The menu is extensive and every plate of food turns out to be delicious. I highly recommend the food but the background radio that plays all the time is annoying. We asked to have it turned down and we were told it would not be turned out. What a shame to have wonderful food with a radio distraction. read more

Absolutely fantastic. Vacationing and we wanted to try the local food and Vick's did not disappoint. I had the huevos rancheros and it was delicious. My dad had a breakfast burrito smothered in red chili which simply does not exist where we are from and it was excellent. The service was great and the decor inside was nice and well thought out. I have been home from vacation for about a week now and already want to return for some of this awesome food! read more

1 star because you can't give 0. Used to be a great place to eat. Good food., great service, nice environment. Everything's changed. All new staff that clearly don't understand the restraunt business. Went in today for breakfast, seated in the back. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. Took longer than normal to get waited on. Placed our order, had to correct the waitress several time on our order. Waited quite awhile, long enough to need more coffee. None was coming so had to call out to another waitress to get more. Our waitress did come back to bring the coffee. Before she got there we were discussing the fact that the entire staff was new. She must have overheard us and took it as some kind of slight to her. Two minutes later the manager came over to inform us that we were being rude to her server and that she would be taking over our service. After some discussion my wife said, "this is ridiculous, guess we won't be coming here again" the manager said "well I'll cancel your order and you can leave now". We said we didnt want her to cancel our order and she just said have a nice day. So we left. Sooo not the Vicks Vittles of the past. read more

Nice staff! Ample parking. You can get in from Zuni if you don't want to turn left into lot on Central. I ordered the breasted pork chop that came with choice of hash browns or country spuds and choice of toast. I got the spuds and wheat toast. The 2 pieces of toast each cut in half comes pre-buttered with a couple small packets of jam. My potatoes were cold, but the eggs were perfectly cooked to my specifications of sunny side up with runny yoke. The broasted pork chop was bone-in and delicious. Broasting is pressure cooking in a deep fry. You get juicy meat with a crunchy outer side. I grew up in IN with broasted chicken but never had a broasted pork chop before. Highly recommend! read more

04/13/26 First of all, don't let the other reviews of a "sketchy" area deter you from visiting Vick's Vittles. The area looks old and poor, but near the restaurant, we didn't see anything sketchy. When we were leaving, we did see some homeless people at the main intersection, but we didn't see anything we'd describe as sketchy. We did notice there is a mobile home park behind the restaurant, but there is a wall between the mobile home park and the restaurant parking lot. Even if there were police surrounding the mobile home park, we'd still venture inside to eat. The food is that good. We shared the cowboy breakfast burrito and the Santa Fe pancakes. Both were filling and ridiculously good. The Santa Fe pancakes made with blue corn, roasted piñons, green chili, and cheddar jack cheese were different than anything else we've ever had. I'll admit I didn't love my first bite or two, but the more I ate, the more I wanted. The pancakes are dry, but if you drizzle some syrup, it's the perfect match. The accompanying eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly. The cowboy breakfast burrito is massive, filling, and worth every calorie. Even though we were stuffed, we had to get the peach with green chile turnover. We asked if the turnover is served warm and our waitress replied that she could warm it up for is. I'm not sure that it is normally served warm, but I highly recommend it. The turnover flaky, the glaze was silky once warmed up and the peach with green chile was unique and delicious. Five star service and food. I highly recommend Vick's Vittles and hope that I'm in the area again so I can try more of this delicious food. read more

Upgrading my review of Vick's Vittles Country Kitchen by a star, because the food we were served on yesterday's visit was again notably delicious and piping hot. However - no fault of the restaurant - the area has gotten "challenged" enough that I have a hard time finding friends who are willing to come. I've been coming here for years, since before Mr. Vick took over and vastly improved this down-home restaurant. We used to bring friends here often: it's an approachable menu for out-of-town guests and the no fuss space with kitschy decor that puts everyone at ease. Nowadays I have difficulty getting anyone to come (although I note Vick's Vittles still appears to be doing a bang-up business with lots of folks coming all the time) along with me. Sure the lot has always proven safe, but the terrible location has gotten even worse (not going to go into the issues - we all know them). Nowadays when I suggest Vick's, I'm usually shot down by someone in the group because of this. The serving size and pricing are fine - a value, even, and the food we were yesterday served was tasty and hot. While Vick's chile has always been a little less picante than in many local places, what I got yesterday (after requesting the spicy stuff) was perfectly legitimate. And the other stuff on the plates was done just right. The staff is still efficient and hustling, smiling all the while. They'll get you seated and take care of you fast. If you can handle the drive through the challenged area, your car should be safe in the lot and you'll enjoy the meal at Vick's Vittles. read more

