We went on a Saturday morning at 0945. We sat at the bar to avoid a 20-minute wait for a table. We ordered at 0950 and our food took 50-minutes to arrive at 1040. Very disappointed as I ordered the Basic Breakfast with eggs and bacon while my wife ordered the oatmeal with the ice cream scoop. The oatmeal was hard crusted on the top as it had sat for a long time before being served. My wife ate the ice cream, but not the oatmeal. My eggs and bacon were tasty, but not special. Also, the coffee at the bar was served lukewarm out of a plastic tea container. Not sure why there was not a thermal coffee container. read more

Wow! I got the Blue Corn Enchiladas and a chili relleno. Outstanding! The Blue corn enchiladas were absolutely out of this world. Service was great food was better. Don't miss out on this place! read more

These guys don't want bad feedback. But I am allowed to say how I feel. This is a public forum to discuss experiences. The Range is paying off people to remove bad reviews. Pretty sad huh! The range sucks! Food sucks, stuff are bad and the management is a joke! read more

My partner and I have both been the range several times at multiple locations and always been satisfied. I had been the Bernalillo one before, tho my partner hadn't, and in the past it was an excellent experience. This time, the service was great, and the venue is still a unique and fun environment, the food was... edible. The lack of seasoning and flavor was unconscionable. I had one of the blandest burgers of my life, and my partner had fried breading with a flavorless meat textured filling (Chicken fried steak). Not an awful experience. Just very disappointing. read more

As someone visiting New Mexico for the first time, our friends we were staying with in Placitas took us here. It felt like walking into "Jack Rabbit Slims" from the movie Pulp Fiction! What a fun vibe! Amazing wait staff, helpful suggestions on food, drinks, and of course dessert! I had a steak that was cooked to perfection. Great southwestern flavors. Local beer. A chocolate eclair so big I had to split it with my buddy (another big guy!) and there was some great local Jazz playing! Don't waste any time or money on crappy food at El Pinto! Make the trip to the Range and have twice the service, three times the yum, at less than half the price. read more

Desserts, desserts, desserts!!!! Ok we did have drinks, appetizers, and a meal which were all good, but nothing compares to their desserts! Green chili apple pie was my favorite! But the watermelon margarita cheesecake was the favorite of some others at the table and the bread pudding was also delicious read more

Cute place, food was just ok, not bad but not great. Staff is super nice, prices were probably a couple of dollars too high.

Dear Rangers, After a questionable 1st visit awhile back...time for a 2nd Chance for Love...Coming back as we are, Nobody said it was easy, Oh, it's such a shame for us to part...I'm going back to the start...we secured the Black Bleu Fried Burger and Patty Melts...The Black you ask?...from the butteriness of the brioche bun to the thick cut smoked sweet bacon..tied nicely with bleu cheese and caramelised onions..brought a lasting smile...The Patty Melts?..though it lost the visual pizzazz...the mushrooms, swiss cheese and caramelised onions saved our bites..:) Range, but tell me you love me, come back and haunt me..Oh and I rush to the start..Running in circles, chasing my tail....When it comes to supporting our local restaurants..."We can't run out of second chances...:) Best, Avram Doogoodrr Jr. read more

My friend and I visited this restaurant yesterday for lunch. I felt like the price may have been a bit higher for the dishes but my deviled egg Cobb was very delicious. It was very well-balanced with 1.5 deviled egg, plenty of chicken, and avocados as well as the bed of greens. Overall pretty good. I'd love to try their pastries and desserts next time!! read more

Amazing food; exceptional service and an awesome pet friendly patio-- with the very Best Chili Relleno's in New Mexico. Everyone went out of their way for us- thank you.

We were visiting Albuquerque for my Nieces wedding and decided to try The Range Cafe for breakfast. Im glad we did! We were seated right away and the artsy decor in this place is pretty cool! Got started with a couple of Latte's which tasted spot on! I ordered the Kitchen Sink Omelette and a side of chorizo and i couldn't have been more satisfied.The chorizo had such intense flavor! We loved this place so much that we returned the next morning, before catching our flight, for another round of breakfast read more

This is a staple in Albuquerque area. Range cafe has a great atmosphere and friendly staff. I ordered the pork pulled sandwich and it was not very flavorful with red chili chips and it was ok. It could have been juicier and had to ask for BBQ sauce to put on it and the chips were not crispy but soft like they were not fresh. My son ordered the Blue corn enchiladas with carne adovada and was very good with the right seasoning. Overall great atmosphere and love the gift shop. read more

