I came in for a skillet and was surely tempted by the early bird burrito special, but I ended up getting the biscuit and gravy and I couldn't be happier. The biscuit and gravy was fairly standard with the plate brimming with gravy, but what really set it apart was the homemade sausage patty that made it look like a full-sized hamburger was missing its meat. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the meal was very filling for a good price. The service was fast and friendly and I hope to be back soon to try the rest of the breakfast menu.

Pleasant atmosphere and extremely nice servers and workers. But personally, just didn’t have much flavor in the food I ordered. The beef and chicken tacos didn’t have any wow factor and the rice was a bit undercooked/no flavor. I will say my friend that brought me there loves the place and goes there often to get breakfast/brunch items. I may have made the wrong choice choosing a lunch item. He really enjoyed and devoured his breakfast - carnitas skillet with the yummy red Chile sauce. I’d order that if I went back.

Tried this place for the first time and we really enjoyed our breakfast! The cinnamon roll was to die for. Loved the atmosphere, the oldies on the radio, decor, everything. Can't wait to come back.

So my wife and I were trying to decide on what to eat. So I googled and found this spot. By looking at the menu pics online, it looked good and it was. I had the Navajo taco breakfast and as you can see from my pics I finished the whole thing. My wife had the Smothered papitas skillet with adobada meat and that was good also. When it comes to the word Cafe that's exactly what this is with great customer service. Great Cafe food for a great price. Thanks guys will be back to try dinner.

Really good food, good service. The place could use a little updating, especially the men's room. It seems that they are short staffed, like many other places.

What an excellent food experience absolutely everything I have tried on this menu so far is delicious and it kind of reminds me of it Denny's sort of feel just way better food and much faster service thinking about making this restaurant a weekly tradition

Their foods reminded me of my grandma's cooking. I enjoyed eating all of breakfasts and lunches

Go with my parents from time to time, never disappointed by the food quality. Chick-fried-steak and eggs are my go to, just tried the California wrap and it's really good, my new favorite. Mom and pops vibe definitely and wait staff is always friendly.

very recommendable fare here! I'm a simple traveler just stopping by the city, but I can say for sure that I'll be coming back soon as I can.. it's a great deal, and it feels good to support a local business. Waitresses were awesome too -- very warm and friendly.

A gem along Gibson Ave near Kirkland AFB. This restaurant has comfortable seating and a menu that will amaze you with numerous options. The breakfast skillets are incredible, the eggs are cooked to your liking, and the French toast is delightful. The corn beef hash was the best, and don't forget to try their homemade breakfast sausage. The papas are delicious! Great service and very reasonable prices.

Hamburgers were served cold on a dry bun with no garnish. Condiments were requested and never delivered. Service was almost nonexistent. We've eaten there multiple times and it's never been this slow with nearly inedible food. Never going back.

This is one place that I'd love to not only come back to, but I'll be bringing my own family, AND friends over to eat here. It's excellent beyond. Thanks for everything copper canyon. Thanks

This is a go to spot for ABQ locals that work on base or at the VA hospital. Given the challenging location, they do a great job keeping this place well maintained and serving quality food. It's got to be tough running a success restaurant in this area.

We were in the area, saw this great looking cafe, and dropped by for breakfast. We enjoyed it so much, we returned the following day for more. We chose the more traditional breakfast offerings. The food was delicious, and the service was responsive even during a busy Sunday morning. (We had a really friendly waiter named Marco, if memory serves). We will definitely be back the next time we are in town.

The only reason I'm giving it a four is because the red chili was more like tomato sauce. Sorry guys but every other way. Oh my gosh the food was amazing! The egg for cooked perfect and all hash browns were perfect. Beans were good. You know not bad so I really got a nourishing breakfast and actually took some with me in a togo container. Yeah but if they could work on the red chili that would be super awesome. I would go back there.

Copper Canyon Cafe should not be overlooked! This place is the best of the best! Enjoy their corn beef hash and eggs, comes with hash brown or pepitas and either pancakes or toast! We tried a side of homemade broccoli cheese soup which was excellent. The staff is most excellent and friendly! The cooks we haven’t seen but they are the best too! Ask for a side of red or green chili is so good, not canned! The prices are very reasonable and you will not leave hungry! I used to go to Wecks but now we can’t stop going to Copper Canyon Cafe!

