We found this place and gave it a try. It's a cute place, clean and roomy. The staff was very attentive. This cup is their version of a to go cup! What!!??!!!! I've eaten a lot of zucchini sticks in my life and hands down these are the best ever. read more

Visiting from out of town I was on the hunt for a good mushroom burger and the internet led me to Holy Burger. Service was incredibly slow and the music on the patio was far too loud so I had to sit in an area that was pretty dusty and had not been wiped down that day. Despite ordering my burger as "plain and dry", tomato and lettuce still came on the burger and I had to disassemble things to get the tomato juice mopped up and off my burger. The flavor was decent but something about the burger kept it from being good, and I can't pinpoint what it was. The bun was a bit odd texturally as well. The fries however were GREAT!! If I was in the area again, I would absolutely order the fries here, but likely get a burger elsewhere. The table next to me seemed to be regulars and were over the moon with their food, so your mileage may vary. I think it's worth checking out at least once to make your own opinion. read more

Holy Burgers is BLAND at best. Think school cook-out and you wont be disappointed. I ordered the green chile cheeseburger. The chile had no flavor or spice, the bun was raw. Thickly sliced red onion and weird deli pickle added nothing. It came with nothing. The sweet potato fries were soft and mushy. The beef had flavor but they "don't do temperature" requests so medium rare means nothing to them. So really not a burger place at all. What does Holy have to drink besides beer and fountain soda? MinuteMaid lemonade. I ordered ice tea that tasted almost stale. Wasn't bad but nothing I can recommend about this place. The owner is not into burgers. And definitely has spent no time thinking about anything that might make his good or special in any way. I'd start by getting some good chile. read more

Read bad reviews and still decided to give this place a try, ordered a mushroom Swiss burger no onion because of an allergy and a holy burger as well as a coke. First burger had onions and second burger wasn't even the correct burger it was the jalapeño burger. Coke was flat. Both burgers were dry and tasteless, felt so bad for the clearly overworked waitress that we didn't ask for a refund. Milkshake was good but it sucks when you're broke and decide to treat yourself to a nice dinner for once and it's horrible. Seriously don't waste your money here read more

Absolutely delicious burgers! The service was also very fast and helped us get our items to go when we had to head out quickly. Juicy flavorful burgers. Fries were decent too. Place inside had plenty of space and was a fun chill vibe. They also had outdoor seating too. I would definitely recommend this place when visiting the area and we will have it on our list when coming back! read more

Inside it is actually very nice; outside I would not think it to be a burger place. There is outside seating but today it is on the cool side. Ordered the green chili cheese burger. Must say wish the size was a little larger because the burger is GREAT!! The hand cut fries could use some salt but they are the bomb and some places when they know their fries are good give you a small amount, not here, you get an entire plate Staff is great, sat me down took my order. Continually checked on me. Location is in an area I don't often go to but I will start to now. Great place read more

Pretty darn good burgers. The food came out fresh and very tasty, the jalapeño burger was raging hot! But so tasty and savory! The unique fried avocado burger was also pretty tasty as well, not very fond of the sweetness but nevertheless still very pleasing to the palate. We ordered our burgers medium well and they were grilled to perfection with the perfect pink center. The wait staff was kind but we had to ask for drink refills. That's the only reason for not getting a 5 star review. Nice outside seating and lighting. This is a cool spot to hang out with family and friends. We will be back sometime in the near future. read more

Don't waste your time! We showed up at 1:00 pm, only one other table seated. Place was empty. Placed our order and while waiting, watched our waitress eat her own lunch behind the counter (yes a burger with her hands). That did it for us! Never ever should you do that and then to not wash your hands and serve us our food. Brioche bread was old, burgers should have been piping hot but were barely lukewarm and dry. Fries and zucchini weren't brought out with our meal but afterwards. Older "Manager" looking guy standing around playing on his phone watching all of this transpire. Time to pay attention dude, this place has potential but not with this crap going on. Start by having someone clean up outside. read more

