One of the best burger spots if not the best in New Mexico. The service was great and the the inside is pretty cool. Double green chili burger and the onion rings are BOMB!!! And you have to wash it down with a shake. Can't go wrong with this place read more

Fun little local find in the east mountains. We met some family here for a brunch and we really enjoyed our meal and experience. The staff is beyond friendly and makes an effort to get to know everyone. It felt like eating at my grandma's house for dinner. Just coming off of Whole 30, I opted for a veggie omelette and the staff allowed me to have a side of sweet potato fries. This was a delicious combination. My entire family enjoyed their meals. We will be back next time we are in town! read more

Burger Boy - Your choice omelette with bell peppers, onions and mushrooms. A side of sweet potato fries. - Burgers Near Me - Cedar Crest, New Mexico

Friendly cashier took our order, repeating it back to us to be sure it was correct. It was! Our server was polite and efficient. A very nice young man. The "tots" liked their tot burgers, and the adults liked their burgers too - tasty! Two of us thought they were a little over cooked - the juices were pressed out of them. French fries were crispy, and chips were crunchy. We were there around 1PM and it was busy. It was getting busier when we left at 1:45PM. Locals know this is a better burger place. We'll be back, too! read more

The place was hammered, and the staff was still polite and friendly. The sopa burger was amazing, and the fries were great. Fresh, hot, and batter dipped. Also, the burger was a real diner burger, cooked medium well. I am old enough to be nostalgic for these family owned diners, and this is one of the best places I've been to in 50 years read more

We rarely make it over to the east side of the mountains so when we found ourselves near Edgewood close to lunchtime, I whipped out the Yelp app. Burger Boy had some of the top reviews so we picked it with no preconceived idea of what we were in for. And it was a trip! The place was packed (nabbed the last parking space, and you place your order just inside the front door, which created a giant cluster of people trying to enter, leave, and order. But everyone was gracious and patient and the gentleman taking the orders (the owner??) knew his stuff. He took our order and payment in record time and chatted up my seven year old son like a pro. The food came out about 6-7 minutes after we ordered. My husband got chicken nuggets (which he said were so-so), my son had the hot dog and "smiley" fries (which he polished off) and I had the world's best green Chile cheeseburger and onion rings. We shared a large chocolate shake which was also top notch. The other owner delivered our meals, gave us free refills on sodas and even gave us 3 chocolate chip cookies on the House! Was it elegant dining?? Nope, but it's a great neighborhood burger joint which is heavy on the family charm and no frills atmosphere. We will be back. Thank you!! read more

Absolutely delicious food and fantastic service. They were so friendly and personable, with a great casual atmosphere. I've seen this place described as the Best Burgers in New Mexico, and while I don't have any comparison, the quality of their food is very comparable to some of the best burgers I've had across the country. This quaint diner is well worth the visit, just make sure you get it with Chile or you're missing out on that unique NM flavor. read more

Went there the first time last week. The burgers were amazing. Meat was so fresh. GM was so friendly and told us the meat comes from a farm in Iowa and that Burger Boy grinds that meat into hamburg right on the premise. The sweet girl who took our order was very welcoming and kind. We'll be regulars! Thanks! read more

If you like an old-school burger, this is the place. Looks like a typical fast-food joint but the quality is first-rate. I did ask one of the ladies who works there what makes the burgers so yummy and she replied the meat is never frozen and the patties are all made by hand, i.e. they don't buy pre-made frozen patties. Other reviewers have covered the other pluses: crisp lettuce, excellent buns, fresh tomatoes, etc. Very hardworking and pleasant staff. They do tasty NM breakfasts too. read more

The food is very good as is the service. Prices have really gone up though and considering it's a twenty minute (one way) drive, I'm not sure I'll make a special trip very often. A Green chili cheeseburger with fries and drink for $20, and the burger wasn't large or a double. read more

My son and I ate at Burger Boy on the way to Albuquerque...it was so good! I got the green chili cheeseburger (my first ever) and loved it! The burger pattie had a nice crust, the bun was toasted perfectly and the green Chili's added a nice flavor. The fries were really crispy too. We may eat there again on the way out of town! read more