Saturday morning breakfast at this spot was great! Rough neighborhood but fantastic food!! The service was awesome; everyone was so kind and welcoming. My coffee was always be topped off even for a busy Saturday. Got the cowboy burrito with the green chili gravy and loved every bite. It was huge but still manageable for one person. I'll be back for sure and will recommend to anyone needing a solid Saturday morning breakfast. read more

We had a hearty brunch at this cute little restaurant while visiting Albuquerque. It's a cozy space that was nicely decorated for the holidays. The food was made and served with generous amount of butter and syrup and everything we ordered (waffle, French toast, pumpkin pecan pancakes) was sweet and delicious. Service was ok and restroom was a little dirty. read more

Food was pretending!! Service was next level and ambiance was that of old. Met a friend there for brunch

This is a classic rustic diner / cafe with all the kinds of all-day breakfast items you'd expect in New Mexico -- plenty of middle-of-the-road "American" choices, and then lots of Southwestern specialties. And plenty of ways to customize your order to taste and for the size of your appetite. The main drawback, as others have noted, is that the location where they've been for decades has grown steadily bleaker, with a sketchy feel even during broad daylight. I say this as someone who lives in a rural setting but who has lived in some of the biggest cities in the world and as a person who's not easily scared off by "rough" neighborhoods. It's perfectly safe, but you want your wits about you as you come and go. Service is fantastically efficient, friendly, and thorough. Really good food, based on my single experience -- I had a pancake, an egg, and sausage along with coffee, and I ordered the "Santa Fe" style pancake. It's made with blue corn meal in the flour, along with piñon nuts and a little cheese, and it's a very satisfying meal in itself. I left full and ready to go back if I find myself in that part of Albuquerque again with an empty stomach. read more

Service was a little slow, and the restroom could use some updating, but the food at Vick's Vittles is on point! We both had the Santa Fe breakfast - two eggs, a choice of bacon, ham, or sausage, and three blue corn pancakes filled with green chile, cheddar-jack cheese, and roasted piñons. Our eggs were fried just right and the pancakes were fantastic, with just enough heat from the chile to balance the sweet syrup. Delicious! read more

We discovered this ABQ gem when we first moved here. And even though its across town from where we live, we keep coming back for the delicious food and great service. The menu is large but has something for everyone. My go to's are the Southwest Benedict (spicy cheese sauce instead of hollandaise sauce...ummm yes please) , the Carne Adovada (NM spicy...like Thai spicy but better) and the Country Breakfast (country fried steak for breakfast? Because why not). For the kid in me, I always start with the hot chocolate (with whipped cream, of course). read more

I absolutely hate leaving a review that is anything but glowing for a local business - but I am leaving this review so that this local business does not die. Our servers were wonderful - and they earned the stars. We have been coming to this place since it was "Roper's." The cowboy burrito is mostly scrambled egg, now - and that's what makes it the size of a baby. What happened to all the chicken fried steak? Isn't that the point of this burrito? Also - you need to get someone who can spell, have proper grammar, eye for design, etc. to clean up your menu and website. It's like watching a friend show up sloppy to a wedding - we all just desire so much more for you. We WILL be returning to try again this year; I never give up on my local businesses! read more

After our first visit to the Ballon festival ,6 of us mosey down to Vick's Vittles for some huge breakfast's. We had the following: Blue Bonnet Cakes Plate, Out West Omelette with Onions and Avacado, Senior Breakfast Burrito, The Cow Poke, The Ranch Hand Chicken Fried Stake Skillet, and the Tamale Omelete. Speaking for myself , I had the Tamale Omelete. Never had a Tamale inside of a huge Omelete. It came with pinto beans green Chiles, Jack cheese and home fries. I had an English muffin too. I really enjoyed my breakfast as did everyone else. Our server Melissa was excellent . She took care of all our needs. I would go back and try another out of the box breakfast if we make it to another Ballon festival. read more

I was not fortunate enough to have visited Vic's Vittles when they were doing their infamous breakfast buffet, but their breakfast still hit the spot for me! Their menu, is jam packed so be prepared to look! They have some fun menu items like the tamale omelet smothered in chile! I've only visited during breakfast and would like to try lunch. Although they do have a porkchop breakfast plate that is perfect when you need more than the typical breakfast meats. The porkchop is really lightly breaded and fried too. It has just the right amount of crunch! Be prepared to leave, full. read more

Good, homemade meals, great service and a humble, quiet ambiance. We went there for lunch. Their onion rings are home made and delicious!! Green chile cream gravy, spot on!!! , and the chicken fried steak sandwich.....satisfied my craving.. Their Fried pork chop dinner....very good!!! My partner cleaned his plate!!! . I can't wait to go back for breakfast!!!! read more

