Breakfast isn't that hard to screw up. So when you mess it up you must really not know what you're doing. I had high hopes we sat down got our coffee. Which, by the way is the only reason they deserve one star. Our waitress clearly forgot to put our order in. Three cups of coffee later she looked over with a panic look. Bad number one. When the food finally came the pancakes were bitter..sour almost. I poured almost all the maple syrup to try and mask it. Sausage also seem inedible. Currently feeling like I'm getting sick from this bad meal... My boyfriend got the tamales which were frozen from Sysco. So basically nothing is home made. read more

I've eaten here several times and never had much of a problem and the food was average. But today I ordered a lowball club sandwich and when I got it there was one thin slice of turkey on one side a little bit of an avocado on it wilted lettuce, tomato, and some bacon. We're sandwich I've ever had. And the waitress I don't know where she went. My friend and I are never going to come back to this place again the service was lousy and the food was not so great. read more

What a great place! We came here at my niece's recommendation and she hit the mark. Really wonderful waitstaff, and even better food. I had a cheeseburger topped with a chile relleno, and it was tremendous (the chile could have had a little more heat, but that's how I roll). But the pies---man. My niece had the chocolate coconut, and the slice was as large as my head, and delicious. I had no choice but to try and apple and green chile pie, which came topped with plenty of piñon nuts. Cool atmosphere, just can't be beat. read more

Great food and service. I took a star off cause the greeter was a bit rude and didn't greet and was more concerned with answering and talking on the phone. The inside is nice warm and roomy. I would be back. Bakery also looks good. read more

This is the only place that I bought a souvenir: At Home with the Range Cafe - their cookbook! Everything I tried at the Range Cafe, I just enjoyed so much that I wanted to make it when I left New Mexico. At the entrance to the Range, you may serve yourself coffee while you wait for your table which helps pass the time because during peak hours, the wait can be long. You can also browse their wonderful assortment of pastries and desserts in the display case at the front which will definitely make your mouth water and for good reason; the desserts are absolutely delicious. Breakfast at the Range Cafe is a must. Their omelets are light and fluffy and full of flavour. They do not feel overly greasy which is a plus. My husband had the huevos rancheros and was delighted with them. Dessert here is pretty darn good. They have wonderful cinnamon ice cream and seasonal flavours. Their death by lemon dessert is also quite yummy and I highly recommend it to those who, well, love lemons. The atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxed and the servers are very friendly. This is a place to meet up with friends and family also kids love the oven art. read more

After a super long day of driving cross-country, we finally got to Albuquerque. On a Monday night after 9pm, it was relatively slim pickings for dinner. We were lucky to spot Range Cafe nearby our house. We were told that being seated just 15 minutes prior to closing was no problem at all. The hostess, waiter, and all other staff members received us cheerfully. My mom & I both had the blue corn enchiladas. Our waiter, Rob, had no issue giving me both adobadas (spicy pork) and calabacitas (squash medley) in mine. Mom & I agreed - our dinners were DELICIOUS. The blue corn tortillas were hearty and delicious. The filling was perfect - spiced well, not over cooked, and full of flavor. The "fixings" were on point, even down to the pintos and the (cilantro?) rice. The green chile sauce was fantastically spicy - better than the red chile. The meal was more than satisfying on our famished appetites. The menu is full of variety, including breakfast choices all day and a HUGE variety of fresh-baked treats. There are several local beers on tap. This place clearly has something to please everyone. Highly recommend! read more

Great place, a must while in ABQ. Best pancakes and service. Bacon is great too. Love the decor and gift shop. Good pastries to. Great place to chill out and read the Alibi. read more

The Range has been a favorite of ours since 2005 and it continues being one of the two places we dine on a frequent basis as well as where we take all friends & family members who come to ABQ. Their service is only second to their food! Their French toast, kitchen sink omelet, BLOATEM sandwich and friend green chile strips are AMAZING! read more