We were driving through Albuquerque and I yelped a place to eat close to the interstate. Burger Boy had many good reviews so we gave it a try. The food was good and we were not disappointed. I had ordered the onion rings, but was given the French fries instead? But the fries were tasty so who cares. Wasn't real quick getting our food but maybe because it was busy. read more

I have always been told this place was good and worth the drive..... I would have to disagree. I understand prices have gone up. Prices have gone up everywhere but this burger (more like a slider) is not worth almost $7.00. That doesn't include any side. Not worth the drive or the cost. There are better burgers in the area. Also the customer service needs improvement cranky older woman behind the counter should probably give it a rest. We came we ate and we will not be back. read more

We love the shakes at the Burger Boy on Potranco and Hunt! Their employee Richard was super nice and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Small little burger joint with tons of flavor. Enjoyed by single cheeseburger while my husband ate his double cheeseburger. Our dog really enjoyed her pup patty too. read more

What a great little neighborhood place! I live in the east mountains for 10 years now and never made it to this place until now. I am glad I did on Labor Day. It was packed with a line that wouldn't end for hours. The tiny kitchen delivered burgers of all kinds after burgers. They also have many other dishes to choose from. I had the buffalo burger with everything in it and Swiss cheese. It was just right! They have sittings outside in the front and back of the joint. They have been here 38 years and it's a family business. Hope they stay for a lot longer, I'll visit again. read more

Awesome! Burgers are one of the best. Not that pricey. I have been reading some reviews on the price and I did the math. I'm not sure where they went, but it didn't add up. Specialty drinks can be pricey. Staff is wonderful and went out of there way to help. We can eat inside now, which makes it all the better. I should have taken pics and will definitely next time. read more

Great people and great food. Breakfast burritos and green chili cheeseburgers are the best

This place is A classic grandma's fried burgers taste of home in every bite! After al omg day from hiking riding or just site seeing Burger Boy is the place to re-fill your empty tank! The owners are very welcoming and thanking me and my family for supporting local businesses and choosing their restaurant. I'd give 5 stars but the wait time but well worth it! read more

One of the best green chili cheese burgers I've ever had! This place is family run and everyone is super friendly. They give discounts to federal workers and I've gotten free ice cream for my nieces multiple times. Everything is amazing here from the burgers to the enchiladas. Highly recommend! read more

One heckuva tasty lil mom n pop burger joint nestled along the forested hwy 14 in Cedar Crest. We arrived around 12:30 on a Sunday afternoon after a morning of pinon picking nearby...the place was full, Cowboys vs. Ravens on screen, pictures posted throughout of famous folk who've visited this fine establishment, service with a smile and the sweet staff continued to check on us throughout the meal. Quite possibly the best green chile cheeseburger I've had to date....the burger was fresh and flavorful, not heavy or dripping with grease whatsoever, kids ordered corndogs and chicken nuggets with smiley fries, and let me just say those smiley fries are awesome. We'll be back!!! read more

Burger Boy Brilliance! When it comes to good old fashioned greasy hamburgers, Burger Boy steals the prize. Cooked to order fresh ground pressed Hamburgers as well as fine looking dishes of Mexican food being whipped out. This is a very divey kind of a joint with loads of people who definitely look like they get in a few burgers a week, that let's me know Burger Boy is spreading big Love around their community in Cedar Crest and this place knows the Burger Business. Had the opportunity to chat up with the Burger Queen herself "Kathy" who is Friendly & Passionate about her Little Gem" of Burger Business going on well over 30 years, she's always there and tells her goodbyes or socializes with her loyal or new customers. From celebrities to your local political schmucks and wanderlust people, Kathy loves her business and is UNSTOPPABLE as the local politics have tried to disrupt her business, but from her Wall of FAITH you know that this city cannot afford to mess with a business that brings in droves of people from all over. Burger Boy is the Real Deal for Darn Good, Feel Good Greasy Burgers. read more