I joined a friend here for lunch on July 28, 2025. There is good signage, and plenty of parking. Staff was friendly and we were seated right away. The decor is casual. The menu has many nice comfort food choices. I had half a tuna salad sandwich with a salad and enchilada soup. As the picture shows, the sandwich had many layers; further the tuna salad had a very nice flavor. The soup overall had a nice flavor and refreshing crunch on the top with the tortilla chips. Prices are reasonable. read more

I'm not sure if this place has a new owner but the quality of food has gone down! Hash browns seemed to be recycled and not cooked fresh. The potatoes were raw. The chile has no flavor. The best part of our meal was the coffee and toast. It was so disappointing and so was the service. Our server came back to our table once after we got our food to ask if we were done or needed anything. We were wanting more coffee and water. Ambiance has always been good but I don't go to spend alot of money for ambiance I go for good food. We probably won't be back, we have tried this place a few times and it has been disappointing, it used to be one of our favorite breakfast spots. read more

Not a huge fan of Vic's Vittle. The service is ok (most of the time, however it's usually hard to get someone's attention when you need something). The food is alright but a bit overpriced in my opinion for what it is. You're looking at spending 30-40$ for two people. The proportions arnt great, and again the wait times are a bit longer than your usual restaurant. Also for some reason some of the booths smell like mold??? We've experienced it multiple times coming into the restaurant. There are other places around town worth your time and money. And yes this place is in a sketchier part around town. The restaurant itself (from my experience) is relatively safe. But it's off of central for gods sake. Lots of garbage and unfortunately homeless people around. read more

Seated right away and given coffee. That is the only thing they did right. Ordered eggs, toast, bacon, potatoes. Everything on the plate was cold, except for the potatoes. Not lukewarm, but cold. The fact that the potatoes were hot must've meant everything else was ready and waiting on the potatoes. Ironically, I didn't even want potatoes. read more

This is a picture of a $10 senior breakfast. Very disappointed not only at the service which took 30 minutes but The quality of the food. The potatoes were very scarce and hard and dry. I ordered a flour tortilla on the side which within a few minutes got cold and hard. Crispy bacon was well over done. They did keep the coffee cup filled. Will not go back. read more

I have heard nothing but poor things about this place. I was shocked to see it was highly rated so I stopped in and it was as people have said. Poor service and poor quality food. Superior attitude, looking down on you. Seemed like we were a bother ran than a customer. read more

I've been told to go to this place for more than a year. I finally get to go with a friend the other day and let me tell you it did not disappoint on any level.

It was amazing it was super amazing I wanna go there now all the time and you should go there too read more

What the hell happened? I've always rated vick's 5 stars. Food was cold , hash browns were a mess. Got the coffee I didn't order, never got the water I did order. Had to chase the waitress to pay. Have gone there for years won't go back. read more

Love all the old western stuff. I noticed the hostess knew many of the customers by name and their favorite place to sit. That's definitely something you don't see much of anymore. The food was awesome and everything came out quickly which was nice so I could get to my con. I would definitely revisit them read more

Greasy spoon diner. Service was fine. Decor is ok. Eggs were fine. Potato's were rubbery and didn't taste very good. I couldn't eat them. Music is very bad but par for New Mexico. Nothing was terrible, honestly, it justt to wasn't very good. It's ok but there's better not far away. I don't expect to be back. read more

I haven't had the opportunity to do a review post Covid so here we go. We got here before the lunch crowd arrived, so easy to get a place to sit. Server was quick to bring menus and take a drink order - we hadn't sat down yet. We placed our order - Frito Pie and Eggs Benedict with sausage and Country Spuds. Our food arrived quickly and the quality is what we've come to expect. The Frito Pie had plenty of ingredients in the bowl - I hate when the chili & other toppings are gone but there's a 1/2 bowl of dry chips left. Both Frito Pie & Eggs Benedict were delicious. I'm not big on presentation. We just want good food. The biggest reason we keep coming here is the hospitality & quality of food. The staff is always friendly & the food comes at a reasonable price. read more

Good was great! You won't get the "best in ABQ", but for the price is defiantly somewhere I will return. The plates look exactly how you will see in pictures.

3 Stars = A Okay. Nothing was wrong, nothing was bad. This place was okay. The food was not memorable, but it was good. It's a large establishment with friendly staff. Service took a while, but it's because this place was packed. I definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area or have a large party of people (6+). I heard they have a buffet on weekends? But I'm not 100% sure about that. We went during the week and didn't see/read anything about breakfast buffet on weekends. Anyway! Check it out for yourself! read more

Parking lot was packed but we were immediately seated. Just a nice hometown restaurant with really good food. Service was fast and nice. No complaints. Will definitely come back again read more

Our waitress was super friendly. I was so excited to try the meat lovers huevos rancheros but I was sadly disappointed. I was expecting an explosion of 3 meat flavors in my mouth but nope. It was pretty boring. The eggs were well cooked and the hot green chile had a little bite but overall I was unimpressed. read more
