    Smashed open faced burger on top of fries. Lots of green chile

    Smashed burger with fries. Great tasting. Service was great. Ambiance like other Range cafes

    We came in to catch the seasonal (at least now, it used to be a staple), turkey dinner. Alas, they were out. I ordered a BYOB hamburger, husband got the turkey club. Both were good. Service was very good. We love this Range Cafe the most. The atmosphere inside is more open and we think the best decorated. We've had many things here, tacos, green chile stew (a FAV), burgers, enchiladas, salads, just about everything ! Our absolute favorites lie in the bakery and our standout favorite is the vanilla coconut cream pie! Try it at least once !

    This restaurant is an absolute joke. The manager is a joke after an hour and a half everybody that even came in after us got fed we waited for close to two hours to sit down never got drink refills never even got our food. Don't waste your time unless you wanna spend half a day trying to get food Management needs replacement kitchen needs help and I can't tell you how the food is cause we never got it. The host was unfriendly from the start, waitress never came back after we ordered and the manager was complacent. The restaurant was half empty and the service was non existent. Talking to the manager she could care less. Owners should take not that this team has no care in the world about customer service, timeliness or quality. Because you have a good reputation doesn't mean you get to ignore customers and expect support. What a HUGE disappointment!!!

    Tasty food at good prices with a super waitress who worked a shift that was down 3 waitresses, but she worked hard enough that we didn't even notice having to wait for anything. We had the green chili cheeseburger sliders, and they were delicious! Fresh bun, warm, and a little larger than what we think of typical sliders. I got the avocado toast Benedict on sourdough with perfectly poached eggs, Hollandaise sauce, grilled asparagus, tomato, feta (I think)....absolutely delicious and filling. The Range has a great variety on menu, and its food has been consistently good over the many years we've visited. Highly recommend!

    It's supposed to be chicken stew.

    You can improve. Been here before. Never again. Green chile stew. You mean vegetable stew. Blue corn pancakes. Where is the blue corn? Our waitress has filled our coffee once had to ask for more. Waited for her to return with raw sugar coffee got cold. Dulce needs a little attention on customer service.

    I liked my food and so did my partner but nothing was amazing. Everything was a ok to meh. The staff was great and I thought were very friendly and nice. I found my sandwich a bit dry and I think had bits of egg shell or something crunchy a couple times on the French toast breading. The fruit cup had tiny pieces of pineapple I would have composted. My partner had the biscuits and gravy and they were also ok. The eggs were a touch undercooked for him with not all the white solid. Again the staff were fantastic, food was ok and for the price underwhelming. I would go back if it was the most convenient location.

    The Range Cafe has plenty of seating o accommodate small or large groups of people. They have an amazing selection of homemade pastries. Their serving sizes are generous and they also serve alcohol for those that are wanting mimosas with breakfast. They also have happy hour specials during the week.

    The pecan roll was delicious along with coffee. I ordered the carne breakfast which was mediocre at best. The carne adovada was not that great. Having said that the sweets are most likely their highlight. Plenty to choose from. They also have a late night happy hour which most places do not offer. I would come back because they have a large menu and I think its worth another shot.

    For bring in town for 24 hours this is a place you have to put on your list to experience. It is a local gem and has so much of the NM cultural experience within it. Super fun and worth the visit!

    Solid funky spot with interesting decor... be sure to order something with green chile and take in the unusual vibes. Be careful you may spot an alien in the bathroom. I got the carrot cake + banana cake and both were pretty solid. The iced tea was refreshing. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable. Interested to try a different cake next time or stop by for a complete meal.

    Pancakes

    Upon entering the building, I was greeted immediately by the hostess across the room at the host counter. Very helpful and friendly. I let her know I was placing a to go order. I ordered the wagon trail, which comes with two eggs, two bacon front range, potatoes and pancakes. There are of course options too. Add toppings and what not. I ordered my eggs, scrambled well, the bacon extra crispy, and some strawberry topping for the pancakes. I waited nearly 35 minutes for mine to go order. In which the hostess did continually let me know, she was checking on my order. I asked for some utensils which she promptly put in my bag and I went out to my vehicle. I opened everything up which looked initially good. However, there was no butter syrup or strawberries. I did go back in and I was given those items by another hostess. The bacon looked nearly raw and almost un edible. Definitely not extra crispy. The sausage was extra greasy. I know some sausages are. The eggs appeared to be cooked as I requested but no salt or pepper on them. The potatoes by Farr were the biggest disappointment as they just seemed like they were cut up potatoes and baked. There was no flavor. No seasoning. Nothing. Just cut up potatoes. The pancakes I normally don't order at restaurants, but I thought I would give it a try as this place was recommended from a friend. The pancakes were definitely light and fluffy and smelled amazing. Their flavor was fairly decent. I feel for $25 which is what I paid for this meal there was definitely a decent amount of food, but the disappointment with everything else made it not worth the money. The good news is my dog did not discriminate on this meal at all, and she promptly finished everything for me.

