    My first visit to this restaurant occurred on December 2, 2025. There is plenty of parking available. There's good signage. The restaurant is tucked away a bit from the road so it may be a little hard to see on your first visit. My dining companion and I arrived at 11:30 so we were a little ahead of the noon time rush. Friendly staff greeted us and seated us. Very interesting decor. If you lean toward the artistic side, you will see touches that will remind you of the infamous meow wolf. It's a focused menu. I went for the classic burger. They call their fries Spudnik and they have a very interesting cut. The potato shape is like a broad, curling wedge, but these are not curly fries. I asked for the smashed burger and it came out with a nice crispy touch. I enjoyed the blue cheese dressing. The brioche bun is very tasty. I would rate this Burger as tops.

    The ambiance is an interesting, artistic mix of universe/planetary themes. Lots of visuals to explore and take in. The service was friendly. The food was amazing! I had the afghan rice with chutney, the kids and Mark had burgers with Sputnik fries. X also had the Mac and cheese - all were thrilled with their meals. A fun place to dine and unwind!

    We stopped while in town to this cool place for burgers . Service was great , and nice mix of music. I would definitely stop again whenever we drive through again.

    This is definitely my go to spot for a buffalo chicken sandwich with crinkle cut fries. The menu is relatively simple and I recommend sticking with the burgers or the chicken sandwich offerings. They've got cocktails as well. I am so glad to see that their parking lot is finally paved. I know that was a massive adventure for the business. Last time I was there it looked like they were starting to work on a new and improved patio so I can't wait to check that out.

    I was driving by with a friend when I noticed all the cars in the lot, from the road I wasn't sure and the sign on the building was super small. But I was curious so I drove around the block to access it again since it's on a one way street. I walked in expecting a very different vibe. Tables were full of patrons which was a good sign. I'm a person who likes to sit at the bar but it was messy and cluttered with half drank glassware and other items so I had to ask if it was available for sitting. The other thing was the table closest to it was super close which seemed odd and too close to the folks at the table. When we sat down, the nice guy behind the bar cleared some of the mess from the bar and handed me a paper brunch menu. I had to get the drink menu. I said we were just there for a drink and that didn't disappoint but I thought it was kinda expensive but then everything is these days. The beermosa was actually really good (beer, orange juice, champagne) great idea. They used a kolsch beer. The decor while kinda kosmic seemed cool in variation, it seemed unfinished and as if numerous people had different ideas and put it together.

    Fun and unique spot, it is a very artsy place with a fun vibe, this restaurant is off of 5th street where the building used to be an industrial complex so the brick and mortar give it a great old fashioned vibe mixed with its modern style inside. The burger and fries were incredible, I'd say it's more of a gourmet style burger than your typical restaurant. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful with the menu as we were first timers. We will be back soon to try something new!

    Lemon tart with fresh raspberries!! So good!

    We go here often and I realized it was time to update my review and praise The Kosmos again! We went to Kosmos after a day on the golf course! They had a special BBQ Bacon smash burger, which happens to be my favorite, so I of course had to get it! We also go fried pickles - so freaking good and I got a Kosmos cocktail. My gummy had his usual fish and chips, which we love. Then we got the special chocolate blackberry mousse! Amazing! I always love this place for its interesting and super tasty food, kind waitstaff and fun atmosphere! The patio is finished and hopefully they will have seating out there this year! I tell everyone about this place and we will continue to come here! One of my favorite places in town!

