The Owl Cafe

My husband and I tried Owl Cafe for the first time and the service and food were great. Everyone that works here is very welcoming and just pleasant to talk with. Our Server Jerrae helps us customize our breakfast to what we wanted and didn't force us to follow exactly how the menu is printed. She makes sure you're happy with your meal and doesn't forget to stay on top of your drinks.

I was reminded recently that the Owl had changed owners and a friend really wanted to make sure his favorite tuna melt was still the deliciousness that he remembered, so off we went. The service as always was amazing and the servers were super friendly. It's a cute little diner with a lot of fun merchandise with some owl-related puns. So also a good place to grab some souvenirs for visitors.They bring you some beans likely mixed with chile and some crackers as a tasty appetizer. I was thrilled to learn there was also a vegetarian version and it was absolutely delightful.I had to try the highly recommended tuna melt. Though I got mine with the side of fries. Normally it comes with chips and salsa so the fries are an add on. The sandwich did not disappoint! I will be back to try some more things.

When in Albuquerque, do yourself a favor and head over to the owl café! Outstanding green chili cheeseburgers, tall, frosty hand-made shakes, delicious cheesy french fries and homemade pies are on the menu at this landmark Albuquerque restaurant that celebrates the heyday and quirkiness of Route 66. While their typical American diner fare is awesome, do yourself a favor and get the New Mexico specialties: posole (pork cubes in red chile gravy), Red or Green enchilada, Chiles Rellenos, or the NM state burger: the green chile cheeseburger. Wash it down with a handmade shake - I got the Hot Mamma (vanilla and green chile). At, caramba was it good!!I had a cup of red posole (instead of fries) and a green chile cheeseburger for lunch, and it was a GREAT lunch! Located 1 block north of the I-40 along Eubank, the Owl Cafe can be super busy at lunch and dinnertime, so make a reservation to ensure you don't have to wait. And pick up a T-shirt too - they have lots of cool designs! 5 Love the Owl stars!

The Owl is a perfectly competent diner, maybe even a little bit better. Diner food, maybe a half step up. Good diner service. And diner ambiance.If you're nearby and enjoy diners then it's well worth a visit.

Great food, great service, and kitschy decor makes the Owl Cafe a great meal spot. I went to the Owl based on a recommendation from Roadside America. I was not disappointed. I went in on Saturday evening for an early dinner, and was seated immediately. The server was friendly and efficient. My meatloaf was delivered fast and piping hot. Everything was cooked perfectly. I was so impressed that I even bought a T-Shirt!!

Have come here multiple times for breakfast and lunch/dinner. Walking in you can tell the feel of the place is 50's dinner. When my parents visit it is one of those places they have to go eat because they love the ambiance of it. I've never had a bad meal here and my favorites are the Owl's Nest for breakfast and any of the burgers for lunch will make you and your belly happy.

Cool old school diner with jukebox's at each table. The service was excellent. I had the Albuquerque Patty Melt which of course has green chile on it! It was very good.

Overrated due to being on breaking bad. Food prices were high. Drink prices outrageous. 5 dollars for a pop! Burgers and sandwiches and quesadillas, empanadas etc were around 20 dollars each. Food was mediocre. I got a reuben sandwich which was fine. Came with tortillachips. I thought was supposed to come with fries. Others like their more traditional new mexican food of quesadilla and enchiladas. Gave us asmall dish for free of beans no big deal. 2 people split a milkshake. They put in2 glasses. They sell lots of souvenirs including t-shirts.Pies and cakes looked great. They had table juke boxes.

The Owl Cafe in Albuquerque recently changed owners, and the boys from the VA Writing Group were interested in assessing whether the quality remained as we all remembered it. Good news--it's the same as before. Join Tom Neiman, Dan Wetmore, Mike Hibner, Mark Fleisher, and Jim Tritten as they sample the excellent food at the long-standing New Mexico favorite. Friendly service and interesting decor make this trip to the east side of town worth the drive. See if you can catch the seat where we saw a flashback sequence between Walter and Jess in the Breaking Bad movie "El Camino." Hint: it is at the end.

This place has a chill diner atmosphere complete with little jukebox terminals at your table just like the diners from my childhood. Great selection of shakes and I really like the fried zucchini and mushrooms combo plate. Service is efficient and friendly.
