Well, so much for history. The unique old building is gone, replaced by another self service gas station.

No restaurant here. Called the Palm Side, it's a seedy bar with no food, unless you count the peanuts and popcorn on the bar.

Why is it that the little wide spot in the road towns in NM have the best burger places? Carrizozo is proud to have the Outpost, and I can see why. The burgers are gigantic and the green chile is terrific. Enough french fries to feed a family, and that's just one order. A sad note, though. The liquor license has been sold, so now they just have beer and wine. Too bad, cuz a bar this wicked just isn't the same drinking a wine spritzer. This is a man's bar, where whiskey should flow and tequila be consumed.

Make your way past the contruction yards, industrial areas and vacant lots to Murphy's and you'll be glad you took the time. No "fru-fru" food here, just old fashioned get your grub on meals. If you're counting calories or watching cholesterol, just drive on past. However, if you want to get full and really enjoy it, take the time.

Nothing to write home about. The food is okay, but run of the mill. They've become too corporate, I guess, with the foray into Las Vegas, Nevada. Guess they forgot their roots. I'll stick with Sadie's or Casa Benevidez.

One of the top two mexican places in Albuquerque. I've never left hungry, and believe me, that's saying something. You can enjoy actual mexican cooking without breaking the budget, and they have a full bar to compliment the meal.

This is one of those places that you go for a once-in-a-lifetime meal. That's because you can't afford to eat there again. Took a date, and it set me back over a hundred bills with drinks. And she wasn't even that good looking!

Went with a friend for dinner. Waited forever to get served, got our order mixed up with someone else's, and the dining area was like a refrigerator. Wait staff acted like they had better things to do. Never again.

Why is Subway on this site? From Kauai to Puerto Rico, Subway is Subway is Subway. The subs are good, but to be featured on a dining site? C'mon, people!

Went with the family to dinner here a couple of weeks ago. They stuck us off in the corner and then forgot us. When I finally reminded them that we were there, the waitress copped an attitude. I asked for a manager, and was told that he was too busy to deal with us at the moment. We left and went up the street to Popeyes. Yeah, I'll take fast food chicken over this joint anyday.

Golden Pride....just the name makes me long for great chicken and fantastic burritos. The same people that run the Frontier down by UNM, so some of the same applies. If you're from outta town, be careful of the green chili stew cuz' it's not kind to tourists, but natives love the taste. I go every chance I get.

Went with a date on the recommendation of a friend. Guess I must have made him made at some point cuz this place stunk! I hate going to places where the employees act like they're doing you a favor by taking your money. Nob Hill has become Snob Hill. I long for the good old days of Fat Humphrey's. Now that was a restaurant..........!

Really cool old building. It's an actual firehouse from the early days of Albuquerque. Still has the fire pole and everything. However, the restaurant is now called Gruet Steakhouse and the Monte Vista is upstairs...just the bar, I think. Food is okay, a little pricey, but you could do worse. (See review for Scalos).

Maybe I've missed something in my 30+ years in Albuquerque, but isn't Maloof's a beer distribution company? I don't think they have a restaurant there, cuz all I've ever seen there is beer trucks and lots of pallets. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think so.

My date urged me to try Greek food, so she and I went to Mykonos. If this is how all Greek food is, then I want no part of it. Overpriced, miniature portions, snotty help.
