My family and I went for our first time today and we enjoyed it. The building is clean, including the machines to produce the milk shakes. Our waitress was helpful and very nice to us. The wait time for our food was a little long but it was worth the wait. My family and I agreed that the food we ordered was delicious and came out to our table perfectly. The staff are nice and helpful there too.
When it comes to the vibes, it's there. You definitely feel like you are back in the day. The jukebox works which is a huge plus because there are several diners we have been to that had jukeboxes but never worked. The music came out of the jukebox clearly and sounds like you're playing it on a record player! I highly recommend this place to visit if it's your first time. We plan on returning in the future again.
I've read the Google reviews prior to our experience today and I came in not knowing what to expect, whether or not this will be a good or bad experience but I figured I would give it a try. I was surprised at how well the food was, the vibes, the staff, and the working jukebox. I'd say a lesson I learned from this is that people have opinions and different experiences than others, but you're not going to know if you will enjoy something until you try it for yourself.

We had a wonderful lunch here. This is a nice, traditional diner with friendly, helpful staff.

Great food, good service. The kids love going there for the shakes after dinner! One thing stops us from visiting more often is the price of dining g there. Most meals were around $20.00 each, plus $4 or $5.00 more per person for drinks. (I drank water and ordered the chef's special to save some money.) Total bill was $120.00 for two adults and four kids to eat. The kids even split shakes to keep the costs down. That's outrageous for a diner/ice cream parlor. This is NOT an upscale place!

IDK how I've never eaten at Owl Cafe until now!I ordered the Green Chile Cheeseburger w/ bacon, avocado, and extra onions! Onion rings, ranch, and a mayo-based dip that I wasn't too fond of; everything else was SOO DELICIOUS 🤤

I LOVE this place. Definitely going back the next time I visit Albuquerque! My husband and I had the green chile burger (husband had the double) and shared the onion loaf with my friends. Also had a peanut butter shake. Our friends ordered tacos and a club sandwich. They had the chocolate peanut butter shake. We bought t-shirts too, and chatted a little with the owner about the Breaking Bad filming at this location. And to top it all off, we sat in the same booth Jesse and Walter were in. 🙂

Step back a few decades into a classic diner. I've been in my share of diners. This one remains authentic. They sell shirts, but other than that, you'd be forgiven for thinking you stepped into 1977.
Even if you are just swinging in here for Breaking Bad, yes there is a photo, stay for the food and quality service.
They even have hot beef if you are so inclined.

Definitely a unique experience that feels like a blast from the past. Really comfy 70s diner experience complete with a working table jukebox machine from the era, which is incredible to see. Servers were friendly, but were a little spread thin. An experience if you want a unique lunch.

For breakfast, I had the Rustic Corned Beef Hash with red potatoes, spicy green chili with an overeasy egg on top. I was impressed. The flavors were right on and tasted fresh and savory. The only thing that I have to say is the tortilla wasn't warmed. Other than that , the meal was excellent!

LOVED the atmosphere, service, and food. Very fun and laid back. I got the pork adovada with a local beer, and my husband got a burger and milkshake. Everything great (plus the food came faster than expected) and plenty food to bring home for another meal. The shake takes times, which is fine because its practically dessert. Btw the toffee coffee milkshake was SO freaking tasty.

“Grease burger” is actually a compliment for this place! I was very pleasantly surprised by Owl Cafe.
I tried OC for the first time for a Sunday evening dinner. Our server Holly was friendly, attentive, and answered our questions. I ordered a Bleu Max Burger, which came with “a mound of bleu cheese & grilled onions topped with lettuce, tomato, & mayo”, accompanied by french fries, for $16.70.
After ordering, Holly brought us a small plate of complimentary spiced pinto beans with green chile and crackers. I hadn’t had that as an appetizer before, and I usually don’t enjoy pinto beans, but it was pretty good.
The burger was great! Usually the bleu cheese isn’t very noticeable to me on black and bleu burgers, but this was sharp and delicious. Everything is cooked to order. The portions of the burger and fries were huge! I almost always eat my entire meal while dining out, and I took half of it home for my next meal. I still had no room for a milkshake even with saving half!
The diner is casual and 50s themed with working mini juke boxes in the booths near the center of restaurant. They play music for the entire place. There’s postcards and shirts for sale, along with baked goods to go.
The restaurant and tables are accessible to patrons using a wheelchair. Large bodied people will not have an issue at this establishment; there are non-booth tables, and the chairs have no sides and are a sturdy metal.
Go get your burger! We’ll be returning shortly.