We were told to eat here by a friend of ours who is pretty picky about his food. I was torn about trying it based on the reviews on Yelp, but since I trust his judgement we went for it. Boy were we impressed! The portions here are HUGE and delicious. The staff were kind and efficient. We left incredibly full and hope more people will boost the reviews on this place. It's a gem! read more

Holy Burgers - Fried Avocado Burger - Burgers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I've been coming to holy burger since back before when it was still holy cow. I hadn't been in quite some time, but I recently came for a friends birthday dinner. They've always offered some of the best fry options around, including the option to split between regular fries and sweet potato fries. I also really like their fried zucchini. I did feel bad because it seem like they were a bit understaffed. Although we had made a reservation for a larger group, they didn't have it on record, but they were still able to get us out really quickly. I ordered these mixed fries to split with a friend along side a holy cow burger, and a chocolate malt. It's funny because back in the day they're five dollar malts used to seem very expensive but now it's on the cheaper side at $6. I will say I was a bit disappointed with the burger itself. Their menu offers, two options, pink and no pink and I ordered pink. My burger came very much on the side of well done. read more

Amazing burgers!! Fries were great, and the service was even better!! If ever back in town I will definitely go back!

We are so excited to see Holy (Cow) Burger open again! Food is always amazing, and they're pretty busy on a Friday at noon. We were sad to see no onion rings on the menu, so order half and half fries. Enjoying the vibes and the music. I couldn't check in, because they're still listed on Yelp as closed, but as of July 25, 2025 they are definitely open for business! read more

They are back and boy am I happy about it. Holy Cow is my favorite burger joint in the 505. Everything they make is top notch but the best thing they offer is the Guinness Milk Shake , which they told me actually uses Le Cumbre Mimbres Stout , vanilla ice cream , whip cream and chocolate swizzles. It's the best combo of yummy and chillax. Need I say more . Missed you this summer and liked the place but so happy that Holy Cow had returned !!!!! read more

A very busy morning/afternoon gave me an appetite for some dirty food, and this was exactly what I wanted with the dripping burgers. The shake also topped up my glucose stores, and the grease on the onion rings and fried zucchini sedated and relaxed me. Highly highly recommended the salted caramel pretzel heavenly milkshake. I wouldn't get the roasted red pepper and goat cheese burger again; it was good, but I think there are better flavors. Holy cow burger and green chile are commonly ordered. Service: perfect balance between attentiveness and giving space. Ambiance: sat outside where I was hugged by the quiet, calming heat. Not many people on a late Saturday afternoon. Sat next to a table of older people - I hope I can continue to laugh and have a good time like they were having when I get to their age. read more

Good morning from central New Mexico. Today, join Tom Neiman, Jim Tritten, and a few of the boys and one girl as we visit a great New Mexico burger joint on old Route 66 - Central Avenue. Located just west of the Presbyterian Hospital and I-25, this establishment is known for their excellent cuisine, friendly and fast service, and an interesting setting and decor. Just click on the following YouTube video link to see why we enjoyed it - and why you will as well. https://youtu.be/oQts1SBzkHM?si=3Jw-AFzFWzpCz0LN read more

Food was okay, just bland. the sauce that went with the sweet potato fries didn't go well with the fries. The music was so loud I couldn't hear the person next to me talking. it was so loud one employee basically yelled over it when talking to customers. It was a pretty unpleasant dining experience. read more

Called this place and made a reservation for 10 people. We show up for the reservation and they said they didn't know about it. The person whom I believe was the owner was super accommodating and super fast at addressing it immediately. We got a table in 5 minutes! I ordered the mushroom and swiss burger with green chile and it was soooo delicious. Everything is so well proportioned and the meat was so delicious. We ordered a half sweet potato and half normal fries and it comes with a yogurt sauce similar to tzatziki as well as ketchup. We also got a caramel salt pretzel milkshake and it was sooo delicious and not too sweet. Even though there was only one server, everything was quick and clean. Overall a great experience, will definitely be back! read more

