    Came here looking to have a Bloody Mary and happened to find one of the best tasting ones ever. So much so that we had to try another drink and ordered wings and fries to go with it. Heard about their breakfast and that they hand batter their chicken fried steak fresh and we had to come back the next day and try it. Low and behold,,, this is THE BEST chicken fried steak in the state of NM. No joke, you have to come try it for yourself. Plan on coming back many times from here on out to try some other things off their menu.

    I left here so angry. My girlfriend and I ordered two burgers and two guava ciders. The sever had zero menu knowledge, this alone being very frustrating. The server asked us what temperature that we wanted the burgers. We asked for them Medium. They took over ten minutes to get our food. That was the first sign that the burgers would be overcooked. We were the only customers eating at the time. The burgers were beyond overcooked. The buns were hard, the “seasoned fries” were not seasoned. While waiting for the food, we witnessed the bartender blowing his nose and cleaning his nose with a paper towel, then he wiped his beard with his hands and then never washed his hands. We sent the food back and the bill came back for two guava ciders was over 20 dollars. They never asked to fix the food. A manager never came to try to smooth it over. Not one bit of customer service or trying to improve the kitchen at all. I doubt this place will last long.

    Not worth it. Got a bacon/blue cheese burger with tots. Food came out, tots were cold. Bacon was raw. Took a good 5minutes for the server to come back around. Told her about the bacon, she got it recooked, but now obviously the burger was cold. Just an all around mess. Drinks were pretty terrible too, especially for the price.

    We've become regulars recently as the location can't be beat if you live on the westside, the food is consistently good, and they have great drink options/prices. The patio is spacious with a pretty unobstructed view of the Sandias. We always get good service, but Sandy is fantastic. She's always friendly and personable with great recommendations. Check out the brunch on the weekends!

    Great food and great service! I have visited a half dozen times and always been glad I went. Grilled turkey and avocado sandwich today, made perfectly. A great draft beer selection, I had two IPAs today. Spacious patio and they get serious on game days...

    UPDATE: Management contacted me the next day, Akio offered to host dinner for us to remedy the situation. We went on Friday evening around 7, because we had vouchers to use we chose to eat there instead of having it delivered. The atmosphere was nice, a little loud but nothing crazy. I ordered the BLT again, hubs ordered a burger this time. We also ordered chips & salsa which was good (the salsa is a little on the spicy side FYI). Our food came out pretty quickly and my BLT was awesome, so glad we decided to give it another try! They have a good selection of cocktails, beers on tap & wines; and plenty of food choices on the menu including wings, burgers, salads, and appetizers. Bottom line: GREAT place to eat, we'll be back! Thanks again Akio 🙂 Hubs and I were hungry, thought we'd try something new. They have a pretty decent menu, and we didn't have much trouble picking something to try. We ordered online through UberEats, our driver arrived about 20 mins earlier than expected so that was great! Hubs ordered the Fat Boy Philly, he said it was very good and came with a huge serving of tater tots! I ordered the BLT with special instructions to take off the mayo & add yellow mustard, fries for my side. They removed the mayo but didn't add mustard. Not a big deal, I just added my own. While waiting for our delivery, I read the reviews and for the most part, all positive. A couple of people commented that the bacon was "chewy", so I was understandably a little nervous. Unfortunately, the bacon in my BLT was pretty much uncooked, not even edible. The edges were a little cooked but that was about it. Needless to say, I couldn't eat my sandwich. I have included photos of the bacon for reference. Hubs said his Philly was good, and he had a hard time even finishing his plate. I ate a few of my fries, but was so grossed out by the bacon that I lost my appetite. Hopefully, Neighbors sees this and contacts me to remedy the situation.

    This was our go-to for carryout burgers during COVID, and we loved it. Prices were decent and it was really close. Really great food at reasonable prices until something changed a few months ago. No idea what drove the changes, but prices are 50-75% higher, our favorite menu items are gone, and what's left is bland, depressing, and overpriced. We tried it twice in the last couple months and they couldn't even be bothered to season or fry their fries completely either time.

    Had lunch Saturday afternoon. Little greasy for me I don't take foods with a lot of grease well but it was good. Server was nice. Nice crowd felt safe. People minded their business. For sure the atmosphere is nothing like Effing Bar.

    Me and My husband love to try different places to eat. This evening we had the pleasure of trying Neighbors Bar and Grill. We placed an online order for pick-up. I had the Crispy chicken sandwich with Buffalo sauce, and with garlic Parmesan fries. My husband ordered the Buffalo Bleu sandwich with Greek fries. We also ordered an appetizer…which was the spring rolls. All was absolutely delicious! We highly recommend these choices. Thank you Neighbors Bar and Grill for an outstanding food service for first timers!