Sad New Mexican here. stopped in the Range in Bernalillo today. Always a favorite, great for out of town guests. the food quality was poor. ordered the chile strips. There were three about the size of a finger,not much meat on the chile and fried to almost burned. Not worth $8.00. Green Chile chicken stew. a large bowl of undercooked huge chunks of carrot,zucchini,potatoes and celery. Large chunks of chicken. never saw a bit of green chile. Dry tortillas,no butter. We did mention the chile to our server ,who was very nice, and she mentioned that they changed suppliers. she did credit the chile off the bill. So disappointing. not sure if we will go back. Favorite stop on way home to Santa Fe. Are they under new owners? read more

Coming from California for a celebration of life I stayed for First time in Bernalillo and yelped good New Mexican food and this cafe came up. The restaurant was amazing and had a great selection of food and drinks. The staff was super friendly and helpful, I ordered the green chili stew and my husband the Enchiladas adovada adding calabacitas and he cannot stop talking about how great it was . The decor and art work displayed gave it such a homey atmosphere and the plates lining the walls with famous people who had been there was amazing If ever in Bernadillo again we will definitely visit again!!! read more

Lots of great choices. So hard to choose. Their bakery items look fantastic. I loved the art on the walls available for purchase. The special of the morning was brisket Benedict and it was so flavorful and delicious. They make a great chai tea too! read more

We were passing through the area on way to Durango and saw recommendations for the Range Cafe. We were not disappointed. Had the regular size Nachos and couldn't finish them. Plenty of food to eat. My husband had the burrito and he said it was great too. Wish we would have saved room for dessert because everything looked amazing. Our server, Liz, was awesome. She was friendly and made great recommendations. Would definitely visit again. read more

This place came highly recommended and it didn't disappoint! After trying a few places in NM, we were happy with the food. It was outstanding: fresh, flavorful, and big portions. Our waitress was very friendly and offered great recommendations on what we should try. We enjoyed their famous margaritas too! Delicious! The place itself is fun, full of character. They had love music/karaoke in another room, but it wasn't too loud/distracting in the main dining room. read more

If you love tacos then make their Tuesday night taco special. These are the best tacos I've had! I had the carne adovada, slow cooked, excellent spice. What a great meal. The tacos are big, so save room for the excellent pies. read more

I am older. Safe food is important to me. The Range has excellent kitchen hygiene and high turnover, so their food is fresh and safe. I had breakfast at The Range this morning. They have a problem with eggs. Either you get runny whites or you get a hard yolk. No medium fried eggs. I have had breakfast here at least a dozen times, and that's just the way it is. So, why do I keep coming back? First, great service. Ask for one of Stephanie's tables, but all the wait staff are friendly and well-trained. Second, every item but the eggs is terrific. Great biscuits, nice guacamole not too hot, link sausages that taste like brats only better. Range potatoes are excellent, but they have hash browns or rice if you prefer -- maybe grits someday (I hope). For lunch or supper, the bar is well stocked and the bartenders, knowledgeable. And the desserts are simple and very good. Take the short drive to Bernalillo. The trip is lovely, especially in November. And the Range in Bernalillo is head and shoulders above the locations in Albuquerque. read more

The food here was awesome! We had such a great meal and our waiter Jaeden really helped us out since I had dietary restrictions. We got the three enchilada plate. So much flavor yum green chilei sauce. The little gift shop they have is also awesome with lots of goodies to take home with you. And the chocolate cake was a hit with my son. The green chile apple pie was very interesting and a bit spicy :-) so glad we stopped here for dinner, and the restaurant is pretty cool with all of the paintings by artists all over it and cool decorations and storefront. read more

This has always been one of my favorite places to go. Love al the whimsical and amazing local art on the walls. The ambience is great. www disappointed that they had reduced the inventory of the shop - loved checking out all their diverse and fun merch. But much of the fun stuff is gone - feels pretty empty. Ordered the fish tacos and they were a big lump of fried fish on hard tortillas with a little smear of sauce. They were dry and tasteless. Have always liked the food I have had here so it came as a surprise Husband had eggs Benedict and they were okay. Other person had enchiladas and they were great. The service - as always was exceptional. read more

One of the locals took me here for a breakfast meeting. I am glad he did. It was everything i love about breakfast. The place had character and a menu to match. I had the biscuits and gravy, which I love trying at all breakfast places. The range's offering was pretty good. The waitstaff were excellent, with multiple refills of coffee and water. Pretty reasonable deal. Definitely added to my trips to ABQ, on the way in or out! read more