This place is pretty good. The food was really good and the service was OK. I ended up getting the green chili cheeseburger which was really good! Was super juicy and pretty big. It definitely made me full. Regarding the service, it was OK. My server was excellent. But It was unclear if I had to see myself or would be sat down. Eventually I did end up going to the server and they said I could choose any seat I wanted. I will probably come here again. read more

Great burger spot! As a vegetarian, I was very impressed. I got the no cow burger & it was great. The chocolate malt was also delicious. Overall I really enjoyed the restaurant's vibe. All employees were nice & the owner stopped by to chat as well. Great outdoor seating. They had water bowls out for pup visitors. Highly recommend! read more

Came for the first time with 9 friends and I really looked forward to trying this place. It did not disappoint. All of the burgers were wonderful according to the group. Extra napkins please! One gal opted for the fish and chips and she said they were delicious. Portions were large and she even got a salad as a side instead of fries. I had one of the best vanilla malts of my life! Onion rings were thick and well-cooked but not over-cooked - tasty. The service was fast, accommodating, and simply lovely! The owner was nice enough to turn down the volume of the music for us since there are a lot of windows and the sound was bouncing a bit. One guy with hearing aids had a difficult time hearing. We really enjoyed our time in this casual but very very good restaurant. I have to go back a dozen times just to try different burgers! read more

Holy Burgers - Half beet salad - Burgers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I had been interested in trying this restaurant, but was disappointed. I ordered the blue cheese burger ($13.55, no side included), my husband ordered the holy cow burger ($13.05, no side included), shareable french fries ($4.75), and a soda apiece. The total came to $40.95 after tax. I ordered my burger medium-well, which came well done. On each of the burgers is chopped lettuce (like at fast-food establishments) instead of leaf lettuce. I couldn't really taste the blue cheese, though I could taste the crispy bacon. The burgers seem to be more about presentation than taste. Instagrammable, I suppose, but unless you can unhinge your jaw you're not able to eat it unless you cut it up. There were two cooks and three servers on duty. There were six tables of patrons, five of which were two-tops. The table of four guests were friends of the staff, or perhaps off-the-clock staff themselves. Either way, the working servers were much more interested in chatting with their friends than serving patrons. It wasn't that they were busy; each server had two tables apiece. Serving non-friends just wasn't a priority. Our server checked on us one time after dropping off the food. After waiting for the check that didn't come, I ended up walking up to the bar and closing there. I had wanted to find a good burger place in ABQ, and I'm still on the hunt. My burger was overcooked without enough blue cheese and had cheap chopped lettuce. I'd likely have given it another try (maybe it was an off night?) if the servers had even remotely cared about the patrons, but that wasn't the case. I can get a mediocre burger with an employee that doesn't care at any drive-thru in the city, but at least that won't be $20 a person. read more

Stopped in for lunch, first thing that hit me was how absolutely cold it was. No matter where I sat it was freezing. There is no heat in the small building. Staff is not friendly. Took 15 minutes to get a drink and order. The fries came first, they were cold and inedible. Burnt. Limp. The burger was cold and flavorless. They serve a 7 oz burger fyi. Dry as hell. Total meal with tip was $26. For one person. Will never be back. read more

This is our family's standby for lunches out. There's something for everyone and the wait staff are always pleasant. There are 3 kid meal options that are not on the menu: grilled cheese, small burger, or chicken tenders--each comes with fries. My latest favorite is the ahi tuna sandwich plus sweet potato fries or onion rings. The reason I give it 4 stars is the ambience--it needs some love and a good clean. read more

Outstanding food, big side portions, and tap selection was good. I think only knew it as Holy Cow for years. read more

