Yea this cranksandwich so good my stomach celebrating like it just won a championship

If you love fried chicken and fried chicken sandwiches, you'll absolutely love kūKri. The sauces they use and the combination of spices is delectable. I discovered them late last year and am addicted to their sliders. I think all, or most, of their locations are in food halls. I've been to three of them, though this one (inside 505 Central Food Hall) is my favorite. That's not because I can walk here. It's the staff. They seem to be the most attentive, spirited and friendly. They always get my order right. Sure food halls can be noisy, but it's still a fun place to go and you can always chill out in the Humble coffee next door. read more

Yummy food. Good variety and amount of options. The pizza place was my favorite. It seems like a popular spot. They say they close at 9 but they started cleaning at 8:15 and were out of there by 8:50pm. We felt rushed to get out. read more

Tried the Stackers Burger-Smash Burger restaurant for the first time with my kiddo. Fries were not available when they opened. Staff said it would be a long wait so we just ordered burgers. The burgers were okay. The fountain drink seemed watered down for some reason. The lids on the to go cups don't fit and fall off easily. We'll try a different restaurant if we go back to the food hall as the environment was nice to sit at while eating. read more

Lots of options, which is good because (let's be honest) downtown Albuquerque doesn't offer much other than bars, Mexican food, and an occasional food truck in the evenings. We had the THICC deep dish pizza and it was really good + reasonably priced ($20 if I recall correctly). One pizza is sufficient for two people. The atmosphere is good, not too noisy, and it was a short walk from our hotel. read more

Our group tried smash burgers, KuKri, and these Chinese food (I forget the name). The general consensus was that the food was a C+/B- with the exception of the smash burgers (the people who ordered those in our group said they really enjoyed them). Next time I'd try a smash burger or one of the pizzas with the hot honey. read more

This is a fun food hall with several options. It's a great spot to bring friends from out of town, have a large group get together, have a quick lunch, or just enjoy a night out. This is a great option if not everyone can agree on what to eat. Parking is a bit tricky, but it's free street parking after 6 pm. Be sure to check out this food hall solo, friends, family - you'll have a great time. Just as a heads up: 1) If you're alone at night, always watch our six. Things tend to get a bit rowdy later in the night with people on central. 2) The food here is expensive. 3) If noise bothers you then a heads up because it does get pretty loud in here. Personally, I prefer Sawmill, but you should definitely check out both and make the better choice for yourself. They also have events like college night, trivia night, and happy hour is 4-7 everyday. Enjoy! read more

The best food option in all of Albaqurq Albaquer Albuqer downtown, so it's a great place to hang, especially for tourists waiting for the train to Santa Fe. It's what you'd expect from an urban food hall: a clean, hipsterish, industrial, minimalistic yet loud, food-trucky indoor food court. What sets it apart is that it hosts trivia night, karaoke night, open mic, etc. I would have gotten THICC PIZZA CO's Detroit Style Pizza, but I was short on time. My wife got tater tots from STACKERS BURGER CO. Their signs say "SHAKES" though they don't have shakes, and they have no veggie burger options. She also got a grilled cheese from STACKT SANDWICH, though it was dry, not buttery. I got fries with al pastor from TINO's TACOS, a little too-smothered in green chile. There's also a hot chicken place (KUKRI), ramen (NARUTO), coffee (HUMBLE), brats (PACKIE'S BAR), a microbrewery/cocktail bar (MOONWALK), and a bathroom that requires a code. I had to press 3939 to make a 2. read more

The concept at 505 Central Food Hall is really neat--definitely a fun spot to check out, especially if you're with a group. There's a solid variety of food stalls to choose from, and the bars were well-stocked with a great vibe. We ordered from three different vendors and everything we had was good. Not the best food I've ever had, but tasty enough to enjoy and worth the visit. It's the kind of place that's more about the experience--casual, lively, and great for groups who all want something different. I'd go back for sure. read more

I had a great smash burger here. Usually, I'm not a fan due to the grease, but these were pretty good. No grease here. The process were a little on the high side. It was about $12 for a small burger. The 2 star demotion was due to hygiene. I was people watching and some of the vendors seemed to be violating some health codes. For example, I observed some getting food and bring it back to eat while the cooks were making food. The food hall was large and had plenty of vendors. Many of the people coming in walked around several times before settling on something. There's bathrooms available and free ice water. As a note, there's a lot of homeless in this area. Some have mental impairments and yell at people walking by. Just keep to yourself and make sure you travel with someone. read more

Accidentally stumbled upon the food hall when driving thru the area. Unfortunately, there are a significant amount of homeless people walking around the outside area of this part of town. We walked around the building to check out the food options and decided on the smash burgers. Pretty tasty and not that greasy. Other options in the food hall include sushi, pizza, cocktails, and coffee. read more