This is my favorite restaurant for breakfast in Albuquerque. You can choose from a little bit of everything--delicious breakfast burritos smothered in chile, blue corn pancakes (to die for), omelets... I almost always get the blue corn pancakes because they are just too delicious. I did once try the egg white omelet to be a bit healthier and it was tasty... But I feel like if you're going to eat at The Range, you might as well indulge on their yummy pancakes or burritos! I've been here several times and the staff has always been kind and accommodating. I've also never had issues with an unreasonable wait for food. A warning though, they are very busy on weekends from 10-2 so you may have to wait awhile to get seated. I went to The Range once for dinner but it just wasn't the same as their amazing breakfast menu! read more

Mmmmmmm, So delicious! We just had the cinnamon roll and coffee but out of this world! My 11yo won't stop talking about it! read more

The Range Cafe - #RangeCafe yum! - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Always a dependable option for quality food and service. I especially appreciate the frequency of the wait staff to check if everything is satisfactory, regardless of how busy the restaurant is (and it can get packed). The red chile is some of the best you can get in Albuquerque, and there breakfast menu is fabulous. Don't leave without trying something from the bakery. read more

Love, love, love the staff and food. Hands down best place to get breakfast in the ABQ! The Range Round up is great and its soooo big that my kiddo and I always split it. My only complaint is that my last two visits my eggs were runny. I don't think whoever has been cooking lately understands over easy. read more

Valentine's day breakfast with the family at The Range Café was a great idea. I think we'll make it a tradition. We were not the only ones with this brilliant idea but no worries, they got us seated within five minutes. Pancakes, granola, fruit, breakfast special, giant cinnamon roll, and choc chip pancakes made special for the kiddos. We all left with full tummies and a fun memory to last even longer. read more

We found The Range Cafe on a house hunting trip in anticipation of moving to ABQ. I was delighted and thought we'd found a gem. It's never really lived up to my expectations since that first visit. Maybe it's because we've never been back for breakfast. Since we moved, we've been to the Wyoming & Menaul locations for dinner multiple times, and every time I felt a little disappointed. The food is good, not off the charts. Except for dessert. They have amazing desserts (which is why 4 stars, not 3)! I'd recommend going here just for dessert and maybe breakfast. I'm going to have to make a point to go for breakfast again. Service is also pretty good and probably one of the reasons we keep going back. Staff know the menu and are prepared to guide diners through it. read more

Hadn't been there for quite some time approximately 6 months at one time I went there 3 or 4 times a month, I won't be going back prices went up food quality went down my meat loaf was tasteless, mashed potatoes cold gravy cold it's not what I was expecting for the new price the food is not worth it, it could be free and still wouldn't be worth the time, won't be back oh after eating I noticed my plate was dirty on edge and bottom, since the food was on my plate when I got it don't know if it was clean bottom wasn't read more

Of all the classic New Mexico restaurants that I have been enjoying for most of my life, this one always seems to take me by surprise. Every time I sit down for a tasty breakfast or lunch I remember just how solid the food is. Good old school New Mexico diner type food with a friendly environment. And if you are in the mood for a pastry you have come to the right place. I've been here a couple of times this year for lunch and breakfast. Most recently I came for breakfast with family. The staff seated us quickly and the coffee flowed freely. My picker had a challenge because of the huge menu. I went with the breakfast tacos which were ok, bland but filling. But don't let that keep you from going here. Pretty much everyone else was very happy. But it looses a star this time. read more

Excellent spot for breakfast! Had the huge pancakes and huevos racheros! Probably one of the best plates I've ever had! And their cafe latte was on point! read more

I started eating at the Range in Bernalillo years ago. We then found this location (actually the old location across the street) and continued to love it. Finally, I was town on business and went to the newest building. Breakfast is to die for! Lunch is ok, you just have to pick the right item. I got the wrong thing on my last visit...it was stuffed with veggies which freaked me out. My suggestion...know what you are ordering by asking what they put into the dish. If you get the right thing the place is AMAZING! read more

This was a very good experience. The staff was courteous and always checked up on us. The food was really good and the pancakes were great. I felt like the potatoes were not seasoned but tried some of the green chile with the potatoes and it tasted great. read more