You kind of have to be lucky to eat here. I've driven by a few times at what would seem to be normal operating hours for a restaurant, but it's sometimes not open. For that reason, I consider eating at Burger Boy something of a crap shoot in terms of hours. In terms of food, it's consistently awesome. I usually get the double green chile cheeseburger and an iced tea. It's under $10 and really fills you up. On nice weather days, I try to sit outside, but sometimes the counter space is available. Usually this place is kinda busy, so you're jockeying for space, and waiting in line. Locals love this place, and tourists get drawn in by the old school look of it on the outside. Definitely worth popping into if you time it right and have some hunger. read more

Burger Boy - Double patty green chili cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Cedar Crest, New Mexico

Hands down best green chile cheese burger and fantastic fries! Can't wait to go back!

This family owned burger joint / mini diner is an east mountains icon. The burgers that come off the well seasoned flat top are absolutely perfect (the green chile cheeseburger is one of the best in the state). The malts/shakes are hand mixed with real ice cream and the chile (red and green) is on par with the best in New Mexico. read more

Great green chili cheeseburger! Just the right amount of kick without tasting like pure green chili. Due to Covid, we ate outside so I cannot comment on the inside of the restaurant itself. But staff was friendly and very fast. Definitely a hole in the wall type place, but we'll be returning. read more

This little local owned gem is a must eat. If your going to the crest on a scenic drive or hell just hungry make a short trip to Cedar Creat and have a mind blowing burger. This is old school burger at its finest no fancy smanchy stuff here. My review may possibly get updated to a 5star upon my next visit. I was unable to try the green chili cheese burger or a milkshake. I believe this may launch them to the extra star. Also on the menu is a fried pork loin sandwich. These are a Midwest thing and are quite delicious if prepared correctly. Needless this is a rare find out west but especially in NM! Needless I cannot wait for my next visit for some more mouth watering goodness. My only question is why this couldn't have been in the yearly YELP burger binge week as a stop or event local?! However I'll push for it to be next year! read more

It isn't often that I eat a burger so good that I'm sad when it's gone. Burger Boy is a small, family owned spot in Cedar Crest... And it's a diamond in the rough! I had a cheeseburger with onion rings, hubby had a cheese burger with fries. The burgers were juicy and cooked perfectly, the cheese was melty cheesy goodness, the onion rings had the perfect batter to onion ratio, crunch factor, and flavor profile. I only had a couple of the hub's french fries but they were exactly the way I like them- crunchy and not too salty. We aren't out east too often, but we'll be back Burger Boy. I need to try one of those milkshakes I saw, and frito pie! read more

Had read about this place on Trip Advisor forum, so happy to have stopped in. was on the way home from Santa Fe and decided to take the Turquoise Trail instead of I25. we split orders with a Bacon BBQ burger and a smothered burrito. both were excellent. homemade sauces and ground meat made in-house makes everything here unique! Staff was very personable and eager to make sure all was great! Will definitely make the trip over to Burger Boy a regular weekend outing in the future! read more

Very good burgers and breakfast. The Queso burger is my favorite. The staff is great as well always fill welcome.

We were overwhelmed with the great customer service and politeness of the staff. We were greeted with friendly smiles and caring attentiveness. There are many options on the menu, but you can never go wrong with a classic cheeseburger, made to perfection! Top your meal off with a delicious milkshake! Burger Boy is the talk of the town, and we can see why now. We will most definitely be making this place our favorite "Go To" place to eat! Thank you, Mike and staff for making our visit amazing! We will see you again! read more

A fantastic little road side stop off of the Turquoise trail. Stopped here on the way to Santa Fe (we actually made a U-Turn to come back here after passing it the first time). During our short stay in Santa Fe we had four Green Chili Cheeseburgers, and THIS WAS THE BEST! The service was phenomenal. Super nice folks. Definitely worth stopping. read more

Good solid burger joint, the way a burger should taste. The cheeseburgers are served with American cheese, because "We're in America"! ;) Ordered onion rings - yum - and a chocolate malt where we could actually taste the malt!

Delicious!!! Great burgers shakes and fries. The New Mexican food is yummy too-traditional southwest food.