Great place for many options. You can get so many different things. It's always a little loud in the evenings, I prefer going during the day. Most places have great service. Everywhere has their off days. read more

Had a great time. Large eating space with several choices of food stalls. There are many different seating areas. Had the veggie nachos and my dining companion had carne asada fries. She got them with red and green chile. The chile was delicious and had a kick. My nachos were very big, freshly made with veggies like squash and corn. I will come back. read more

Had a work party here tonight. Loved the casual vibe, good food and was decorated nicely for Christmas. Biggest success of the event though was Owen who took good care of our group. He checked in regularly and was easy to find when I needed him, usually cleaning tables or helping someone with something. He followed up on every question and wanted to be sure we had a good event. I would go back just for his service. read more

Cute little food hall in downtown ABQ. Nice find within 10 minutes walking distance from the convention center, where everything else in between was littered with empty store fronts and closed restaurants. Many of options to choose from and plenty of seating. read more

What a fun place to eat. There were several choices. I had sushi and a great cup of coffee afterwards. read more

Amazing venue with several food options! We will definitely go again next time we are in the area!

It was pricey and the Barria tacos were super small. I'd rather have just 3 big ones instead of 5 little ones. My husband loved his smashed burger though. They want you to tip but don't serve you like a restaurant, weird. I used to bust my ass for tips not make the customer do everything and then ask us to tip. Do better and I'll tip when service is rendered. read more

What an amazing place. I wish that I'd found it sooner. Unfortunately it was the night that Albuquerque flooded and they closed early but the time that I spent there was completely satisfying and fun! The diversity of flavors gave me all the choices I needed although I really wanted French Dip and they were closed due to a power failure but that's not their fault. I'll be back. Oh, the carnitas at the taco place were bright and exceptionally well crafted. Washed it down with a Mexican Coke. Win win. read more

The pizza is good. The sushi is decent. Would go back to try the hamburgers. The bar makes really good drinks

The smash burger is amazing. We went back a second time before leaving Albuquerque. It's not a huge food hall and you might find fancier food at the Sawmill, but this was an authentic urban reuse Cool! read more

Good variety and decent tasting food. Their sliders are good. I appreciate the lots of options.

This place is worth the stop if you like options and food halls, there was live music on a Tuesday which was cool. Good for kids for food and adults for more adult styled beverages read more

Great variety of local eats at this well maintained food hall with a good amount of nearby street parking. We came midweek and stumbled on trivia which was fun to listen in on. If we lived in the area this is definitely someplace I could see us frequently. We had great service from the four vendors we tried- Milkshakes from the burger place, a hibiscus tea from Stackt, ramen from Naruto 505 (get the curry ramen!- so much flavor and good brisket) and a chicken sandwich from KūKri- depends in what you're in the mood for. We almost got the pizza- that also looked A plus if you're into Detroit style. Overall, great experience and would recommend. read more

Coming from a city with several HUGE indoor food halls (and the food truck capital of the world), this food hall was underwhelming. However, based on our walk from the hotel, it was the best option for lunch. They have two bars, a hamburger place, a pizza place, a sushi place, and a ramen place. We had a few drinks and chicken sandwiches from the hamburger restaurant. The restroom is locked with keypad, so ask for the code. read more

Selection of options is ver small. Not setup in best fashion compared to other halls. Drinks were limited.

Came in on a Monday night 8 o'clock . They close at 9. The beertender is cleaning up, can tell from his face and the face of the old lady sitting they aren't happy to have a customer. Says something like " what ya looking for" a drink ass hole , what did he think. He does everything reluctantly. Weird guy and his old girlfriend. Can tell when someone doesn't have much experience other than that job. Just another shitty Albuquerque beertender read more

The area is pretty sketchy. The food was ok, had the salad at one of the pizza places. They did not have a full menu at some of the places. It was ok, but not alot of choices. They are very busy, so I didn't feel the place was the best spot to get dinner. read more

Perfect menu for a hotel restaurant. Food was plentiful and tasty. Service was efficient and attentive.