The Range Cafe - This is called the wagon train. A lot of food. Sausage is handmade rather than frozen. Pancakes were as big as the plate. - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Yummy :) I always enjoy eating here. Great environment. Great service. Not too pricey. The best desserts around! This plate is favorite, so far! I enjoy the location in Bernalillo, more, but this one is always very nice. read more

Authentic Eggs Benedict, but if you want New Mexican style they have that too. Lots of menu choices that lean toward the Albuquerque palate. Decor could use some updating--I say this because I would not rate it as moderately priced, but a place I would treat myself to every blue moon. Service is excellent. Breakfast tacos hmmmm read more

Great food, service, and desserts. Great place for entire familia. I have eaten pretty much everything in menu and and I like it all. My least favorite is their meatloaf. My most favorite are their New Mexican dishes. Don't miss their desserts. read more

We always go the Range Cafe On Wyoming and Montgomery every Sunday for breakfast @ 7:00 am...they know us well now and the food and the service are always EXCELLENT! Our waitress Katie is simply the Best! Thanks Range Cafe for making our breakfast every Sunday morning! you guys!! read more

This was one of my favorite places to eat until today. The server came out with my partner's and my plate of food, served him and dropped my plate of scalding food all over me which broke in the process. I understand that accidents happen and the server apologized profusely. However, the manager's response or lack of a response rather was infuriating. He issued a quick I'm sorry, saw that my partner was incredibly pissed off, and couldn't hurry to find something else that needed his attention instead. Horrible management. read more

This place for me is always great.. Any location..food is great.service is awesome.their deserts are out of this world..yum yum yum

So good! Never would order a chimichanga at a typical mexi place. I heard great things about this place and wanted to try it! It's delicious and the food quality you can definitely taste! Will be coming back to try their breakfast menu!! read more

The Range Cafe - Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We had a horrible experience here. Stopped in for breakfast and not only waited almost an hour for our food while watching everyone who came in after us be served, but our food was cold when we got it. When our waitress finally showed up several minutes later, we told her that our food was cold when we received it and didn't even receive an apology. We couldn't wait to just get out of there. Horrible food and horrible service read more

I've been to The Range before in Bernillo. Great food. So great that I wanted to go back to it. But this experience wasn't even an experience. They set us a table and left us there with menus. And a check book from another guest that was there before we were. They didn't tell us who our server was going to be. Didn't ask for our drinks. They sat us there and forgot us. We were patient and waited for 15 mins. No one came. So we just left. read more

Staff was exceptional, very attentive to our needs. I had Tom's meatloaf and was not disappointed. Hubby had a yummy build your own burger, and dad had the country fried steak that others had recommended. They thoroughly enjoyed both dishes. Next time in Albuquerque, check them out. read more

Really impressed for a local diner. Had the huevos rancheros which was, eh, ok...also had the blue corn meal pancakes which were immaculate. Great waittress and great atmosphere makes this place an easy 4 stars. read more

We both had the range roundup with green chili and loved every scrumptious bite. The green chili was flavorful and fresh, as well as the humongous biscuits. We also had a cream puff and of course, it was divine. It was made with homemade whipped cream and a the pastry was reminiscent of a macaroon with a slight coco-nuttiness. The wait staff was cheerful and I felt that they truly believed in the menu And the quality of the food. Our food arrived in a timely manner and FINALLY someone who knows how to properly cook over medium eggs. Over all a great menu, experience and treat. Eat here and you won't regret it! read more

I have been going here since the early 90's back when their only location was in Bernalillo. I do not live in Albuquerque or Placitas anymore, but when I visit Jim & Nancy, I like to eat here. The food is beyond delicious. The service is excellent. read more

The Range Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Maybe because the ballon fiesta was in town and they were busy but this was a very bad experience as far as quality of food!! Pancakes, sausage (burnt)and tortilla was cold and hard as a rock!! I am extremely disappointed. I should have went to Sadie's or gracias !! read more

I'm giving them a generous 3 stars. If it was not for the pandemic situation it would be two and a half. We enjoyed the original restaurant when we lived here a decade ago so thought we'd try takeout tonight. Ordered shredded beef enchiladas and discovered carne adovada when we got home. Beans were undercooked. Rice is instant rice so got mushy and not much flavor. I ordered chips but when we got to the car, realized there were none in the bag so had to go back in and ask for them. They had an odd taste - either rancid or they were cooked in a strange oil. Maybe we will try again when covid is over or try another location. Waste of money since I can cook New Mexican food. Disappointing. read more

