👍👍 Had the burger and fries before flying home to Dallas. I ordered a regular hamburger, and they gladly made it. The service was great! People often mention good, time, airport, service, great, beer, green, fries, wait, chili,

    Old Rule: Don't let the Sunport be the last taste of NM food you ever eat. The first salad they served for the day was probably 3 days old. I've had the burgers here pre-covid and they were pretty good. Service is quick, and the beer is pretty good. They get an extra star because they used to be good at one time, maybe this is a momentary lapse in quality..? Hope so, the only other great place to wait for your flight is the sports bar where they don't serve entrees.

    Great service. Good food. Got the green chili philly with green chili mash and a side fried green chili. Impressive beer collection and they offer flights to taste 4 at a time for 7.95 at time of posting. Prices on par with any airport location for food and full drinks. Would come back if in ABQ.

    Albuquerque International Airport is visually beautiful and has an easy to manage layout. It does not have a United Club lounge or a Priority Pass lounge though, so I stopped into this southwestern New Mexican focused eatery inside the A terminal. The meal was great! A fried green chili on a cheeseburger & loaded fries with green chilis! Awesome. & the burger stayed inside the bun.

    Cool place to come if you’re waiting for flights at the Albuquerque Airport. We stopped and had breakfast (and beer) and the food was really good. We do recommend coming here. Lots of seating and bar seating. Family friendly.

    Hands down the best airport restaurant I've ever visited. The food was flavorful and delivered promptly. The beer menu had an assortment for everyone. Prices are high as expected from any airport establishment. Big shout out to the staff. Everyone is extremely friendly and attentive. My server James did a phenomenal job.

    It's a pretty establishment. Doesn't seem to have enough parking when events are happening unfortunately. They have a nice stage in the back and had a really nice performance by Monica and the Krew. I need to go back when they have their full menu on that day. They only had a select few items. And one of the waiters took forever to take her order. Then forgot to bring the drink out or even put it on the receipt. Didn't seem like he wanted to wait on us, but another waiter who he had curly hair and two female waitresses one with Auburn tube, blonde hair and one with black hair and two pigtail braids picked up the slack for him. Tasty sodas that they make in-house.

    Service. Quick and friendly Atmosphere. Fine. Lots of space to accommodate many travelers. Large bar seating too. Menu. Something for everyone. Food. Wings ok. Bacon Blue cheese Burger was super tasty. One of the BEST burgers I have had in a long time. Quality meat! Flavorful fixings.

    Seated quickly, initially the server seemed on top of it, but quickly dropped off. Long wait for drinks. When we advised the waitress we wouldn't have time for food (because the wait for service and drinks) we were advised that "it makes it easier that way." In the future maybe a beer from the bar, but very frustrating!

    Nice bar. The beers are $11 a piece, but the bartenders are super nice and helpful. They filled up my water bottle with ice before the flight and gave me change. The bar doesn't have hooks to hang bags or coats nor does it have outlets to charge your phone. Cherry wheat beer 8.0/10

    I've been to this place twice now. Each time they have dropped the ball completely. This is an airport. One would think they might not wait 15 minutes to take your order. Maybe I am wrong. But shouldn't they be more prompt to the customers that are boarding planes? I've had my card out waiting just to pay my tab now for another 15 minutes. My plane is already boarding. Please take my money.

    Appetizer’s were great! We had street tacos and taquitos. The street tacos were larger than most street tacos I’ve had. The taquitos tasted really fresh, pretty close to hand made! The food was super fast and really good! I would definitely recommend Rio Grande Brew Pub & Grill at Sunport Airport! We loved the service and the atmosphere!

    This place has an absolute delicious Turkey Melt; so good, I feel the need to leave this review. The service at this place is on point, from all directions. The drinks are well made. Most of all, the place isn't so loud that we can't hear each other talk. They had the opportunity to shove in as many tables as the place could hold, but they didn't so the staff can walk around easily and the patrons can feel less overwhelmed by sund. Fantastic! I'll come back. 😌

    Rosa the bartender was absolutely rocking it with a full bar. She was able to deliver high quality customer service by herself even with a packed bar. Never were we without a drink. Everyone at the time we were there was kept happy with timely food and a full drink. A patron bought a round for the packed bar and she delivered without hesitation even though management came to audit during this. Rosa is an asset to your establishment and is definitely in need of recognition.

    This is located in an AIRPORT. Should not be listed as Bars or Beer "Near Me" unless you are traveling. They serve breakfast, but would not budge on getting me a burger before lunch time. Bloody Mary's are decent. The airport is no very big so this is one of the top "IN AIPORT" restaurant's for Albuquerque Airport. Views are nice as well.

    Airport bars can be interesting places. Sometimes you meet interesting people. Other times, there is that one guy who wants everyone to hear him even when he is on the phone. What I didn't enjoy was the bartender trying to up sell drinks.

    Great meal, the chili Philly meal perfect. They have generous portions, hot meals, and friendly service. We got seated by the windows and our 4 year old enjoyed watching the planes drive by. It was a great experience the establishment was busy but our server took good care of us. Thanks!

    Restaurant was dirty, food was borderline and the prices were high. There were bits of food on half the tables (including ours) and trash on the floor. Staff were friendly but neither of us got the right drink. The salsa tasted possibly expired. At least the green chile soup was pretty good.

  • 1/5 Trisha F. 1 year ago on Google
    Twice men decided it was better to have their phone conversations next to my table rather leaving restaurant and taking call in concourse. Was I too unimportant to these men or management too indifferent to me as a customer? When did consideration for others become less than the need to talk about dating preferences and travel plans?

  • 1/5 Sol H. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfriendly and unaccommodating service. I wanted lunch and had to wait 10 minutes to order at 11am rather than taking my order then and and putting it in at 11am. Virtually nothing is Gluten Free and it was difficult to find out if the Chile was GF (thickened with flour). Eventually I ordered tacos only to be told later that they were out of corn tortillas. The attitude from the host to the server to the person who told me they were out of corn tortillas was off putting, as if I was an inconvenience to their day. I vote with my wallet and won't step foot there ever again!

    Stopped while waiting on my flight. Ordered one of their specialties...The Green Chili Cheeseburger. It came with a fried green chili on top of the meat. The burger tasted great. Was a little over cooked. I ordered medium well and it came out very well done almost to the point you could taste the burn. Ordered the sidewinder fries as a side. I was thinking curly fries but these came out swirled but thick. I love thick fries. Wish I would have been hungrier as I could have chowed down on those fries. As it was a regretfully left some on my plate :(.

    Wow! Fresh and well-prepared. Huge portions. Excellent value. Friendly service. Best airport restaurant in America.

  • 4/5 Daniel M. 2 years ago on Google
    I needed a beer. They have quite a selection of drafts. The beer was cold. Cold beer is good. Next time if time allows I'll try their food so until then I can give it but 4 stars. Railway Worker Approved.

    PRO'S: Rio Grande Brew Pub inside the Albuquerque airport was a good enough experience to write a great review. Morgan, our server helped us select a Cobb salad & Rio Grande Chicken Sandwich--both yummy. Reasonable prices and ABQ's excellent clean bathrooms are a plus. CON'S: None. SUMMARY: The Rio Grande Brew Pub is worth a visit if you are in the ABQ airport. We will return on our next Albuquerque & Santa Fe visit.

    Never a bad time here. It’s definitely one of the better airport restaurants / bars. Centrally located in the airport with good food and great view of the runway. Service has always been great when I’ve been here.