The food was good. The service was fine. I would say this was a mid-range restaurant overall. Not a bad place to grab a good meal and have decent service. The clerk at the checkout stand was wonderfully friendly and very helpful. Grabbed dessert to go and enjoyed the sweet treats at home. read more

Loved this place!! Fabulous food and the service we got from Alicia was more than 5 star. She took care of us so well and was very lovely with all our requests! We will be back next time we are in town. read more

The Range is, by far, our favorite local restaurant and we eat at this location in Bernalillo several times a month. The people are all wonderful, the servers are amazing and super helpful, and the food is absolutely delicious! Our go to favorite is the Rio Grande Gorge which is a fantastic dish with all of the flavors one would expect at a New Mexico establishment like the Range! We love it and being seniors, we have to split it as it is a lot of food for us older folks. But the kitchen always does a fantastic job splitting it for us and we just love that they take such good care of us! The baked goods are always second to none and we usually take something home with us from the bakery! All in all, the Range is a gem here in Bernalillo and we love the food and love the people! read more

Ambiance there is kinda cool too, lots of paper painted clouds on the ceiling. read more

Hello all, this was my experience on 'The Range.' I picked up my mother from the airport toward the evening and my family and I decided to have supper here at this location on the way home. Upon arrival we were seated and waited quite some time for a menu. After ordering, we sat again for another 20 plus mins, with no assurance that our food was on its way or even being prepared! Seeing other tables being served, we asked for at least some chips and salsa, as we were very hungry by that point. We were told that a larger group ordered before us and that our food was almost ready. (Salad, chicken pot pie, a quesadilla, & chicken fried steak, is what we ordered.) My mother was exhausted by this point, after traveling and waiting for food. Finally we were served our food. The chicken fried steak was overcooked and the "greens" was fried cauliflower. I did NOT send it back as I was famished. The 'chicken pot pie' my mother ordered was the filling for the pie and had no chicken pot pie crust. If we knew this before hand, she would have ordered something else. A better quality, more affordable, chicken pot pie can be found down the street at the local KFC. The fake cigarette machine that is placed at the entrance, foreshadows the stale environment. Paying the nearly hundred dollar bill with tip, my family and I exited the establishment. Personally, I would save myself the time and look for different places to eat within ABQ city limits. read more

Great consistency in food quality. Service is always great. Mexican dishes are all great. Took buffalo chicken sandwich off menu and replaced it with poor quality buffalo chicken wrap. (Pass on the wrap) Patio is pet friendly. read more

While visiting the area, we ate at Blades Bistro and The Range. We had a much better experience and food at the Range and we wish we would have ate there both nights. The Margarita's are great and the North of the border dishes that we had were all outstanding. read more

After previous experiences with other locations I was leery of stopping here. But I was out voted. So after our 1st motorcycle ride of the year here we are. We had a big group so we had a wait until they could find a place to put us. So we did some exploring. One side of the restaurant is the dining area the other is a small store selling souvenirs, packages of food mixes - including their blue corn pancakes, alcohol, Native American pottery, and some silver jewelry. Got seated and took a good look at the menu. Lots of goodies to choose from. We got biscuits and gravy with a blue corn pancake and the Rio Grande Burger. The biscuit was huge and smothered with a flavorful sausage gravy. The pancake was good - the blue corn was a different flavor & texture. The burger was served open faced. The patties were a little dry, but plenty of toppings helped moisten them up. The potatoes covered in queso and black beans finished filling the plate. Over all the burger was great. Both meals were filling - we couldn't finish it. Good food, excellent service. We'll be back to this one - it was worth the ride to get here. read more

Another trip through Albuquerque and a return visit to The Range Café is a must. This trip I had their Huevos Con Queso. It tastes fantastic. As always there is an adroit balance between flavors, quantity, and visual appeal. You really must try this place. I haven't had anything here that wasn't fantastic! read more

When I travel, I like to try places that are unique and non-chain restaurants. This place was rated highly, with few expected lows. So why not give a try. First off the waiter was great and attentive, you could tell they cater to the locals and like to chat (no harm there.) The overall atmosphere is pretty southwest oriented, again to be expected. Although parking was a little awkward, so be sure to park behind the restaurant or an across the street. Otherwise you park street side and it's very limited. Let's move on to the food.. my wife had the country fried steak and I had the pork chop. While they had good flavor, both were very overcooked. I'm not one to send food back, so you only get one shot.. but we did let the waiter know. Maybe just an off day for the cook or that is just the way they prepare their dishes in this part of the country.. don't really know, but that is a hard one ( no pun intended) to get past. They also have a desert menu and display that was very appealing. I would probably give them a second try, but try a different menu item. read more
