Western View Diner & Steakhouse

Came in early on a Sunday, just after the restaurant opened for the day. The parking lot was nearly empty, and only the staff inside. I was greeted with a smile, and seated immediately. There were LOTS of choices on the breakfast menu, but the one I chose was the biscuit and gravy platter. I was not disappointed. The consistency and flavor were perfect on every point, and the prices couldn't be beaten. The old west decor, on old Route 66 marked a perfect breakfast experience, and one I hope to repeat on a future visit.

Dining in on a Saturday, it was slow, with only a few other diners.We parked in the front, pulling in from Central. It's like stepping back in time, giving diner vibes from decades ago. It was dimly lit and they had plenty of pastries to choose from on display. The food was tasty, and the prices are inexpensive. The only thing that I hated was couple sitting near us. The man was so loud and speaking so rudely to what seemed to be his partner...

We decided to give the Western View Steakhouse. another try. We ordered an enchilada plate and a meatloaf plate.The meatloaf plate was fine.The enchilada plate only had two enchiladas. and they were flat. I specifically asked for them to be three-rolled.The menu says that it comes with three rolled or three flat enchiladas.I guess they figured out a way how to save money.At this point, I don't know if it's worth going back if they are going to try cutting corners and still charge the same. My enchilada plate was supposed to come with a sopapilla but came with a store-bought tortilla instead. Very disappointing. We give it time before returning thinking maybe they were just having a rough day, but it seems they've been having a rough few years.

"Honey" or "sweetheart" are terms rarely heard in modern restaurants today. But this is not a modern restaurant it is an anachronism. We pulled up and the exterior was dark, are they open - yes. We walked into a place that could have been set in the 50's. It looked old - but had character. Reminded me of a restaurant I'd frequent in South Texas at least every Friday. We found a booth and wet met by our waitress. Got drinks and menus started looking and found the chicken fried steak, it's hand breaded so that was easy. Add fries, carrots and Texas toast. Memories of Saturday nights. The wife ordered a Mexican Combo plate - taco, tamale, enchilada with rice & beans. Chicken fried steak was delicious, & tender, gravy needed a little pepper. The Combo had great taste and was well seasoned. Generous amounts of green chile and cheese - but not drenched in it.There was plenty of food and it was inexpensive! Can't believe it took us so long to stop.

The food never disappoint. I had the surf & turf last night for Valentine'a Day dinner. My husband always gets the chicken fried steak because it is the BEST we've ever had. I was impressed how quickly we were acknowledged, seated and served. Every seat in the house was taken, but the staff were fast and friendly. The nostalgic ambience reminds me of diners I visited with my parents when I was a child. it's incredibly endearing. We literally live on the other side of the city, but it's ALWAYS worth the drive.

Delicious food, friendly service, 1950s diner atmosphere. The Ribeye steaks are delicious and the Matador Burritos make a wonderful breakfast.

This place takes you back to old diner days. It's been around forever. The menu is huge. It's very old inside a bit more than worn but clean. Remember we were there for the food. My husband. Hsd fish and chips I had a burger. Both came with fries. Everything was good. Prices very low. Fish n chips on special $9.96 we will go again.

Don't drive past this little restaurant without stopping. My husband had the best chicken fried steak ever (after his grandmother's). The owner and staff are just great. Friendly and will be happy to make recommendations. I hope we get the opportunity to go back!

Good, diner-equivalent quality New Mexican meals. Huge portions - I had lunch there and ate half there and the rest for dinner the next day. Hard to beat for the price - anywhere in Albuquerque!