I was immediately impressed by the staff. you couldn't ask for better care and warmth. we participated in any activities that were offered and made new and lasting friendships along the way. thru those years there were difficult times. I guess the most difficult was the pandemic when we were limited to movement within the building but you would be amazed attn lengths the staff went to to keep us happy. delicious meals were delivered to our door ( we ordered from our menu's ). Games were played at each door if you wanted to participate and there were fun prizes. The weekly wine socials were brought to your door. Meanwhile, all the necessary health precautions were taken. The apartments were thoroughly cleaned weekly. When necessary, immunization clinics were brought to each resident and if you wanted to participate, they made it easy. Eventually that passed and life got back to normal but it's hard not to recognize the professional handling of that difficult time. The building was renovated and mad lovely for us. If anything needed to be updated, it was life moved along smoothly and I must admit, to my surprise. There were many staff changes but amazingly, the staff remained warm and caring. Deep down, I can forget that they are dealing with many different personalities and sometimes elderly people can be a tad grumpy. The loving staff simply overlooks the bad days. Food is always an issue but the menu is large with choices for everyone. If that isn't enough, there's a really great Bistro you don't want to mis. The activities are numerous and year round. Entertainment is provided on a regular basis and outings take place twice a week. All you have to do is signup. I can't close this without mentioning that my husband passed away in 2022. it was a difficult time made easier by the Fairwinds staff and especially the management. Being100% deaf and disabled, my family wanted me to move to assisted living despite my reluctance. Doralei warmly helped me make that decision to move and very graciously helped me find a comfortable apartment. The move was smooth and the golden treatment given by the health and Wellness staff has been perfect so I have to admit that it was the proper move. When I need appointments, the transportation service is wonderful and I can't forget to mention the wonderful drivers. Do you see how fortunate I furl that all those years ago, we made the decision to move here it was the perfect one. You can't go wrong.

    Extremely disappointing experience at Sixty Six Acres…read more We walked in and were seated immediately on the patio. I had read so many positive reviews and was genuinely excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, we walked out without ever being served. While we sat there, multiple staff members walked past our table without acknowledging us. No greeting. No water. No "someone will be right with you." Nothing. Then another couple arrived after us and was seated in the same small patio area. They were promptly greeted, given water, and attended to by a waiter who seemed more than happy to serve them. Meanwhile, we were still sitting there trying to figure out whether anyone planned to acknowledge our table. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was looking around and realizing there were no other Black or Brown patrons in the establishment at the time. I cannot definitively say race played a role in how we were treated, but given the stark difference in service between our table and the couple seated after us, I would be dishonest if I said the thought didn't cross my mind. We eventually got up and left. Good food reviews mean very little if certain guests can sit at a table while staff repeatedly walk past them as though they aren't there. Whether this was discrimination, poor training, or simply terrible service, the experience was unacceptable and left us feeling completely unwelcome. We came prepared to spend our money and enjoy dinner. Instead, Sixty Six Acres made it very easy for us to take our business elsewhere.

We ate from the border crossing past El Paso all the way to Taos, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque. And I'm sure we missed a ton of great places, but that being said, the places we did try... yikes! We rolled the dice on this place. At first I was like, "Great, another place that is going to give us a premade tortilla and some bland combination of stuff in the tortilla..." Now look... this is not a Michelin-starred place, nor is it Michelin-recommended. It's not going to be a spiritual experience. It's not going to make you think differently about a taco, an enchilada, or anything else on their massive menu. But this place has heart, soul, and there's a lot of hustle. The tortillas are made fresh, right there behind the counter (i.e., you can literally watch them crank them out), and that makes a ton of difference. The food is honest, without pretense: fast and affordable. The ambiance is equally without pretense -- college kids, working-class folks, families, academics... The food was simple, spartan, and honest. No frills. Not extraordinary, but above average for the context. There is an ASTOUNDING amount of variety on the menu, and the combinations are infinite. I very much enjoyed my meal, I very much enjoyed the people-watching, and I very much enjoyed the experience. This was perhaps the best meal I had in New Mexico -- the cheapest, and the most memorable. If this place was a beer, it would be one of those local lager/pilsners that is as cheap as a Pabst/Coors/Miller but punches up way past the pretentious IPA scene. Thanks Frontier.

It gives you all the old-school diner vibes immediately. I will say, all the young ladies working there were extremely nice, and the service was great. It definitely passes the vibes test. The burger tasted like that classic all-American diner burger. Not too greasy, but not trying to be some "beyond meat" situation either. Just good stuff. The fries were great, and very, very, very importantly: it passes the ranch test. We had a side salad with ranch, and the ranch tasted good on the salad and even better with the fries dipped in it. We also had the 66 Burger, which comes with green chiles. I had never had that on a burger before, but it was a really good twist and a nice local touch. Green chiles seem to be a big thing in Albuquerque, New Mexico, so it was cool to try that there. The onion rings were great too. If I hadn't been so full, and if it wasn't noon with eight more hours of driving ahead of us, I definitely would've gotten a shake too. All in all, absolutely great classic Route 66 vibes. It has all the nostalgia, great service, and great food. 10/10 recommend. Everyone should go.