    My green chili cheeseburger was a grade above average & here in New Mexico that's saying something. For my side I chose the side salad ( blue cheese dressing ) which was better than expected, it looked great & the taste matched it's presentation. The service was good, we were seated quickly & although our waiter took a few extra tick's to arrive, in his defense we were there on a late Friday afternoon & the place was busy. In short, our waiter was friendly & his service was absolutely passable. My Wife & I have eaten here 5-6 time's in the past & I recommend this Neighborhood type sport's bar/eatery to anyone who is looking for such a place to enjoy a good meal, with good service, & decent surroundings, as it has been consistently good every single time we've eaten there! They also have outdoor dining on a good sized patio, where they allow your pet to dine with you, providing Rover is well behaved I assume.

    We called a month in advance and were told that they would accommodate a party of 24 and when we showed up no one knew anything about it. They sat us outside with one heater and said they didn’t have propane. Literally froze to death outside. The management and wait staff were not sympathetic and advised us that if we didn’t want to be cold we can leave. We would never recommend this place to anyone.

    We like to come here because it's close to home. Came today, Saturday afternoon during the state fair, clearly not busy. Sat outside with our dog and was handed menus right away. A female waitress walked by several times would not make eye contact, finally after 15-20 minutes an exasperated young man comes to our table rolls his eyes and says "either she or I will help you, but the girl is supposed to tell us" he clearly was not happy to be at work. I replied "are you not going to at least take our drink order?" By now he was walking away, clearly not interested in taking our order. My husband at this time was fed up and said "let's just go" I looked at the red shirt wearing man and say "are you going to just let us leave and not help us?!" He literally shrugged his shoulders and couldn't care less. We asked to speak to the manager and he was very nice and apologetic, offered to buy our lunch and reluctantly we sat back down. A few seconds later we decided to leave and told the Manager who again, was very nice that the vibe was not right and we were going to leave. First of all, their food is not even that good and half the menu is blacked out. We went to Holy Cow burger and it was delicious and the wait staff clearly knows what they're doing.

    My friend and I went today for lunch. I ordered the fish 'n chips, as I had been here a couple of months ago, and a friend had ordered this and said it was very good. It had looked really good and the fish portions were huge. What I got today were two VERY small pieces of fish that were a little dry. I also ordered the onion rings, and they were very dry and inedible. My friend ordered the turkey wrap, and she enjoyed her meal. I was going to mention this to our waitress, but it was understaffed, and she didn't have time to ask how our meals were.

    You know, it would be a lot better if you all had drink and food specials throughout the week. Lately, it's been a hit n miss! We love hanging out in the patio. The upgrade took a while to complete, add a few heaters and the atmosphere will be awesome! We love the outside but when it comes to the cooler being down and hot beer, it's a must you let your customers know that before ordering! I think we will stay away for a while...

    Sorry for the one star review. Looks lovely. The hostess said we can take a seat. So we did. Sat for about 10-15 minutes no one came by and greeted our table with menus or service. Just kept walking by. Bartender had only 3 seats taken and the others on the floor had 2 tables. Might give it another try again. We shall see.

    Best fish and chips I’ve ever had. I’m always leery of ordering fish and chips at restaurants because they’re typically too greasy. But Neighbors makes them amazing. They’re huge and really crispy. A dessert I’ve never heard of… funnel cake fries. These sweet little fries are delicious, sweet, and come with a chocolate, caramel, and/or strawberry drizzle. They’re sooo good!

  • 5/5 Reception C. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there on Wednesday for a sandwich, drink and karaoke and was sooooo excited to see my favorite waitress/bartender Phoenix. She is absolutely wonderful at what she does. I always request to sit in her section when she is working. She is very attentive/not overbearing and makes sure that my experience is a good one. I love this place. The food is yummy and the drinks are even better.

    Went and had my fantasy football draft there with a few other guys. Nice open dining room. Ordered the buffalo Bleu burger which was good, fries were really basic. Buddy ordered the nachos which was a huge plate and was pretty good. Definitely want to share the nachos. The bar boasts a wall of draft beers however about half the beers I requested were out at the time so that was a bummer. Server/staff was nice and handled our party well. Sorry forgot to take pics of the place or food was busy drafting.

    On a Tuesday We had blue cheese burger and chicken sandwich with seasoned fries. Phoenix was our awesome waitress who checked on us frequently. Burger was moist and tasty, chicken was the perfect crispness. The fries were spicy, which we loved. Beer is a smidgen over priced compared to other bars. Update: still fantastic, Jordan was our waitress this time and awesome. They were super busy because it was Friday. My daughter had chicken sandwich and it was 1/3 of plate huge. I had the BBQ king and salad.

    Food ordered was pretty good. BLT was really good, not shy with the amount of bacon they use. Mac burger was good just unreasonably huge and difficult to eat. Deep fried pickles were perfect crisp. Not a fan of a neutral Buffalo sauce, they mellow it out with some sweetness.