    Blue corn pancakes

    I have eaten here about 8 times over the last few years and it never disappoints!! I have had everything from soups to pancakes and desserts. The blue corn blueberry pancake was the bomb today, as well as the vanilla coconut cream pie. I will be back!!! Wish we had this restaurant in my state.

    I absolutely love this place. I've been here a handful of times now, and every visit has been a…read moregood one. The kids are happy, I'm happy, and honestly, that's a successful breakfast in my book. The only downside is the limited seating. It's a smaller location, so it can fill up quickly, especially during the breakfast rush. If you happen to come during a really busy time, you may have to wait a bit to find a table. That said, I don't think it takes away from the experience you just have to time it right. We usually come for breakfast since they're open for breakfast and lunch, and this time I tried the Grande burrito. And let me tell you, "Grande" is not an exaggeration. That is a LOT of food. I got the bacon-smothered burrito with red chile, and it was delicious. Unfortunately, I could not finish it. I do wish there was something between the Grande and Junior because the Grande is a serious commitment, and I'm not sure the Junior would be enough. I'll have to try it next time and find out. My daughter ordered the steak sandwich, which comes with an Angus sirloin steak on Texas toast. It looked a little wild when it came out, but she ate it and said it was delicious, so apparently the presentation was just part of the experience. My son got the sausage, egg and cheese biscuits. He ate the whole thing, so clearly he approved. His only complaint was that the biscuit kept falling apart, but considering he's a little kid, I'm going to blame that one on the user rather than the biscuit. The staff has always been friendly during our visits. On this particular morning, a gentleman came around several times to refill our house coffee, which I always appreciate. Good service and a full coffee cup go a long way. And if you're into pastries and coffee, they have plenty of options. I've tried their blueberry muffin, and it is divine. They also have different baked scones, and I've had their lattes and macchiatos, which have all been really good. I still need to come back during the lunch hours because there are several things I want to try. The hot beef sundae caught my attention, and the Philly also looked really good. There are so many different options that I feel like I could keep coming back and ordering something different every time. This is definitely the kind of place where you can stop in, grab something really good, enjoy a little coffee, and get on with your morning. It's casual, welcoming, and consistently good. Limited seating is really my only complaint. Otherwise, I've been here multiple times and have yet to leave disappointed. Definitely a must-try!

It does get very busy so prepare to find a table once you order. The food is always amazing! It has a diner setting but home cooked charm. Some highlights would be the biscuits and gravy, breakfast burrito (smothered), huevos rancheros, and their pancakes! Anything you pick, you can't go wrong. If parking fills up, they have an additional lot just east of the property! Albuquerque hospitality mixed with old town charm, stop in, get fed, and support local!

I've been hitting all the spots I can and being very strategic about the food stops. This place is nostalgic, historic, and right along the way in Albuquerque, New Mexico. 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.

Came to the table all dressed up in a tall soda glass with enough extra served up in the stainless steel shake mixing cup it was made in. This place is a must stop while out on your Route 66 travels.

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.

The area looks old and poor, but near the restaurant, we didn't see anything sketchy. When we were leaving, we did see some homeless people at the main intersection, but we didn't see anything we'd describe as sketchy. We did notice there is a mobile home park behind the restaurant, but there is a wall between the mobile home park and the restaurant parking lot. Even if there were police surrounding the mobile home park, we'd still venture inside to eat. The food is that good. We shared the cowboy breakfast burrito and the Santa Fe pancakes. Both were filling and ridiculously good. The Santa Fe pancakes made with blue corn, roasted piñons, green chili, and cheddar jack cheese were different than anything else we've ever had. I'll admit I didn't love my first bite or two, but the more I ate, the more I wanted. The pancakes are dry, but if you drizzle some syrup, it's the perfect match. The accompanying eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly. The cowboy breakfast burrito is massive, filling, and worth every calorie. Even though we were stuffed, we had to get the peach with green chile turnover. We asked if the turnover is served warm and our waitress replied that she could warm it up for is. I'm not sure that it is normally served warm, but I highly recommend it. The turnover flaky, the glaze was silky once warmed up and the peach with green chile was unique and delicious. Five star service and food. I highly recommend Vick's Vittles and hope that I'm in the area again so I can try more of this delicious food.
