I ordered a burger, some zucchini fries, and fried mushrooms. Burger was juicy and perfect, fried mushrooms were on point, and the zucchini fries were a solid 3.5 of 5. Atmosphere was great. Most importantly, I was impressed with the salsa. Could have been spicier but the flavor was great. I'm coming back for the rib eye next time More

Underrated hidden jem. IYKYK. Food is freshly made to order over a hot grill. You go in and order at the counter, find a seat and wait for your name to be called. Friday and Saturday nights they have live music. Free chips and salsa while you wait and some of the best burgers and grilled chicken in the city. More

I travel and am always looking for local spots to eat. This one is a great one. The chicken sandwich and fries were great. The piece of chicken was huge. The service was great. The staff was very helpful. The owner was out talking to customers when he wasn’t grilling. Great place and awesome food. More

  • Game Over

Everything here is so good. I tried pretty much everything here already. Today was the first time coming inside to eat as I always have others bring me food. And the salsa is so good as well. Like the music and atmosphere. It was awesome would definitely recommend and will always come back!

My son and I go here often (well, he goes for lunch, I'm a tag a long on weekends) Normally get a wonderful Hamberger. Freshly made, tastes great. Apply your own condiments, and get some salsa and chips. Be sure and look at the walls, and antiques that are spread around The Grill. More

2/2/24. Wasn't sure what to expect but pretty cool place. Food service was a little slow but may be because they cook to order. The burger was good but definitely well done. The band made the evening enjoyable. Might try steak next because they looked really good. More

Google only allows me to give this place 5 stars... I'd give it 100+ if I could! I'm going to just let my pictures do the talking. Words don't do this place's food justice. Just come eat here and thank me later. Oh, and tell Phil that Mark sent you! :D More

We came on a Friday night there was a band playing good music. The service is always friendly. The burger was awesome. The fries are great, too. A lot of love is put into the food. Price is a lot better than some of the high-end burger places. More

  • Diana

This is the best burger to get in Albuquerque. The fries were delicious and they have free chips and salsa. They cook the burgers fresh so there is a wait but they were so attentive and polite from the cashier to the cooks. They also had a

If you haven't bothered trying this place, NO clue what your missing! Not only does is serve the best BBQ in town, but it's like a Natural History Museum! If you can't find something amazing and rare on the walls or ceiling that blows your

  • Felicia

I was thinking initially it's was going to be some cheap over priced food with no real customer service. I could not have been more wrong and grateful I was! Long story short. I'd kiss the cook and the rest of the staff there. If you ever

Remember how good Blake's used to be back in the day? Well, now you have this place and just bump up the quality and the yumminess that you remember from Blake's and you have this. Fresh condiments bar for your burgers, wonderful antiques

I have never ordered a ribeye steak to go before I tried it at The Grill on San Mateo. As advertised, they grill all their meats over mesquite. The result is fabulous, smoky flavor throughput the steak. Very nice people working here, they

Great place to stop! The food was great, prices well and the staff was nice. The owner was very friendly towards are large party and gave us a tour of the place. He even welcomed us into his man cave and watched the rams vs saints game!

  • Matt Schildgen

Great people, great food and a good atmosphere. The burgers are some of the best around. They have an order counter and DIY fixins bar with free chips & salsa. We also got a bonus with some free Cajun music. We'll be back for sure! More

  • Carrie Martindale

The Grill on San Mateo here in Albuquerque must be the best place in town for open fire flame broiled, grilling that I know of. At least on my side of town., Not only is their beef amazing but their open flamed grilled chicken is also

Delightful experience. Upon walking in you are greeted with a wide,eclectic variety of various memorabilia...some of which I remember from growing up. It has a very relaxed atmosphere from the walk of stars on the floor leading to the

I had my first visit to this place today, and I can't believe I've been missing out for all these years. The hamburger was undoubtedly the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and had a great vibe. The service,

  • Vic Treez

Do you know how you can tell when a restaurant is good? When the owner is present. We felt very welcomed. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. I'd definitely recommend this little gem when visiting ABQ. More

Amazing burger!! Salsa with the complimentary chips and salsa was so fresh and delicious and the staff was friendly and efficient even though they were extremely busy. Live music was great too. Awesome experience! More

  • Bee Chamcharatsri

Alright, I will write a review for this burger joint. In fact I have eaten here more than any other burger places in town. I always come here for juicy burgers that were grilled on the actual charcoals.

  • Jeff Laun

This was my first time here and I loved the music, the atmosphere, the staff were all really extraordinary. But the hot ticket seems to be the amazing fried zucchini that I can't wait to try again More

4.7 out of 5 Did not disappoint, at all. One of the best burgers I've had- if you like crispy edges on a burger patty, this knocked it out of the park. Highly recommend and

Quirky place with live Appalachian band playing live music. Food was okay, tasty but overcooked. Worth going back just for the friendly staff! Outstanding service! More