It was weird to see so many open spaces in the parking lot when I first arrived. It was weirder to see all the open seats available when we walked in. Guess the virus is scaring everyone enough not to come out anymore. Anyways it was strange but nice to have the place to few people especially for a weekend when usually it's the opposite. Soon as I saw the mushroom Swiss on the menu my mind was made up then and there. My dad ended up ordering the holy burger because it was the "holy" burger jk lol. These guys did not disappoint! The burger was perfectly cool just as asked. It was juicy, the bun was buttery, and the shrooms were perfectly sautéed. I savored every bite. The bun wasn't soggy at all considering how juicy it was. It was lightly toasted, soft, and buttered. The fries were thin cut, and perfectly cooked. Nice crunchy and soft they were quite tasty. The only thing they lacked was salt. Luckily it was readily available at the table and we could sprinkle it over the fries. Next time I'm in the mood for a burger I won't think twice coming back. Every bite was so so good. I love a place that offers mushrooms on a burger. I love shrooms and because it's not often found at many burger restaurants, it's my go too immediately as soon as i see it in the menu. If your in the central area on your way to the Century theater in downtown, stop by. Try them out, you won't regret it! Thanks Holy Burger to the delicious burger! Can't wait to come back and have it again! read more

Really wanted to love this place but the food just didn't measure up. :/ I will say we did love the zucchini bites and the fries were plentiful, but the burgers just left us lacking. We got the green Chile cheeseburger (I barely tasted any green Chile) and the fried avocado burger (which was surprisingly salty but lacking in flavor at the same time. We asked for pink in the burger but didn't get any, and the patties seemed somewhat small compared to the buns, which were kinda dry so they flakes apart on us as we bit into them. Overall, the food and staff present well, but our tastebuds left disappointed. Also, there was an abundance of flies in the place, which we were told were in season (odd). Don't plan on returning any time soon. read more

I have to say, The Holy Cow Burger really hit the spot. And their salads are really darn delish, too, who knew?!?! Average pricing is around $10 +/- per burger, fair enough, it would be nice if the fries were included, but, that being said, I'm stoked about the local beers on tap. The service was prompt, which was a relief during the brief lunch hour we had before having to get back to business. The patio is spacious, the seating is ample, and even though the fries were priced separately, they were perfectly cooked and it was a nice sized plate to share. I definitely will return to try some other menu choices, and really pleasant experience overall! read more

I hate being negative, but my husband said this is the worst burger he has ever had. The bun wasn't even warm, the burger was cold. I will say the French fries were delicious! I had the zucchini fries and only ate about 3- they were so think and just tasted like egg batter. We noticed they're short staffed, so hopefully this isn't the norm for their business. The place is in a cool spot and has a lot of potential. read more

There are some eateries that remain in the top tier of "BEST of ABQ" for a reason...great food. ALWAYS. Not fancy necessarily, but reliable. Great cooking every single time you go to the place....food that makes your mouth water just to think about being there. Enter HOLY BURGER!

Formerly Holy Cow Burger! This spot is a 10/10. I've been coming here for years and not much has changed- great service, quality grub made with love, excellent options! This place reminds me of a hipster diner, great music, small bar area and retro. Some things to know before you come here: - burgers are big! (I sometimes share a burger) -the side order of fries is big! (You can share with a few friends) -the salads are legit! (Not feeling a burger today- you won't be disappointed with one of these hearty salads) The beer on tap is local and the shakes are that of glory! Get over here and check it out! read more

I ordered the fried avocado burger and was totally disappointed. It says on their website that all of their burgers comes with tomatoes, lettuce and onions and it didn't come with none of that. It also was way overcooked and the fries were all limped like that they had been sitting out for a long time. Total disappointment. I talked to the manager to explain My dissatisfaction and on top of being really rude he clearly said that he didn't care about my experience. I will never go back to that establishment. Edit 03/26/19 two days later I just realized they on top of everything charged me two$$ extras! It's not about the amount but principle. Avoid this place and check your receipt as I did. read more