My waitress Danielle was horrible ghetto rude and her fat was hanging out of her shirt and it made me sick. She acted like we were not welcome there. It was 30 mins before closing she seemed mad! Almost didn’t want to eat because of fear she spit in it or something. The food was good but the service was the worst! We won’t be back! Loved it here but service has gone down hill. Get nicer servers! Set higher standards on how they present themselves.

I always recommend Copper Canyon to Veterans and their families that are visiting from out of town. There is a discount for Vets.Even without a discount, the prices are affordable, and their food is always so good. The portions are large, but so satisfying that you don't want to stop eating until you feel like you're going to burst. The wait staff is so friendly and attentive. The coffee is good and so are the hash browns and papas.

This place was one that I didn't get to the whole time it has been open. I regret not stopping by before. The specials are good deals so look for them. I wanted eggs and potatoes and pancakes. I got the whole hog omelette, which has 3 eggs, ham, bacon, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. 8 also got the papas instead of hash browns. I wanted to try the chili to see what it was like. I'm glad I did it has great flavor and the heat was not too hot so it was like most people could deal with . It also came with 2 very thick and heavy pancakes. That is all you'll need but you will probably ask for extra syrup so get some.b Wow it was awesome. The waitress was not so focused, but the food made me overlook her inattention. The price are about right except the drinks watch the prices milk is 2 bucks and a coke is $3.95. What that's crazy. I will be coming back very soon the food will make you come back. Enjoy!

Because its off of Gibson I thought it was going to be a dingy place but when we walked in it was like a mini crackle barrel. Very welcoming but a small charming cozy place. The prices aren't that bad and our total was only 40 bucks which paid for a waffle combo with hash browns, eggs, sausage and two stacks of pancakes. Plus my boyfriends food which was a carnita combo with eggs, potatoes and peppers. We both got drinks as well and fast service! We have a 3 month old too and she did pretty well. Everyone kept telling us how cute she is! Definitely would go again and recommend anymore here. Warning though; It is a quiet place and quiet people should go. A lot of old folks were there and small families.

Just tried out the breakfast burrito. I am usually not up early enough to catch the special before 8:30. My husband had been telling me it was 4 bucks before then. And they actually got it right! Now I know it seems trivial.. But for some reason many places out here don't give the right ratio of ingredients (not enough cheese or hash browns) or they mess the bacon up (it's burnt or tastes old and reheated) OR it weighs 6 oz and they wanna overcharge. But this place I assure you made everything perfect! A good sized burrito. I could tell when I grabbed the bag by the weight of it! Seemed like there might of been two in it. But low and behold the green chili on the side was a considerable amount. AND, it tasted amazing! So if you are a greenchili lover, no need to ask for extras they already accommodate. I was very pleased with the taste the amount of food that was given and the price. As someone who is Californian and had access to at least 50 different places all with great breakfast burritos, I can definitely assure you that Copper Canyon Cafe has the best breakfast burritos in Albuquerque!

Nice friendly locally owned family restaurant. I eat here often usually for breakfast. The thick cut bacon is usually cooked how you request it as well as the eggs. The staff is friendly and attentive. I have had occasions when they have ran out of items such as sour dough and today they did not have any chickenfried steak. They serve Pepsi products, which is becoming a rarity. They open at 7 but I do wish they opened earlier at least for carryout. Well on second thought maybe it's a good thing they don't since I would be tempted to eat there more often. The salads served with the meals are fresh. Have never had a problem finding parking. The coffee is decent as well. The have an area that you could use for a group meeting. The price isn't bad. Not sure if they offer a military discount or not.

Finally tried eating here. I'd been meaning to for a while. They were pretty busy, but I didn't have to wait too long to be seated and once I was the service was very good. Got the chicken fried steak for lunch. With the creamy broccoli soup instead of a salad. The soup was really good, the chicken fried steak was fantastic, and the mashed potatoes were pretty good as well. Lots of gravy on everything. Good quality meat. I've had some stringy chicken fried steak before but theirs was perfect. Very hot and filling (more that I could eat to be honest). Especially for the price. I highly recommend and will definitely be returning.
