Laguna Burger

Cam here on a Friday for lunch pickup and the place was packed. Got the regular Laguna Burger with fries for my dad and a breakfast wimp and prickly pear lemonade for myself. The burger was plenty with 2 patties, but the patties could've been cooked a little bit more as they were still pinkish. A little pricey, but food came out quickly. 2024 #74

If you are a local, a "burqueno" if you will, what is the first place that comes to mind when you want a "Green Chile Cheeseburger"? That's a hot topic. Some people would say Lotaburger, or Rex's. We actually mentioned both. My boyfriend said Laguna Burger, and I passed thinking, you want to drive all the way out to Laguna? The one at the Pit Stop is the one that came to my mind, but he reminded me that there is one in town now. That's riiiiggght. So, that's where we went, he's never been.I've been to the Pit Stop location in Laguna Pueblo, as well as the one across from Route 66 Casino off I-40, and yes, I've been to this location as well. it wasn't too late, about 7 pm, and not busy at all. No line, but about a half dozen tables already seated. He got the Laguna Burger and I went with the Mushroom Swiss Wimp. It was not long before our food arrived. Both burgers looking great and of course I grab a fry off his plate. It was nice and fresh, hot. I sprinkled a lil salt on em, they needed it, hahaha!I picked up my burger and went in for a bite. It was good, filled with a lot of onions and mushrooms along with a healthy slice of swiss cheese. The only thing missing, was some heat. My burger was not hot. The patty didn't just come off the grill. The onions and mushrooms, basically room temp. Luckily for me, I wasn't craving anything, I wasn't excitedly waiting for my burger. At what I could and left it at that. I was not impressed. I checked in when we came in and wondered why the 3 star rating with almost 400 reviews, now, I can see why. No one ever wants to go to a burger joint and get a cold burger with a patty and condiments that were cooked in advance.

Came in on a Friday night and they weren't too busy, but it was a 30+ min wait for three burgers, fries, and a patty melt.Deja was on the register and soooo sweet. Talk about customer service! The guys prepping the food were also friendly and helped us decide what to order. The food was super slow to come out and when I went back to order a second side of fries, the wait was almost as long as it was for the entire order even though we saw the fries sitting in the baskets waiting to be served. Minus one star because they don't have unsweetened tea in bottles or dispensers. They said they were done brewing for the day. At 6:15 PM. Seems early to stop brewing tea and the bottled offerings are unfortunately only sweet tea. Minus one star for Yoli who is perhaps the most impolite and grouchy person ever. She was rude to Deja, she was rude to me, she was rude to my dad. All of these instances were separate and I hope this is just her having a bad night and not the way she usually treats people. She should not be in customer service if this is her usual behavior.The fries were excellent. The burgers were a good size, but the green chile wasn't hot. The meat needed seasoning.

As far as burgers go this was a good burger it was juicy and cook well. The toppings were fresh and tasted good. The service was good and the staff was friendly. The restaurant be thing that was not great was the fires. They lacked any kind of seasoning on them and were okay nothing to be excited about.

I ordered the Wimp Burger - it was good; fully seeded bun in case you have an allergy - be aware. Vanilla shake - basic, nothing special. Husband had the patty melt said it was good.

The Laguna burger with fries is the best item on the menu the meat is always fresh cooked when ordered green chile is flavorful and not to hot just right and there French fries are so so good ! The kids menu is great they can get a smaller hamburger or grilled cheese sandwich which is made like you would at home not skimpy on the cheese and grilled perfect . Love the house margaritas also and they were very courteous . They have music playing 80's hard rock and it's just not for everyone trying to enjoy their meal . It doesn't bother me but it kinda irritates my friend lol !

At 11 am they had a line out the door, so I left. Came in just after 1pm and it was busy, busy !! Getting through the line took a long time but my food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the salmon salad, so I'm sure a well-done burger would have taken longer. As for the staff I can't comment much because they barely said anything to me except the total of my order. I can say the guy on the fry station is a machine ! He was killing it back there. If he had a tip jar I would have tipped him for a beautiful performance of efficiency and skill.The lemonade is ok. The salad is ok. Their burgers must be really good to stand in line, but I don't eat burgers. So I guess I'm missing out. The salmon is a bit over cooked and the croutons are stale. But the price is ok. $16 for lunch.

I cannot remember the last time I had such a wonderful perfect burger. The place is hopping at lunch time, so don't expect your food in a hurry. But it is so worth the wait. The burger is perfectly seasoned and flavorful; the french fries are good, but the onion petals are out of this world!! The patio is dog-friendly and it was very cold and windy when we visited, which we appreciated because the pigeons are hungry and numerous. Loved this visit and will return next time I'm through Albuquerque!

Great food. great service.It was clean. I would recommend this place to eat out. Kids friendly environment.

Great green chile cheese burger, good fries. Hard to go wrong! I even enjoy their frito pie and green chile stew. Counter service, friendly cashier, nice clean open seating area, and relatively quick food delivery make it a convenient enjoyable experience.
