Country Pride

We were visiting family in the area and stopped by because my daughter wanted pancakes. Parking was great and we were greeted by staff the moment we walked through the door. The staff was amazing from the moment we stepped inside, super genuine smiles, engaging in conversation and we were able to pick our table. They took the time to help me go over the menu for my daughter’s order because of her dietary restrictions. They laughed with her and told her about all the fun things that were going on downtown and at the Balloon Fiesta while I looked over the menu for food for me. The food came out quickly and when I say it was AMAZING, that doesn’t even begin to describe the wonderfulness that graced my taste buds. It was so good it brought tears to my eyes and my daughter was literally eating the pancakes as I was cutting them (she usually waits for syrup) but she told me it didn’t need syrup because it was too yummy. We will definitely be regular customers every time we’re in town.

I ordered philly omelet and it wasn’t bad. Nice place to spend until you change your oil. But be careful though, homeless lady tried to steal a phone from the guy who went to pay or something. And i feel sorry for guys who have to deal with criminals day to day, and they can’t really do anything until they break a law. Saaad.

I've probably been in at least one Country Pride in every state in which it exists and while they're pretty consistent across the board, this one is exceptional enough for me to take the time to review. Literally one of the best burgers I've ever had. I mean, yes I was hungry but it was cooked perfectly. I was about to give my compliments to the cook when he stopped by my table to ask how it was. Also the service was excellent by the chillest server on the planet. Dude was on point. Being a female trucker I try to avoid stopping overnight in Albuquerque like the plague and hadn't been here in years. It seems to have calmed down a bit outside and the restaurant has certainly improved. No cops also.. always a plus! I'll probably at least roll through for another burger one of these days.