Oh no:( this used to be our favorite restaurant to frequent on the weekends. Our server, Deborah made our trip to the range exceedingly frustrating. We wanted bloody Mary's when we came in and had our ID's scrutinized for at least 10 minutes before a "manager" came by to verify our ID's were valid. I understand it is important to make sure you are not serving minors, but it is also important to not offend your patrons with accusations of fraudulent identification. Absolutely horrible service and a total lack of care. We felt we were in a hostile environment the entire time. Lastly, at the end of our meal we were mischarged THREE TIMES. To say that we won't be returning is merely the beginning. I encourage anyone looking to have a simple and enjoyable meal to look elsewhere. read more

Went here for a brunch with my 3 yo, grandma, and uncle. Grandma got omelette she isnt too picky so she enjoyed. My BLT was HUGE and spot on crispy bacon fresh lettuce and juicy ripe tomatoe top 3 BLTs Ive ever had. Unc got a Reuben. The man is from Brooklyn, NY and he had true compliments for the sandwich. Solid fresh Rye bread. The Thousand Island was creamy and housemade but the real winner was the corned beef dont know if it was house made as well but made the sandwich a 9/10. He said the kraut was a tad old like it may turn soon. Waitress was suoer attentive atmosphere was busy but not crowded and the decor is pretty interesting you could take some time to look around for sure. If you still have room after your monster meal, try one of their housemade baked goods you wont be disappointed. Best Diner in ABQ! read more

What happened?!? The Range used to be one of my favorite local spots. Food was typically fresh, well cooked and reasonably priced. In the last year or so, the quality has steadily declined and culminated in a meal that is possibly one of the worst things I've ever paid too much money for. I ordered a burger served with Swiss, mushrooms and sautéed onions on a gluten free bun with a side of salad. This is a typical dish for me, I've had it at least a dozen times before and seemed pretty hard to mess up. Ok, let's Start with the salad. It was certainly the smallest portion I'd been served at the Range, but the kicker was the fact that it was a handful of lettuce with way too many tomatoes and horribly overripe cucumbers. After picking my way through the edible parts, I relaxed thinking that the forthcoming burger would make up for my disappointment. The burger was possibly the worst thing I've been served by a restaurant. It initially came with the wrong toppings. Not a huge deal. The waitress took it back and returned with the exact same burger that the kitchen had simply removed the toppings and replaced them with the correct toppings. The first thing I saw was a cold uncooked piece of cheese. Straight out of the fridge on to my dry, now cold bun. I took a leap of faith and bit into the burger only to discover the mushrooms and onions were luke warm and the burger it self was cold and overcooked. I ordered medium rare and this particular burger tasted like it had been cooked most of the previous evening, chilled overnight and reheated in the microwave before returning to room temperature to be served at dinner. Needless to say, this is the end of my enjoyment of the range. It holds fond memories and I've sure had a decent meal there in the past. After a chain of sub par meals leading to this laughably terrible meal, it's time to say goodbye and move on to somewhere I feel I have not just been robbed after eating my meal. P.S. If anyone with buying power at the range happens to read this. Your new vendor for gluten free buns has a product that tastes like chalk and certainly doesn't justify the new 1.00 charge added to my bill. read more

Consistent food and very friendly service! The carne adovada is the most tender and flavorful in the State of New Mexico! Their pastries are fresh and delicious, especially the bear claw. Their pinto beans are quite tasty...and I'm picky about my beans! Additionally, one might be amused with the art work :) Some pieces are silly and others are profound. read more

My wife loves eating here.. she makes me stop by for to go orders at least 4 days a week. She's usually all Asian food, but the meatloaf has her hooked. I love the green chili chicken stew even if it is a little spicy. read more

It is okay to go to every once in a while or if you have visitors from out of town. The prices keep increasing and the menu keeps getting smaller. I used to go all the time but now I only go when I have friends or family from out of town. read more
