 2 reasons: 1) the online menu is not updated with prices - I will delve into this more in a minute, and 2) kitchen service was slower than expected. Here is a link to their menu online: https://drive.google.com/file/d/148CplSivVBTXmrWlSO46WytoWdpd0REA/view I got the hard seltzer which was supposed to be $7 but I ended up paying $10 for a can of seltzer. Got 2 and the total without tip with tax was over $21. Seriously! that is friggin outrageous. I would have gotten wine if I wanted to spend that much. TRULY HARD SELTZER | 7 Hard Seltzer | 5.0% ABV Secondly, 7 out of 8 of us ordered food and 1 person had to ask for her crostini 3 or 4 times. Our lovely server did take it off of her check but nontheless, we were all done eating by the time she got her food and she was so gracious about it. Another thing: why can't I make a reservation in advance for a group of more than 4 when the place was clearly not busy at 4 pm on a Tuesday? We make 3 separate reservations for 4 people. This is a social group, and we meetup via MEETUP weekly. People will RSVP and then cancel. We had 12 coming and then 8 showed up. I am not certain we will resturn.

Every cocktail feels like a work of art. Beautiful presentation, unique flavor combinations, and clearly crafted with serious attention to detail.

Overall, Teddy Roe's isn't just a bar--it's an experience. If you're looking for somewhere unique, a little mysterious, and full of personality, this place absolutely delivers.

I didn't see a drink on their menu that I liked that was rum based, so I asked the kind bartender if they could make me one. I only asked that it be alcohol forward, but that I was good if it was a more fruity drink too. They brought me a concoction that was perfect. It's a real nice place. The ornate ceiling and the beautiful bar added to the regal vibes of the place. I would definite recommend Teddy's; it's one of the best speakeasies in town.

So, she can order seltzers or wine, but a glass of wine (which she prefers, is $12 or so -- pretty pricey. I don't drink alcohol and I don't consume sugar, so I can either get water (takes like hose water) or they have a quanine water in a small bottle - 10oz I think and it's about $4 I think (they don't have a menu with prices online). On the plus side, if you like sports then you will like their TVs. Never a cover charge, and you can bring in food from outside since there is no kitchen here. There is plenty of parking. Overall nice place, but the service is sometimes off - usually 1 bartender on week night. In order for me and my pals to return, they need to offer more reasonably priced wine and add more non-alcohol options. Some establishments offer Athletic brand NA which I like. Clausthaler now has a new IPA NA that is wonderful, and something like a canned sparkling water - La Croix would work too.

I first visited around the holidays when I was visiting. Was not a good experience, service was lacking... and I walked away thinking: it's like half Denny's half dive bar... now that I'm living in Abq I was looking for a beer and a bite and because its proximity to where I am staying, returned... and it was not good. Dirty bar top, servers who barely recognize you, standing at the end of bar sucking a lollipop while guests could be helped. Seeing the bar was dirty, they did clean it and got a drink.. asked for a menu; it was disgusting. There was dried food all over it. It was sticky. And badly damaged . The kind of menu you should be ashamed to present. And, after finishing my drink.... and staring into an empty glass as servers walked past me without asking if I wanted - anything... (I asked for a menu because I was hungry. And no one asked if I wanted to order food . ) When the server did ask if I wanted another beer- she finally asked if I wanted to order any food .... "not any longer" I replied.... great location, great promise, But even the sign taped to the front door stating they won't serve you more than 4 drinks... so that means they don't want my business I guess... because I like watching sports at bars.... four beers during a baseball or football game??

The taquitos tasted like a regular ones you would get from Cotsco. The fish was nothing special. Again it tasted like a frozen fish that was fried up. The best part of that fish was the steak fries. The chile cheese fries would have been better if they used steak fries in my opinion. They also could have seasoned the chile. The waitress was ok, the food runner did come around and ask how the food was. Overall it was average. If you like frozen Sysco food, this is the place for you.
