Owl Cafe

A classic diner that has some of the best homemade pies, seasonal milk shakes (candy cane? Yum!) and a decent amount of diversity on the menu. You won't get Almond milk creamer for your coffee, but you will get large portioned meals with very friendly service.

I know about the hype, but it is overhyped. The food is overpriced and bland. Their appetizers were okay but the entree was disappointing. I had to add salt to taste something. The staff was very nice, I think they could tell I didn't enjoy my food and tried making up for it. The decor is nice but there is so much potential for this place. I recommend going for a snack or dessert, don't go for a meal.

Loved the vibe inside! Old school diner feeling. Waitress was wonderful and very helpful. Food could have been more seasoned if I'm being honest.

“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.

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.

This place rocks! I absolutely loved getting to come here with my girlfriend. The nachos and chili chimi dog were delicious! The owl nachos are made with beef, not owl, but besides that it was a fantastic experience.

LOVE THIS PLACE.

hands down, the very best slice of apple pie p& the very best slice of pecan pie i have EVER enjoyed! & handmade by our server too?? c'mon!! what more could you ask for?!

i highly suggest the french dip - omg YUMMM!!

Quiet, local spot with a complete breakfast menu. Ordered the Carne Adovada which was advertised as New Mexico style dish but there were the standard staples as well. Dish was delicious and staff was friendly. Would repeat and recommend!

Family came in Monday afternoon, wasn't too busy. Has a '50s diner aesthetic with golden oldies music playing. The wife and I both had the Albuquerque patty melt with cheddar cheese and fries. It was fantastic, well seasoned and juicy and the fries were perfect. When we were first seated they brought out a bowl of pinto beans with green chilies and crackers which also was divine. For an appetizer we had the "owl" onion loaf which was a new take on fried onions for us. Service was great, everyone was friendly and was not disappointed.

So so good!!! The food was divine, the atmosphere was fun and the service was outstanding! The perfect family friendly restaurant.