Was okay for the first few minutes until I tried to get a drink. A friend was walking by so I shouted out to see if she wanted a drink. That's when the weird bartender chic turned around with attitude asking me, "please don't yell, I don't like it." Lmao. Well, maybe you're too sensitive to be working in a karaoke bar? Never mind, I'll get my refreshments elsewhere. I should come back when I'm less sensitive? I was calling out to a friend to see if she wanted a drink. Maybe you shouldn't hire sensitive bartenders with attitude problems. No worries, though, I'll be sure never to visit your ridiculous establishment ever again. read more

Another place that knows what it is, and I appreciate that. Great vibe, open seating, good selection. From other reviews I went with the kukri chicken with queso and fries combo. Coupled with a nice lager I'm really pleased and would recommend. The spicy has some kick. The chicken was nicely done and with some green chilis had good flavor. All by myself :( so didn't try anything else, but people seemed happy around me and the other food looked good. Definitely worth a try if you want a great casual place to hang out. read more

One of my favorite places to come when everyone wants different food or want to grab drinks before eating. There are about 6 different food places to choose from, a bar, and a coffee spot right next door. You can get pizza, burgers, tacos, ramen and more. One of my favorite times to eat here is Friday night for karaoke. It's so fun and even the staff gets in on it. The food places are all individually owned so they might change but we will definitely be back. read more

This food court is located in the middle of ABQ downtown, so if you are in the area, it's a good place to stop by to grab meals, especially if people in your party cannot decide or agree on what they want to eat. There's some selection there but it's just a bit of everything like a shop for burgers, pizza, seafood, ramen tacos, beer, etc But there are also some things I would love to see there that are not there like desserts or drinks specialized shops or heck Chinese food (since I'm Asian :D!) The food prices were ok. They were not cheap. The place, however, seem to lack patrons/diners, when we stopped by on a weekday evening. It could be that in the evening, the area turns a little bit shady. Lots of homeless/questionble people around..so personally I don't feel as safe as a female. Overall, though for different/varied food selection, I don't mind going there..but it's not like I'm dying to go there again any time soon. I wish the businesses there well to get more foot traffic though..because it seemed, despite its newness, there seemed to be more employees than diners there. read more

First if you say your open til 9 your establishments need to be open til 9. We came in about 8:15 and only 2 of the restaurants were open. I chose to eat at the chicken place. The girl taking my order definitely needs training. First off there I could barely hear her and had to keep asking her to repeat herself. I'm sure that was annoying to her but I can tell without a doubt it was annoying to me. Next she asked what kind of sauce did I want. Being my first time I don't know what choices I had and when I asked she didn't know what choices there were either. So I asked what the one and only sauce was like that I saw. She said it was their house sauce. I said great what's it taste like? She said she hadn't tried it. The actual meal was ok and the sauce I chose was good but there was no water out for us to drink and the restaurant kept telling us to go get water from there. Overall frustrating experience. read more

It was my first time here. Visited on a Saturday afternoon. It's situated in Downtown, Alburquerque. Parking is a little difficult, especially when you're not familiar with the area. Which I was not, but luckily I found a space. Walked around to the front of the venue. Found the sticker wall that they had there and decided to put a sticker on it. When entering the venue, at the doorway, we were greeted by a friendly staff member that went through all the rules of the social distancing. We even had to get our temperatures checked before entering which is totally fine with me. The Food hall offers 9 different local vendors. We decided on a few to try, so that next time we go back we will try the others. I really didn't do too much exploring since we had to social distance. Most of the space inside includes a huge Moon, part of Moonwalk Bev, wall of different sized globes and scripted text, by Humble Coffee. But it looks spacious there and the aroma of the different cuisines, fantastic! I couldn't wait to dig into some grub. Ate a little of everything to taste the different sustenances offered there. We tried the Poke bowl from Pier None, Teriyaki bowl from Wild Rosemary, Tonkatsu ramen from Naruto Ramen and a pizza called, "Yo Adrian!" from Thicc Pizza. All of the entrees were all different and tasty. We enjoyed the ambience and the food. We received good customer service, which is hard to come by these days. We appreciate that there is a place like this to go to and visit during this pandemic. Thank you! read more

Several good choices, all with fast service, reasonable prices and great food! From sushi to burgers, it's all good.

505 Central Food Hall is a great spot for a casual lunch or a delicious bite before hitting downtown. The atmosphere is very chill and open. All of the food is excellent! Stackers is probably the best burger in town. And service is always impeccable- no matter which business you patron. I've been here on a casual night out and had some excellent people watching. It's easy to find a spot with a few friends that feels intimate and quiet. I like that the layout isn't one open area like a cafeteria but rather spread out around the floor. We've also taken our kids and all had different food then grabbed a coffee at Humble before hitting up the library or zoo. If you haven't been, you're missing out! read more

Walked in and was immediately drenching in sweat. Was the AC even on? The smell of body odor and other things was over bearing and I unfortunately could not fathom an appetite afterward. Basic foods: tacos, burgers, pizza, and ramen. There are 2 vendors who sell alcoholic drinks. Not missing out on much. read more
