    Cutest coaster!
    Heather V.

    Okay, so, we are staying in a yurt in Tijeras and wanted to go have dinner so we drove 11 minutes to the Trail Rider! I read the reviews and had to come! This spot is cute. Right next to Triangle Grocery on 14. The place was pretty busy when we arrived at 6:30pm but we were seated right away and had great service from our waitress and we even had the owner come around. I had the second street brewery Agua Fria Pilsner, which I hadn't had and REALLY liked it. It is also gluten removed!! Woo hoo! My hubby had the La Cumbra Malpais Stout, which he drinks at home anyway. I ordered the Rueben. Now listen, I LOVE a good Rueben and hate a bad one. Don't we all. This Reuben was the BOMB! Trail Rider smokes their own pastrami and holy cow was this sandwich good! It was tasty! The rye was yummy, the sauerkraut was on point and the meat.... OMG. Listen, I ate the entire sandwich!! And the fries were tasty with enough salt that I didn't need ketchup. My hubby had the smash burger and ate most of it. The rest was lovingly placed in a to go box. We also got the Platinum bar - peanut butter, rice crispies and chocolate and my hubby got the mudslide. Which was Oreos and chocolate mouse and whipped cream. Both were yummy. The service, care and scrumptious food will bring me back. Even from the Westside of Albuquerque because it was that good. Next time we need to try the pizza and the pasta but I will come back again and again for the Rueben. Thank you Trail Rider!!

    There was a sign on the door they were short staffed but Kevin was on his A game. He was beyond pleasant and attentive. We tried several samples of beers before we decided. We had the fried green chile strips with green chile ranch. Yum. The reuben sandwiches were delicious as well. The drive up was awful due to the construction but Kevin made the delay worth it.

    Focaccia MARY LOU (HOT SUB) THE BEST OMG

    This sandwich should be on a show somewhere omg I swear I swallowed it whole I couldn't stop

    Vegan meatball sub, fries and blood orange cider

    I had heard good things about the pizza, but then noticed that there were a variety of vegan items on the menu so I had to try those. I will be back and try the pizza next time this is a great place to stop in after a hike on the east side of the Sandias! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so whether and bug-depending, you can enjoy more outdoors! The place isn't huge, so I could imagine it might get crowded at various times of day, but it was pretty quiet at 7pm on a Saturday and I was a bit surprised. Anyway, the wait staff was all very friendly and our food came out quickly. They also have Tractor blood orange cider on tap, or at least did the evening we were there. I had the vegan meatball sub which came with fries. Since I'm not vegan, I did swap in the dairy-based cheese. The sandwich was delightful and huge. It was definitely two meals, especially with the fries which were done just right. Give this place a try, go for the pizza, go for the vegan options, but regardless just go check it out!

    Another great lunch at TrailRider. Smoked pastrami Reuben with salad was great and buffalo chicken always tasty. Service was spot on. Must visit.

    Fried Green Chile Strips

    Had an amazing waitress, Kayden (I hope I spelled that right). Food was delicious, it deserves a return visit to try other things on the menu.

    Front signage.  It's a little hard to see on your fist visit.  But my GPS got me right there

    My first visit to this establishment. In the time I have lived in Albuquerque (little over 3 years) I have not done much up Tijeras and Cedar Crest Way. They featured Irish music tonight, so I ventured up and was pleased by 1. The scenic location 2. The food 3. The music. Staff greeted me warmly as I entered and were attentive during my time there. The decor is casual and comfortable. Although listed as pizza restaurant, the menu includes many other items as well. The beer and wine list looks good; I stuck with soda on this trip. I went with the vegan meatball sub. It included vegan cheese and came with side of fries. I do a lot of vegan cooking at home; ended up being very impressed with the vegan meatballs. Nice texture, good herbs and spices. Prices are on the low side! The music was very pleasant and importantly to me, was done at a subdued volume. I'll be back!

    Green chile appetizer with house made Extra Green Chile Ranch, tractor blood oranger cider, and agua frieo Pilsner
    Rebecca W.

    Love everything! The atmosphere is super friendly and chill; I love the signed pizza boxes by some of my favorite bands! The fried green chile appetizer was great, really enjoyed the house made dressings, and the salad was fresh. My husband loved his Reuben sandwich, he made sure to tell the chef it was excellent .

    Toppings were fresh. Dough was a little flavorless and needed more sauce.

    Low value HIGH price. You can get a large pizza at Dions for the same price as a small at Trail Rider.

    I came to Pizza Barn in Edgewood for "a quick slice." I left…read morein a food coma questioning all my past pizza choices. This pizza is THICK. CHEESY. LOADED. The crust has that perfect crunch-but-soft situation like it went to culinary school. The sauce actually tastes like tomatoes (wild concept). And they do NOT play games with toppings -- they pile them on like they love you. Staff is friendlier than a small town parade. Orders come out fast, hot, and correct (which in 2026 is basically a miracle). If you don't like Pizza Barn, I don't trust you. This is Edgewood royalty. Five stars. Would risk lactose intolerance again.

    We were invited to check out Pizza Barn. This establishment is definitely very popular. Although…read moreour arrival for dinner was quite early in the day, there was a long line to order your food. There was a bit of a wait to get to order however, with 4 servers taking orders we got it done in no time. Then we were able to go find a table and sit and wait for our dinner to be brought out. We each had a beer to drink and beer came out right away. This restaurant is lively and quite loud volume. You definitely have to talk louder so that you can all have a conversation. Soon after buffalo wings and fried pickles arrived. We were definitely enjoying our food. While waiting for the pizzas to arrive we were able to watch the football games from several large tv screens. 10 minutes later our pizzas came out. The pepperoni and green chile and 2nd pizza jalapeno ground beef and fresh sliced tomatoes were tasty. Everything came out delicious. Our visit to the Pizza Barn was great fun and tasty.
